Go Bucks!


While watching the Ohio State game and needing a card sample for our booth display boards, I came up with this!

Hootie is a Buckeye!!!
For this card, I stamped the background stamp from Ohio Game Day stamp set, then placed the second largest die and the smallest emerald die centering them to make the block O.  I used removable tape to hold them in place while running them thru the machine.
I then stamped (using Memento Tuxedo Black) and colored Hootie  from the Owl So Cute Too stamp set with Copics {he is grey just hard to tell in the photo!}
then made my buckeye with the left die included in the Emerald Cut {die}mond Die Set and a 3/4" punch for the buckeye.
 Cut the {die}alog bubble from the AJVD {die}velop Foto Frame & {die}alogue Bubbles Die Set sentiment is also from  Ohio Game Day stamp set.
A little of AJVD Exclusive {Buckeye Blend} Divine Twine tops it off!

 

Thanks for checking it out and Go Bucks!!!

Happy PeePster!

Happy PeePster!

Peepster is one of my favorite sets! That little Bunny is just so cute!
This weeks challenge was to create a 3 x 3 card so immediately chose Peepster!
I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Ink on Copic X-Press It paper and colored with the following 
Copics RV11, RV13, RV14. It is on a {die}namic Duo die cut I then layered a pink {die}namic Fancy Label behind it.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry to stamp the Quatrefoil background.
Stamped the {die}luxe Jewelry Tags with two of the tiny words from the Peepster Stamp set. Pinned it on the seam binding with a Silver Pear Pin!

Welcome to the Springtacular Blog Hop

Welcome to the Springtacular Blog Hop
If you started at the beginning you should have just come from Jillian's blog ~ Princess and the Paper!

Coloring these daisies is SO MUCH FUN!  I am so thankful we connected with Lisa of Lisa Lara Originals!!! Her designs are adorable! This is from her Flutters & Flowers set.

For this card I wanted to try something new ~ so after coloring the flowers and grass with my Copic markers, I used the Ranger Embossing Pen, Sticky Embossing Powder then sprinkled on the Stickles Dry Glitter!  I love this soft look!  I also added it to the center of the 3D{ie} Bow.
The Banner {die}tails is stamped with Memento Angel Pink using the NEW Background Builder Vintage Floral stamp to give a tone on tone effect ~ I just LOVE that Vintage Floral Stamp too!!!
Layered it all together with AJVD Emerald Cut {die}mond die cuts!

These products were used to complete this card:

And for my next card . . . 
 Well the other day I had an EPIPHANY!  Our {die}luxe Jewelry Tags could make a Daisy!!!
So in to the craft room I went and how cute are these!!!
I started with our NEW Sunburst Swirls Background Builder Stamp, stamped in Versamark Dazzle ink to give it a tone on tone effect!  Then die cut 12 "petals" for the full flower and 6 "petals" each for the half flowers, connected them using a brad.  I embossed them with the Dotted Swiss embossing folder and then sanded. The Flower pot is from the Spellbinders™ Flower Pots die set.
I used Kraft paper and then went over it in Frayed Burlap Distress Stain.
The sentiment strip is from our Banner {die}tails set and sentiment from Flower Power!
