Today I am participating in the Rediscover Your Supplies hop over on Instagram.  I think as crafters we all have supplies that we forget about.The purpose of this hop is to look through your supplies and find something that you haven't used because you forgot about it. This card was made using some supplies from a virtual event I attended back a couple years ago. the theme of this month is Masculine so i made a masculine birthday card. 
To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel. I used the Seaside Post stamp, stencil and dies which are actually available in the C9 shop now. 










Thank You C9


Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS. Sue is our hostess and she chose the code word Thank You



Last weekend I attended Summer Camp with Concord & 9th. I have attended the summer camp event every year since it started and Concord & 9th does not disappoint. This card is based on a card that Laura Bassen created using the Garden of Gratitude products. Unfortunately these products are exclusive to camp but they have plenty of other great products. You should check them out.
To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a powder panel. I stamped the "thank you" in Peacock ink and then die cut the leaves out of Eucalyptus, Juniper and Rainforest. The buds were cut out of Nectar cardstock, and the tiny flowers are cut out of Ballet Slipper. The flowers were cut out of White and I ink blended them with Briar Rose and Plumberry, Sunflower and Sorbet and left a couple of them white and used Sunflower for the centers.
