My Sweet Petunia/The Rabbit Hole Designs Birthday Collaboration!

 Hello!  

Today is a fun day as I get to create along with the MISTI team and celebrate a birthday with The Rabbit Hole Designs team!  I remember how I used my birthday money for my very first MISTI and how it changed my stamping life!  I use the MISTI every time I stamp.  As a matter of fact, I usually have two going at the same time.  I place my image in one MISTI and then I use another for the sentiment.  Or sometimes I work on several different cards at once!  

Today we are celebrating The Rabbit Hole Designs Birthday Bash!  The Rabbit Hole has the cutest line of caffeinated stamps and dies, and much much more!  They have soft blending brushes, stencils, dies, everything you might need to make a pretty project. I have had an absolute blast celebrating The Rabbit Hole Designs 2nd Birthday!  A birthday bash needs gifts, don't you think?  Well, we have them!  Both My Sweet Petunia and The Rabbit Hole Designs are giving away a $50.00 Gift Voucher each!  Head on over to My Sweet Petunia and The Rabbit Hole Designs Blog for more details!

You can find all of the fabulous new items at the Rabbit Hole Designs store! 

So how about a birthday card to start us off?  I used the new Party Time Stencil for the background.  Next, I colored the super yummy Just Cake in a way that I would love IRL!  I can't stand fussy cutting so I used the handy Just Cake Die to cut out the cake and the little candles!  

Here is one of the things I love about the MISTI.  I placed the two candles on the platform lid and then I quickly repeat stamped them by moving the paper.  I don't use an acrylic block even for small things anymore because it's just easier to use the MISTI.

My second card is this darling bunny couple Je t'amie!  Aren't they adorable!  Cute animal images get me every time!  This is a fun set with the added hearts so they can be placed anywhere in the scene. The background was created with the lovely Open Heart Stencil.  

To keep things nice and straight I use the Cut-Align for almost every card.  I love this set of rulers!  I love the weight, all of the markings, and best of all that one side is a 0 center!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today and celebrating with me!

     

        

   

      

  

Celebrate the Everyday

Hello, everyone!  Today I am sharing a quick card I created for a friend. 

 One of my favorite things to do is check out the daily challenges at  Splitcoaststampers  so for this quick creation, I visited the color challenge, CC608.  Using the colors for inspiration, I painted Brushos Color Crystals on mixed media paper for the background and then the image was watercolored with TH distress inks. 

I love this fun image and sentiment from Unity Stamp Co., "Everyday Celebration".  What a wonderful reminder to celebrate every moment, every day!  I especially love using this sentiment since I am notoriously late on birthday cards!!!!!!!!  With this stamp kit, I can skip the "happy "belated birthday" greeting altogether!  

Thanks so very much for stopping by today!!!  Now go forth and celebrate the everyday!!!
