Under then Sea



 This week's challenge at FOSTV is to create an Under the Sea card. I had to be very creative with this challenge. I do not have any under the sea stamps. I decided to use the Sand Dollar Stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop. I made my background the ocean. I created my background using glossy cardstock, Kaleidacolor inkpad and a brayer. I then splattered Gold Silk from Fun Stampers Journey over the top.
       My supplies for this challenge are: Sand Dollars Stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop, Glossy cardstock, Fun Stampers Journey cardstock, Kaleidacolor Caribbean Sea Inkpad, Beach Ball Ink from Fun Stampers Journey, Blue Skies Sequins from Fun Stampers Journey, Gold Silk from Fun Stampers Journey, Spellbinder's Luscious Labels One and Labels One dies, and popdots.

Spring means FLOWERS



 Today's challenge at FOSTV is to use handmade flowers. I love flowers!! Especially now that Spring has arrived. My flowers are starting to peek thru the mulch in my garden. I love watch them grow. I can't wait to get my hands in my garden and clean out the old to make run for the new. Unfortunately we have snow falling right now. So my little ones will have to wait a few more days. I don't want to uncover them yet.

       My flowers for this challenge were created from a Spellbinder's die called "Bitty Blossoms". I used the Stamp set called "Gardenia" from MFP Stamp Shop. I thought the sentiment was perfect for my flowers. I also used Spellbinder's Card Creator die "Floral Ribbon Threader. My cardstock and ink is from Fun Stampers Journey. My sequin is also from Fun Stampers Journey.

What's in a number???

 
Today's challenge for FOSTV is to create a card using numbers. This is a perfect challenge for me today. I hit the milestone this year and have many friends to follow me. So why not make a fun card to commemorate us. I chose to use Buffalo Spring Stamp set from
MFP Stamp Shop. I added a little color to my card, since purple is my favorite. I used an easel fold for this easy whimsical card. Now it's time for me to forget my milestone It's 39 FOREVER for me LOL!!

        My supplies are: Buffalo Spring Stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop, Fun Stampers Journey patterned paper and cardstock, Fun Stampers Journey black twine and buttons, River Stone ink form Fun Stampers Journey, Spellbinder's Ornate die, popdots, and my Silhouette Cameo for the number.

St Patty's Day Pocket





 Today's card is to celebrate St Patty's day. This is a very special day for me. Not only am I Irish but I was also born on ST Patrick's Day. This year is extra special because I turn 50!! I can not believe it myself, so I don't mention. I mentally have not prepared for it, so I really am not 50. Yes it is my birthday but there is no number associated with it.
     For this day, I wanted to create something special. I started playing around with stuff and this is what I can up with.
     All supplies are Fun Stampers Journey. (except corner rounder and distresser)
They can be found here.
             Happy Kreating and Happy St Patty's Day!!!

Hoppy Easter



This week's challenge is to create an Easter Card at FOSTV. What comes to mind for me is the Easter Bunny. When my kids were little, we always hid the Easter eggs. To this day, we still color eggs, even though the boys are 20,17,and 15. I set their baskets out in the middle of the night to surprise them. You never get tried of doing that. This card reminds me of the fun times.

          My supplies are: "Hoppy Easter" stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop, Cryogen White cardstock, Fun Stampers Journey cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Copic markers, Fun Stampers Journey Oval die, Spellbinders On the Edge Dies, and popdots.
