Hello

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with a card for the PAMMIE'S INKY PINKIES CHALLENGE.  (#2606)

Click on the link to see all the awesome inspiration and maybe join in on the fun and prizes!

I started with a sticker pack of flowers that was on a black background that I had in my stash from a blessing box.  I loved the look so much that I used black card stock and backed that with an A2 size white card stock that I inked up with SALTWATER TAFFY distressed oxide.  I love this shade!

After adhering both panels together I added all the stickers and then went into my stash and grabbed my scalloped die frames and used the same SALTWATER TAFFY to ink the edges and added a black panel to the top with a focal point of flowers.

I decided that I wanted a simple sentiment of HELLO.  I went into my stamps and found one that fit perfectly (I really should have thought ahead because everything was adhered down). I stamped it with some VersaMark watermark and then uses some WOW super fine gold powder and held my breath that it would come out.  It did!

This came together super fast!

Thanks for hanging out with me.  Don't forget to head over and get some inspiration and play along with the challenge.

Have a crafty day,

Masculine Anniversary Card

Hi guys I'm up on the Blogger making a masculine Anniversary card.  I'm not gonna lie, I do like how this turned out.

This is for the following challenges: PIP Challenge 2606, and Creative Fingers Challenge #315, make sure you head over there and check out their fun challenges and all the inspiration!

I used a 6x6 paper pad from THE PAPER STUDIO called SUN BLEACHED FLORAL and I am in love with ALL the papers!  It's rare that I love all the papers in a paper bad but this one I do!

I picked a tiny floral pattern from the pad and then pulled out some 49 and Market rub ons.  The theme of the rub-ons was world/travel so I thought it was perfect for my sentiment YOU MEAN THE WORD TO ME.  Since I didn't have a stamp that said that I ran the A2 card panel through my printer.  I also wanted the words Happy Anniversary on it and since some how I don't have a stamp that says that I ran it through my printer again.

I die cut some stitched hearts I got from THE SCRAPPING COTTAGE and inked them with some lost shadow and adhered them to the front.  I wanted to match the blues from the rub ons so I reached into my stash and found a card stock that went perfectly with it.  I used a marker to put the lines under the sentiment HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and I was done.

I am in love with rub ons right now.  Do you use rub ons on your cards?

Well thanks for hanging out with me today, and if you would like to join in on any of these challenges be sure to click the links!

Have a crafty day!

Bah Humbug!

Hey guys, I'm up on the Blogger with another Christmas card for February's challenge over on the The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up !  If you guys want to stay caught up on your Christmas cards for this year this is a fun way to do it!

Today I'm working on Challenge #131 and made a Grinch card for it.   I absolutely love the Grinch and I found this AI image I printed on watercolor card stock.  I used the smooth side so I could add the stamp sentiment from WHIMSY STAMPS - - BAH HUMBUG!  From their Grumpy Holidays Clear stamps set.  It was still available at the time of this blog and it's super cute with a dog and a Charlie Brown Christmas tree!

After I stamped my sentiment I reached into my card stock and pulled this gorgeous shinny red card stock and framed the Grinch.  I then grabbed some washi tape, because don't we all have a ton of that!  I added a piece of washi to each side of the card to balance it out.  I popped up the Grinch on foam tape, added a sentiment inside and called it done!  Easy Peasy!

If you guys are like me and need some motivation to get those Christmas cards done early so you are not adding any stress to the Holidays, because who needs more of that!  Head over to the 12 MONTHS OF CHRISTAMAS LINK UP CHALLENGE and get some inspiration and some fun prizes and your cards done for a stress free Holiday!

Thanks for hanging out with me today!  Have a crafty day.

Word Art Wednesday Challenge

Hey guys, I'm up on the Blogger with a new challenge group I just found - WORD ART WEDNESDAY!  This is a Challenge that happens every Wednesday.  Today I am playing along with ANYTHING GOES WEEKS 738-739 and the word prompt is:

I'm also playing along with PAMMIES INKY PINKIES...there is a new challenge every Monday so click on the link and head over there to see some great inspiration and join in!

Even though they have a word prompt the Rules say you don't have to use it, anything goes as long as it's family friendly.  I chose to use the scripture and make a card with it.

I went into Canva and used one of their Apps to shape the scripture into a heart and then downloaded it to my Pages.  From there I sized it and printed it out on some Vicki Boutin Vellum paper. 

I reached into my stash and pulled out a 12x12 paper pad with 2 different pattern papers for the base of the card and the word LOVE.

I also reached into my and pulled out a dark gray and a black piece of card stock to back my pattern paper on.  I adhered everything down including the bling I had in my stash just to give it a little extra.

I then reached into my extensive, die collection...lol, I say that because I just took inventory of my dies and you guys...I have some how opened my own little store! hahahaha, Funny not funny (don't tell my husband) and pulled out this LOVE die.  How cute is that?  I will say I got it off of Amazon for cheap and it cuts great!  

I cut the word LOVE out of the pattern paper and backed it 3 times in the grey just to give it a bit of dimension.  I glued it down to the bottom left and added that flower from one of my 49 and Market collections.

Well that was a quick card and I like how the vellum softened it up.  Do you use vellum on your cards?

Don't forget to hop over to the challenge for some great inspiration AND prizes!!

Thanks for hanging out with me today,

Have a crafty day!
