jenn shurkus: cape cod stamps

I am so happy to be joining my friend Jenn Shurkus in her very first stamp release today! As you may know if you follow her she is all about the beach and loves her life on Cape Cod. I have been fortunate to visit here there many times over the last 10 years and I can see why she loves it so much. Today, she is realizing a dream of releasing some stamps of her very own, and of course nothing would be appropriate than this stamp set that shows her love of her life on the Cape. These stamps are perfect for any nautical/beachy cards and you can buy them HERE on Jenn's website! 


I have made a couple of quick and easy cards to share with you today using this set. The first one had to feature the "lobsta" of course....


I stamped the "lobstas" all over my main panel, and colored them in with copic. I also used black novo drops and the tip of stylus to create the "eyes". I added a little white gel pen to make the sentiment pop. 

And another sweet card with the adorable Ferry Stamp and the Welcome to Cape Cod Sign...

For this card, I stamped and fussy cut the ferry and added it to a beachy scene using some scene building dies. It was the perfect place to put the Welcome to Cape Cod sign in the sand...

get cracking on christmas: march 2019

Continuing along with my goal to 'Get Cracking on Christmas' all year long, by creating my Christmas cards with a few crafty friends throughout the year! If you want to see how it all started, go to my original post here.

I've been really behind this year on crafting (and everything else), but happy to get back into the swing of things this month with my friends Jenn and Chari. Be sure to visit their blogs to check out the fabulous cards they have made. If you are in the mood to make some Christmas cards along with us, be sure to post them on Instagram and use the hashtag #getcrackingonchristmas :) 

For my card this month, I have created a fun (non-traditional colored) unicorn card using the Unicorn Ice Castle set colored in pinks and purples. Perfect for some of the little (and big) girls on my holiday card list! 

I'm wayyyyy behind, but leaving these supplies out on my table. Hope to be able to create a small stash of these to add to my pile for 2019 before next month!

neat and tangled: eggciting

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 of the Neat and Tangled release for March...today we have something very Eggciting for you! This adorable little bunny and his giant egg in the Eggciting stamp and die set.

For my card today, I colored the bunny in with Copics and used the tiny heart to 'decorate' the egg. I nestled him into a field of grass and layered the panel onto a scalloped panel before adhering to my card:
