G'day Mate - Time for a hike!

Greetings fellow crafters, Maria here from Joyful Stamper.

I have a fun masculine card to share with you today.

I created this as a Thank you card for our next

Ranger-led educational hike.  

I thought Joy's Lots of Puns, G'day Mate stamp

along with this fun background & footsteps

would bring a smile.

For all my project details,

visit me @ Joyful Stamper!

Blessings!

Bright and Happy Birthday card!

It's Megan, back again with a very bright and cheery birthday card. When I saw this stamp I knew I wanted to do something with masking, but I was a little afraid. I am fairly new to stamping and masking is something I haven't done a lot of. So, the first couple of times that I used this stamp, I just used it as is. Finally, I had to give it a try with the masking though. 

I am not going to lie and say this was an easy stamp to mask. The 'wishing you' part is kind of connected to the circle that I wanted to mask out. I stamped on a scrap paper, then carefully cut out the circle. For the black words, I inked the stamp in black and then rubbed as much of the ink as I could off of the circle with a tissue, before fitting the cut-out circle over it. I figured by putting the mask right on the stamp, I would have a better chance of getting perfect placement. The ink that was left on the circle made the scrap stick. Then I positioned the hole in the scrap paper over that stamp and re-stamped in bright pink.

The stamp is from the Tag You're It ONE set. 

It's not perfect, but I love the effect so I played it up with some teal and pink. See my blog for more details.

A Treat For You...

Hi everyone...It's me Julie (Cricut Chick)

This week we are all supposed to create

something Sticky and Sweet....Mmmmm...Mmmmm!

I don't know about you but I couldn't wait for this

Take a look at my project...

Now that's what I call "Lovin' from the Oven"  LOL!

This sentiment was perfect too...

It's from one of Joy's newest stamp sets

called "Sweet Popsicle Puns"

stamp sets HERE!

Mother's Day Vase filled with coffee filter flowers

It's Megan here again with another Mother's Day gift! This week we were asked to make something using flowers for Mother's Day. I went the whole way with it and made a gift of flowers for mother's day! My daughter and I had a great time making these coffee filter flowers that I found a tutorial for on pinterest. All you need is some coffee filters, food coloring, wire and tape. Even my 6 year old could do it!

I found this triangle shaped vase at Goodwill and altered it using some My Little Shoebox papers and of course Joy's Life stamps! The coffee filters flowers didn't turn out as bright as they look here. I had to tweak the color of the photos a little bit and wanted the altered vase to look just right, so the color of the flowers is a little bit off.

here is the side that my daughter designed. I let her choose the paper, then I cut it to fit. I also cut out the frame details that she wanted from the papers. This way she got to create it, but it still all matches. She arranged the elements.

Here is a side view that shows two of the panels at the same time

and here is an up-close of the two Joy's Life stamps that I used. This one is from the Holiday Occasions set.

And this one is from the Tag You're It TWO set.
