Rainbow Candles Clean and Simple Birthday Card

Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful day today! I am sharing a clean and simple Birthday card with you today, that I think would be great to give to just about anyone. I ended up giving this card to my Dad earlier this summer for his 70th Birthday! I couldn't resist using this stamp set for his card just to add this sentiment to it! I love the sentiments in this stamp set they all make me laugh!

Supplies used: 

The stamp set is "Birthday Borders" from Simon Says Stamp with coordinating dies, stamped in Versamark Onyx Black ink

I colored in the candles with Promarkers 

I die-cut 2 white panels from 80# Neenah Solar White cardstock with Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle dies one of them is inside the card to make it easier to write the message to the recipient

Mounting foam was used to adhere the candles and I used my ATG gun to adhere the panel onto a Bazzill Licorice Twist card base.  

Thank you for visiting with me today! 

Have a great day and happy crafting! 

Halloween Monster Treat Bag

Hello my friends!  Today I am sharing with you a fun Halloween Monster Bag that you can fill with all kinds of goodies or trinkets and give to your friends or family!  These are a lot of fun to make and I think they turn out quite cute!

 The Mini-Monsters cartridge was used to cut the bag. I used Bazzill Black Licorice and Marshmallow cardstocks, I think the stars paper is from Doodlebug but I don't remember- it was in my scrap stash.  I shaded the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and added some dark purple ribbon for a handle (you just can't see it very good in the picture). Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue was the adhesive for this project. Just add a bag of goodies and tie it with some purple tulle and you're done!

Thanks for visiting today! 

Happy Crafting!

B is for...(SSS Monday Challenge)

Today I am sharing a card I made for the Monday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp. The challenge was to make something inspired by the letter B. I chose to make a card with a Beautiful, Blue, Butterfly!  I also used this card for my card swap that I had last night.  

I stamped the butterfly in a light blue ink and used a Wink of Stella fine glitter dust pen to trace the butterfly. I wanted it to be a brighter blue and I love the glitter that come through in the pen. I used these pens for the sentiment also. I ended up handwriting my sentiment because I don't have a stamp in all of my stamps that says Beautiful.

Bazzill Marshmallow &  Classic Blue cardstock
