Sprinkled With Love

Well it's mid week and I'm Felling pretty good :) It is cool out today and it is finally feeling like fall!

Today I am sharing two cards I made about a week ago using my PaperTrey Ink, Make It Market: Shakers and Sprinkles Kit. I just love that kit, it is so bright a cheerful and I love fun the cards you can make with it!!!

Here are the two most recent shaker cards I made:

The pink card is filled with supplies from the kit, the blue card is filled up with some chunky glitter I got at Michael's and some white sequins I purchased on ebay. On both cards I have added a tone of clear Wink of Stella to the sentiment for some extra sparkle!!

I have already given the blue shaker card away for my mother in laws birthday and the pink one is going out today. 

Thanks for Stopping by,

A Pretty Birthday Shaker Card

My niece's birthday was last weekend and I wanted to make her a pretty birthday card. I decided to pull out an old favourite Lawn Fawn stamp set Bake Me A Cake.
I have had some fun over the last couple of weeks making some shaker cards so I decided to make another one for Julianna.

I love how this card turned out!! I used my Silhouette to create the stitched frame and and filled it with some sequins and die cuts from a Papertrey Ink shaker card die.
I stamped the cake with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then coloured it in with my Spectrum Noir markers. I distressed the edge of the panel with some Worn Lipstick for a bit of a pop. I then added some glitter to the icing and some hearts to the front of the card :)

Fall Cards

Today I finished the last of my fall time cards. I have had fun creating these fall cards this year, for each card that I shared I made two of them to send off to different family and friends.
I have some of them in the mail already but I still have many more to fill out and send off which I am hoping to do tonight :)

Here is my YouTube video of my final card:



This week has been full of fall card making... I am a leader of a girls group in my church and this week we also made some fall/ Thanksgiving cards. Each girl made two cards, this way they could write letters for two special people in their lives and tell them how they were thankful for them.

Here are the "kits" I prepared for them:



The turkey, pumpkin, and speech bubble are all cut from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. The leaves are cut from the Doodle Charm and the Flower Shop cartridge. The pretty label was cut with a Papertrey Ink label die and finally the kraft paper was embossed with the Cuttlebug embossing folder Swiss Dots.

The stamped sentiments are from the Simon Says Stamp set Lots of Thanks and the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment is stamped with a My Pink Stamper stamp from the Happiest Moments stamp set.

One of the only non fall/Thanksgiving card I made this week was for my niece. I have been dying to make her a shaker card ever since I received my Papertrey Ink shaker kit and then Sparkle and Shine stamp set.



I feel like I am addicted to making shaker cards...lol I cannot begin express how much I love this kit, I have had so much fun creating all these shaker cards :)

Fall Time Fun

Happy October!! Time is just flying by, I cannot believe that that today is already October 6th and we are well into this new month.

I have been having a lot of fun over the last couple of week creating some fall time cards and this weekend I finally got some time to edit a video for a fall shaker card that I made almost two weeks ago. I filmed it while I was making it and haven't had the chance to edit it until Saturday morning and then I uploaded it to my YouTube channel, so I thought that I would share it here too:

I love how this card turned out and I'm happy that it's finally in the mail on it's way to it's recipient :)

This weekend was a lot of fun, Saturday was pretty quiet, my husband was at a memorial baseball tournament all day but Sunday was pretty busy.

After church we went to Costco for a quick shop and lunch where my husband picked up these beautiful flowers for me:

We then went apple picking and as we were driving out to the apple orchard it started to rain, so we were not there very long...lol

My youngest son I were there on Wednesday with his class and here he is with his apples from that day:



I hope you have a happy Monday!!!

A Cute Shaker Card and Some Star Wars Fun :)

TGIF...lol It was a beautiful day today but a busy one. Everyone was very tired here today which made for a long day full of crying boys... but it did end well so I am thankful for that :)

I had some time today in my craft room and I took the opportunity to clean it out and organize, which was long overdue!!! It has been my dumping ground over the last couple of weeks so I am very happy that everything is put away, de-cluttered and organized. I also made some time to craft ;)

After receiving all my goodies yesterday from Papertrey Ink I was dying to take them out and play, I am very happy that I was able to do that today.
I made a birthday card with my new Papertrey Ink Sparkle and Shine stamp set for the little girl who lives next door. Her favourite colours are pink and purple so I kept that in mind while creating her card. I also made her a little treat box from my Cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and More - in pink...of course...lol

I have really been enjoying my PTI Shaker kit and I was really happy to use it once again. I used the heart confetti plate to cut out the little hearts in pink and purple and I also used some of the hearts and glitter that was included in the kit.



Yesterday there was a book fair at my boy's school and they all bought some new books. Matthew chose the final book in the Paper Yoda series,  ART2-D2's and has been busy all day making paper Star Wars things.
He was excited to share what he made, he made the Storm Troopers helmet with a trooper inside. How cute and clever is that??? This series is so cute, such fun books!!!

It's so much fun watching Matthew create these fun little origami puppets, he is doing such a great job and he is having a lot of fun too :)

I hope you have fun Friday night.

Lots of Crafting!!! :)

Today was a quiet day for me at home. I took my moochy poochy hound dog out for two long walks and got lot of things done around the house and fit in some crafting time too!!!

I don't have much crafting to show you today, I recorded a video for YouTube that needs to be edited and posted. I made a video tutorial creating a another fall shaker card (the same as the one I posted on Sunday), so I will get that ready and posted over the next couple of days.
Here are the two finished shaker cards on a shelf above my kitchen sink waiting for me to fill them out and get them out into the mail...lol

I have crated a couple more backgrounds for upcoming YouTube videos but I thought that I would share them here today :)

The background on the right was created with some distress inks and the one on the right was make with my Inktense pencils. I love how they both turned out and I also love how different they both look!!

 I hope you have a great night :)

Falling Leaves Shaker Card

I love this time of year, all the beautiful colours, the crisp air (well not today, it was 24 with a humidex of 28!!!) and looking forward to all the wonderful things to come :)

After a lovely morning at church I had some time this afternoon at my craft table. I have been looking forward to crafting for fall and today was a lot of fun doing just that!!
Todays card is a fun shaker card:

I have been planning this card ever since I received the Papertrey Ink Shaker and Sprinkles kit back in August. I used the oval dies for this card and for the inside and background I have used the PTI falling leaves stamp set. The leaves inside the shaker are cut from the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge and inked up with Fire Brick red Distress ink.

I hope you have a lovely Sunday night :)
