Mother and Daughter Crafting with Cherie

I love these two stamps from Fun Stampers Journey.  'Say Cheese and 'Mermaid Wishes'  I really like how it looks like the shark is coming out of the waves.  I am going to use this for a birthday card for my special mermaid.  :-) I used the the double curtain fold with this card and FSJ stencil in the background called Ball Chain.  I thought it looked like bubbles.  I used Blue Skies Journey Sequins on the little Mermaid and Journey Glaze and Sparkle Dust on the Star Fish or Shells.  Next time, I will probably use plain card stock for the double curtain fold so everything looks a little less busy. Happy Stampin and havin fun!   :-)

Here is a close-up. Just keep on stampin and playin!  :-)

I used a curtain fold on this one.  Simple just score at 3/4", 1 3/4, 2, 2 3/4, 3, 3 3/4, and 4.  Fold like an accordian.  Deb Valder has a great tutorial on you tube. For this fold I

April 2016 Bloom Box 'Light Up' Love, love, love this monthly kit.  I look forward to it every month.  Even if I think I am not excited about the stamp, I end up loving it and all the new techniques.  Fun, Fun, Fun! I sponged the background (behind the lantern) with white craft ink to make it look like the lantern was lighting up the night.  Both above and below. Of course you always need a little glitter!  Journey Sparkle Dust
