CutCardStock Day


I have been seeing a lot of fun cards made with this postage die.  I figured I get in on the fun too!  I used the following CCS card stocks for this card;  Bright White 130# [card base and panel], Scottish Highlands, Green Curry, and Metallic Fairway.  

Rather than using a stencil to sponge on images, I just stamped some images.  I do enjoy a fun green card!
See you next month!

Just Us Girls Challenge #816 - Stencil Week


Another fun easy challenge - anything goes.

I started with background inking, stenciled and inked another panel, and cut that out with a circle die.

I added a die cut sentiment, and some gems, and this [very masculine] card is complete.  Good thing as I mailed it out same day!

Your turn.  Come on over to JUGS #816, and show us your use of a stencil.

Coffee Lovers Collab with STAMPlorations

I am so excited to be part of a special collaboration between STAMPlorations (@stamplorations) and the Coffee Loving Papercrafters (@coffee_crafts)! We are celebrating all things coffee, ink, and paper. Today I am showcasing STAMPlorations.  *Shery has come out with some new amazing coffee papers and ATC's, while there are still some coffee stamps available.  If you enjoy making coffee cards, it is worth your time to check it out!

Here is my card for today's hop.

I used the new Coffee House Papers for this card. While I used a sheet for my background panel, I also cut out a couple of images from another sheet.  I love the diversity of these papers, along with the stunning images. The sentiment is from After Coffee Stamp Set.  
 
I think this card looks so appetizing!  Could be a great invitation card for coffee with a friend! Here are what the papers look like;


There are also some fabulous ATC's available - Pop Art Coffee, Springtime Coffee and Retro Coffee Signs.  I'll be using these in future posts - however, to see them now, just do the hop!

CutCardStock Day


It's CCS day here on the ole blog.  First off let me say, I am really missing the square photos on Instagram!  I think they look so much better than these 4x5 photos.  Ok rant done.  For my card today, I used the following colored card stock:  DCS Amaranth, Textured Flamingo, Textured Adobo, and a touch of Astrobright Solar Yellow.  
 

I am loving this super fun bright card!

See you next week~

Addicted to CAS #304 - Stripes


One of my favorite themes!

I cut some stripes, and adhered onto a piece of printer paper, and cut out my circle.  These colors make my heart just sing!

Add in an adorable ballerina, stamp a sentiment, and I am thrilled with this card! 😀

Your turn!  Come on over to Addicted to CAS Challenge #304 and play along.  I'm looking forward to seeing the gallery.
