March ATC Instagram Hop

Every time this challenge comes up, I am smiling.  I have so much fun making these smaller works of art!

I kinda used "Easter colors" to get out of my standard blue/green combo, and, all of these flower images, leaves, and even the sentiments, were in my stash of to-be-used stuff!  Major win for making these fun ATC's.

I am totally happy with these!

You can pop on over to Instagram ATC Hop HERE to see more fun tiny art.

STAMPlorations Day

I have found that I've been having so much fun creating with STAMPlorations Papers - specifically, Botanical Beats, that I need to showcase them here on my blog!  Aren't these papers just stunning?!

They also make fast, easy, and of course, beautiful cards!  I simply added the Thankful Word Die, along with some artistic edging, and this card is done!

For this 2nd card, I made like a faux shadow box.  I used the Botanical Beats paper as a base, and turned it into a mixed media panel using the Happy Flower Stencil with some acrylic paint, a couple of self made stamped tissue paper swatches, and lastly, the Perched Bird Die, and a Word Die sentiment.

Adding some artsy framing just finishes off this fun card.

Have you checked out the STAMPlorations store?  Shery's pricing is so right-on-low with today's economy - I can get behind that! 😀

CutCardStock Day

I debated using this card today as to be honest, I only used Classic Crest Bright White Card Stock with a touch of Astrobright Black.

But you wouldn't know right?  I used the inking up an embossing folder technique.  I really think this is a beautiful effect.

Using the same white card stock, I foiled a sentiment.  

I have to say, I am rather thrilled with this card.

See you next week~

Just Us Girls Challenge #814 - Word Week

Embossing [folders] are such a trend right now.  Therefore,  that's the direction I went.

Because I used the stunning CutCardStock Metallic Lagoon card stock, I just went with the actual embossing.

The detail is so impressive with the embossing, and the card is so shimmery IRL - I'm very happy with my card!

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #814 and play along!

Memory Box Day

It's another fun day using the new release from Memory Box. [I'm over on the Memory Blog too] Today I used the Umbrella Trio Die set, Notched Eyelet Frames, along with the Birthday Greetings Stamp/Die Set.

Since this is for an April birthday, the umbrellas are perfect for April showers.  

  I used a mix of beautiful colors from the Color Wheel Paper Pads.  I am rather happy with the combo I chose 😀

I'll be back at the end of the month with another Memory Box card.

This monthly challenge is so easy!  You do not have to even use STAMPlorations products. However, if you do....
