SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks - Day 5

Happy Friday & hello weekend!
 I have had a blast sugar shakin' with the gals at SugarPea Designs this week, and I hope you've enjoyed all of my Sweet Sneaks as well. Today is the final day of Sweet Sneaks and I've got a really fun card to share with you featuring a stamped sentiment from Take Note and lots of die cuts from Sugar Cuts - Notebook Journal Card, so let's get to it!

This card just makes me happy, and I'm hoping it's doing the same for you! I started with an A2 card base and layered it up using the second largest of the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles  (love that edge). From there, I die cut a center circle from said layer using one of the Zig Zag Stitched Circles and then started adding a little color. OK, a whole lotta color!

These pencils make me 'almost' want to go back to work next month. I'm so in love with the SugarCuts - Notebook Journal Card dies, and you will be too - just take a looky down below at the graphic! I have so many ideas swirling around in my head for these dies, so I'm sure you'll see more crushin' on it before too long. Ok, back to business. I simply die cut my rainbow of pencils and then die cut the pencil tip from Kraft cardstock, but...I snipped off the end of each tip so my pencil color would show through all matchy-matchy. Cool, huh?

Finally, I die cut the word 'notes' from white cardstock and left the letters intact so that I could color them up with Copic markers, overlapping each marker color to create that beautiful rainbow you see. Can you tell I had a little bit of fun with this one?! Oh, and the sentiment from Take Note (how totes-adorbs is that set) can be yours FREE with a $60 purchase at SugarPea Designs!

SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks - Day 4

Hi and welcome to Sweet Sneaks Day 4 with SugarPea Designs. I'm having so much fun with these new stamps and dies and really appreciate all of your sweet comments! Today's Sweet Sneak is called Un-Frogettable, and it totally reminds me of snips and snails and puppy dog tails, that what little boys are made of', adorable!

I opted to use one of the smaller images from Un-Frogettable as my focal image;  as I said yesterday, I'm a sucker for anything nautical and fell in love with this sweet little sailboat. I used the Zig Zag Stitched Circles to create an opening and then again to stamp and watercolor my trio of boats. I simply scribbled color from various Zig Clean Color Markers onto my die cut circle after I'd embossed the boats in white and then smooshed the colors together using an aqua brush. 

I made my shaker pouch a bit differently using my fuse tool so that the sequins and beads would shake all around the sailboat layer rather than all settling at the bottom. Please ask questions if my directions aren't clear:

• Create a circle pouch using the largest Zig Zag Stitched Circles die and fuse the edges except for a portion where you'll add sequins and beads.
• Before adding sequins and beads, fuse a small circle in the center (this part is hidden by the sailboat layer) to create a donut-like pouch. Note: make your center fused circle small enough so that the sequins and beads still have room to move around the donut freely.
• Fill your shaker, gently pushing the sequins and beads around the entire circle (I used the end of a small watercolor brush) and then fuse the pouch closed at the fill opening.
• Adhere the donut shaker pouch to the inside of the card and layer the sailboat layer on top. I also layered another die cut circle on the back side of the shaker pouch for a more finished look. 

One last note about the sentiment strip - in stretching my stamps, I again used the gift ribbon/bow stamp from Tons of Fun to create the diagonal striped background and then stamped the sentiment on top.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks - Day 3

Welcome to day 3 of Sweet Sneaks with the gang at SugarPea Designs! If you visit here often you probably know I have a bit of an affection for anything nautical, especially anchors. Today's featured set, Anchored, has a sweet little anchor stamp which I've used as the focal point on today's card. Be sure to take a peek at the entire set below because there's much, much more to love! 

I used the largest Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles dies to trim the watercolor background panel and again for the small rectangular opening. The watercolor background was created using Ranger Distress Inks, water and paintbrush.

The sentiment and anchor are both embossed in gold with a length of ivory cord intertwined between the two with a trio of enamel dots finalizing the embellishments.
