Happy Easter Card!!

Hey , Bloggy Peeps
I hope you all had an amazing Easter or Passover. I had lots of fun hanging out with my sister and watching the season finale of ( The Walking Dead). I was really hoping Andrea wouldn't get killed off since in the original comic book series she was lived through all this stuff ( but she did kinda put herself in harms way)..Ok enough ( Walking Dead) rants from me! ( LOL) I recently posted a new tutorial for this lovely card you will find below and I hope ya'll enjoy it, if you haven't already checked it out! I have a mini Easter haul I'm gonna be posting by tomorrow which should have gone up on Easter really but I've been super busy with finales this semesters so I tend to be running around like a chicken with her head cut off.. Feel free to ask me any questions though all the supplies used, I do show in my video..Thanks For stopping By!
I'm so happy I finally got to use this TGF set because it feels pretty hoarder like to have a stamp set you have never even inked up..I hope I'm not alone in this! hehe

DIY Handmade Eraser Stamps

Hey Bloggy friends!
Over the weekend I saw a picture that inspired me to want to try making my own eraser stamps. What are eraser stamp you ask? Well there exactly what they sound like ( Literally a stamp made from eraser that you crave yourself) there are different kinds of eraser stamps ( some are simple, other are very detailed and intricate and everywhere in between). For my very first eraser stamp I thought I'd keep it simple and see how I like the results.
This is the Pinterest picture that inspired me to make my own eraser stamps! If you have a Pinterest be sure to go follow my craft boards it's really fun to just get inspired there ( My Pinterest button is on the sidebar) be sure to share your craft boards with me as well! 

I carved these pencils with a sharp blade and decided on an chevron arrow and tri-angle as the shapes. I used a pen to draw the shapes onto the erasers before I cut, the marks served as a cutting guide. Once I finished cutting,I then inked my stamps with a kaleidoscope ink pad to create fun designs in bright colors.
For the paper on the left I created, what I call a " Circus Banner" design which I intend to use for a YT Card tutorial really soon. The chevron arrow design I really love and can totally see using in the future for multiple application such as project life, mini albums and card backgrounds. I'm thinking of  sneaking some of my handmade stamps into future designs and see if anyone you notice? ( I'm in the mood to be sneaky bwahahah) Anyways it was a lot of fun to make my own handmade stamps and try something totally new and maybe I inspired you to make your own.

Hey Bloggy Friends!
I'm super excited to share this card with you guys because I think it came out so stink'in cute! I love those little penguins ( Loved dressing them up) from this Some Odd Girl set called winter friends.

For the inside I kept it simple and just added some ribbon.
I hope you guys love this card as much as I loved making it! Thanks so much for stopping by my corner of the bloggy-sphere. :-P  


Products Used:
Inks: Memento (Tuxedo black,London fog, Bahama Blue) Distress inks (Iced Spruce ,Evergreen Bough)( Stamps: Winter friends, Critters in the snow). Cardstock ( Neenah Solar white, American craft)

Say Cheeze

Hey, Friends!
Today is just a quick post to share the card I made for the Challenge over at The Stamp Spot. I've been going a little greeting farm crazy lately ( Cheeky Anya) was one of my first cling mount stamps and lately I've been blessed to get a few retired sets I wanted forever. For this card I took out my 6x6 Amy Tangerine paper pad and played with the patterns. The camera embellie is from the same AT collection but I added some black enamel accents to give it more dimension. 
The strips of paper behind the camera is actually the top part of the paper pad, that normally gets thrown away and I  decided to re-use it ( Much like I do a lot of things lol) and backed it with some yellow American crafts cardstock to really make it pop. 
The actual Polaroid around Miss GF Odetta is from Stamping Bella. I created the background with my copic markers and Odetta is also colored with Copic's. 
(Inside of Card)
 On the inside I used the same AT paper and used my spellbinder circles die to create a writing space.I added a bit of twine on the inside wrapped around the banner.

Thanks for stopping by! Crafty Hugs

"Some Odd Girl" Guest Designer for November and December

Hellooooo!!!! I'm so excited to say that Some Odd girl is having another "Design Team" call which is great for those of us that didn't get a chance to apply to the last one ( I was bummed). Besides the design team call there also looking for guest designer for November and December and getting chosen for either one be soo amazing, I would (no lie) feel like (Sofia Rose from the Ellen show the moment she got to meet Nikki Minja on stage) in case you haven't seen this I'm providing a clip! :-)
Basically I really feel I'd make a great guest designer because I really love my Some Odd girl stamps so I'd be thrilled if I was chosen, I really love to utilize all the elements of the stamp sets  in many different ways and I feel like I could really inspire fellow Oddies with my unique designs and the creative ways I use them in my cards. Below you will find three examples of the cards I've made using my Some odd girl stamps!
                 I hope you like my cards and thank you so much for this amazing opportunity!
