Donut Worry, Be Happy!

Hello friends!

It's nearly the last day of the month and I'm so excited to share with you my September Kit of the Month cards from Kristy's Bloomin' Journey and Fun Stampers Journey!

This month's stamp set was so fun to use and I just love all the great donut stamps!  I know this one will come out again to be used in my everyday crafting fun!

Just look at these fun colors and that adorable paper clip!

These stacked up donuts are just adorable!   I love masking images, but it's something I don't do very often.  I love that the kit of the month always shows a new technique, or reminds me of a technique that I love!

 Oh!  I was so distracted by the delicious donuts that I forgot the adorable glass of milk!!  How cute is that?

 I think this one might just be my favorite!  I love the colors and I used some glitter glue to create cute sparkley sprinkles for my donut!

Such a fun and yummy stamp set!  Thanks Fun Stampers Journey!

And thank you for stopping by to visit!

See you again soon!

Fun Stampers Journey KOTM - Card 4

Hello friends!!

I'm back to share with you the Kit Of The Month for August from Fun Stampers Journey!

Here is a preview of all 4 cards featured in the kit this month:

Time now to show you the last fun card in this months kit.  This is a smaller card, it's 4"x4" but packed full of cute!  All the papers were pre-cut for me and the pierced paper was also pre-done.  The orange chevrons were die cut and ready to adhere.  The kit included all of the twine, the dots and the mini clothespin, too!  All I had to add was a touch of Sweet Pear ink on an acrylic block to create a background effect on the main circle and Journey Glaze that covers the backpack.

Hurry and sign up for your kit today!  Visit my friend Kristy to join the fun!

Hello friends!!

I'm here to share more of the Kit Of The Month for August from Fun Stampers Journey!

Here is the 3rd card that I created with this super fun kit.

This card kit came with the cute patterned paper and pre-cut tags to create the fun background.  Also included was the die-cut bow pieces that were ready to put together.  I colored the stylish purse with markers and also used my markers to color the included rhinestones orange for a pop of color.  I spritzed on some Silver Silk (not included in kit) and viola!  All done!

Fun Stampers Journey August KOTM

Hello friends!!

I'm excited to share with you the Kit Of The Month for August from Fun Stampers Journey!

Here is a preview of all 4 cards featured in the kit this month:

Aren't those cute?  I love these cute bags with their clever sentiments!

So, today I will share with you the first card that I put together, and you can check back in a few days to see the next one.  I'll post each card throughout the rest of August, so you can read the details about each one.

The first one I did was this cute multi-colored bag.  The kit comes with all the pre-cut papers.  The directions led me to add some deeper cuts to the feathers for dimension.  The purse, though it looks colored with markers, is actually paper-pieced together!  So cute!  It's also coated with Journey Glaze and splattered with some Citrus Cooler silk (not provided in the kit).  This card was simple to put together and I love the colors!

Fun Stampers Journey Kit of the Month - June 2015

Hello!

So, my apologies that this post is late, there was a little confusion with the new catalog and new website and Kit of the Month subscriptions, so my kit was a bit late getting to me... but here it is for you to enjoy!

This month's kit has an extra special fun touch - using your own photos!!

How much fun!!

Here are all 4 cards that I've made so far:

The first card I did uses a photo that I took on my recent trip to Maui.  I absolutely adore the cute sunglass element that was included in the kit!

The second card I did uses a photo that I love of my little guy from a month or so ago.  He was blowing me kisses over a hot dog at Costco!  LOL!  Even though the elements that came with the kit were pink, I think they still look great with the photo of my boy!  Pink for Love, right?

This third card doesn't use a photo, but the sentiment is so much fun!  The circle piercing was pre-done for me, making this card so easy to put together!  This one uses 2 of the new colors of Silk from the new catalog - Pink Bubble Gum and Cool Pool Silk (although, I couldn't order the Cool Pool Silk because it sold out so fast, but I had something close that I used until I get my next order placed.)

Here's the last card, so glittery and sparkley and fun!  Lots of Journey Glaze on this one and I love the great new embossing folder!  The embossing and piercing were both pre-done for me!

Another month of FUN cards using the Fun Stampers Journey Kit of the Month!

Fun Stampers Journey - May Kit of the Month

Hi!  It's Kit-of-the-Month Time! Yay!!

This month's Fun Stampers Journey kit from Kristy's Bloomin' Journey features a beautiful flower stamp set that is just a dream to color!

Here are the 4 cards that I made using the supplies provided in the kit and my favorite adhesive.

For the first card, I used Bronze Silk from Fun Stampers Journey instead of gold, because well... I don't have gold - yet.  :)  I love the simplicity of this card!

This second card, I only partially colored the flowers, because I was looking for a more watercolored effect.  Well, I didn't quite get that effect, but I like how it turned out!  I added a mat of black cardstock from my stash to this one, just to give a bit of a frame around the white focal image.

This one turned out beautifully, I think!  Again, bronze silk instead of gold.  I might have gotten a little too happy with the Confetti Sparkle on the flowers, but I love the way they shimmer in the light!

For the fourth card, I was a little more careful with the Confetti Sparkle!  Again, I just colored bits of the flowers, I thought it might be a bit overpowering if I colored them completely.  For this one, I added a gold shimmer spray that I had in my stash.. I need to get some Gold Silk from Fun Stampers Journey soon, though!

As I was driving home from my daughters softball practice tonight, I had an idea for another card I want to make with this stamp set... now I just need to find the time to do it and hope that the idea in my head translates to the real thing!

Thanks for visiting this month!  If you haven't signed up for your Kit-of-the-Month yet, I encourage you to visit Kristy's Bloomin' Journey and get signed up - you won't regret it!

Have fun stamping, friends!

Hugs,

Fun Stampers Journey April Kit of the Month

Hi all!!

Here are the cards that I've created using this months Kit from Fun Stampers Journey.  I am really enjoying these kits and I look forward to receiving the new one every month!

This month's kit features a couple of super cute kiddos ready to go splashing in some puddles!  There are also stamps for a fluffy cloud and a bundle of raindrops which are perfect for those us living in rainy Washington State!  The sentiments are wonderful as well!  "Hello Sunshine" adding a sunny lining to the rainy clouds and the "You are my sunshine when skies are gray" fits the stamps just right!

Here are the 4 cards that I made using the detailed instructions that came with all of the precut papers and embellishments.

This is the first card that I made from the kit.  I love the backgrounds that are created with the included stamps.  The sentiment is fun and colorful.

 The second card uses such bright, happy colors!  I also love the sequin "raindrops" dancing around the sweet girls umbrella.

The third card has such a fun design, it just makes me smile!  All of those falling umbrellas and the sweet sentiment are sure to cheer anyone up!

This last card features the sweet boy stamp, ready to float his boat in a big puddle.  This one has a great layout that adds a fun and sassy feel to the funky colors.

I love how each of these cards turned out.  Even though they are following the directions included in the kit, they still feel like cards made by me.

I can't wait to see the May KOTM.. it should be here soon!

Go visit Kristy's Bloomin' Journey to sign up for your own KOTM - if you love this April Kit, you only have a few more days to have it delivered to your door!

Have Fun!

Fun Stampers Journey - Kit of the Month

Hi there!!

It's been a busy month, but I did find time to finish up my Kit of the Month from Fun Stampers Journey!

I really enjoyed this kit and I know that I'll be able to use these stamps in more cards in the future.  The sentiments are great for many occasions and the bottles could even be dressed up as potion bottles for Halloween!  Or filled with hearts for Valentine's Day!  Such versatility in this set!

Here are my cards, each of them made following the directions and using the supplies that came with the kit.  After each photo, I'll write what supplies I added.

This is all of the cards in the kit.  I just love the fun color combos!

For this card, I colored the sand, shell and bottle stopper with Primacolor markers and added a product similar to Journey Glaze (I can't remember what mine is called) to the whole bottle.

This one is also colored with Prismacolor markers.  I used the same glaze for the "missing you" tag.  I also used some gold spritz to splatter the card.  The spritzing wasn't quite dramatic enough for me, so I pulled the spritzer out and used the end of the tube to dab the gold splats.

This bottle isn't completely covered with glaze, but there is an outline to add some dimension.  Again, Prismacolor markers for the color and there is a touch of gold splatter here, as well.  Love the little metal clip that came in the kit!

This last card has a glazed bottle with Prismacolor markers for coloring.  The kit included the little sequins that look like bubbles.

Twinkle Toes

Good afternoon, friends!

Today I am going to introduce you to something new that I have had a lot of fun playing with!

There is a pretty new stamp company out there called Fun Stampers Journey and my friend Kristy is a Journey Coach bringing ideas and products right to your door (with a little help from our friendly mailman!)

Please take a moment to go check out Kristy's website

Kristy's Bloomin' Journey

I'm sure you'll find lots of wonderful products and great ideas from this fun company!

One of the fun things I've gotten to play with is their Kit of the Month.  When you sign up for the Kit of the Month, you will receive an awesome stamp set and all the paper, ribbon, and embellishments you will need to complete 4 cards.  You'll even receive step-by-step instructions on how to complete the cards!

Once you've finished the 4 cards that are included in the kit, you keep the stamp set and use it to create even more beautiful cards, scrapbook pages and ATC's using your own layouts and ideas.

It's really a lot of fun!

Here is the first kit that I received:

February Kit of the Month

from Fun Stampers Journey

"Twinkle Toes"

Aren't these cards just adorable!

The only things I had to add to the kit were ink, markers, adhesive and a touch of glitter!  Everything else was right there in the package that arrived on my doorstep!

Here is a close up of each of the 4 cards:

The cardstock included is a dream to stamp on and blends well with my markers.

The kit even included this cute clothespin and the twine, as well!

Each piece of cardstock was already pierced for me, so I didn't have to do all the piercing!

This gorgeous ribbon was included, too and it is very easy to work with!

I really had a lot of fun playing with the Kit of the Month for February and I'm looking forward to seeing what they release for March!

Have fun stamping, my friends!

Hugs,

Dee - Sprytebyrd
