CutCardStock Day

I don't think I have really gotten across how fabulous this paper is. The cost alone is what won me over.  The average, you get 20 sheets [8.5x11] for only $6.95.  They offer many colors too.  Have you popped on over to CutCardStock to check it out?  You won't be disappointed!  No affiliate here, just an opinion.

All that said, today's card used a few of the colors.

The card base is Classic Crest Recycled 100 Bright White 130#.  I totally love using an extra heavy card stock for my card bases!  This is a pack of 25 for $15.95.  Pretty good for 50 cards! 😀  I cut and embossed a panel of Basis Blue 80#. [25 sheets - $7.95]

I went on to a die cut a doily using the DCS Linen Blue Calico, 80#. [20 sheets - $5.95]  (This paper has a lovely texture on it too).  I cut some stripes for even more layering, using the Blue Calico, Lessebo Amazon Dark Teal 83#. [25 sheets - $8.95] and for a fun pop of color, Astrobright Solar Yellow 80#. [25 sheets - $5.95].  Finally, I stamped and Copic colored the floral image, and added a hot foiled HB.  Yep, I am quite happy with the end results 😀

See you next week~

AAA Birthday Challenge #51- Butterflies

 

I adore butterfly cards.  It's funny, most of my friends, not so much.  So, yep, I have a stockpile of them.  But, I have no problem adding to my stash 😀

 

I made myself pull out my Gemini Hot Foil Machine and get it t work [for me].  Yay - I had success!  Seriously, when you slow down, and, use the right products, its amazing how things actually work correctly!  LOL

I used the gorgeous Pink Fresh Studio Butterfly Hot Foil Plate, along with the matching Pink Fresh Studio Butterfly Die for the main image.  I was going to color this, but actually, I think it works as just the outline too.  I used the hb from the Spellbinders Slimline Confetti Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.  I do love this font!

Okay, your turn!  There are so many ways to use butterflies! I can't wait to see the gallery for this challenge over at AAA Birthday Challenge.

SCS Color Challenge 932

It's the Color Challenge #932 today over at SCS.  It's a pretty combo.

I do have to say that I got really lucky!  Yesterday I made this ink panel!  The colors were a brighter versions of the color combo, so I went with it!  I absolutely adore alcohol inked panels - never know what you will end up with, except, it will be stunning!

I used a couple of dies; Spellbinders Bold Bloom Etched, and the hearts from an unbranded die. 

 I did blue foil the sentiment.  Here is a close up of that. [Foiling does not photograph well.. "sigh"]

I had fun.  I also have some extra time today, so I am off to see what other challenges I can find to join in, in blogland.  I might see you later 😀

Trinity Day

 

Not sure I have mentioned [probably have] that I am also an ambassador for Trinity Stamps.  I was playing around the other day and made this card that I wanted to share with you all.

I used the lovely Love You Bunches stamp set with gold embossing. (There is a matching die, I just didn't need it for this card)  I just love the look of the gold and blue together.

I also used the birthday hot foil plate from Spellbinders Slimline Confetti Background set.  I am in love with the font of this hb -- it makes the card so elegant!

Overall, I am thrilled with this card.  Nothing too elaborate, but classy all the same!  (I did get my gold mirror paper from Altenew.)

Also, I wanted to add a HUGE THANK YOU to my friend Kimberly Wiener for gifting me a Gemini Foil Press!  OH MY WORD PEOPLE - I love this machine!! I even got to have lunch with Miss Kimberly while I was in Seattle - win-win - lunch and a free machine!  SO NICE! :)  I'm still awe struck by her generosity!  YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND!!

That's it for my sharing today.
