February Instagram Embossing Folder Hop

It's time for another fun Instagram hop - Embossing Folders. Our theme is Luck of the Irish. 

I have nothing, nothing [!] for St Patrick's Day in any of my many [many] stamps.  That said, I made do with what I had, and used a sentiment from my friend the Internet!

I also added fun texture with a dot embossing folder. Surprisingly, I am pleased with how this turned out.  Yay.

Want to see some more cards using embossing folders?  The list of participants is HERE.

CutCardStock Day

For today's monochromatic card, I used my favorite color - [shoot, who am I kidding? I think all the colors are my favorite] Metallic Sapphire Blue

It is such an elegant color!  Of course, the embossing certainly helps 😉

The sheen of this card stock is so fabulous in real life.

I'll be back next Saturday for another showcase of color~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #302 - Weather

This has many possibilities!

I went with raining. Well, the umbrella gives off the idea of rain. I love that the sentiment works well for a get well card too, or even a "bad times" card.

I sketchy colored the image with my Sharpies - I kinda of like the artsy feel of this one.

Your turn.  Come on over to ATCAS #302 and show us your CAS weather card.

February Instagram Patterned Paper Party Hop

This month has a theme of pink & red

I finally used this fun guy from Woodware's 3 Gnomes stamp set.  I really enjoy gnomes I just don't use them often.  They really are fun.  The best part?  They are easy to color too 😄

Mix him with [my favorite] dots and stripes papers, and this card is on my approved list!

Just Us girls Challenge #811- Mood Board Week

This is a fun pink mood board!

Typically for me, I have a tendency to faux re-create the board.  This worked pretty good  as I had some similar images - window, coffee cup, branch. I did have fun making this.

Did you notice the fun kitty in the window? 😄

Okay, your turn.  Come on over to JUGS #811 and show us how the mood board inspires you!

STAMPlorations Challenge Reminder

This is a reminder post for the February STAMPlorations Anything Goes Challenge.

I used the beautiful Blue Blooms ATC Ephemera.  Using a hexagon die [from my stash] I cut into the ATCs, and mounted the cut shapes onto a shadow die.  I do adore the colors and images on these ATCs.

The fun Skinny Sentiments hello fit in the corner space perfectly! 

You can play along over on the STAMPlporations Blog.  Remember, it's anything goes, and, you do not have to use STAMP products [though if you have any...] 😀

February Instagram ATC Hop

I have to say again, I love this hop!  I adore making ATCs!

After making a master background sheet with a mixed of paints, and sprays I cut it into the ATC size [3.5x2.5] and starting layering and adding fun products to complete them.  I used some wood shaped products from my stash, painted them and glued them on.  I used some inside cardboard from a box for even more texture, and added more paint and some white splatter.  I then used my sewing machine - I love stitching on these fun mini works of art.  Lastly, I added some Avery hand punched words.

Yep - I am thrilled with the end result!
