Loves Rubber Stamps - Anything Goes Challenge

Good Morning crafty people! Today is a new Challenge at Loves Rubber Stamps....Challenge 81 is everyone's favorite - anything goes!

I decided to create a Clean and Simple (for me!)  card today featuring the adorable Lawn Fawn critters. This is for my nephew's birthday....I have 3 nephews and two of them have birthday's in December so I get to make lots of cards this month. :-)

I love this Lawn Fawn set.  The animals are adorable and they come with matching dies so it's quick and easy to make a cute card.

Loves Rubber Stamps - {Sensational Sunday Blog Hop} Gorjuss Decoupage

Hi everyone and welcome to the Loves Rubber Stamps Sensational Sunday Blog Hop! 

December 1....can you believe we are in December~?? 

I have been "recovering" from our trip to San Diego for Thanksgiving where we brunched at Hotel Del Mar.  My 2 year old was not as into the brunch as we were, but it was still a delish day!  And I can't complain since there are no dishes to wash.

So for today, the Design Team has created some gorgeous projects for your Inspiration. Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, each stop will have a full list of links. One of the Design Team posts is the hop's Sensational Sunday Sweet Spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to be in a monthly drawing for a $20 Loves Rubberstamps Gift Voucher!  We will draw the winner of the Voucher the 1stSunday of each month! Remember, you have until 8:00 pm CST Saturday to leave your comments!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments the last time I created the Gorjuss Girls Decoupage card! I had so much fun with the decoupage, I have decided to create a new decoupage for today.

I used the Gorjuss Girls Decoupage "New Heights" pack that I bought at Loves Rubberstamps.  LOVE!!!  Not to sound like a commercial, but it was only $4.99 and it includes all the stuff below, plus some extra paper not even shown here:

Materials used

Gorjuss Girls Decoupage Pack "New Heights"

Crate Paper

Bo Bunny 6 x 6 "Woodland Winter"

Best Cleaner Ever

Best Glue Ever

Copics

My Favorite Things Dies "Blueprints 4"

A little word on the MFT Blueprints....they came out this summer and I was a little late to this party and just purchased my Blueprints and this was the first time using them.  WOW!  I love the Blueprints because it all fits together and makes the card so easy.  I will definitely be using this again.  

Card Instructions

To decoupage this card, I just popped out the image and the image repeats.  I mixed Diamond Glaze with a little water and brushed it on the base, then I used Best Glue Ever as if it were a silicone glue, because it  is not runny so it dries in a nice ball if you want it to, and I attached the second figure raised by the glue.  Then I pasted a coat of Diamond Glaze over this.  Repeat.  It is super fast and easy. Actually quicker for me than coloring and stamping.  Decoupage is fun!

I love this woodland feel on this card, and hope you do too!  Thanks for joining us in our Loves Rubber Stamps Sensational Sunday Blog Hop!  And thank you for leaving comments.....I so enjoy reading all them.

Word Art Wednesday - November 27

My Inspiration card! 

Today is a little shout out to my Mom! She sent me the card above with this beautiful sunburst - and it inspired my card for today. I love the pretty papers and layout.  My Mom even made her own washi tape here!  

My card for today is for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  I hope you will play along with us - it is very simple "anything goes", just create an uplifting and positive card and post it at Word Art Wednesday challenges.  You can use this week's verse below, but it is not required.  

Karen M. (Papercraft Memories) created the beautiful graphic for today's verse:  

And here is my take on my Mom's sunburst card! The designer paper is actually from the Japanese dollar store - Daiymo here in Southern California.  The die is the Circle Pierced MFT die, cut in half.

Thanks for peeking!

Loves Rubber Stamps - "Give Thanks" Challenge

Good Morning crafty people!  Today the Challenge at Loves Rubber Stamps is Thanksgiving.  We are sponsored by the wonderful Saturated Canary, but who needs an excuse to color up a Saturated Canary image!?! Since the theme is "Thanks" I decided to make a Thank You card for my daughters student teacher who has been going out of her way to help my daughter in class.  The little matching treat bag is for some chocolate. 

Patience....is what I am practicing with this HAIR! ....I know I am getting so much more patient the older I get, but working on detailed hair like this really lets you practice the art of patience.  

Above are the Copics I used.  

Hair:  E57, E49, E33.   Skin:  YROOO, YROO, EO2

You can find the supplies here at Loves Rubber Stamps!
