Watercolouring Fun with My Anchor

Playing around with some watercolouring for the background using our wonderful watercolours and brushes.  I also used My Anchor and the My Anchor Thin Cuts (retiring Apr 30th), Pacifica ink, Saffron ink, 3D foam tape. Sentiment is from Teacher Appreciation D1612 (retiring July 31st).  This is a 4x4" card, using White Daisy cardstock.

Have a fun day!

Regatta I Just Love Card

Loved this card when I saw it so of course had to make it ... it is part of the Regatta Workshop Your Way, using the Regatta paper, My Anchor stamp set and My Anchor Thin Cuts ... all set to retire this month  :(  I love this set and papers and am sorry to see them go.

I also used mini-glue dots to attach the White/Gold Ribbon and 3D foam tape to attach the large heart to the card.  Inks used:  Pomegranate, Flaxen and Sapphire. All CTMH except for the red paper.

I can see using this layout with other papers and stamp sets in the future!

Have a great day!

Out of All the Mom's in the World ...

The beginnings of a project ... using Memento Black Ink, Ruby ink, Honey ink, Liquid Glass, B1509 My Mother (retiring Apr 30th) ... haven't worked out the final use yet but I love how this is turning out!  I also used our wonderful Daubers to apply the colour to the flowers.

Have a wonderful day!

Beloved Bouquet Happy Birthday

I used the January Stamp of the Month, Beloved Bouquet (retired) for this card.

The 'Happy Birthday' is from the May Stamp of the Month Celebrate with Cake so you are getting a tiny sneak peek!

I used various reds and greens and forgot to write them down ... I did just put away Topiary and Pear, Ruby, Pomegranate and Pixie so I strongly suspect that's what I used.  I propped up a couple of the flowers with 3D Foam tape.

Hope you managed to snag this set when it was available!

Have a wonderful day!

April Stamp of the Month - Life in Pictures

Ok I Love Love Love this layout, using the April SOTM so I had to CASE it - I will add picture(s) to it later - haven't decided if I'll add small pictures yet but in the meantime, this will work for one 4x6 photo.  As many of you know, I'm not a huge scrap booker but this came together so quickly!  If I can do it, anyone can!  LOL!

If you want this amazing stamp set, don't forget it's only available until Apr 30th so don't miss out.  I can see that I'm gonna have some fun with this set! I also used Memento Black ink, 3D foam tape, Artiste cartridge (Design Space), White Daisy Cardstock.

Have an amazing day!

Share the Love

This is another card that I found somewhere (will update when I find it again!) that I cased and it was very clean and simple to do.

I changed it up a bit by putting an 8x4" piece of white cardstock in backwards so that the card opening is from the inside, rather than the outside.  I liked that better than a simple piece of white cardstock which really doesn't give one anywhere to write!

Anyway, the phone booth card is from Artfully Sent, one of our wonderful Cricut cartridges.

The phone and "hello" are from the Share the Love stamp set (only available this month, $7 of which goes to the Operation Smile charity).

Products Used:

Artfully Sent

Share the Love stamp set

Tuxedo Black ink

White cardstock cut at 8x4, scored at 4", attached so that opening is towards the inside

Have a wonderful day!
