Boy Birthday Card - The Robin's Nest

Let's continue the "All Boy" theme this month with the perfect birthday card for the little man in your life. It is full of fun 3D embellishments, bright glitter cardstock, and bold stripes. As soon as I saw that little robot stamp, I knew Silver Dew Drops would make perfect eyes and metal looking rivets.

Sticky Snippets?

So what is a Sticky Snippet?
According to the Joggles website, "Sticky Snippets™ are the perfect mixed media blank canvas, accepting many types of media including paints, ink sprays, glimmer sprays, acrylic inks, glitter paste, and even light coats of gels and mediums. You are the creator; choosing color, pattern, and texture to suit your project. Whether the shapes are the focal element or are part of the background, you’ll create one of a kind work that reflects your unique style."

My play with this new product resulted in a gift box and coordinating card. To check out the tutorial visit the Joggles Blog HERE

Sticky Snippets are sheets of white sticker that have shapes pre-cut.  They have been perfectly designed to accept all kinds of paints and sprays without becoming crinkled & warped. Joggles offers many different Sticky Snippet shapes and even has a large solid adhesive page with no pre-cut design so you can cut your own shapes by hand or put them through the die cutting machine. There are so many possibilities to make matching embellishments and wonderfully coordinated projects.

Diamond Dew Drops (AKA- My new best friend)

I knew I wanted to do a project using lots and lots of Dew Drops. Usually, I use them as random accents or for the center of flowers. I want the Dew Drops to be the main attraction and star of the show. I noticed that I had been solely focused on the round Dew Drops and hadn't given the Diamond Dew Drop its fair appearance in my projects. When I realized how many colors they come in, I knew I had to make a rainbow of beautiful Diamond Dew Drops.

Here is a little peek...

Joggles Wonky House Rubber Stamps

Today, I have a card project created completely with Alcohol Inks over on the Joggles Blog.  I love the vibrant colors that they produce and the interesting patterns you can create as they dry.

Here is a sneak peek...


I made three different cards to show the scope of possibility using the same stamps & techniques but varying the color scheme. I hope you will see the versatility of the stamp designs and agree that the same image can suit multiple occasions. By simply changing color palette from bright to pastel shades, you can create for a wide range of occasions.

2 more cards...




Alcohol Inks are known for their beautiful intense color but are equally effective when used in pastel shades. Spend some time exploring Alcohol Inks and just have a play, you may be pleasantly surprised at what you can create.
