Berry Sweet Boys with Not 2 Shabby


Hi friends! I'm popping in today with a little more inspiration using the March Box of the Month from Not 2 Shabby. I was in the mood to color, so I busted out my Copic markers and the sweet Berry Best Friends stamp set from this month's box. 


I picked some colors to go with the large strawberry background paper from the Yummy Strawberry paper pad. I love the bold greens and red, and tied it together with the light blue paper from the same pad. Just because paper has a pattern on it already, doesn't mean you can't make it your own. Here I made a little blue sky background with some stormy sky distress ink and a cloud stencil.  I then used some of the excess greenery from when I cut the strawberry paper down to die cut some grass and glued it behind and in front of my two sweet boys. This panel is popped up on dimensional foam and I tucked a colored strawberry underneath it.

I finished off with a sentiment from the set, stamped onto a die cut and then accented with some sparkly enamel dots. I just love this sentiment. It's Spring Break this week for the boys, and they sure are sweet and precious days spent together!

I hope you are having a wonderful day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spring Greetings with Not 2 Shabby


Hello crafty friends! Who's excited for spring? I'm ringing in the brand new season with a spring greetings card! I'm more than ready for some spring vibes!

This card came together really quickly with the help of the Pink Blossom Easter PET tape and Watercolor Roses paper pad from Not 2 Shabby Shop. For the layout, I cut 1.25" x 5" strips from three patterns in the Watercolor Roses paper pack. I then taped them together and used white pin stripe peel-off strips as a divider between the prints. 


For the horizontal divider, I pulled in a 1.5" x 3.75" strip of wood grain paper from the Farm Life Paper Pad.  I lined the top and bottom with some heart chain peel off stickers. The gorgeous easter egg bucket sticker from the Pink Blossom Easter PET Tape is my focal image, placed onto an oval die cut from a pink print in the Watercolor Roses paper pad. The oval is matted with a white scalloped oval and then popped up on dimensional foam.  The sentiment is from the Spring Gnome stamp set. I stamped each word separately, then drew little frames around them. I finished with a soft pink mat around the main panel and a few of the butterfly stickers on the papers.

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