Love You To The Moon & Back Layout

Hello Everyone - thanks for stopping by my blog today.
I am packing up for a scrapbooking weekend away but before I load up my car I have a layout to share with you today.

This layout features Stamps from Fleurette Bloom.

Here is my layout:

First I did a print and cut of the moon from the Fleurette Bloom’s

Sun Moon & Stars Digi Die cuts & Digi Stamps

I then colored the moon using Copic Markers.

I cut the title on my Cameo. Font is called MoonLight (how appropriate is that?)

I cut the SVGs from the Digi Die Cuts and stamped with Fleurette Bloom’s

Sun Moon & Stars Clear Photopolymer Stamps

I added some gems and my photos on to the background patterned papers.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my layout.

Don’t forget to stop by the Fleurette Bloom Store.

Stop back again - I'll have plenty to more to share after my crafty weekend away!

You Are My Sunshine Card

Hello Everyone! I have a fun project to share as we get ready for a long Labor Day Weekend!

Fleurette Bloom recently released AMAZING

While I was waiting for them to come in the mail I created a card with the

Digi Die Cuts & Digi Stamps

Here is the card I created:

The card base is from the 

Hooked On Fishing 3D SVG Kit

Thought I would share all the different techniques I did with with the digi die cuts & digi stamps:

Split Negative Challenge - JUGS

When I saw the challenge for JUGS (Just Us Girls) I knew I wanted to jump in on this one. I created this wall hanging for a friend of mine. She is expecting her first baby.


This is a split negative technique I used.



Here are the details:

Step 1 - I stamped one side of the butterfly swirlies. Black on white paper.


Step 2 - Scanned in and took into Photoshop. Under Image-Adjustment-Curves I dragged the points to opposite corners to create the look of white stamps on black paper. I then Flipped the Canvas Horizontal of the initial scan to get the mirror image. Printed both out.



Step 3 - Created the butterfly image and cut out of chipboard (cereal box) on the Cricut. Mounted the printouts to this and inked the edges.



Step 4 - Since I already had the stamped images digitally I placed those in Illustrator and created the cutouts around the stamped areas using the pen tool.



Step 5 - I cut the plain black and white paper using the butterfly with the cutouts and also cut a chipboard version. I spray glued the white and black paper to the chipboard for the top layer. Inked the edges.


Step 6 - I added some dimensional tape to the back of the top layer and applied to the bottom layer. Added the center of the butterfly.

Step 7 - Added embellishments from Creative Charms and a ribbon to hang it. I hand wrote a special note on the back using a white pen.





Please send me an email or leave a comment if you'd like more details. My tutorial is just the basics but hope it helps. It really was a fun project and I'm sure I'll be using this technique again!

Artist Owl Card

I created this card for a 10 year old girl named Delia. She lives in Colorado and is undergoing treatment for leukemia. If you are interested in sending her a card visit Dustin Pike's site for some free digis and all the info.

She loves owls and art so hopefully this little guy will brighten her day a bit.
I included a quote about art and inside told her about how art has touched my life.



I discovered a cool site to get quotes, check it out here.

Sketch Challenge - Doodle Dragon Studios

I am loving the digi stamps, especially Dustin Pike's! They are having a sketch challenge on the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my card:

I used Prismacolor pencils to color the digital image. The papers are TPC (The Paper Company) Studio. The cool frame around the digi stamps is from SVG Cuts - My Moms Attic Collection. I added small dots to the SVG around the edge, cut on the Cricut using SCAL and hand stitched in three different colors. I used embellishments from Creative Charms.

Here is a close up:


Thanks for taking a look!
