{ Card kit Monday–Circles and Triangles–take 2 }

Hi and happy Monday. I have a new card using the brand new Card kit Monday from last week. You can still see the one I made last week { Card kit Monday–Circles and Triangles }.

I do have a process video to go with this card. Did you know that I have a YouTube Channel? You can follow me there. I would love it if you would subscribe and give me a thumbs up if you liked the video.

How about this color combination? It came from Color Throwdown #361. In addition, I used a sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 288. To make the card fit the sketch I had to add a tag. This kit doesn’t have a tag, but if you check out my freebies you will find lots of free stuff there. I used a tag from Bread Tag freebie and I have some more in Pocket with tags freebie. A little flower with a button and some twine. Perfect little card.

When I am getting ready to cut my pieces I usually arrange everything in my Silhouette Studio. As you can see in the photo, I even color all the pieces so I know what colors I need to cut. I import the photo into the program and use my dropper tool to add the custom color. This card came together in less than 10 minutes. I hope you create something with this kit.

Once again, if you make something with the kit please share and let me know. I would love to see. You can download the kit HERE.

Enjoy the video:

{ School inspired layout–Technique Tuesday }

I have a layout on Technique Tuesday blog today, along with some other DT members. The challenge was to use some kind of office/school supply on a layout or a card. Here is my layout and I used a tag, staples and paperclips.

For the background stamping I used Big Timber Outline Lowercase and Big Timber Lowercase stamp sets. I added gesso to the patterned paper background to tone it down a bit and for the letters to stand out.

I inked the full stamp set while still on the sheet and used it as a stamping block. That particular set was still new, and the stamps in their original places. I used the matching stamp set to stamp over some of the letters.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

On another note, my Etsy shop is open again if you would like to take a look. Have a great Thursday!

{ Card kit Monday–Circles and Triangles }

Hello and happy Monday! I have a brand new kit for you today! I planned on doing a video, but after I cut all the pieces, I totally forgot. So no video this time. When I make my “take 2” version I will film a video. This is a card kit, but you can use it on a layout or any other project you choose. The files can be made bigger or smaller as needed.

Here is what I created today.

This kit comes with two circles and three circles. You can size them to whatever size you want. For this card I cut several different sized of each and ended up using 3 total. I like to cut things from white cardstock since I can change it to any color I want. For the yellow one I used color shine and the black one is cut from cardstock.
The tag I colored with yellow watercolor crayon and stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday Thank you stamp set.  I added a little sewing thread to the mix and a vellum butterfly that I had laying around. You could easily cut a butterfly from Just For Your card kit.
This is super easy to play with and it came together really fast.

Let me know if you have any questions. If you make something with the kit please share and let me know. I would love to see.

Here is a layout I created.

I die cut the tags from Little Labels and stamped the frames and sentiments from Random Thoughts stamp set. I layered them all on the bottom, under the photo. Seriously, look at that photo of Alex. This is what I get most of the time from him.

I created a background by stamping Garden of Life by Cath Edvalson stamp set in two different color. I die cut the flower and the sentiment from gold cardstock using Garden Flowers. The flower is colored with watercolor crayons.

Have a great Saturday!

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Happy Haunting (Halloween) }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Happy Haunting (Halloween).

Here is my card.

I am using brand new, never before used stamps and dies on this card: Eat Candy Corn stamp set and Candy Corn die. How adorable is this die?  I love candy corn, like love it so much. I had to make a card with it.
For the orange background I smeared orange Faber-Castell Gelato and water. I stamped the Candy Cane Stripes on cardstock and cut it into a banner. I only partially inked the stamp and wanted the banner to look like that, distressed. The banner is popped up with 3D Foam Adhesive from Therm O Web.

I am entering the card to Darnell's NBUS #5 challenge (NBUS badge left sidebar). I have been trying to all week and finally, here it is. Never before used schtuff: Eat Candy Corn stamp set and Candy Corn die.

{ Card kit Monday–Just for you - take 2 }

Hi and happy Monday. I have a new card using the brand new Card kit Monday from last week. Last week I included a process video on how I created the card. Did you know that I have a YouTube Channel? You can follow me there.

I kept all the elements except the print and cut sentiment. I stamped the sentiment on the print and cut tag. The stamp set if from Technique Tuesday.  I trimmed some of the oval since I used a sketch from Fusion challenge and it fit better that way. I added some modeling paste with a stencil to the card base and a brad to the butterfly. Pretty simple and fast.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I used Fusion sketch for this card.

I stamped the background with Starburst Cover-a-card background. Then I stamped the branches with the nest and the bird on watercolor paper and used watercolor crayons to color it all in. Pretty easy and fast. I die cut the scalloped circle that I adhered to the watercolor circle. I splattered pink watercolor crayon over the top. I die cut the banner and stamped it with a sentiment.
