For my first card, I used the new Lisa Glanz "Hoppy and Hedgie" set. These critters are so cute, don't you think? I colored them with Copic markers, then it's time to ink up the background using some Tim Holtz distress oxide ink [tumbled glass] and blended it with my makeup blending brush.

Then, it's time to add some foil to the balloons WITHOUT using a laminator. I used my favorite Thermoweb decofoil [rainbow shattered glass, sparkling silver] and with my Zig 2 way glue pen. Just apply the adhesive, let it dry for a few seconds before you apply the foil.

Since it's birthday week, OF COZ there will be a cute birthday stamp :)

Here is the brand new Unity Stamp "Happy Birthday to you", which I colored with some pastel rainbow Copic markers. 

To create this very easy slider card, I cut the slit using the Lawn Fawn Slide on Over die, applied some foam tape to a coin and it's that easy! :)

For my next card, I used the Unity Stamp "Grow and Change" and colored her and the flowers with Copic markers. Then I wanted to do some partial embossing using Unity Stamp Brutus Monroe "Sweadda Weadda". Love how "festive" stamps can also be used on non-holiday cards :) 

I first masked my card using Thermoweb purple tape, then embossed the stamp with Versamark embossing ink and some clear embossing powder. Then it's time to ink it up! I used Tim Holtz distress oxide inks [cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, wilted violet] and a makeup blending brush.

For my next card, I wanted to give Unity Stamp "Pretty Girl Smile" a spotlight effect to just focus on her. So I created the spotlight with Thermoweb purple tape and lots of yummy Tim Holtz distress oxide inks [squeezed lemonade, weathered wood, iced spruce, hickory smoke, black soot]. I also stamped the sides using Unity Stamp "Just a little clicky". It's an oldie but goodie stamp :)

And since Mother's Day is almost here, this new Unity Stamp "Best part of me" is just perfect for the day. I colored it with Copic markers then created an easy shaker card using a rectangle Kat Scrappiness nesting die, laminate, foam tape and lots of beautiful Unity Stamp sequins.

Hope you enjoyed the cards and videos.

Mothers are so special -- so it's never to late to give a card to your mom!

Here's another card I made for a special mother.

I used some Webster's Pages papers for the card. The sentiment is from Miss Kate Cuttables and I added some doilies/flowers for that dainty look.

Spend time with your loved ones this weekend and have a wonderful day! :)

Happy Saturday!

Mother's Day is just a few weeks away and so, I've made some Mother's Day cards for our mothers.

Scrap-n-Crop.com April 2015 Mother's Day kit is perfect for this occasion!

I used the journaling cards, washi tape and the American Crafts rubons which they all go so well together, don't you think?

Here are both of the cards that I made!

I also added some bling coz Mothers do love blings right? :)

Can you spot the rubons? :)

There is just SO MUCH in the kit you could make plenty with it. I absoultely adore the patterns and colors in this kit.

I also found some vintage patterned papers (from my own stash) to make some envelopes which I find was perfect for Mother's Day.

Now that I'm done with Mother's Day, should I start making Father's Day cards too? :)
