Whale, hello

Hi everyone! I’m popping in today to share two cards I created using Foam Front Shaker kits from Queen & Company.

Whale-Hello-500b

My first card uses the fun Waves Foam Front kit along with Huge Hugs and Surf & Turf (with coordinating dies) from Paper Smooches.

Whale-Hello-CU-500b

Before adhering the pre-cut foam to my card base, I adhered a block of blue patterned paper from Queen & Company’s Picture Perfect Mat Stack. I filled the openings with Pops and Fimo Fun, adhered the whale and fish (stamped onto Blending Card and colored with markers) then tied some pretty blue Sparkle String.

Hello-Sunshine-500b

Next I created a shiny Hello Sunshine card using a Polkas Foam Front Kit, Delightful Dots Mat StackPearlies Bright and Pastel Diamond toppings.

Hello-Sunshine-CU-500c

For even more sparkle and shine, I adhered three Iridescent Flowers and a bit of yellow Sparkle String. (Sentiment from Summer Lovin’ by  Paper Smooches.)

These shakers are seriously the most fun. And so easy. Another great thing about the Queen & Company kits is that refills are available! Have a fave kit? Pick up a few refills! It’s awesome.  🙂

Taylored Expressions August Previews Day 2 – Skulls, Candles and Cats, Oh My!

Hi everyone! I’m back today to share two more samples of Taylored Expressions‘ upcoming August 3rd release.

My first card uses new Sugar Skulls (with coordinating dies) as well as Simply Said Halloween and Skinny Mini Halloween Borders.

 

Taylored Expressions Sugar Skulls/Simply Said Halloween

These skulls crack me up. They’re kind of spooky and funny at the same time. 🙂 Along with the set comes a swirl, flower and the heart I lightly stamped in the background.

Copic markers – C1, C3, C4, C6, C7, E35, V12, V15, V17, Y21, YG03, YG06, YG17, YR16, YR19, YR23

The skulls were colored with markers, die-cut and adhered with the center skull raised on foam tape. The sentiment is from new Simply Said Halloween, and along the left, I adhered a border of new Skinny Mini bats.

Next, I used new Little Bits Candelabra and Cat to decorate a fireplace (die-cut using By the Fireside).

I added a Little Bits Spider & Web, with a sentiment from new Mum’s the Word stamp set. The tiny frame hanger was cut using an element from Sitting Pretty.

The patterned paper background is from Build a Scene Halloween paper pack. I thought it worked perfectly as (Halloween) wallpaper.
