Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!!...

Waffle Flower Crafts is joining Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags and today were sharing what we created!

Here's my tag.


I just was having fun with my tag! I started my using the Tag die set. Then used the Willy and Friends stamp/die set and did some coloring. For my present, santa hat and 'part of my sentiment' I used the Christmas stocking stamp/die set. Before adhering my monkey to my tag, I added some stars for my background stars using the Bowtiful stamp set. And after I added my "YOU" to the bottom of my sentiment. Once done, I added my monkey to my tag and finished it off with some twine. Simple, yeah?!...

Merry Christams

Hey y'all! Happy Sunday!
Hope all is well?!!...


Today we have a brand new challenge at CAS on Sunday! With the all holidays right around the corner, this time our challenge is all about Christmas! Fun, yeah?!...


Nothing but a quick and simple card for me! I recently won the Sketchy Christmas stamp set from Precious Remembrance and I couldn't ask for better timing! ;) I used a grey ink for my larger tree and a neon pink ink for my smaller tree. After, I added my sentiment and a wood veneer star. Easy peasy, yeah?!!...

Thank you- floral

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

We're half way through the week, hopefully time will keep flying on by so Friday will quickly be here! Not that I have plans or anything, though I'm just wanting to relax some. ;) Maybe it's just me, but this week just seems extra busy?!...Could just be the weather, too?!...(it's nice in temp. wise, though so cloudy and windy)

Anyhow, today I'm sharing a card I made for the current Little Tangles Challenge!


For some reason, I had a little bit of a hard time trying to come up with something?!...Guess I could have lost some 'mojo' for a minute?! ;) Luckily, I was able to come up with something! After some thinking. And down time. And some more thinking. 



Yep. Originally, I was going to 'build a wreath' out of my die cut pieces (which I'll probably do at some point). But then after placing things on my card and thinking about what I was trying to go for, I decided not to. Instead, I added a single 'strip' of a pink and my sentiment on top of it. After I added my die cut pieces, along with some sequins. I'm still not quiet sure if I'm loving my card or not?!...Though, I don't think it looks bad either. ;) 

I'd love to hear what you think?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by! 
Enjoy your day!

texture

Hey y'all! Happy Thursday, almost Friday!! :)
Hope all is well?!...

Today, I'm swinging on in to share a card I made for the current Virginia's View Challenge!


It's all about texture and well...ladies (and gentlemen) I have some texture on my card! lol ;)


Where do I even begin?!...Not too CAS, now is it?!...I guess I was going with the whole' texture' on my mind and embossing folders kept sticking to me. I have quite a few that I haven't even used and many that just are plain abandoned my me. So, I needed to change that. ;)

I ended up using an embossing folder that my crafty friend Kimberly sent me (thank you again, Kimberly!!). To show off the embossing, I used some inks and went to town 'sponging/rubbing' them on. Once I had the colors and depth I wanted, I added my sentiment/quote.
The embossing itself is quite beautiful, but I still thought it needed something else. So once again, I used that bird image and instead of a 'blue' bird, I went with a 'green' bird. Did some fussy cutting and added it to my card. Normally, I would have been done a long time ago! lol But again, thought it needed more! (Is this really 'me' saying/thinking this?! lol) Needless to say, I went with sequins. And not just 3 or 6 of them...but 15!! Whoa! lol This has got to be a record for me (besides my few shaker cards I've made.). ;)

I'd love to hear what you think?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Hello, Hey (Masking)

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday! Hope you have a great start to the week!! :)

Today, I'm sharing my card at the Waffle Flower Challenge! This time the challenge is all about masking.




Here's what I came up with.




Yep. I had some fun with this! 
What's more fun than some monkeys playing in leaves?!!... ;)

So, being 'masking' is our technique this month I decided to not only showcase the masking but when seeing the leaves in the inspiration photo, I decided to go that route too! Now I'm not gonna lie, I did only start with one monkey playing in the leaves but then after looking at my finished card, I thought two monkeys would be even better. lol Needless to say, I went with two! 

I started by stamping my leaves on post it notes and cutting them out for the masks. After, I stamped my first leaf where I wanted it on my card, placed the mask over it and continued the same process with the rest of my leaves. *Note: You'll wanna leave some empty space to place your monkeys in.* Once done, I did my coloring and added a couple sentiments. 

I'd love to hear what you think?!!...

Have a great week!

Tag it!

Hey y'all!
Happy Sunday!!

We have a brand new challenge at CAS on Sunday! And it's all about using a tag on your card...fun, right?!

Here's what I came up with.


I still have a bunch of kraft cardstock to use, so why not use it now...lol Honestly, doesn't fall just scream to use kraft?!... ;) Or maybe because of my leaves and colors I chose, led me to use the kraft?...lol Anyhow, I kept things fairly easy. I used some new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and dies. Did a little coloring with my leaves, then added some twine and clear 'drops' to finish my card off. I'd love to hear what you think?!...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS on Sunday and see all the DT creations! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!!...Hope to see you there!

Harvest Greetings

Hey y'all!
Happy Friday!!

Today we have a new challenge at CAS-ual Fridays!


Who doesn't love themselves some 'metallic'?!!...
Here's my card.




I kept things simple. I used the new Autumn Blessing stamp set along with the dies. For my leaves I used some watercolor pattern paper I had laying around (certainly, made things easy there. ;)). For  my acorn, I just used some kraft cardstock and a dark brown cardstock. Before adhering everything to my card, I added my sentiment (because we all know, if I would have stamped that crooked, I would of started all over! lol). After, I added some metallic twine and one little metallic gold sequin, along with a couple light pink sequins. Easy, right?!...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS-ual Fridays and see all the DT creations!! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!!...

Hope to see you there! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day and weekend!

Thinking of you

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

I've been a little quiet, besides my scheduled posts. Some kind of nasty stomach bug visited our house a few days ago...seriously, no fun at all!! We've all been resting and are on the mend, thankfully! ;)

With all that being said, I've been trying to catch up on commenting/etc. When I was hopping around in blogland, I came across a few challenges. One being the current Skipping Stones Stamp & Share October Challenge, the other being Addicted to Stamps-Clean and Simple Challenge, and lastly Jennifer McGuire's Share Handmade Kindness Challenge-week 1, which if you haven't checked it out yet, you really should! ;)

3OCTchallenge

week 1


So here's my card. (Which I'm not even sure how I managed to make something...Though, I couldn't stand to be laying down anymore! lol)



I wanted to keep things very clean, yet have some color(s) to stand out against the white. So I chose to do some coloring and a little bit of fussy cutting. Simple, yeah?!...

After thinking about it, I'm going to send my card to my aunt. It's been awhile since I've sent her anything and she just recently moved, so I'm sure this will make her smile. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
