You Had Me at Books

Hey crafty friends! Today I'm playing along with the This or That hop over on Instagram. The theme this week is CATS or DOGS. Since I am a cat person through and through there wasn't even a contest on which I would choose!

I've had the Tales of Friendship set from Not 2 Shabby unopened on my shelf for a few months now, so decided it was a purr-fectly good time to pull it out and play. I knew I wanted to use papers from the new The Blue Seas pad, so selected them first. Next I picked my Copic color palette, pulling out some BG70's and E30's and Warm Grays for my furry friend. I stamped with alcohol safe4 black ink, then colored, highlighting the kitty with a stardust glitter pen and some glossy glaze for her shiny eyes.

The sentiment is from the Books Galore paper pad, which has several book themed sentiments on one of the papers. I cut it with a circle die, then inked the edges of my papers with frayed burlap ink and layered together.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic day.

High Tides Good Vibes

Hi friends! I'm definitely feeling the summer vibes as we approach the official start of summer! And looking forward to our vacation on the coast next month. Not 2 Shabby's Down the Shore papers and Tranquil Sea Card Fronts seemed like the perfect way to get me in the mood to start my packing list.

For this card, I went "off grid" with the EZ Wonder 3 dies and add-ons. Linh showed us a trick on one of her livestreams to fold the postage grid die cut in half along the seams and tear for a perfect postage look without having to try to cut exactly half way down. I did this for the sandy glitter paper, then used the EZ3 add-on dies to cut out my inner stamps from the card fronts pack.  I just love this girl staring out at the ocean.

The sentiment is from one of the stamps in the June Box of the Month and I doodled in a couple of flying birds. The main background is from the Down the Shore pad, cut with a die from my stash and then I pulled in some Serene Escape paper behind to tie in with the colors on her dress. I'm having so much fun playing with the EZ3 Dies. Remember, to get yours you'll need to pre-order because these are not stocked regularly.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
