Simon Says Stamp Haul #29 | New Tim Holtz Distress Goodies!

Hi everyone! I swear the last couple of weeks have been so beyond crazy, with this week just pure insanity with everything I have on my plate. Anywho - this package of goodies has been sitting here and I can't use anything new now without filming a haul video to show y'all first - it's become too ingrained of a habit:

*Note - I included links to all the original Bird Crazy stamps/accessories/sentiments AND addition FYI the last link to the Bird Crazy combo with the matching dies - as of posting this that set is on SALE. Basically purchasing the dies gets you the stamp set for free! I don't have the die set yet (it's on it's way here) but apparently it cuts on the line (not an outline like most dies are) and there are additional dies in the set for you to stamp and then cut out "extra" parts of the birds to layer and create dimension. They're not your normal coordinating die set - I'm excited for them to get here so I can see them in person (and show all of you of course LOL!)

Another note - if you're not a fan of my Facebook page be sure to check it out. I post a lot of papercrafting/coupons/class deals etc etc as I come across them on there that I don't share on here. As most of the time those deals are while supplies last/time sensitive it makes more sense and is easier to share on Facebook! :)

Stay tuned b/c I'll have this week's Color Throwdown Challenge going up later on this evening! ;) ;)

Simon Says Stamp Haul #28 | Mama Elephant Haul

Ahhhhhh I need to stop shopping when I'm stressed out and up in the middle of the night LOL! The phrase "shopping therapy" has been ringing true for me that's for sure.

Anywho tho one big positive to all these hauls is it's giving me a LOT of fodder for cards and videos and posts and social media inspiration! So we'll just look at the positives shall we?

I was drooling over this Mama Elephant release (I do with every release of theirs but I am normally able to contain myself and preserve at least some self control) - and finally couldn't take it anymore, was up late one night not long after it all was released and a bunch of it hopped into a cart at SSS and ended up here with me!

I linked to both the combo sets and JUST the stamp sets as I know some people aren't into the die sets (me personally I love 'em).

SSS Choose Happy | Rainbow Coffee Card | AmyR Coffee Card Series #3

Hello hello everyone! I hope y'all are having a good week so far! I had a chance to get crafty again and made 2 cards using the new SSS Choose Happy stamp set (which I LOVE for so many reasons):

Crazy to think both these cards were made with one small stamp and a sentiment stamp! Also crazy to think this is the first time in a LONG time that I've pulled out and used my Memento inks (I've had 'em for years and years) - I forgot how much fun they were to use (and how great the colors are).

Funny story - a couple of months ago I found a black t-shirt that had this exact same sentiment on it. I would have bought it (and wore it all the time) if it hadn't been designed either for children or really small humans :P. Needless to say when this stamp set came out I was SUPER happy LOL! Next best thing to wearing it is making cards with it!

I stamped 2 different patterns in rainbow order using the little coffee mug stamp and the Memento inks - it was so quick and fun.

And of course I finished off the inside of each card.

To see how they came together you can check out my video below:

Color Throwdown #383 Challenge | Shaker Card | AmyR's Spring & Easter Card Series #5

Hello everyone! It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! I've had a lot of people ask me if anyone can play along with this challenge - and yes you can! If you check out the Color Throwdown blog HERE there is info on the right sidebar that explains the rules for submitting your creation for the challenge. Every Wednesday a new one is posted and all of us on the team post what we made for it then it's up to you to create something with those colors. It's fun and I hope more of you join in!

Here's this week's challenge:

When I was thinking up what I wanted to make with these colors I knew IMMEDIATELY what stamp set I had to use:

The new Lawn Fawn Chirpy Chirp Chirp set was of course perfect for this, and because I'm legit obsessed and will be buried in sequins otherwise I made another shaker card!

Now that I know how easy it is to manipulate the Scotch foam tape (aka "The Precious") to make circle shakers like this (I've shown it in a previous video, and I show how in this one too. I didn't figure this out on my own I learned it from one of Kristina Werner's videos) I don't avoid making them anymore.

I used Copics! LOL I've been SO into watercolour for a while now I just don't reach for my Copics as much - but I still love them and for images like this they're perfect.

And of course the inside - y'all know (and if you're new here you now know) I can't finish a card without finishing the inside too. I don't feel like a card is "finished" until there's something on the inside too - even if it's just a stamped sentiment or a strip of patterned paper - something!

May Arts Pinterest Challenge Card | Tim Holtz Flower Garden | Gansai Tambi Watercolors

Hey everyone! So I got my days mixed up and thought tomorrow was the 7th :P - which means I'm late to the game. Anywho - the May Arts Design team started a Pinterest challenge and we all created something inspired by this:

Super pretty right? Make sure to check out the post on the Ribbon Resource blog as it shares what the rest of the team made (it's pretty cool to see how everyone else interpreted it!) PLUS there's a giveaway going on over there as well so be sure to check it out.

I went pretty literal with my inspiration card:

I created my scene using the Tim Holtz Flower Garden stamps (that have been sitting here for a loooonnnggg time now), which I watercolored with my Gansai Tambi watercolours.

And the inside:

SSS Spring Plush Release Video 2 | Felt Plushies | AmyR Spring & Easter Series #4

Hello everyone! Well I am REALLY happy y'all enjoyed my previous post with the shaker chickens - I had a lot of fun making them! 

I finally got the video edited and uploaded to show y'all the other projects I made with some of the new SSS Spring Plush release - this time using actual felt:

I know I sound like a nut in the video - blame it on a serious lack of sleep, a large amount of coffee and the fact that I have been REALLY enjoying making these little felt plushies lately! I've already ordered a couple more shapes and am trying to hold back from getting even more LOL! They're just so much fun.

Once I got the hang of making these (which didn't take very long at all - and all three of these were my first attempt) they come together really quickly! 

I'm also loving these guys b/c I have quite the stash of buttons that I was contemplating getting rid of (oh the horror! Actually I'm pretty ruthless with getting rid of stuff b/c after a while it really is just hoarding and it becomes overwhelming) some if not all of them. Now with these guys I can add buttons here and there as added embellishment so it's sort of a win-win LOL!

Anyway to see how these came together and maybe learn some tips and trips along the way check out my video below:

SSS Spring Plush Release | Shaker Chicken | Blog Hop | AmyR Spring & Easter Card Series #3

Hey everyone! I am SOOOO excited to be participating in this blog hop! Literally bouncing in my chair as I type this up LOL!

To celebrate Simon Says Stamp's newest release - Spring Plush - a bunch of awesome peeps are sharing their fabulous creations using these new dies and felt and stamp set. Make sure you check them all out b/c the peeks I've seen on social media so far have been amazing!

ALSO make sure you're leaving comments on all the blog posts in the hop (including this one!) as SSS is generously giving away a Simon Goody Bag to one lucky commenter on each stop on the hop! (winners will be drawn on Monday March 7, 2016)

If you missed any of the stops on the hop you can find the list with links at the SSS blog post HERE.

OK on to my project - I honestly couldn't narrow down what to make with the dies I had - I made a lot more than the fun chicken shakers I'm showing y'all here but I'll save the rest for another day!

While I've been loving die cutting SSS's new felt (I kid you not when I rave about it in the video - their felt really does die cut like a dream, I have some 100% wool felt in my stash and it just doesn't cut near as nice as the SSS kind does), I wanted to try something else. So I used vellum and made a pair of "Shaker Chickens".

I wasn't too sure where I was going when I started making them but once the first one took shape the second one took no time at all to complete (and I guess I'll have to make a 3rd as my oldest laid claim to one already and I thought she wouldn't be interested - turns out she loved it so score one for me!).

MFT Tweet Friends | Distress Ink Watercolor

Happy Thursday!

I have a couple of cards and a video to share with y'all using MFT's new Tweet Friends stamp set and coordinating die-namics:

I was only going to make one card originally, but couldn't decide between silver and gold so I made 2 so I could do both!

I heat embossed the images for the gold card with detail gold embossing powder then used my Distress Inks and a water brush to messily watercolour them in.

The second card I did with silver - I can't remember if I mentioned in the video but for both I used "shine" card stock and not foil - so it's not quite as reflective as the foil (the shine ones have a nice metallic look to them while the foil is literally like a mirror finish) - so pretty.

I finished off the insides with stamped images from the stamp set and the remaining embossed and watercolored birds.

I'm glad so many of you are enjoying these Happy Mail Haul videos! It's fun for me to have a different way to connect with you guys and always ALWAYS fun to pick these up at the post office!

I said in the video we can try doing "themes" since I hinted at them last time and had a lot of people want to go for it. So the theme for March will be Spring/Easter cards (and I know I should be thinking ahead and planning for the next month too but as always I'm just flying by the seat of my pants and not looking too far ahead! I'm still jazzed that you guys are sending cards!).

If you'd like to mail a card to be featured in an upcoming Happy Mail Haul video here's my mailing address:

MFT Smart Phone Shaker Card | WeR Fuse Tool | Color Throwdown #382

Hello everyone! Last week was my oldest daughter's birthday, and since this week's Color Throwdown challenge was the in the color scheme I was planning on for her card (so nice when life works out like that LOL) I saved this to share with the challenge.

Here's this week's challenge:

I went a little more aqua-blue with my card as I didn't really have a color closer to the challenge one (which was a little surprising as I have SO many colors of ink and card stock - proof that it's never enough!). I also decided to make a full sized shaker card:

I created the cell phone with MFT's Smart Phone Die-namics, and stamped all the sentiments with the Friend Request stamp set.

I contemplated inserting the phone into the shaker card itself but liked it better on the outside so that all the shaker pieces were in the "background".

For the back of the card I created the "sentiment" using a bunch of different MFT Die-namics sets. I originally planned on writing something there and then sealing it into the shaker card but then going through my die sets the idea started to form and I made what you see here :).

This was SUCH a fun card to make - even with all the oops (I talk about it in the video), and now I know for sure that actual glitter WILL sift out of these pockets made with the fuse tool - I had assumed as much but now I can say it's a definite thing LOL! Though she didn't mind that in the least - I'm just telling y'all b/c I know how some people feel about glitter ;) ;).
