I had such a great Saturday getting to know a few of my Fun Stamper Journey sisters.  We had a great kick off to RG Hits The Road!  So while the creative juices were flowing I sat down to make a few more cards.  It was my first time playing with both of these super cute stamp sets - Anything Is Possible (AT-0189) and Oops! (AT-0206) which is only available as a Bloom Benefit (FREE with any $50 order)

Catching Up!

I've been watching a lot of YouTube crafty videos lately and find myself trying new techniques and new products from different companies. My goal this year is to challenge my craftiness - try new techniques and make something I wouldn't normally do.  So...when I won some blog candy from a Stampin! Up demonstrator I decided to create some really cute cards with my new goodies.  I'm still working on incorporating new techniques.....it's a journey 😅

Here are a few cards I've made in the last few weeks using Hey Chick & Perfect Mix stamps sets.

I was inspired by the chicken - feeling a little farm girl...not sure why - totally a city chick!...anywhoo... I pulled out a great Fun Stampers Journey stamp set 4 Legged Friends and made two more super cute cards.

I've been MIA for a few months. Moving across county and getting settled into a new job had taken its toll!  But the Diva is back!! I have my craft studio set up and my mojo has found its way back!  I wanted to make a cute project for my new co-workers so I decided this cute milk carton was it - adorned with a cute mummy from Fun Stampers Journey and filled with a bunch of sweeties.

I also used this lovely stamp - Esmeralda Girl - from Unity Stamp Co. and watercolor with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to make a couple cards for some special girlfriends.  

Happy Memorial Day!  As a veteran, this day is very special for me as I remember those soldiers that lost their lives serving their country. 


I had a few moments this weekend to create a few new cards for the Can You Case It Challenge (CYCI#122).


 I just can't get over how dang cute these flamingoes are!  I used the FSJ Fun Filled Prints (PP-0024) and the Summer Fun Wood Pieces (AC-0214) to create this super cute Chill card - of course I had to add some bling with a Sparkle Drop (AC-0022) I wouldn't be the Diva if I didn't!!

How's a sparkly pool floaty - of course it would have sparkles!  I used a piece of patterned paper from the FSJ Fun Filled Prints (PP-0024) and the Don't Sink Stamp and Die (AT-0141 & DI-0167). Sparkle is from clear Wink of Stella (non-FSJ).

 

I've been gone for a few weeks - you know how it is when life gets in the way of crafting! A little overwhelmed by all of the craft "stuff" I've accumulated, I decided to use up some stash and use stamps and die cuts that have collected dust over the last few months.

 I have two fun cards to share the first uses a stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. - Queen of the Universe - I LOVE this sentiment - and the crown stamp is from Fun Stampers Journey - Crown Me (AT-0073)
















The next card uses the elegant die cut ornamental screen from Crafter's Companion (the Downton Abbey collection) and Fun Stampers Journey Cool Pool satin ribbon (AC-0143) and Happy Birthday stamp (Birthday Sketch SS-0013)


Enjoy your day and Trust The Journey!

I'm excited to show off a new stamp and die set "Too Cool" found in the Summer Fun Stampers Journey catalog (pg 26)!  This card is also my submission for the Can You Case It #118 blog challenge!  I love the fun versatility of this stamp set and can't wait to use this for cute summer and pool party projects!

The card base is pineapple smoothie with a piece of limeade splash cardstock and piece of design paper from Fun Filled Prints paper stack wrapped with a bright watermelon fusion ribbon.  I stamped the popsicles on a piece of watercolor paper and used my Zig Clean Color markers then topped it off with a stroke of clear Wink of Stella! A fun "You are TOO COOL" sentiment with a few candy mini dots finish off this yummy card!
