Happy Easter stamped background card

I am so excited to share this latest Joy's Life Stamp card with you today! I admit that I don't love making Easter cards. In fact, I rarely do it. This one just came to me though and I kind of love how it turned out! 

I used the 'happy' stamp from the Everyday Occasions stamps and paired it with the 'easter' from the Holiday Occasions stamps. I felt that the two different fonts added more visual interest which I liked because I was using the sentiment as my background paper also. Check out the Joy's life DT blog for more details on this card.

First Card published in Cards magazine!

I almost forgot that I can share this now! This is my first card that was published in Cards magazine! I haven't seen it in print yet, but I have seen it online and it's so exciting!

This was part of the Style challenge section - use purple, pink and red along with lace. I used Lily Bee and Crate paper papers and an SRM sentiment sticker.

My Little Shoebox and Unity Stamps card

I had such fun with this card! I used the My Little Shoebox Audrey line and a MLS/Unity stamp. The girls were a little too far apart on the stamp to fit the way I wanted them on the card, so I masked them and stamped each one individually so I could make them a tad closer together. The sentiment is Joy's Life.
I also punched some hearts with a heart shaped hole punch so that the paper peeks through. I never use that hole punch. It is from when I first started scrapping and my mom bought me a big package of scrap stuff including all kinds of deco scissors and stuff. I saved that hole punch and gave it to Ellie to use. It was fun to get it out and use it on this project!

I was going to enter this is the unity stamps challenge for this month, but I didn't read the rules well enough in advance, apparently you have to use ONLY unity stamps. Oh well, it's still cute right?!

confetti stamped cricut masked birthday card

For this card I used some more Joy's Life stamps. I used 'Birthday' from the Everyday Occasions stamps, 'Happy' from the Holiday Occasions stamps and 'Make a Wish' from the 'You're So Punny' stamps.

I used the same stamp masking using a cricut cut out as I did on the bee Buzz card, but this time I used different stamps and different colors of blue to differentiate between the parts of the cupcake. I will be putting a full tutorial on the Scrapstreet magazine blog this Friday. 

This card was inspired by the Moxie Fab winter blues challenge, and also the Create blog confetti challenge. 

I didn't have any confetti so I made my own using my crop-a-dile big bite and a few scraps of varying shades of blue cardstock. The card took WAY more confetti than I thought it would, and consequently, the punching took FOREVER! I like how it turned out though. I used glossy accents to adhere the confetti.

This card is also for the Charisma Cardz masking challenge, the creative inspirations anything goes challenge, the simon says anything goes challenge, and the paper play something old something new challenge - old cardstock scraps, new stamps.

Cricut masked What's the BuZZ card

My first design team post is up on the Joy's Life Design team blog! I am so excited to be working with Joy's Life stamps! I have been experimenting more with stamps so I wanted to try something a little different. Here is what I came up with.

You can find the 'What's the Buzz?' stamp on the You're So Punny set. Check out the Joy's Life Design team blog for more details on how I created this card.

Pagemaps sketch layout for Webster's Pages

You know I love Webster's Pages, and I also love Pagemaps. So I just HAD to do this layout for a chance to win the new Sunday picnic collection from Webster's Pages.

I used some Bella Blvd and We R Memory Keepers papers and embellishments along with a studio calico wood frame. The stamped leaves are unity stamps and I used a technique with a transparency to get the mirror image of the stamp. Stamp on the transparency then turn it upside down and place it where you want it then rub like a rubon.
