4th of July

Hello Crafty Friends!!!!

I actually got my 4th of July cards made

way before the 4th of July.  

Whoot Whoot!!!

Making cards this year has

sure been a struggle.
I got this super cute Pure Innocence Girl

stamp by MFT called My Little Firecracker.

Isn't she a cutie?!?!?! I paper pieced 

her cute little dress. She is uber

Patriotic!!! I found these star sequins

at Jo Anns the other day and added 

them to the front. The speech bubble

die is by Lawn Fawn and the die cut base

is by MFT from the Blueprints #15.  

I am entering this into 3 challenges:

Marker Pop #71 ~ 4th of July

Wishing all a wonderful week!!!

Mermaid

Hello my Crafty Friends!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well and

being crafty!! I just love this 

Mermaid that is by The Greeting Farm!!

I just had to ink her up again and play!

If you could see this in real life it is 

sparkly looking! I made this really cool

looking ocean water background with 

my Tim Holtz mini distress pads. I sprayed

it with water that had some shimmer mist

mixed in with the water. I used Wink of Stella

clear glitter pen all over her starfish clips and

her tail.  I had bought these little beads at Hobby

Lobby a few weeks ago and thought they would 

go perfect in a shaker card looking like bubbles.

I didn't put a sentiment on the front as I didn't want

to cover up anymore of this cute underwater DP

by Adrienne Looman from the Ocean Melody collection.

It is a Birthday card though as the sentiment inside

is a Birthday one.

newsletter from The Greeting Farm. I 

don't know exactly what her name is so

I guess I will call her Mermaid Anya 2.

from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge for 

my layout.

coming up this month and we both

LOVE Mermaids!!! So it gave me

a chance to use this cute stamp by 

The Paper Nest Dolls called Pisces.

I also got to use some fun crafty

things on here I have been wanting to

play with.  I used my Sea Horse die

by Tim Holtz and embossed it

with a Sizzix dots embossing folder. 

I finally got to play with this Frantage

by Stampendous. I have seen lots 

of people use this stuff and wanted to 

play with it too.
