You Are My Sunshine Card

Hi all! Today I'm sharing a new card I created for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Come Rain Or Shine. For this challenge, they wanted to see projects that focused on rainy days, sunny days, or both! I decided to focus on the in-between with a rainbow and some sunshine. I used SRM Stickers - Jane's Doodles Rain or Shine Clear Stamp Set. Seriously the perfect stamp set for this challenge!

I stamped all of the images on white cardstock with my MISTI, colored them with colored pencils and then fussy cut each one. I used MFT Stamps Blueprints Die to cut the banner and then applied Distress Ink with a blending tool to create the "sky" for my rainbow scene. For added dimension, I used double sided foam adhesive to adhere the sun and clouds.

Thanks A Latte | Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I hope you all have been enjoying the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I know I certainly have. So many yummy, awesome, coffee themed cards...it makes my heart happy! 

Today, I'm sharing a Thanks A Latte Shaker Card I made using the Jane's Doodles Coffee Time stamp set.


I used the Watercolor with White Embossing Powder and Distress Inks technique to stamp and color in the images. This is by far one of my favorite ways to color in my stamped images. I stamped the images with a clear Versamark ink pad onto water color paper.  I then heat embossed the images with white embossing powder and watercolored them using Distress Inks and some watercolors.

DIY Wooden Easter Decor

Easter is this coming weekend, so I decided it was time to get crafty and make some DIY Wooden Easter Decor that includes some adorable wooden bunnies and eggs.

DIY Wooden Easter Decor by Juliana Michaels | 17turtles

I began by gathering my supplies which included some wooden eggs and bunnies from Hobby Lobby, along with chalk paint, cream wax and a paint brush. For a complete list of supplies, please see below.


Before I started painting the bunnies, I decide to add some texture to them using Gel Medium Heavy Gel. I happened to have Gloss, but Matte would work just fine. I used a spatula to apply a thick layer of the gel medium to both of the wooden bunnies.


As you can see, I put it on rather thick and made sure it was not smooth to help give it more texture.


After the gel medium was dry, I painted the bunny with the Everlasting (White) Chalk Paint. When the paint dried, I noticed that it had a cracked appearance. This was a nice surprise and I loved how it added even more texture to them. I ended up applying two coats of paint. 


After the paint was dry, I applied the Cream Wax with a foam brush and wiped away the excess with a rag. I love the wonderful antiqued feel the Deep Brown wax added!


To finish off the bunnies, I added eyes and noses using adhesive black pearls and a crinkled seam binding bow!

I painted each of the eggs a different color of the chalk paint. I mixed the Romance (Red) with Everlasting (White) to get the soft pink color. After the paint was dry, I applied the cream wax with a foam brush. I then wiped off the excess and buffed them using a rag. The eggs seemed too plain with just a coat of paint, so I decided to dress them up using some ric rac ribbon from my stash. It was originally white, so I used Tim Holtz distress ink and a foam applicator to add some color to them.



To adhered the ribbon to the wooden egg, I used Therm O Web's iCraft Super Tape.


Now, my home is ready for Easter thanks to this cute DIY Wooden Easter Decor!
