Beep Boop Beep

I was so excited to get some new Lawn Fawn goodies this week. I got a lot of the new release but I also got Beep Boop stamps and dies. For this card I stamped the robots and speech bubbles and then used the die cuts to create masks. The stencil is from DCVW. I stamped the cogs over the stenciling.

Smile You Did It!

Today I'm at the Newton's Nook blog and I have a video featuring this fun Distress Ink technique and this adorable owl from Newton's Nook Sweetheart Tails.

I'm such a big fan of using a rainbow of colors and I love how it really shines with all the white space. On a personal note. This is the first week of school with my kindergarteners. So exciting but tiring! I admit I'm using liberal amount of coffee to bridge the gap between my summer schedule and my school schedule.

Happy Halloween

Today I have a card and video featuring the adorable mummy cat from Gerda Steiner Designs.

I will be sharing more videos with the other stamps from the release in the future. For this card I wanted to try a technique that wouldn't work with digital stamps since I had the pleasure of finally having Gerda Steiner cuteness is rubber form. So I used it for an emboss resist. 

Life is Good

This adorable little stamp is Take a Break from Gerda Steiner Designs. I adore this image because as the school year approaches and life gets a little hectic, those few minutes when it's just me and my coffee are priceless. In fact, I'm writing this blog post while enjoying the morning silence and my cup of tea and it's blissful. The papers are Dear Lizzy from American Crafts, the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Life is Good, and I colored this cutie with Copics. I hope you have a few moments to take a break and maybe even treat yourself to a new image to color.
