You know what that means....Halloween! I'm all about cute Halloween cards and decorations. Today I decided to make my Halloween card using<a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank"> A Muse Studio's</a> dies and Tombow Dual Brush markers to create my ghostly Halloween scene. I have created a<a href="https://youtu.be/FEfbrQnrm6E" target="_blank"> video</a> tutorial to show you how I did it.<br />

Today I have a quick and easy treat bag tutorial to share with you. I had an extra bag that I created the orange stripes using the sponging technique so I pulled it out to decorate it using <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">A Muse Studio's</a> digital papers and dies. I have also created a quick tutorial for you.<br />

Hello Stampers! Summer seems so short. I wish it would last forever. I guess Summer could last forever with this bright and cheery card I made using <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=2&InvDispSubCatID=6" target="_blank">A Muse Studio's Hibiscus Border</a> set. I created one almost identical a while ago using <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=8&InvDispSubCatID=27" target="_blank">Tombow Dual Brush Markers </a>to create a faux watercolor effect. </div>

<a name='more'></a>Hello! This is a really simple card. I decided where my flowers were going to be placed then stamped them. I then used the <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=53" target="_blank">Landscape die</a> set for the hill and placed it right on top of the stem portion. The sentiment was die cut twice and I used <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=8&InvDispSubCatID=27" target="_blank">Tombow Dual Brush Markers</a> to color them in then using the blender marker to blend the three colors together.<br />
The clouds were added in after I put the card together. I didn't like the white background so I took the landscape die and used it to create the clouds.<br />

Hello! Today I am making a shaker card using <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">A Muse Studio's </a><a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=2&InvDispSubCatID=149" target="_blank">Love and Thanks</a> set. I haven't made a shaker card in quite a few years. Back then we used glitter, now it's sequins. I love the sequins for the filling. It adds such a fun sparkle.</div>

<a name='more'></a>I started by embossing the flowers and leaves with white embossing powder. I then used <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=8&InvDispSubCatID=27" target="_blank">Tombow Dual Brush Markers</a> to watercolor the background. The salt was added to create texture. Next thing was to cut out the circle and assemble the center for the shaker card.<br />

Hello! It's been pretty hot lately. Summer is in full swing for sure. I pulled out my inks and dies to create this Summer themed card. I love this Dr. Seuss quote from <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">A Muse Studio</a>.</div>

<a name='more'></a> I started by sponging the buttercup and orange pigment inks onto the white cardstock. I also sponged ocean onto another piece of white cardstock and using the <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=53" target="_blank">Landscape die</a>, I cut out the water portion for my card. Last of all was to stamp the sentiment onto the die cut circle.<br />

Hello! I wasn't able to stamp for a short time due to my arm and hand issues but I am so happy to be able to do a bit of stamping the last couple of days. Summer has been awesome with the beautiful weather and time spent at the beach with my family. This card is more like a tribute to Summer. I am using<a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" style="color: #908d6a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> A Muse Studio's </a>Hibiscus Border set. This set is only available while supplies last. You can find it <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=55" style="color: #908d6a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">here</a>. I am also sponsoring over at the <a href="http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com/" style="color: #908d6a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Tuesday Throwdown</a> challenge this week. The challenge theme is one layer. Let's just say I took a bit of a detour when I was creating a one layer card.</div>

I started by using Tombow markers to color the stamp and stamped it along the right side of the white paper. I then added light blue around the outer edges of the stamped image. I took the detour because I wanted to add the orange polka dot patterned paper. I started trimming down the stamped paper and when I started layering the papers together I realized it was not going to be one layer, lol. I stamped the sentiment and added some embellishments.</span><br />

I have the need to just sit down and create something quick and simple. I have been doing a lot of watercoloring lately and love using <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=8&InvDispSubCatID=27" target="_blank">Tombow's dual brush markers</a>. They're so awesome for all around coloring and blends well.<br />

<a name='more'></a>On this card I did a wet on wet watercolor technique by just dropping the red and blue colors randomly onto wet watercolor paper. I die cut the <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=53" target="_blank">sentiment</a> three times and adhered them together to create dimension. I then added <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=8&InvDispSubCatID=28" target="_blank">Wink of Stella Clear</a> glitter to give it some shimmer and embellished with mini star stickers and sequins to finish the red, white and blue theme.<br />

This is the last of the Tropical Blooms flowers that I watercolored and embossed. I love to be able to use up extra things or scraps. I am keeping it a red, white and blue theme for Summer's 4th of July celebration. I started by creating a tag and freehand cut it to the size I need. I then stamped the small hibiscus in blue right onto of the tag and the pinstriped patterned paper.<br />

<a name='more'></a>I used 3d tape to pop up the tag. I stamped and die cut the greeneries to place it behind the large hibiscus. The last thing to do was add some twine and embellishments.<br />

I am still using up the extra flowers that I colored and embossed. I only have one more large flower left to use up. On this card I used A Muse Studio's Be Yourself and Tropical Blooms. I started by creating the watercolor background using Tombow markers and let it dry.<br />

<a name='more'></a>I die cut the circle and sponged it in Buttercup. The flamingo was stamped with Grapefruit and on the wing I did a second generation stamping so I can go back and used Grapegruit to allow the feathers to show up. I stamped and cut out some plant leaves to add behind the hibiscus flowers. The hello was die cut twice and added onto the card for dimension.<br />

Hello! This is another one of the flowers from A Muse Studio's Tropical Blooms set that I had made extras of. I had to find a way to incorporate this awesome Dr. Seuss sentiment into this card.</div>

Our youngest kiddo finished school yesterday and we are just taking it easy for today. I love Summer and the non-rushing aspect of it. I am celebrating the beginning of Summer using these two sets from <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">A Muse Studio's</a> limited edition June collection called <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">Be Yourself</a> and <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">Tropical Blooms</a>.<br />

<a name='more'></a>I used the Be Yourself set to stamp the background rectangle panel. I then embossed the hibiscus from the Tropical Blooms set and watercolored using Tombow brush markers. The square panel was die cut in the center and the hibiscus was adhered onto the stitched circle using 3d tape. I stamped and cut out the sentiment in a banner shape. The sequins were then added for the final touch. I hope you all have an awesome Summer filled with wonderful loving memories of time well spent with friends and family.<br />

Hello! I was challenging myself to use this Tropical Blooms stamps and dies from <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">A Muse Studio</a> to create this fun Patriotic themed card. I started by embossing and masking the images with white embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a>I then watercolored it using Tombow markers. I then fussy cut the hibiscus. I had everything all shaded then decided it needed some glitter. That's when some of my shading started to come together and form one color. OOPS! Note to self; be careful with the Wink of Stella brush. I die cut the sentiment and also added Wink of Stella because after all it is a celebration. I used a light blue Copic marker to outline the images. I then popped some sequins and mini dotted rhinestones.<br />

<a name='more'></a>I am using the <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">Tropical Blooms </a>set from the June Collection. I used the masking technique to create my layout. I embossed all the images with gold embossing powder then I watercolored everything using Tombow dual brush markers on watercolor paper. The sentiment is from the new Be Yourself set which is also available with the June Collection. I then added the polka dot ribbon.<br />

A Muse Studio June Collection Reveal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello! I am loving these new stamps from <a href="http://www.amusestudio.com/kimsherrod" target="_blank">A Muse Studio</a>. I've been having so much fun coming up designs for them. This set is called Be Yourself from the June collection, which is available to order today. I started by using Tombow markers to create the watercolor background. I then randomly stamped the leaves.</div>

<a name='more'></a>I then added the pink flowers. The flamingo was stamped and die cut using the Be Yourself die set. I adhered the flamingo onto the card using dimension tape. I die cut the fern to create an embellishment for the top of the ribbon. I then die cut the sentiment. I cut multiple layers to make it sturdy and adds some dimension. Last of all I added Wink of Stella to all of the 3d images. These two photos show the shimmer from the Wink of Stella.<br />

<a name='more'></a>This is a sneak peek of the new June collection which will be available to order on June 1st. I started by embossing the image with white embossing powder. I then used Tombow's dual brush markers to create the watercolor background on Bristol white paper. I die cut the sentiment three times then adhered all the layers together to give it some depth. Last of all I added some sequins.<br />

I fussy cut the cottage image after coloring and used 3-D foam tape to place it on the embossed die cut paper. I also did some wet embossing and used diamond dust. That's one of those things I haven't used in a long time. It sure was fun. I also used a stylus to create the embossed lines to frame the image and then added a bow. </div>
