Floral Monogram Card

I'm so excited about my new stamp venture, and while I originally intended these stamps to be used for Bible art & journaling, I just couldn't help but use them to make a card. 

For this card I used my new This & That stamp set, and masked the stamped images into the letter D (which was hand drawn with the help of a stencil). I used some Prismacolor pencils to do some quick coloring, and then layered my stamped & colored piece onto a piece of colored cardstock. It all came together fairly quickly and I love the colorful result!

Thanks for dropping by today!

Hello

Hello.

It's me.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

I've got another shaker card to share today. This one has 4 shaker windows - each with a different combination of sequins to create an ombre effect from top to bottom:

I had fun creating this one and hopefully I will get around to getting it sent out so someone else can enjoy it, too.

Have a great day!

I'm back with another shaker card.

Not much to say about this one - I was just playing around with a few dies cuts and loved this color combo:

Shaker cards are so fun - makes me feel like a kid again!

Hope you're having a great day!

Love & Adore You

I'm back with another shaker card today. (These are so fun!)

This one features two shaker windows:

I filled them pretty full, and love it that way. It gives a great backdrop for the die cut sentiment:

Shaker cards. 

I'm a bit late in the game, but I've recently given them a real shot...and...they are so fun!

This one is a fun one because the shaker portion of the card goes all the way to both edges of the card (without spilling sequins everywhere, thanks to my Fuse tool).

I love how this one turned out - and I can't wait to really shake things up (pun intended) here on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Eclectic Card

I've had this card partially finished for quite awhile. I wanted to try my hand at the "eclectic" style and loved how it was coming along...but adhering that die cut was holding me up. (I was just nervous about getting glue all over the card instead of under the die cut where it belonged.)

It all was okay in the end, and I love how the card turned out:
