October Instagram Mini Slimline Card Hop

Out of all the card sizes, I think this is my favorite!  I do look forward to this hop too.

While searching for something else, I came across this fun balloon stencil. [Yep, totally forgot I had it.]. While at a friend's house, I made this card.  Quick and easy.

You can see the rest of the hop HERE.

The Male Room Challenge #215 - Geometric

I am totally about a geometric card!  For today's, I went mixed media!

I grabbed some tissue paper, and ripped a book page, and started stenciling some basic geometric shapes, after adding on some acrylic ink.  I then tore some strips, and layered onto a cut panel for stability.

I did some paint splatter, and added a pre made sentiment.

I think this style of card is perfect for a masculine card!

Your turn. Come on over to The Male Room Challenge #215 and show us your geometric, masculine card.

STAMPlorations Day - STAMPcuts Retro Christmas

Today I am featuring the STAMPcuts Retro Christmas.

I started with the Circles All Over Textured Cover Plate  for added texture to the card base.  Using an oval die [from my stash], I stamped a background from the Nordic Knit Tag stamp set, and then, stamped, cut out and colored the hanging stockings from the same set. 

Last step, I added the Retro Christmas Cut for the sentiment.

==============

For this second card,  I started with a Diamond Textured Cover Plate from my stash. [I thought this was a STAMP product, but whoops it wasn't].  Using the Bracket Labels/Tags Nesting Dies, I cut some framing, and layered all together to make a shaker front.

Lastly, I adhered the Retro Christmas Cut.

I hope you enjoyed these new Cuts.  See you next week~

October Instagram Gorgeous Gift Tag Hop

Whoa, by the looks of it, I haven't joined in this hop for a couple of months! [Time....flies]. I had to join in this month - the theme is circles.  I like circles :)

I inked up a panel, and cut out 3 round shapes.  The tree is from somewhere - I've had it for years!  the ghost and sentiment are from the newest Memory Box Release; Holiday Harmony; Pumpkin Kisses stamp set with dies.

I like the ghost in vellum - it makes him see through. :)

You can see the rest of the hop HERE.

Memory Box Day

It's time for another memory Box day here on my blog.  Today I am using a few products from the new Holiday Harmony Release.

There are some super fun images in this release!  I used the following; Harvest Basket, Ollie Bird, and a stamp set, Christmas Wonders [with dies].  I also used the Evergreen Holly Bundle from the Christmas Charm Release.

I also used the card stocks from the Blush 6x6 Solid Core Pack, and the Greenery 6x6 Solid Core Pack. I have to say, I am happy with this end result.

See you next week with more Memory Box~

CutCardStock Day

Well, Autumn is officially here and that means, all the pretty colors start showing up!

I figured I would start here on my blog since my town doesn't get all the pretty colors.  I used the Memory Box Evergreen Tree Stand, and also a die from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Forest Friends and Frame set.

I used the following colors to create this card; Classic Crest 130# for the card base, Astrobright Black, Dolphine Gray, Astrobright Solar Yellow, and Textured Adobo Orange for everything else.

Again, this reminds me of our Yellowstone trip!

See you next week~

Just Us Girls Challenge #843 - Die Week

Yeah, so I might have mentioned [over the years] that I pretty much do not like Halloween.  That said, when there is a challenge... well, I gotta do it!  After searching, I finally found a Halloween stamp set; Memory Box Pumpkin Kisses. [kind of an adorable set for sure!]

Even though this is a totally CAS card, that ghost is too fun!

=============

Now, the original post... Below is the card I made first, along with the verbiage.

Surprisingly enough, this card totally made me smile!  That little mummy is beyond fun.  In all disclosure, these were a freebie digital set I got last year.  I do not have ANY dies for Halloween, so, a hand cut is going to have to work for this challenge.

Where did I find the Halloween set?  In my new stack of goodies from Memory Box!  I literally just went through the products after I made this post.  Hence, there being 2 cards - 1 correct, 1 improvised.

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #843 and play along.

AAA Birthday Challenge #90 - Big & Bold

I went with a different approach for this challenge.  Self made.  When I searched big and bold in Pinterest, I got some graphic images.  Well, I can do that!

Once I had drawn and colored with Copics, I went to my stash and found some [so old] Altenew stamps, which worked perfectly!  I also was happy with the big celebrate, also Altenew.

Between the graphics, the bold colors, and the big celebrate, I think I nailed this challenge.

Your turn!  Come on over to AAA Birthday #90 and show us your big and bold birthday card~
