ATSM #493 - Birthdays


Why don't you come join us for the Addicted to Stamps & More! Challenge #493 Birthdays.


I made up a bunch of these for birthday and thank you cards.  It was really fun choosing different colors and inks to create totally different looks.  And, the Lawn Fawn Magic Messages set made it so easy to find the perfect sentiment.  

I'm also chuffed that I used the Magic Iris Floral Wreath Add-On.  It had just been gathering dust as I've not done a Magic Iris card in a looooong time.

ATCAS #283 - Birthday


Not gonna lie, I love how my inspiration card for the latest Addicted to CAS #283 Birthday Challenge came out.


I masked a circle on the card front, sponging it with Catherine Pooler Oh, Boy! and Sand Castle. I then colored up the images with Copics and fussy cut them out.  Should I have added a speech bubble?

CAS on Friday #309 - Things with Wings


Come fly with us over at the CAS on Friday Challenge #309 where we're asking that your creation contain things with wings.

I made a birthday card while experimenting with my MISTI.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics while keeping it in the same position in the MIST.  I then restamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne to really make the lines pop.  I had stamped and cut out the bees using just Memento and you can see how they're not as bold.

ATSM #492 - Christmas


Build your holiday card stash by joining in the Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #492 Christmas.



I joined the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club when I saw these cute skates on offer.  Look at all that detail and so easy to put together!  Frankly, the club membership is a good deal for all you get each month.  And this coming from a person who doesn't like kits and such!

I paired the skates with parts from a gift tag I made a couple of years ago. Of course, I had to add some red glitter glamor.
