Sunday School Songs Card Set

The girls sing with the choir at our church and they have the most amazing teacher!  I picked up the Sunday School Songs stamp set by Neat and Tangled just so I could make her a special set of cards:

I mixed in a few other fun stamp sets and some sticker sentiments from SRM Stickers for this set.  The papers are from the I Am collection by Simple Stories.  I think they are all from the 6x6 pad :)

I also mixed in a bunch of sequins from different companies!  My favorites right now are the Neat and Tangled ones and the mixed bunches from Lawn Fawn.

I gave the cards to the girls' teacher a few weeks ago and she loved them.  It's so fun to give card sets as gifts to people who use them, isn't it? :)

These were a lot of fun to make- I love how they look all together as a set!  I need to make more like this!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Origami Map Card

Hi!
Hope you are enjoying the holidays!  I am nearly caught up with everything lol!  It was a tough season for me- sooo much going on!  Fun stuff though- don't think I'm trying to complain or anything hee!!

I realized over the weekend that I forgot to post this card last week.  I am playing along with the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge as a guest designer this month.  The challenge is to create a travel themed project and I knew I had to use this awesome Origami Map stamp set- I've been hoarding it since I bought it! lol!  Here's my card:

I stamped the map onto watercolor paper and cut it into a large tag shape.  I watercolored the map with q-tips and tried to use colors I'd find on a real map.  The sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock with Versamark and embossed with white powder.  The brad and patterned papers are from Teresa Collins.

I'm so happy I remembered to post this!  Better late than never I guess... :)  Don't forget to pop over to the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog to check out the travel challenge!  Thanks again for having me!!

Dreams Do Come True Card

Hello!  I'm popping on to share a card I made with my new goodies from the Butterfly Reflections, Ink store- I'm so excited to be guest designing with them this month!  I love the Solstice 6x6 paper pad by Pink Paislee- the patterned papers are so pretty and it just has that fall feel to it without being so themed.  I paired it with the Dreams stamp by Neat and Tangled along with the banner dies and twine by Lawn Fawn:

I started with a piece of the patterned paper and cut it to fit my card front.  I splattered it with gold mist and let it dry.  I diecut the banner out of vellum and stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Staz On ink.  I stamped it again onto some pink patterned paper and cut out around it.  I added it to the banner using foam adhesive.

I wanted the sentiment to stand out a little more so I cut out another piece of vellum to add underneath the banner.  I cut it in a shape that kind of looked like a watercolor blob :)  I wanted it to look like there was white watercolor behind it.  To tell you the truth, I tried many times to actually watercolor the vellum but vellum and watercolor don't seem to mix well!

I adhered the vellum blog onto my card front and then added my banner over the top of it.  I used the Kool Tac Clear Foam Adhesive strategically so you wouldn't see them through the vellum.  I added the twine last, tying it to the left side.  I curled the ends a bit as well by wrapping it around a pencil overnight.

I'm so happy I had the chance to guest design for my favorite online store!  Thanks for having me!!

Stop And Go Blog Hop!

I'm so excited to be hopping along with the Stop and Go Blog Hop today!  My friend Miriam designed this fun stamp set for Neat and Tangled Stamps- she is so creative and I love her concept!  Her stoplight is perfect for so many reasons and I love the sentiments she came up with to go along with it!  

If you haven't come from Taheerah's blog, be sure to pop over and check out what she created.  You can also start at the beginning of the hop and pop over to the Neat and Tangled blog to see what Danielle made.  While you're here though, you might as well look at my card :)

 

I decided to make a collagy sort of card- embellishing the stoplight with a few sequins and some washi tape.  There are two sizes of GO stamps so I used both with green ink to add some color and emphasis to the sentiment.



I had a lot of fun working with this one!  If you haven't hopped through the list of participants yet, be sure to make time to!  It's a very inspiring group and they've made the cutest cards with the Stop And Go set:
