SHOPPING OUR STASH #417 - Under the Sun, Moon and Stars


Hello and welcome crafty friends!
We have a fun challenge starting today at
As the title suggests, we are looking for projects that have
the Sun, Moon, and Stars on them. Use one, two or all of them!
Here's what I came up with:


I used a couple stamps that I bought the beginning of last year, and only now
have inked up. (I know, the shame!)
To make the starry sky, I just smeared the lighter blue ink randomly around the stamp,
stamped using my MISTI (a stamping platform is a HUGE help if you want
to try this) re-stamping a couple times more, then, leaving the remaining ink on the
stamp (for reference), did the same using the darker blue. You can also go
back with the lighter blue again if you want. I stamped the tree line in black ink
a few times. In hindsight, I should have embossed that in black EP, but oh well.
Admittedly, the sentiment stamp is only a few months old (in my craft room) It's from 
a set of random sentiments that I heat embossed in white EP a couple weeks ago,
and I'm determined to use as many of them as possible. (Instead of, you know,
just adding them to the UFO pile) I also used some Star Dust Stickles to
randomly dot some of the stars.

I hope that you find some time (really now, we all have the time these days), to 
play along this fortnight at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see your
take on our challenge! For more ideas, do check out what my teammies
have created to inspire you! 
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Big Birthday Fishes

Hey all, just popping in with another quick card:



Here's the inside:

A very CAS card. I know, right?! Where are my beloved layers? LOL!
Sometimes I like to challenge myself with the occasional bare minimum card.
This is based off the current Freshly Made Sketch #421, the stenciled 
watery background being the square element of the sketch. (Just trying
to think outside the, er, box, so to speak) ☺
The dolphin and sentiment circle are popped up with foam squares,
and I added some liquid glass 'bubbles' to complete the look.

 Thanks for visiting, and I hope that you have a fabulous day!

I'm published!!!

Hi crafty friends!
I'm so excited to say that I've
been published for the first time!
SQUEEEEEE!!!!
My card is in the April issue of
Craft Stamper magazine in the Ready Set Stamp 
reader submissions feature!


It's based off of these colors and theme:


Here's my interpretation:


THERE IT IS!!!!!

The wellies are red and covered with Stickles (making it hard to see of course. LOL!)
IRL this card sparkles and shimmers with all the Stickles and Wink of Stella pen
on it. I just love it!

I want to thank Trish Latimer again for choosing my card for
the April issue. I am SOOOO amazed and beyond grateful!

Bloom & Grow

Hey, I'm back with my second post today.
This time I want to share an art journal page:


Lots of items used on this: Gesso, embossing paste, acrylic paints,
stamps, powder dyes, Stickles.
Here are a few process pictures. (Yep, I
actually remembered to take some this time! LOL!)

After a layer of Gesso, I used a stencil and embossing paste. Let dry.
Used a few different colors of blue acrylic paint. Went over
with gesso to soften edges some.
Stamped some texture with Staz On Jet Black ink.

close up

Using mixed media paper, I sprinkled powder dye and spritzed with water.
When dry, I stamped and fussy cut flowers, and die cut the leaves.

Die cut Bloom & Grow 3 times, stacked and glued. Added Stickles.
Adhered flowers and leaves with foam squares and added
Stickles onto the flowers. When the words were dry, I glued with matt medium.

One more look:

As always, my supply list is at the bottom of my post,
in case you wondered what all I used. ☺

It sounds as if I cranked this out within a couple hours, but this is me we
are talking about, folks. I played a bit on this for a few days before
I finally finished it yesterday. LOL!

That's all for now. I thank you for popping in!
Cheers!
