A Foxy Hello

 Hello Friends. Larissa here with you today. I am so happy we are about to get some Fall weather here in Texas. We usually have 2 seasons here Summer and Winterish. Never get snow!!

Today I am using this adorable stamp set Going Wild. 

I stamped the fox onto a piece of white cardstock and colored him using Prismacolor Pencils and blended with OMS.
I then cut him out and grabbed some pattern paper from Doodlebug Designs Forest Friends Paper pad. I also die cut the word Hello. 

I adhered everything to the card base using my ATG except for the Fox which I popped up with foam tape.
I tied a piece of brown ribbon around the bottom of the card to finish it off.

I can't wait to use him on other cards.
Hope you enjoyed my post today and don't forget to check back always for inspiration from the amazing Creative Team.

Have a wonderful day. 

Home Where Our Story Begins

Hello friends. Larissa here with you today. I am using two different stamp sets from
Susan K Weckesser. 

First I used one of the little houses from 

Tumbleweed Houses. 

Secondly I used the three mushrooms and leaves stamp from
What's Up Gnomey? 

I stamped the leaves over the entire card front with Stampin Up Slate Gray ink. I stamped some off first on a piece of scratch paper then onto the card front. 

I then stamped the mushrooms down at the bottom of the card using Stampin Up Real Red Ink. I stamped the house in the middle of the mushrooms using Colorbox® Color Pop Archival Dye Ink by Susan K. Weckesser in Mystery.

I colored the leaves using Prismacolor Pencil in True Green.
For the mushrooms and grass I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint. The house I used Distress Ink Weathered Wood. 

For the sentiment: I actually have seen this sentiment on a few signs in friends homes and I thought it would fit perfectly. So I wrote it across the card front. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Have a wonderful rest of your day friends.

A Halloween Hello

Hello friends. Larissa here today with a fun Halloween Hello card. I love What's up Gnomie. He is one of my favorite stamps. I think I have used him for just about every holiday there is. Today I paper pieced his outfit using some Halloween theme pattern paper. I love this pack of paper from Doodlebug.

I stamped the image on a piece of white cardstock and colored his face and beard with Copic markers.

I then stamped the image again on a piece of pattern paper. I trimmed that piece out right next to the stamped line. I then glued that piece on the white piece of cardstock.

I gave the bottom of his outfit a little shading with my C3 Copic maker.

I cut a piece of black cardstock with a medium oval die to place behind Gnomie to made him pop off the pattern paper.

To finish off the card front I grabbed my Hello die and cut it out of a piece of purple cardstock and added a little clear glitter.

I adhered everything to the white cardbase using my ATG.

Hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful day friends.

Soul of a Gypsy

Hello friends. 

Have you seen the new Mermaid Stamp that the Fabulous Susan K Weckesser created???
The Spirit of a Mermaid.

I absolutely love this new set. I stamped the mermaid on a piece of 110 lb white cardstock and colored her using Copic markers. 

I cut the image out carefully using a pair of detailed scissors. I stamped the sentiment from the same set on a piece of white cardstock and colored it with the same color of Copic's I used on the mermaid.
I found this piece of pattern paper that matched it perfectly. I had to add some glitter so I did. 

This was just a fun to make. I am going to be using this stamp so much. Thank you for stopping by today and checking out my post. Have a wonderful day friends.

Grandma's Needlepoint Bookmark Tags

Hello friends. Larissa here with some cute bookmark tags I made using

Grandma's Needlepoint Stamp Set. 

I used some precut tags I had in my stash and stamped each of the images and sentiments on the different tags with Colorbox Color Pop Archival Dye Ink by Susan K Weckesser. 

I colored in each image using Prismacolor Pencils blending the color with OMS.

I kept the tags flat and didn't add a bunch of bulk since I would be using them as bookmarks. I left them clean and simple. I really love this stamp set. Reminds me of cards I use to get from my grandparents when I was growing up.

I hope you enjoyed my post today. Have a wonderful crafty day friends.
 

Going Wild

Hello friends. Larissa here today with a fun Going Wild card using one of Susan K Weckesser's newest stamp set Going Wild. 
 I started off with adding a little purple watercolor ink to a piece of plastic and smooshed it on a piece of 110 lb white cardstock. I made sure sine this was not watercolor paper to not add a lot of water. After I got the effect I wanted I used my brush and flicked off some of the paint onto the card to add the splatters all over.
I stamped the image on another piece of scrap paper and colored it using my Copic markers.
I then fussy cut it out with a pair of detailed scissors.

For the glasses I added a little Crystal Effects.

I wanted to keep the card simple so I only added the sentiment in the bottom corner and nothing else.

I hope you enjoyed my post today. Have a wonderful weekend friends. 

Home

Hello friends. Larissa here today and I have to say I am so happy to be back for another term with my friend. Susan is one of the sweetest people I know.

Today I created a card for you and used a few different stamp sets.

First off I took a piece of white cardstock I had cut to 5 1/4 x 5 1/4. I laid it in my MISIT and placed the stamps where I wanted them. I used Simon Says Stamp Black Intense ink to stamp them on the cardstock.

After stamping them on the cardstock I used a couple different mediums to color the images. 

First off I used Colorbox® Color Pop Premium Dye Ink By Susan K. Weckesser in Fresh and Ice I stamped the banner and then used them for watercoloring.

I then colored the images with Copic markers. Except for the Gnomes outfit I paper pieced with a piece of yellow polka dot pattern paper from Lawn Fawn. 

 And here is the final card.

Colorful Mixed Media Tag

Hello friends. Larissa here with you today. I have these big tags laying around and I have been trying to figure out what to do with them. Since I have been making things to decorate my planner I decided to do just that. I pulled out The Garden Whatnot Collection stamps.

I took five different Distress Ink colors: Mowed Lawn, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Tumbled Glass and sponged them all over the tag. I had no plan as to what color would go where I just filled in what I thought looked good at the time. :) 

Once I was done I heat set it just to make sure I didn't smudge it with my fingers as I was holding it down to stamp.

I used Black Onyx Versamark ink to stamp the images around the tag.

Once I was done I decided to place it in my planner with a planner clip I just made.

I just love the way the colors came out and the awesome stamps look on it. I decided to leave it alone after awhile. I thought first I need to add something to it but quickly decided against it.

I guess now everytime I flip open my April calendar I will think of Susan. :) 

Hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful day friends.

Create Your Day

Hello friends. Larissa here with a fun paintbrush project for you. I have had some used paint brushes sitting in a box for quite awhile now. Try to think of something to do with them.

Today I pulled one out and painted the handle with Chalk It Up Blood Orange Sorbet and the bristles with Chalk It Up Sugared Orchid paint from Earth Safe Finishes. While it was drying I pulled out three different Susan K Weckesser Stamp Sets. I am using stamps from:
Create Your Day,  Heart -Full Homes, and Tumbleweed Houses. 

I stamped the images on a piece of white cardstock and colored each with Copic Markers. I then cut each image out with a pair of scissors.

I used liquid adhesive to adhere the images to the paint brush.

I plan on hanging it on the wall in my new studio.

I hope you enjoyed my post today. Have a wonderful weekend friends.

Have a Crafty Day,

Larissa

Hello friends. Today I have a super fun creation for you. I created this door hanger using two of Susan K Weckesser newest stamps.

I used:

• Bunny Hugs Stamp Set 
• Heart-Full Homes
• Folkart Home Decor Chalk Pain in Savannah
• a wooden door hanger
• paint brushes
• Ribbon 
• Copic markers 

I painted 2 coats of paint on the door hanger. While it was drying I stamped all the images on a piece of white cardstock and colored them using my Copic markers.
I cut each image out using a pair of detail scissors.

I then adhered the images on the door hanger and attached a bow to the top. 

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

Have a wonderful day.

Valentines Love Card

Hello Friends. Larissa here!  Valentine's Day is coming soon. Do you make cards to send to friends and love ones? Here is a simple idea using Susan K Weckesser  A Little Bit Washi stamp set.

I started off stamping each stamp in a different shade of pink ink. I lined them up to see where I wanted each one and then would just stamp them on the cardstock. Because I thought it looked pretty plain I pulled out the Heartfelt Warmth stamp set and used the love stamp to stamp in the middle of the cardstock with the darkest ink.

To give the card a little more I added a few gold sequins and a little gold glitter heart. I hand wrote the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment across the bottom.

I matted the white cardstock onto a piece of hot pink cardstock and then onto a white card base.

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

Remember I used:

A Little Bit Washi

and Heartfelt Warmth

Have a wonderful day friends.

Muffins and Lace 

Bless Your Heart

Hello friends. Larissa here today with a card I made using Susan K Weckesser's new stamp set
                                                                       "Bunny Hugs".

I stamped the image using black ink. Then colored the bunny and little mushrooms using my PrismaColor Pencils blending with OMS. I cut each image out using a pair of detail scissors. 

I die cut an oval out of a piece of Susan K Weckesser Color Burst 12x12 scrapbook paper.

I used the little flower stamp from the What's Up Gnomey? stamp set and stamped it over the entire piece of white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers.

I matted the card front onto a piece of baby blue cardstock and then adhered it to a white cardbase.

To finish off the card front I added the sentiment and a bow to the top corner. 

I hope you enjoyed my post today. Now hop over to Unity Stamp Co and purchase this adorable new stamp set. 

Have a wonderful day friends.

Love Ya Bunches

Hello friends. Happy New Year. I wish everyone great blessing in 2016. Today I have started my Valentine cards. This set by Susan K Weckesser is a perfect set to use for Valentine's Day. 

This is Love Ya Whole Bunches. 

I think this set could be used for several holidays actually. 

I stamped the little girl on a tag. My original idea was to have a tag for a present. Once I was done with the tag I decided to add it to a card front.

I colored the little girl using Copic markers. Her dress is paper pieced with paper from Doodlebug Designs.
I used the leftover piece of pattern paper for the card front and a trimmed piece for the second piece of pattern paper. I just flipped it over.
Don't you love double sided paper. It always matches.

To finish off the card front I wrapped Valentine twine around the side of the card and tied a bow. Then I had to finish it off with a few sequins. Who doesn't love a few shiny sequins.

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you enjoyed my post.

Again Have a Blessed New Year friends.
