Sun & Surf Kit by Buttons Galore and More ~ Pencil Toppers!

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a FUN kid craft.
Perfect for Summer craft days. I'm using the
Sun and Surf Monthly Kit by Buttons Galore and More.

These were easy to make and FUN!!! The Fish flat backs are a little
wonky so that makes them perfect. Kids will love them!!

I used a 2" scalloped circle die and a 1 1/2" by Spellbinder to
get the shape.  I'm using some scraps of felt that I had in my stash.
The greeting tags are stamped on binding tape and then glued
in between the scalloped layers.

The little fish are called Aquarium / Flatbackz. They are in the kit.  
Glue one in the center of the pencil topper, along with some
flat back pearls.  Leave an opening for the pencil when adhering together.
Add the flat back pearls for water bubbles.  Complete with twine or ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!!

The Pasture by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have two cards to share with using the newly released The Pasture by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. This stamp makes beautiful note cards!
First card~

This card was created with PanPastels as the means to add
color to the image.  Guys this is so easy and it looks fabulous!!!

The Cloud Stencil was used to create the cloud with the blue tones of
PanPastels.   

The brown and green tones (PanPastels) were used to color in the grass and tree bark.
The card front was adhered to coordinating cardstock. Twine and a wooden charm
 were added to complete the card.

Second card~

This was a fun one~
Stamp the image out using a Misti.  You want really clean lines!  I used beige
 heavy cardstock and love the contrast the black ink against the beige. So
pretty!

I used a Spellbinder oval die to cut the center out of  "The Pasture" scene stamp.

The image was squared up and matted on black cardstock.

A scalloped oval (I know it looks like a circle, but it is a oval) is used to

 cut a scalloped edged border for the plain oval.  This will be the focal

of the card.

The center was attached with dimensional adhesive squares.

Seam binding was tied around the base of the card and a vintage button
was added.
 Would love to see you join us over on the
Fans of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps FB page.

Spellbinders~lacey circles

I treated myself to these lacey circles by Spellbinders~they make the prettiest flowers!!!

I used some old phone book paper and stacked several on top ~all sizes, scrunched them up and inked away!!! I used the Glimmer Mists and Shimmerz Paints to add color to the flower.  I think tissue paper would be pretty stamped and scrunched also!! I need to try that next!!

I used scrap cardstock and pattern papers~these are Jenni Bowlin !!!! The chipboard buttons are Graphic45.  The size of the cards are 4x4 ~ a perfect size to tie on or mail!!  Have a great day and always~
