Postage Party July Edition

Today's first card is for the Postage Party hop over on Instagram. This hop is where a group of makers get together and showcase different postage stamps and dies.

This moth the theme was Mixed Media. A lot of makers are terrified of that word, actually its pretty simple. All mixed media is, is using at least two different mediums. I used dye ink that reacts with water and a gold metallic pen.  

Postage Party - June Edition

My card today is for the Postage Party hop over on Instagram and also a birthday card for a sweet friend.

Each month a group of us get together and share our postage creations using a particular theme. The theme this month was emboss resist. The little panel was created using the emboss resist technique with a background stamp from Hero Arts. The background on the large postage stamp is from Taylored Expressions and the friend die is also from Hero Arts. 

Postage Party - April Edition

Today's card is for the postage party Instagram hop.  This is a hop where a group of crafty friends host a hop that uses a specific theme along with postage stamps/stencils/dies. The theme for this month was restrictive. we could not use white, black or any shade of them like cream or gray. 

let me tell ya, this was a challenge. I finally got a card done but it took a minute to come up with an idea. 

To make this card, I started with a Powder side folding A2 card base and a Powder panel cut down with a postage die by Waffle Flower.  I used the butterfly postage collage stencil also by Waffle Flower along with Hydrangea, Rubellite and Mystic Lake inks by Altenew. The greeting is by Taylored Expressions.

Postage Party - December Edition + Christmas Series Day 1

Today I am participating in the Postage Party Insta hop over on Instagram. This month we were to embellish. I used some enamel stickers by Concord & 9th to do that. The little hearts on the houses, snowflake and gingerbread man and I added some dots on the tree. I also added a little shimmer to the snow on the houses but its hard to see in the photograph.

To finish the card, I added an embossed sentiment also by Waffle Flower. 

This one is for Day 4 of my Christmas series.

To make this card I used products from several different companies.  The postage die and postage cost are from Waffle Flower, The sentiments, the star and the nativity silhouette is from Simon Says Stamp. The other silhouettes are Creative Worship Stamps.

My card uses products from Creative Worship Stamps. The florals are from the Bloom With Grace set and the sentiment is from the Lord is Near set.

I used OLO markers to color them.

July Postage Party

This one is for yet another hop on Instagram.  It's the Postage Party hop where a group of crafty friends create a project using postage dies/stamps ect.. Each month has a theme and this month is to use sprays/paste. 

I used a gold spray on this card which is kinda hard to see in the photos.

I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used postage die from the Master Layouts 14, the Post Cards and More stamp set and the Create Friendship stencil all by Gina K Designs. The inks I used also from Gina K Designs are light Lilac, Medium Lilac, Dark Lilac, Honey Mustard, Butterscotch and fresh Asparagus.

The light blue that I used on the blocks is Powder by Concord and 9th, a new favorite of mine.
