Just Us Girls Challenge #832 - Mood Board Week

I do love me a good beach inspiration!

I knew I had surf board dies so I went digging......Yep, found em!

I started by inking up the background panel like an ocean with a cloudy day.  I even added some actual sand. 

I cut out the beach images, added some ink for depth, and adhered to the card base.  Got out my favorite Beach Sentiment set [unfortunately, this company is out of business. I get a lot of requests for who carries this] and stamped the sentiment on vellum.  I am definitely good with this card.

Your turn.  Come on over to JUGS #832 and show us how the mood board inspired you!

STAMPlorations Day - Focus on Stickers

For this STAMPlorations day, I am focusing on some really pretty, and fun stickers.  I don't use stickers a lot, but these made such a fabulous background I had to use them.

I used the very pretty, and delicate Botanicals Backgrounds Clear Stockers for the card panel background, and the Coffee Feel Good Clear Stickers.  I think the bolder font goes really well with the floral images.

And then, for a fun focal, I used the Doodled Coffee & Tea Colorables.  Yep, no stencil coloring here!  Colored, by hand, with my Copics. 

The price point for these sets of stickers is AWESOME! Botanical Backgrounds is $7.00 and you get 16 stickers [4 of each design], and the Coffee Feel Good Stickers you get 32 [!] stickers, again, for $7.00! [8 sheets of 4 different sentiments.]  Absolute amazing price.  However, that said, you can save even more with my 20% off code, plus get a free set!  To make it easy for you, you can click HERE to see ALL the different sets of the stickers offered.

See you next week~

Memory Box Day

It's Christmas in July for Memory Box.  A hugh new release too!

I used the following products to make this lovely Christmas card; Cherry Red Card Stock, Brilliant Poinsettia Dies, and the Merry Christmas Die.

I am rather happy with this end result! Good thing my cards are one-of-kind - this took some time to create :).

Just Us Girls Challenge #831 - Word Week

I was going to create a musical card, but then I won these cuties from Not 2 Shabby, I had to use them instead.  I figure the ball image worked as play.

Aren't these images the sweetest!  They totally bring a smile to my face!  I used an older background technique, inking and water spritzing up an acrylic block, and laying it down on a card panel.  The Group of Cardmakers reminded me of this fun technique.  Thanks Ladies.

I think this background is rather perfect for these fun images - win-win in my book.

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #831 and show us your play card~
