World's Best Dad - Wild Whisper Design Team

Hello! Welcome back! It's been a very long since my last blog post but I'm back with a project I created for Wild Whisper Designs. This months new release is called Small Patterns and it's a fabulous collection of double-sided pattern paper. 

Here is sneak peek of my project -

The Perfect Blend

Ah, the delicious smell of coffee when heating embossing powder. 

Wait. What?

Yes, you heard me right. Kim, the creative genius behind the embossing powders of Emerald Creek Craft Supplies has brought together a perfect blend of gorgeous java colored embossing powder and the yummy scent of fresh brewed coffee. She's has called it Just Java and it's addictive. This embossing powder will be available on January 20th. Ask your local retailer to carry it or order it directly from Emerald Creek.

I recently created a card for a friend who shares my love for a great cup of coffee and I couldn't resist using this Just Java embossing powder.

To see how I created this card you can check out the video on YouTube

Perfect Blend Stamp Set

1 Background.4 Cards.Valentine's Day Edition

I'm back with another quick background that I made into 4 cards

especially for Valentine's Day.

This one I made especially for my husband - this year will be our 25th Valentine's Day together.

I truly believe that our love has made many impossible situations possible. 

Ok - enough of the sappiness let get on to the craftiness!

My base is a 9x12 sheet of 140lb cold press watercolour paper that I dragged through 4 Distress Stain Colours that I smooshed on to my splat mat and spritzed with water.

Once I was happy with the result I dried my paper and trimmed it down to 4 card fronts.

For these 4 cards I used the Collaged Hearts stamp set from Dina Wakely, the Urban Chic stamp set from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous, and the script "Love" stamp from Stampin' Up!.

While rummaging through my stash I found this 'LOVE' stamp - its almost 2" tall and completely awesome! After I stamped it I used a white paint pen to outline one side of the word and then I used my Hickory Smoke Distress Marker on the other side, 

I just love how it makes the word pop off the background.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Peaceful Wreath

Saturday night was the first Paradise Lost One Day Crop of Fall 2015 and it was fabulous!

It was great to catch up with friends and to make some new friends.
Thank you to all the lovely ladies who attended!

 In the end, I wasn't really as productive as I had planned on being.
12 hours later and I had 6 Christmas cards.

I am so thankful to Heather for bringing her Peaceful Wreath stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I used Fired Brick, Twisted Citron & Peeled Paint to colour in the stamped image of Peaceful Wreath.

I don't use sequins a lot but they worked really well with the dot embossed card base.
and added a wee bit of bling.

I'm starting to feel festive and inspired to make more Christmas themed projects!
