Memory Box Day

I'm going with another Christmas card for today from the Christmas Charm Release.

I started with the Polkadot Stencil using some embossing paste for snow on the card base. I cut a small panel with the Fan Stitched Scalloped Arch Frames, and built on top of that. The foliage came from Pine & Berries Sprigs, and the adorable bird from Holiday Robin. [Yes, he is an albino robin 😉]

I opted for no sentiment, but will stamp the inside with a Christmas greeting before mailing.

That's it for this month.  I'll return next month with more fun creations using Memory Box Co supplies.

CutCardStock Day

I received a pretty new color of cardstock in; Stardream Metallic Coral!  It's so pretty I  made a monotone card to showoff the color.

I matched the paper to the beautiful center image [STAMPlorations Ephemera], and simply just framed it! This layout works to focus on the beautiful paper, and the pretty image. 

I added an appropriate sentiment, and this lovely card is complete.

See you next week~

Just Us Girls Challenge #837 - Mood Board Week

Whoa - I am loving this photo!

I've been seeing a lot of videos on coloring with an embossing folder so I instantly thought of this technique when I saw this mood board!

I inked up a card panel, ran it through with an embossing folder, and then using a dark green ink, swiped the debossed side.  I loved the touch of teal in the photo, so I made my bfly with that color.

I'm okay with this end result.  Could it be better?  Probably, a matter of practice apparently.  It works for this challenge.

Your turn.  Come on over to JUGS #837 and show us how you are inspired making your card!

STAMPlorations Day - Perfect Pairs

A couple of weeks ago, Shery has released more awesome products!  This new line is called Perfect Pairs, and it enables you to put together amazing, QUICK cards!

See what I mean?  Yep, less than 5 minutes to create this stunner!

And this one - maybe 6 minutes [I had to cut the circle card base 😉]

Tell me how absolutely fabulous this image is! I am in love....

I purposely picked the bright yellow card stock to go with the sentiment.  A very bright, fun card!

Check this new line over at the store!  Remember, you can use my code too~

August Instagram ATC Hop

It's time for my favorite hop over on Instagram - ATCs.  I so enjoy making these tiny works of art.  Using scraps is another win!

This month I only made 2.  As much as I like making ATCs, I rarely use them.  They just keep growing in my stash.

I started with STAMPlorations Color Me Spring ATCs as my base.  [I had 2 left over, hence making just 2.]

I roughly added some white paint, and once that dried, I added some of my stash stickers. I do love these stickers, but again, I never use them on my cards.  Remember the saying "Use what you have"- that is my golden rule!

After stamping some faux stitching, and adding on back-stashed sentiments, these 2 ATCs were complete.
