Just Keep Swimming!

 

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I have the pleasure to present a card using a new 2024 brad set. These are Shark Brads! They go very nicely with the many other sea life and nautical brads already in the store. In this case, I paired the sharks with Water Splat Brads with the encouraging words to, "Just keep swimming."

The blue and white polka dot background is made with Dot Washi Tape-Blue. For a border, I used a strip of blue Fancy Long Bling-Pearls & Jewels. This color is so perfect for any water themed cards or projects.

SHOPPING LIST:
Shark Brads

Water Splat Brads

Fancy Long Bling - Pearls & Jewels

Dot Washi Tape-Blue

In addition to the Shark Brads, there are two other new sets that I'll be sharing soon. They are Girl Gnome Brads and Liquor Brads. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating!

Summer Fun & Sunshine!

 Hello Ai fans! Well, it's the first holiday of the summer and you know what that means? Yep. Fun in the sun is in full swing. Break out your whites, swimsuits and beach umbrellas. It's time to soak it in while we can. 

To create this card, I made the background using Skinny Washi and Glitter Chevron Washi. I added Blue Glitter Enamel Dots in corners. I made a mat for the ephemera piece with Butterfly Washi and more of the Glitter Chevron Washi. Then I attached the pieces together and decorated the edges with many summer themed brads. I used: Beach Umbrellas, Sunglasses-Colored, Water Splat, and Crab & Lobster Brad Sets. The entire list with links are found below:

Thanks a Ton

Our brand new grandson, Jonah, is getting showered with some adorable whale themed gifts and so I made these thank you notes for my daughter to send.  The cute little whale image is from the Cricut's "Just Because Cards" image set and the Eyelet Outlet Water Splat Brad was perfect touch, don't you think?!

The cute little whale is swimming in some water than I embossed with a wave embossing folder. Other Eyelet Outlet Brads used were the Seagull Brad, Sun and Cloud Brad, and Anchor.  

Thanks for stopping in today and if you're in the Chantilly, Virginia this weekend, stop by and see us at the Scrapbook Expo! 

A Good Puddle!

TGIF crafty friends!  Susie here with another ATC*!

The weather lately has been a little rainy and it has me thinking of April showers and that always reminds me of my daughter stomping through puddles with her ladybug rain boots and her ladybug umbrella!  What a picture!  Anyway, that happy memory is the precise reason I own these stamps. Time to play... 

I stamped a 2.5" x 3.5" piece of watercolor paper with Archival Ink.  The image was very mottled because of the texture of the paper so I pulled out my black marker and filled in the silhouette to a nice solid black.  A little mix of blue watercolor paint gave me the puddles I was looking for but I wanted to show a SPLASH!  

Eyelet Outlet to the rescue with these wonderful Water Splat Brads.  They come 12 in a pack with a mix of 2 shades of blue.  Perfect! 

Here is the finished ATC.  

I matted it with black cardstock and attached it to a very simple card base with Zots - my "go to" adhesive!  

And here is the finished card - and a few extra ATC's I would love to share!  

If you are interested in one of the extras, leave me a comment over on my Facebook or Instagram pages and let me know.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!  Susie
