Life Is Like and Ocean

 

Hello there friends!  I am so excited to share this card with you today.  I just love Crafty Stamp Co.'s Positive Tate.  He just always makes me smile.  This stamp set is called, Positive Tates Ocean's Adventures.  Of course, he is also on one of my favorite patterned papers called, Shark Bait.  

In this stamp set, he is just living his best life on the beach whether he is just floating along:

Checking out the sea life with his mask and snorkel.

Or swimming with the sharks!

I used COPIC markers in the following colors:

• E31, E34, E35, E37 - Tate
• RV13, RV04, RV06 - Pink
• Y35, YR16, YR09 - Orange
• T0, T1, T3 - Shark Outfit
• Y11, Y08 - Yellow on the sentiment
• B000, BO2 - Blue

I would definitely enjoy spending a day on the beach with him.  How about you?

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have some beach time in your future.

Bark Means I Love You In Dog Emily Moore Decorative Sentiments

 Hello!  Today I have a card that I created using the Decorative Sentiments Die Set by Emily Moore Designs.  I have been collecting 6" x 6" paper packs over the years and they have just been stashed away.  I just need to do something with them, so my goal is to use paper from at least two packs three times a month.  

Emily Moore Designs has some really great dies that come in sets, that makes a card in less than a half an hour.  Who wouldn't just love that????  

For this card, I used almost every die in this set and I love the way it turned out.  

Emily also has a stamp set called, All The Happy Things, which I have been using a lot.  There are a ton of different sentiments included with it and a lot of them are sentiments, that are unusual but often needed.  It is a great set and you may want to check it out.

And Suddenly You Just Know

Moths are commonly seen as messengers of change, personal growth, and the shedding of old habits to embrace new beginnings.  I love making cards like this because it can touch someone on a deeper level and celebrate a new beginning.

I used the Make A Moth: Betty by Emily Moore Designs for the large die cut moth in the corner.  When I work with these moths, I made several at a time so that I can mix and match the different colors and elements. The changes are very subtle, but it is always interesting to see which colors pop when you mix them up.

I fell in love with the patterned paper on this card.  It is called The Secret Of Change by Unity Stamps.  The colors are so fresh and vibrant.  

The sentiment is my favorite part of this card.  It is from the Journee Girl Stamp Set by Unity Stamps.  I often go through many of my stamps looking just for a sentiment.  I think this is one way of expanding your stamp collection.

I was so happy with the way this card turned out, that I made a couple more using a different color combination.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!
