You Make Me Happy

Hi friends! I'm popping in today with a little Jaded Blossom inspiration.  I pulled out an old favorite, the Just Add Marshmallows set and paired it with the Gnome Dies: S'more Add Ons for a just because kind of card.

The image of the cocoa mug was colored with Copic markers, then I cut a slit in the top to tuck in a few marshmallows cut with the Gnome Dies: S'more Add Ons.  I Copic colored one of the large marshmallow die cuts to finish off my focal point.

I used the Card Mat Dies for most of the panels of patterned paper, then pulled out the Happy Hello set for the sentiment strip.  I finished off with a few sparkling enamel dots for accent.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your day is happy!

Flowery Meadow

Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a little inspiration featuring the Not 2 Shabby April Paper Pad Club. Earlier this month I shared projects with the Never Say No to Coffee pad, so today I'm working with the Flowery Meadow paper pad.

This paper pad has a page of cut aparts as one of the designs that you can cut by hand or with a scan 'n cut machine.  I did that for todays cards.

For my first card, I did a paper collage technique, just tearing different papers and piecing them together for a cohesive background. I borrowed a sentiment from the Spring Gnome sentiment to stamp on the lined paper, then die cut in a circle. I matted with some of the green sparkle paper from the pad. I layered a few of the floral pieces from the cut apart page for my main focal point, then accented with sparkling enamel dots.

For my second card, I used the EZ Wonder Die #1 with papers from the pad to create a shaker window.  I accented with more of the cut apart images, then fussy cut one of the flowers from the purple paper to add to the flag banner.  The sentiment is from the Tropical Leaves set and cut with the coordinating dies. I layered some more of the designs, adding some white scallop edges as borders to finish things off.

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