Get Well Soon

I love the new Get Well Soon collection from Nikki Sivils. Perfect for those projects that are sometimes difficult to create. With the little germs, band-aids and medicine jars, this collection is super sweet and will cheer anyone up for sure.

Today I'm sharing with you a few cards I created using the Get Well Soon collection. First off a really layered card filled with sweet images. I added a good "healthy" helping of Stickles to the card and the images really popped. These Punch Outs are new for Nikki Sivils, and I love love love them!!! I added a few of the punch outs with some fussy cut images and this is what I came up with.

Next, a very simple card using the same Get Well Soon collection. I don't do simple often, but sometime it works for me. I absolutely adore the striped paper in this collection. So darn versatile and colorful. The perfect medicine for those Mojolostitis moments. Again, I added a little dollop of Stickles to the Lollipop for texture.

All of the elements of both cards were put together using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, Helmar Premium Craft Glue and Helmar Zapdots. I love using the 450 Quick Dry on ribbons, metals and buttons. YUMMO!!!!

Well that is all for me today. I'll be back real soon with some projects to share. Hope you are all having a great week. Until next time

Fall is in the Air

I love Maple Leaves! Maybe it is the Canadian in me, but those colors as fall comes into play, are truly breathtaking. Every autumn color can be found on that one special leaf. I'm here today to share with you a fall card I created using the beautiful Bold Maple Leaf stamp from I Brake for Stamps.

This image is absolutely stunning and perfect for both feature images and backgrounds on projects. The card has both of those and I hope that you can truly appreciate the beautiful image this stamp creates. I paired this beauty up with some sweet Nikki Sivils papers and my favorite Helmar Adhesives.

First off I used Versamark and a little glitter to create the background. Then I stamped the Bold Maple Leaf 3 times on different paper and used some wonderful embossing powder  from Sparkle N Sprinkle to create these autumn leaves. After they were heat embossed, I fussy cut them and using Helmar Liquid Scrapdots, created a wonderful dimensional pile of leaves.

I think this stamp is my favorite so far. The versatility is simply AMAZING!!!! Here is a close up shot of the leaves themselves. I hope you can see the amazing detail the Bold Maple Leaf stamp creates when you emboss it.

Try you hand at some of the amazing bold images at I Brake for Stamps. There are so many to choose from and with Autumn right around the corner, make sure you look at the Fall and Halloween stamps too.
