Friendship?

Hi y'all! 
Happy Wednesday! Can you believe we're in November already?!...

Today, I'm swinging in to play along with Amy Tsuruta and her Woodblock Wednesday feature. It's all about using your stash of woodblock stamps and having fun. :) 


So without further ado, here is my card...


I kept things simple for this card. I used a woodblock stamp that I had all the way back from 2011, that I never even used! Yikes! (lol) Though, I'm happy I finally put it to use! :) 

Well, that's all for me! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon! 

P.S.
Do you happen to have this stamp?...I can't remember who makes it...I want to say Stampin' Up but I'm uncertain. I do remember it came in a set and in a clear plastic holder. I have searched online but can't seem to come across it. Any help is appreciated! :)

Toss some confetti...

Hi y'all! 

I'm swinging in on my blog, as well as the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a fun and simple card, using Catherine Pooler Designs Everybody Say Happy Sentiments. I don't know about you, but who doesn't always need a birthday card? Sometimes I think I have a birthday card, only to realize I don't or that the one card I do have doesn't fit for that person.  So if you're like me and need a quick and easy card, this is for you! With that said, here is my card. 


Let's make a card! Follow the steps below to make this fun card. 

1. You'll need white cardstock (sized slightly smaller than an A2 or 4" x 5 1/4") and some inks. In this case, I used Catherine Pooler inks. The colors I chose were Bellini, Coral Cabana, and Samba. 

2. You'll want to hold your piece of cardstock, place the ink pad near the edge of the cardstock and push down slightly as you're pulling towards you, lifting up the ink pad when the desired 'streak' is achieved. Repeat this with all the colors, slightly overlapping each color. 


3. Hot foiling time! I used Spellbinders Yana's Blooms Collection-Splatter Sentiments foil plates with Gold Glimmer Hot Foil. Have fun with the plates, place the splatters where you like, so it resembles confetti. 

4. Stamp on the sentiment from Catherine Pooler-Everybody Say Happy Sentiments. As you can see, I chose to use the 'Toss some confetti in the air and celebrate!' sentiment and stamped it in black ink. 


5. Lastly, you'll want to make a card base using white cardstock and add some foam squares on the back of the stamped panel and then add it to your base card. 

6. You made this card! 



Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon!

Hi

Hi y'all! 

Happy Sunday, hope you're enjoying your day?! :)

I'm swinging in today with a card for the current and final CASology challenge, a little bittersweet. I've been playing along with the CASology challenge for years and even had the chance of being a guest a few times or so. I am sad to see this will be the last challenge. Though, I wish nothing but the best for Melissa and her new adventures! 



So without further ado, here is my card for the challenge...

Simple, right?...I think the 'cozy' part comes in with the scarf. ;) I actually pulled out some Altenew markers I've had for quite some time, not sure why I haven't used them much? But I sure do enjoy them! :) After coloring, I used a couple letter dies to spell 'hi' and added it to my card. That's it. Easy peasy, right?!...

Thank you CASology, the design team, and Melissa for all the years of fun! 

That's all for me. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day and see you soon! :)

You are BEARY special

Hi y'all! 

Happy Friday, yay! :) 

I'm swinging in to share a 'just for fun card', no challenges or DT work...pure fun. So without further ado, here's my card...

This was such a fun and easy card to make. I chose to only color three bears from the stamp set and then easily used a circle die to 'cut' each bear out. After, I popped them into the circles on the card and that's pretty much it. I did add a hint of patterned paper for a mat and before adhering things down. To finish things off, I added a sentiment on a little piece of cardstock (and made it into a banner) and added a touch of burlap twine and a little red heart. Simple and sweet, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon! :)

Thank Mew

Hi y'all! 

Happy Thursday, hope all is well?!... :) 

Today, I'm swinging in to share a 'just for fun' card, no challenges or DT work...just fun. Well, and using the never ending pile of never been used goodies. ;) 

Without further ado, here is my card...

Cute, yeah?!...I've been picking up some MFT (My Favorite Things) sets here and there when I can and this was one of the sets I got.

I did some coloring with colored pencils and then chose a piece of patterned paper for the background, along with making a 'frame'. After I just put things together and ta-da...card, finished. :) Okay, I did add a touch of gems, too! ;) So what do you think?!...

That's all for me.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon! :)
