You're my favorite story

The new @lalalandcrafts Kit of the Month is now available and it is all about books and reading, with adorable sleeping and reading puppies and kitties, and amazing dies, as always, including a bookshelf and a ton of decorative elements for the bookshelf, a well as a layered pet bed. All dies and images on my projects are from the kit. I also used a couple stencils and paper packs from past releases. I created two different cards, stretching the bookshelf to create a  window as well. I really love how each turned out and love those happy cozy vibes. I have a reel showing most steps following on IG. And if you are interested in watching the full coloring, head over to my YT channel (link in profile) Kit of the month products: Bookish Marci clear stamp Reading buddies clear stamp Bookshelf die Bookshelf element die Pet bed die Additional products: Scalloped sentiment labels dies Wood textures I paper pack In the city paper pack On the wall stencil Skyscrapers stencil Ranger Distress ...

You cracker me up

Sharing a fun interactive project I made for @trinitystampsllc with their Crafty Pantry box die set. I just love this set; it has so many dies to customize the box as you want. There are also coordinating products, including stamp sets that you can use to customize the front and side of the box. Such a versatile and fun set! I combined it with several products, including a few products from the Cheese collection which I particularly love. The puns are so good. Don't miss my reel and longer video on my YT channel showing how I created this interactive card which also contains a giant cracker-shaped card inside the box.

Have a purr-fect day

POV: When you are still trying to catch up on Under the sea projects, but you can't wait to play with these cute kitties from @ecraftdesigns. I couldn't keep the kitties totally hidden behind the aquarium, so I created another card for the kitties which can be slid behind the aquarium. The aquarium was assembled between two layers of acetate and mounted on the cardbase with foam tape to allow sliding the kitties card in.

Soak up the sun

I finally took some time to play with the June kit from @heroarts and decided to Copic color these beautiful dies. I'm glad I gave it a try, as intimidating as it was. I had done another version with colored cardstock just before and I just could no longer use it after I was done with her.
