Have a bubbly day

 Hi,

I have a quick share today.  It's someone's birthday soon and I made this card for him.  

Background paper from Lawn Fawn Bitsy Bloom Collection, die cut using Waffle Flower A2 Lacy Layers Die.  The bubble tea images from Lawn Fawn Year Fifteen bundle are stamped and stenciled with various distress inks and then die cut.  "HBD" die cut using Sizzix Thinlits (666281) on Spellbinders Colorwheel cardstock in Beewax.

The fun part of this card is that the yellow bubble tea is mounted with Spellbinders Card Spinner so one could spin it round and round.

Challenges:

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #227 - Fun With Food

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Stamp It

Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes Week #768-769

Thanks for stopping by, have a bubbly day!

Enjoy the little things

 Hello there,

It's my turn to share another Anything Goes project on Die Cut Divas Challenge blog. 

To create this card, I first stenciled the clouds with Distress Ink Tumbled Glass on a white card base.  Next I die cut the flowers using Simon Says Stamp Poised Primula Wafer Thin Die with white card stock and applied various distress inks including: Barn Door, Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, and Wild honey.  I then die the leaves and stems with Spellbinders Peridot and Rainforest color card stock.  For the grass I die cut using Lawn Fawn Meadow Border Lawn Cut with some lime green card stock (source unknown).

I dry fitted all the pieces to the way I like and then glueed down.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Lovely Spring Clear stamp set (retired) with Distress Ink Forest Moss, hand cut and adhere to card.   Lastly I applied Nuvo Glitter Drop Gold Coast to the flower centers.

Our June challenge theme is: Anything Goes:

This month at Die Cut Divas, there is no official sponsor, but there is a challenge prize - $25 gift card to Whimsy Stamp donated by the design team.  

Now it's your turn, grab your favorite supplies and come join in the fun!  Just make sure you use die cuts and/or dry embossing in your creation process.  I'll see you in the challenge gallery. 

Happy crafting!

I am linking this card to:

A Little Sparkle

 Hi,

A quick share today.

I used the Lawn Fawn A Little Sparkle stamp and matching Lawn Cuts.  The cloud stencil is sort of a DIY item.  I used the cloud die from Spellbinders Hummingbird and Lily and a piece of semi-transparent plastic packaging and die cut my own mask/stencil.

And to keep up with my 2024 New Year Craft resolution, I made a matching envelope for it.

Supplies used shown in photos below:

I hope your day sparkles!

Scrapbook Centrale Creative Team Project 2024-Feb-16

 Hey there,

Welcome back to my blog.  Today I share a set of ATCs on Creations Scrapbook Centrale FB group.  These will be exchanged with my Scrapbook Centrale craft buddies, they sure do mean 'so mochi' to me.

These are perfect for our February's challenge theme:  Valentine/Friendship, and the color Red/Pink.

I just love the word play from this cute Lawn Fawn stamp set.  For those who are not familiar with Mochi, here's a couple of short descriptions (from Wikipedia).  Both the Chinese and the Japanese make them.

*****

"Lo mai chi (Chinese: 糯米糍), known in Mandarin as nuomici, is a type of Chinese pastry. It is one of the most standard pastries in Hong Kong. It can also be found in most Chinatown bakery shops overseas. It is also referred to as glutinous rice dumpling. Today there are many different modern variations such as green tea flavor, mango flavor, etc.

The glutinous rice ball can be dusted with dried coconut on the outside. The outer layer is made of a rice flour dough and the inside is typically filled with a sweet filling. The most common fillings are sugar with coconut and crumbled peanuts, red bean paste, and black sesame seed paste."

*****

"Mochi, is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice, and sometimes other ingredients such as water, sugar, and cornstarch. The steamed rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan, it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki."

Here's the craft supplies I used to create these ATCs:

The background pattern paper is from the Lawn Fawn "What's Sewing On" paper collection pack.

Thanks for visiting.  Happy crafting!!
