Two-fer Challenge #6 ~ Trees!

I'm so excited to be playing along at the latest Two-fer Challenge. It's Darnell's brain

child, where we're challenged to use the same stamp (or die) 2 different ways and 

create 2 different cards for 2 different occasions.

This month's key word is 'Trees'. 

I chose a die set from Frantic Stampers called, Lollipop Trees.

1st card:

I used my lollipop trees the traditional way, and set them in a window created with 

MFT's Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle die. Then framed the window with PTI's

Coverplate: Nesting. 

Have you ever worked with Lindy's Stamp Gang's Magicals? 

It comes in powder form, and when you apply water, the effect is well, magical!

The trees are die cut from a panel I made from 'hi Maintenance Magenta.'

Tree trunks cut from a wood look washi tape.

2nd Card:

On a PTI tag, I made the 'tree' into a triple ice cream cone, with lots of sprinkles. 

The cone is from PTI's Colorful Treats. 

Those cute little sprinkles are actually from a PTI die!

Below is a list of supplies I used.

12 Kits of Occasions: May '18 You're a Good Egg

Hello everyone! Welcome to the last day of May, and 12 Kits of Occasions, where you

are treated to 12 designer friends and their creations! 

This month I'm hostess, and my kit is themed 'You're a Good Egg'.

My husband and I live on 2 1/2 acres and raise chickens for their eggs.

By day they roam the homestead, and at night are snugly tucked into their coop.

To say they've won our hearts is an understatement! We affectionately call them 'the girls',

and have to say, we smile each time we crack open an egg!

And with that in mind, may I present this month's kit... full of chickens and eggs and 

hopefully a few 'cluckles'!

You'll see lots of Lawn Fawn this month, especially their set, 'Hay There', and some of 

their wonderful papers.

I've invited 2 friends this month, Colleen Foelker, and Linda Snodgrass.

Be sure to drop by and give 'em some love!

So get comfy, put your feet up, grab a cuppa, and enjoy. There's a whole lot of 

crafty country to see!

Remember, all products are listed on the 12 Kits' products page.

And one more note: I'm an affiliate for PapertreyInk. All their products I used are

hi-lighted and are a direct link to their shop. If you like something I used, I'd love it

if you use my link up. Thanks!

It's all about farm life with my box card made with Lawn Fawn's sweet images!

The scene was made using Lawn Fawn's Scallop Pop Up Box Card die set.

Included in the kit was Lawn Fawn's Simple Grassy Hillsides...

can't wait to see how my teammates used it!

Adore these sweet Lawn Fawn ducklings!

and stamped with Text & Texture: Roses Stamp Set

Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper. I had the stitched square and rectangles left over from 

the pop up box. Skillet & egg carton: Cottage Cutz.

I saw these chicks from Stampin' Up on Pinterest and had to add them to my stash. You can 

still get them on eBay, but be forewarned... they're pricey. See the one with the funky hair?

That's chick attitude. LOVE it! Oh, and btw, Those are real feathers off my girls, discarted

not plucked. The grandkids love to collect them from the coop.

Chicken Wire, hen & egg also Stampin' Up.

Last card is some ombre inking over a Cottage Cutz die set.

Hope you enjoyed a bit of card making country style, and hope you

visit the 12 Kits designers for more fun on the farm!

Hugs, y'all!

12 Kits of Occasions October '17: Boo to You!

Happy Halloween Greetings! It's the day before the spooking begins, and

12 Kits of Occasions is bringing you October's post today. 

This month I'm the hostess, and I had such a good time putting together a not too frightful 

kit for all my teammies.

Thanks to Lindsey, our resident genius when it comes to photographing a bit of

everything included in the kit. Mwah! 

No time to waste, hope your cuppa is handy, I have a ton to show you!

Let's start with some brew from Frantic Stamper to kick things off.

By the way, if anything catches your eye, there's a list of products used in the kit

on the 12 Kits blog.

It truly is 'All About the Candy'

Not too long ago Marybeth used this boxcard die from Reverse Confetti on one of her projects.

Had to have it, and loved adding some of the designer papers to decorate it. The haunted town

die cut was included in the kit.

Funny story, my teenage granddaughter is afraid of spiders, which always seem to show up in our 

house when she's visiting. Guess who got this card for Halloween? 'Grandma, you're so mean!'

You have to have a shaker in the lineup. The die's from Memory Box.

Kept this card simple to showcase this trio from Impression Obsession.

Does anyone really eat candy corn? But it's like the symbol of Halloween!

I think I used this stamp and die set from Poppystamps more than any other this season. 

They are just so darn cute!

Still with me? My last (I promise!) card uses puff paint (Tsukineko Neon Amplify) 

to give my pumpkins some dimension. 

And that's it for this hostess. Hope you enjoyed it. And hope you visit each and every 

teammie and leave some love on their blogs.

I have a prize to give one winner of our drawing, so don't forget to comment!

Hugs, and Happy Halloween!

12 Kits March '16 Spring Fling

It's Spring, and it's time for the 12 Kit's of Occasions post.

It's Michelle Leone's month to  provide our theme,

'Spring Fling'

and just look at the goodies she sent us!

I couldn't stop putting together colors and die cuts, even the cutest

clothespin with wood bird attached! 

Well, just have a look!

1st off, this sassy bunny, perfect for coloring with watercolor pencils.

So many Eastery designer papers, among them, this colorful 

egg paper which I used for the colors on Miss bunny.

Michelle sent these sweet bunny die cuts, which I brown inked a bit and

mounted over a vellum tag with fussy cut Easter eggs.

Everything you see here was included in Michelle's kit, 

right down to the fluffy bunny tail!

So in love with this basket weave die, I had to order it!

It's from Frantic Stamper.

I used one of my tags in the kit to make this spring birthday card,

and colored the 'birthday' sentiment.

Oh yes, there's more!

Once again, one of those adorable bunny die cuts!

This time a shaker, with some of the seed beads and flower sequins. 

the radish was fussy cut. Don't you just love the basket weave in kraft?

(I think Frantic Stamper will be overrun after all our posts!)

This tag came stamp colored. All I did was add the GA, and pink dots.

I fussy cut a few of the leftover flowers from this adorable 2 sided dp.

A happy Easter card with more bunnies!

Fussy cut carrots and added those sweet pastel sequins!

This PTI tag was included.

Just had to fussy cut some of the stamped flowers and include them.

Along with that darling bird pin!

So many unique elements made for a happy spring kit!

Would you believe I have more left over?

Loved it all, Michelle, Thank You!!!
