Feel Better Lighthouse

I never seem to have enough masculine cards so over the weekend I used a couple lighthouse stamp sets to fix that!  Today's card was created using Stampin' Up's From Land To Sea.  I used basic gray cardstock and DSP paper.  To add a little texture, my score board came in handy for creating embossed lines.  The sentiment is from a retired stamp set.  The card seemed a little "empty" on the embossed lines side, so I added three white Candy Dots which unfortunately are no longer available.  Have a great day!

Cute Easter Box


You all know that I am into favors.  When Lawn Fawn released their Fancy Box die set, I ordered it and here is the first favor I made using it.  I especially like the scalloped edge for the closure.  This box measures about 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" x 7/8".  I used scraps of pattern paper and an egg die from another Lawn Fawn die set to make the little eggs with which I embellished the top of the favor. I am sure that I will have many versions of the Fancy Box after I play with it more.  But really, I wanted to show how the Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Carmel bunny fits the oval window perfectly! And there is still room for other little Easter treats!  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little Stampin' time!

Little Brown Bella

The cuteness continues.  SU's Bella & Friends stamp set is darn cute!  Last week I received Brewster (Bella) & Friends dies from Dies By Dave.  Even though they match Stampin' Up's stamp set, Dave cannot use the SU names when selling his dies.  So, Bella became Brewster for the die set!  I colored Bella using Copic markers and adhered her to a die cut piece of foam before adhereing her to the Layering Circles from Staminp' Up.  Polka dot paper and a little scallop edge complete the card.  The sentiment is from an old stamp set.  This card is a nice combination of SU's old and new.  Have a great day!

Happy Hatchling

I must tell you now that the remainder of this week's posts will all be sooo cute!  Today I am starting off with a card that uses Lawn Fawn's Happy Hatchling die set.  I watched a video on Lawn Fawn's blog from February18th in which this card was made and I knew I had to have the dies.  I die cut everything, put it together and stamped the sentiment.  Unfortunately, I used clear embossing powder instead of white for the sentiment~~oops.  The grass and little flowers are not part of the Happy Hatchling set.   But even without the grass and flowers, this card is just too cute!  Have a great day!
