Postage Party

Today's card is for another hop over on Instagram. The hop is Postage Party and it's where a group of crafty friends get together and use the postage dies in different was each month. You can check it out over on instagram and even join us if you'd like. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a couple white panels. One panel I used as a layer and the other I cut out the postage die by Waffle Flower. The stencil set I used is Postage Collage Cupcake, also by Waffle Flower. I used both the Birthday Postage and the Everyday Postage stamp sets. 

Addicted to Stamps & More 495 - Diecuts ad/or Stencils

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More. It's time for our diecuts and/or stencils challenge.

To make this card I used products from the Spring Crp & Create event.

I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a sheet of acetate. I cut the card base using a die and the attached acetate in between the two pieces to create a see through front to the card. I added some pattern paper in the inside. I cut out the deer pieces and ink blending them before I glued them together to create the deer.

June CASE- It

Today's card is for another hop over on Instagram, This one is the CASE-It hop. Its where a bunch of cardmakers where we find a project on Instagram that inspires us and the CASE (copy and share everything) it. For my card, I chose a card by Cathy Z below. I actually thought I had the same cover plate (which I still think I do somewhere) but this one is a little different an I changed up the color combo and sentiment. 

All products are by Concord & 9th

Addicted to CAS 285 - Water

Stay Crafty with Hero Arts - June Challenge

I am back with another card for our current challenge over on A Blog Named Hero. Our theme for the month of July is Saturday in the Park. Of course you always see flowers in the park, so thats what I went with. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base, a panel of white cardstock cut to the same size to stamp the greeting which I embossed in gold and a panel of Arctic cardstock in which I cut down with the Pointed Arches Infinity dies. 

The flowers and butterfly are from the Special Day Butterfly Bundle.  I stamped them on a seperate piece of cardstock, colored them using Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating die and also cut them apart so I could add them where I wanted them.  

To play along for a chance to win a $50 giftcard, upload your project using the theme over on the Hero Arts blog.

Sending Sunshine

I am sharing this card over on Instagram for the Sending Sunshine Instagram hop that I participate in each month. The premise of this hop is to send out cards of encouragement to friends and family that you know are struggling. Life is hard so be kind. 

To make this card, I used the Snailed It card kit by Taylored Expressions. I created the snail and the little flowers using a stamp/stencil combo and then used a die to cut out all the pieces. The greeting is actually a panel that is meant to be used on the inside but I wanted it to be the focus so i cut it down and added it to the front of the card. 

MSP Team Tuesday

I am up on the My Sweet Petunia blog sharing this card today. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 crd base, a Pebble panel and a white panel. Starting with the white panel, I laid it on a Sticky Mat inside the Original MISTI  then stamped the floral image. I used stencils to color it, thus the reason I need a Sticky Mat. The colors I used for the flower are Wildberry, Plumberry and Fig. I love this color combo for a floral. For the leaves I used Avocado and Pistachio.  Next I cut out the image using coordinating dies and used some dies from Pinkfresh Studio to create the frame.

I ran the Pebble panel through the die cutting machine using the Basket Weave card front plate. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with the coordinating die and added it to the front. 

Gone Fishing

Gone fishing with the birthday card for the hubs whose birthday is next month and he loves to fish. This set by Dare 2B Artzy makes the perfect birthday card for him.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut to the same size. I stamped the images, colored them using OLO markers and then cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I used a stencil mask to create the land/water for the background. 

I finished the card by stamping the sentiment and adding a few highlights with a white gel pen. 

June ProCraftinators Club Hop

I am participating today in the ProCraftinators Club Instagram hop with this card.  This is a group of crafters who have  signed up for classes or events from various companies and have yet to play with the products from those events.

My card is made from some products that were included in this years spring Crop & Create in March. The class was Magic Meadow by Scrapbook.com. There were no baby cards in this class but the little deer reminded me of a baby so I created a baby card. All products are from Scrapbook.com except the sentiment. The welcome and the die are by Simon Says Stamp.
