A card made from scraps

I was tidying up my scraps yesterday and these four colors together spoke to me and said, "make a card!" And so I did. :)






Colors: PTI Raspberry Fizz, Bazzill Card Shoppe Easter Grass, PTI Enchanted Evening, PTI Hawaiian Shores. Dies are PTI.

Cure for the Monday Blues #31

Just popping in to join Taheerah's Cure for the Monday Blues challenge #31. I loved how cheery and bright the inspiration photo was and the bedding inspired me right away to use Papertrey's Mehndi Medallion stamp set.

Here's the inspiration photo.

And here's my take on it...


I heat embossed the Mehndi Medallion in white all over the front of the card. Then I blended some Distress Ink (Mustard Seed) over it.


I add a thin strip of pink stripe paper along with a sentiment (Papertrey Think Big) and then inked the edges with some green ink.

Enjoy your day!

SAF 1960 rad ad

Well, I didn't have much that would work for the 1960s era either. But, I found these flowers from Beautiful Blooms and thought they looked groovy and could fit right in.

I tried to stick to the colors Erin used and the negative die cuts and the off center mat. I dunno. The card is cute enough but it doesn't really scream 1960.

SAF project - 1920 bling

I didn't buy the SAF kit so I looked through my stash to see if something else could work for the 1920s era. That's when I stumbled upon the dragonfly from Happy Trails. I think that image was used a lot in brooches, hair pins, Tiffany lamps and the like in the 1920s. I die cut it from clear cardstock and then blinged the heck out of it! :)

Stamp-a-faire projects - Timer Challenge #2

My second card I made for the timer challenge at Papertrey Ink Stamp-a-faire. This took just shy of 11 minutes.

Stamp-a-faire 2014 projects - Timer Challenge #1

We had lots of soccer this past weekend but I was able to sneak in a few projects from Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire event.

Timer Challenge #1:
About 10 minutes for this one. It took me the longest to decide on a card base color!

MIM 175: partial die cut borders

I had such fun whipping up this card for this week's Make It Monday challenge. Danielle challenged us to use a shape die and do a partial die cut on the edge to create a border. I chose to use the teapot from Tea for Two stamp set. The sentiment is from another old set Everyday Button Bits. A couple oldies but goodies! The patterned paper is from October Afternoon. The card is just a small 4 x 4".







Thanks for stopping in,
