Bicycle for Me and My Cat

Toni here with a really simple (I swear) slider card.

First, I stamped and masked the Lawn Fawn Bicycle Built for You girl and her bicycle. I used the Scan n Cut to cut it out as a unit after I colored it up. I used Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6x6 paper for her dress, the leaves on the tree from the Leafy Tree Backdrop die and the hill. I LOVE plaid!  I cut the Simple Road Border die (top layer only) then diecut it again with the coordinating Slide on Over die to create the channel. See this post for a pic of another card using these sets in a similar manner. I decided to work up a little sunset/sunrise background using Distress Inks splattered with a bit of water. Now the fun part!

I glued down the plaid hill and tree. Then I glued down the slider road channel interior to the base of the card using the Simple Road diecut as a template. I added a thin strip of foam tape to both edges of the road before inserting the sliding mechanism and adhering it down. Oh! Don't forget to stamp that sentiment before you add the road! Trust me. I used a combo of sentiments from Lawn Fawn Bicycle Built for You and Jump for Joy to create mine. Finally I glued down the leaves and added the cat (as an afterthought).  I hope you'll give this type of card a try!

You are my Most favorite

Hi Tonya here letting you know that you still have time to join in on this month's challenge!  It's a super fun one for me as I have always loved maps.  I made this quick and masculine card to give my son.  I always tell him he is my favorite child and he replies "but mom I am your only child!"  He's 28 now and I still say it to him. 😀

I used a map page from the Sail Away Paper Pad and I stamped the sentiment with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink and then wanted it to have a little more dimension so heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I had planned on using the Neat & Tangled Hope Anchors the Soul stamp but grabbed the wrong stamp.  I hate it when I do that.  Too many ideas going around my brain plus a messy craft room = I get sidetracked and things get weird.  Still the card looks good so I'm going with it!  Can you tell I really need a vacation?



Did someone say VACATION?!!  I will be going on Spring Break soon and to celebrate The Heart Desires is having a sale while I am gone.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you will join our challenge you still have four more days to get crafty!

My project today uses those new Spring cups from Starbucks that come in some lovely colors.  I saw where several people were drawing on their cups and my drawing is... well lets just say I never got much farther than stick figures when drawing was involved.   So since I have lots of stamps I thought I would try those out on the cups and it worked!

I stamped the cup with a Simon Says Stamp sentiment stamp and Hero Arts Ombre Ink and I think it turned out great!  So great that I actually did two more cups that I will try to post this week.  I thought this was fun to do and pretty quick too!

I will probably use this cup about four times before I have to toss it.  I find they last longer if you don't put them in the microwave so if you want to reheat your drink I would put it in a glass cup to reheat.

I hope you all have a lot of fun hopping this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Greetings from Seattle

Hey, hey!  Katie here!  What can I tell you, I love the Pacific Northwest.  One big reason is that The Heart Desires store is here- yay!  But also because I love the water and the green trees and so much more.  

So today I have a card for you that embodies the PNW. 

I used this great textured background.  I used a background die for the sun.  I stamped and colored the boat and added the greeting.  Easy Peasy. 

This card features: 

We are Memory Keepers- Next Level Embossing Folder- Geometric

Hero Arts- Kelly Purkey Greetings from Seattle Stamp Set

This seems appropriate to enter into our current challenge don't you think?!   

Thanks for visiting the THD blog today!  Feel free to visit me at my blog. 

You're a Hoot

Hi everyone it's Lenae here from SugarGem. I wanted to make a little card for my grandma so I used this super cute Lawn Fawn set called Mom + Me. My grandma is probably one of best friends. I love her so much and always have fun with her. She's also really funny so this sentiment is perfect for her.

Other items I used Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Rectangle, Gina Marie Designs Stitched Hearts, Strathmore Bristol Paper, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, Ranger Mini Blending Ink Tool

Thank you for stopping by!
