For the bar, I cut a piece of white paper 1.75" x 5.5". Used my score board to score every 8th" . Cut a strip .25"  x 5.5" to finish the bar.  Used a cream paper and hand cut the sand, added a few dots in the sand. Used Distressed Oxide Tea Stain to edge the sand. Nuvo crystal drops for the bubbles.

My Sons Wedding Invitations

 This is the designed I came up for my son and his fiance. I described what I wanted and Crackerbox Stamps are amazing to work with. Wendy loves dolphins and they plan on swimming with the dolphins 🐬 on their honeymoon.   

I Stamped and heat emboss with silver Embossing powder. Then I fussy cut around the Dolphins to create the heart. Of course used a popdot to give a shadow underneath.  

This Stamp was created by:

Crackerbox  Stamps: https://www.crackerboxandsuzystamps.com/search/label/Snarky%20%26%20Funny%20Cards?m=1

Used Metallic Crystal,  and Jupiter:

The invitations were a accucut die

Fox Congratulations Card

 This month I'm super excited to have been asked to be  a guest designer for InkyStamper. This company loves puns.  I often hear people are looking for ideas for masculine cards. I believe this card is a great card for many different occasions, birthday,  encouragement,  or just bc. 

I die cut 2 foxes out of white paper and one colored fox. I glued and stack them on top of one another.  Making a spinner you want to strengthen your image. 

I used lawn fawn die to make my card interactive. I placed my card front down. Then I glued the cut out down. 

I used double-sided foam tape

 I used 2 pennies and popdot between the pennies.  You want to lay the penny down, to make sure your foam tape doesn't interfere with your movement.  When using foam tape, I always use glue.  Because it allows you a little extra time to place your card perfectly.

Martini Lady

 This stamp reminds me of Holly Goes lightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Gold mirror paper and  Metallic paper is always a beautiful combination choice.

Supplies needed:

Momento Black Ink

Versa mark ink

Embossing buddy 

tape

Purple and lilac metallic papers

Gold mirror Paper 

Gold Embossing powder

3" gold ribbon 

1 glue dot

A2 Card with a window diecut out in the center. I have to apologize didn't realize this card kit isn't available.

Because metallic paper  use your embossing buddy. Versa mark for wet embossing the gold embossing powder. 

For the sentiment,  I inserted the lilac paper and made tic marks on each side to make sure the stamp was placed correctly.  (I use a mechanical pencil,  it erases better than any pencil I have found). 

I taped the mountain and valley to the inside tag. Which was included in the kit. I used a glue dot on the ribbon because I wanted the ribbon to lay flat.

Swinging Fairies

                Night-time Swinging Fairies 

I don't normally do silhouette stamps so this stamp was fun yet challenging.

Link to the Swinging Fairies

 I started out with ivory cardstock.  I masked off for the moon. Used scattered straw and squeezed lemonade Distressed oxide for the glow around the moon. Then I applied more Distressed Oxides for the background, starting with the BluePrint Sketch.  Next I'll be bringing  in Faded Jeans.  Last I used the Chipped Sapphire to finish up the edge. I used a white gel pen for highlights on the Fairies and stars. Used black and silver metallic cardstock.
