I've been MIA for a few months. Moving across county and getting settled into a new job had taken its toll!  But the Diva is back!! I have my craft studio set up and my mojo has found its way back!  I wanted to make a cute project for my new co-workers so I decided this cute milk carton was it - adorned with a cute mummy from Fun Stampers Journey and filled with a bunch of sweeties.


I also used this lovely stamp - Esmeralda Girl - from Unity Stamp Co. and watercolor with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to make a couple cards for some special girlfriends.

Happy Memorial Day!  As a veteran, this day is very special for me as I remember those soldiers that lost their lives serving their country. 


I had a few moments this weekend to create a few new cards for the Can You Case It Challenge (CYCI#122).


 I just can't get over how dang cute these flamingoes are!  I used the FSJ Fun Filled Prints (PP-0024) and the Summer Fun Wood Pieces (AC-0214) to create this super cute Chill card - of course I had to add some bling with a Sparkle Drop (AC-0022) I wouldn't be the Diva if I didn't!!


How's a sparkly pool floaty - of course it would have sparkles!  I used a piece of patterned paper from the FSJ Fun Filled Prints (PP-0024) and the Don't Sink Stamp and Die (AT-0141 & DI-0167). Sparkle is from clear Wink of Stella (non-FSJ).

I've been gone for a few weeks - you know how it is when life gets in the way of crafting! A little overwhelmed by all of the craft "stuff" I've accumulated, I decided to use up some stash and use stamps and die cuts that have collected dust over the last few months.


 I have two fun cards to share the first uses a stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. - Queen of the Universe - I LOVE this sentiment - and the crown stamp is from Fun Stampers Journey - Crown Me (AT-0073)
















The next card uses the elegant die cut ornamental screen from Crafter's Companion (the Downton Abbey collection) and Fun Stampers Journey Cool Pool satin ribbon (AC-0143) and Happy Birthday stamp (Birthday Sketch SS-0013)


Enjoy your day and Trust The Journey!

http://canyoucaseit.com/I'm excited to show off a new stamp and die set "Too Cool" found in the Summer Fun Stampers Journey catalog (pg 26)!  This card is also my submission for the Can You Case It #118 blog challenge!  I love the fun versatility of this stamp set and can't wait to use this for cute summer and pool party projects!


The card base is pineapple smoothie with a piece of limeade splash cardstock and piece of design paper from Fun Filled Prints paper stack wrapped with a bright watermelon fusion ribbon.  I stamped the popsicles on a piece of watercolor paper and used my Zig Clean Color markers then topped it off with a stroke of clear Wink of Stella! A fun "You are TOO COOL" sentiment with a few candy mini dots finish off this yummy card!

I absolutely love this stamp!  I made this for my aunt & uncle who have a "thing" for bovine - not sure what the attraction is..but my uncle even dresses up in a cow costume at Halloween (he kinda looks like this too!)  I used a base card of Oatmeal Cookie with a layer of Whip Cream and Black Licorice cardstock.  I stamped the image onto Whip Cream cardstock with clear pigment ink and heat embossed using Journey Black powder.  I colored in the ears an utter with a light pink marker and applied Journey Glaze on the utter...makes it a focal point (LOL).  I wrapped it in some Journey twine and adhered it using foam squares.  Just a cute and funny thank you card - Imagine this with a nice cookie treat bag!

We are Hoppin!

Welcome to the Journey Blog Hop featuring Fun Stampers Journey products & inspiration! We used
only the items that came in our new Customized Blooming Grand Starter Kit!  This customizable  Kit, includes everything you need to host your first Make It Party with the flexibility to show off your personal crafting style.


If you arrived from Ruth Cooper's blog - you're on the right track! If not just keep hopping to see the wonderful artwork!


I Customized my Blooming Grand Starter Kit with the Birthday Sketch and the Greet & Shout stamp sets as well as the Butterfly Prints Bundle and 3 ink pads!  The starter kit came with tons of fantastic products that allowed me to begin creating awesome cards and projects right away!

I have created a card using the Birthday Sketch and the Happy Birthday sentiment from Greet & Shout set.  I used a few color pencils from my personal stash to color the balloons and added Journey Glaze to make them shine, then fussy cut them out and popped them up using Journey Foam Squares onto Whipped Cream Cardstock that I lightly sponged with Cool Pool ink. Finished it off with a wrap of Journey Twine with a simple bow! 



Don't forget to add a little "something" to the inside of the card too!











The goodie bag is made out of Watermelon Fusion Cardstock and then stamped with Watermelon Fusion ink to give a tone-on-tone effect then die cut a cute butterfly so that the recipient can see the yummy treats! I then stamped two other butterfly's using Watermelon Fusion ink and added Journey Glaze and sprinkled with Journey Sparkle Dust. 

I hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog today! Please head on over to Susan Berg's blog to see what she has to share - She's the beginning of our Blog Hop!
