One Stamp set, Two projects

Today I have teamed up with Taniesa from TheCraftyPickle to showcase the use of a  CTMH stamp set Called "Lifting Spirits".  We each created a card using this set. 

For my project I created a Thank you card. I started with a 5x7 navy blue and white chevron print card.  I then stamped my chosen images onto watercolor paper and painted them.  I stamped a separate image of the balloon and a few clouds. Then I fussy cut them out and mounted them onto my already painted base with 3D foam squares.

We hope you enjoy our each of our projects. 

Happy Scrappin'

Welcome to another TCP blog hop!

Today our creative team will be sharing with you their take on a sketch created by our very own designer, Treasa!
This is the fantastic sketch she created for us:

 

 For My Project I decided to create a PL spread using the sketch.  

I created a mini layout for the largest pocket which is 6x12

I really like these insta pages from WRMK.  It allows for creating a mini layout and accenting with 8 3x3" pockets.

Our dog Tyson is a fun subject for creating layouts.  I really enjoy customizing layouts with my flair from TheCraftyPickle

February PL Swap cards

Today I am sharing with you some swap cards I created this month. I Create and swap Project Life style cards in a Facebook swap group, These are the themes I signed up for in February.

I created these cards for the Watercolor swap. I stamped my flower image and then used my H20 shimmer watercolors to paint them. I love these new paints. They are so vibrant and pretty, adding just a touch of shimmer to my project.  I just had to use them on my next two cards too.

Bumble Bee swap.  How cute is this little Bee?

Butterfly Swap.  I Love this CTMH Butterfly stamp. The bold outline is perfect for hand coloring. 

I my house we LOVE our dogs like family.  For this Dog swap I created a Valentine style card. I used my Sizzix to Dry emboss some pink shimmer paper then sanded off the paw prints.

Twinchies ( 2x2" cards ) are my favorite swaps.  I love the POW paper by AC, It is so sparkly without any glitter transfer.  The Simplify is a stamp by Technique Tuesday

Rolo Swap - Brush Script theme

I created this card for a Sick Day Swap.  These stamps are from Lawn Fawn. I used my Spectrum Noir color pencils to color in the images and then fussy cut them out.

Everyone loves Cupcakes Swap.  I had to make mine chocolate because when it comes to Cupcakes I will pick Chocolate everytime.

Lastly I created these cute little pinwheels for the Birthday Swap.  Pinwheels are really easy. You just cut a 2" square, cutting a 3/4" slit in each corner toward the center, then folding them toward the center and add a brad to hold the points in place. 

 Thanks for stopping by today 

Check back on Friday for my next post featured on TheCraftyPickle.
