It's the start of another Fusion Challenge! Do you love yellow and black and flowers?? Well this is th one for you then. Or how about that fun sketch with all the layers and textures you could add?!?!

Just go right HERE to play along.

I used the flowers and the colors as the inspiration for my card. I created and a watercolored background and stamped a black flower from Sweet Stamp Shop in the center. Using my watercolor brush, I blurred the lines of the flower. I stamped a sentiment and added some black splatter and little gemmies to top it off.

So just in case, here are the rules:

PROCEDURES:
1. Play with just the sketch challenge.
2. Play with just the inspiration photo challenge.
3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.
4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.
5. Please read the other considerations on the Our Rules Page before playing along.

Ok now on to more inspiration from the rest of the fusion girls:

Some Of My Favorite Things

Hey everyone, I thought I would just pop in real quick and show you a card I made. I have had a rough week and didn't get a whole lot of crafting done,  but I did manage to still work on a few things one of them being this fun little birthday card.

I pretty much pulled all my favorite things to craft with and compiled them onto one card! Here is a quick little run down of what some of my favorite things are. I know you guys are all dying to know lol

1) Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps
2) SRM Stickers
3) Enamel Dots
4) Spray Mists (Heidi Swapp, Dylusions, and Glimmer Mist were used in the making)
5) Kraft Paper
6) October Afternoon Papers
7) Adhesive (of course I have to have that on my list! And that includes a bunch of different kinds: Pop dots, liquid, Scor Tape)

So, nothing like a good birthday card ready to go whenever I need it.

 

I am so happy with how this came out! Here are some of the exact products I used:

Using Stickers With Your Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps

Hey everyone,

 I am back on the blog with Sweet Stamp Shop to show you how easy it is to use your Sweet Stamp Shop stamps to accent your stickers, and if you are anything like me you probably have a TON of stickers just hanging out.  My favorite ones to use are the nice big bold ones, usually dimensional too, you know, the kind that really make a statement! They lend themselves more easily to stamps as well. You can really dress them up and turn maybe a somewhat boring sticker into a masterpiece with just a little stamping. I generally let the sticker inspire me and then find the stamp(s) I want to use to really enhance it. I love how with stamping you don't just have to stamp an image onto a card and call it done, you can stamp and color your images in, you can cut them out, there are just so many possibilities.

Well here is what I did and to see more inspiration head on over HERE to see my blog where I show some other possibilities you could do :)

I had found these FUN holographic stickers from Joann's awhile back and knew they would go perfectly with the Dia De Los Muertos set! And they sure did!

So, I first stamped a bunch of the roses on watercolor paper and colored them in with black and gray, and then fussy cut around all of them. (I wanted to go with a CAS approach to the card so the stamped images and sticker could really stand out.) Using a white background I adhered 2 roses down on either side using the sticker as a guide for the placement I wanted. Then once they were down I adhered the sticker onto the center of the card, then pop dotted two more roses in front of the bottom of the sticker.  Then finished off with Dia De Los Muertos sentiment. Easy huh?!?! AND... I loved how much it came out that I made the companion (the wife :)  ) You know behind every good man is his wife, (well) I think that is the saying lol. If not it should be.

 

 And here they are together. I am so happy with the way they turned out and love them sitting next too each other. Not to mention how fun are holograms anyways?!?!

Here are some fun bonus cards using the Dia De Los Muertos, the Triangle Style, and the Fall Gratitude...

As you can tell I am really getting into the festive spirit. This is always my favorite time of year. I just love all the holidays!!!

Here are the sets that were used on today"s cards:

So how are you loving the CAS? Do you find that you neglect your stickers? Leave me a comment below on how you like to accent your cards, do you find you have a go to...you know like enamel dots, sequins, paint splatters (p.s.-those are all my favorites lol)

Remember the Use What You Have Challenge is still up so if you would like to enter just go HERE!!!

And don't forget to keep adding your projects to our Flikr. We all LOVE to go see what everyone is doing with their Sweet Stamp Shop stamps. :)

Til next time friends,

Challenge Time

Hello Friends :) I played along with a  couple challenges this week.

Here is where I entered my card:

Simon Say's "Emboss It"

CASology "Silhouette" 

colourQ

(although, this was my first time playing along with them and I was unable to find the rules section. I only used 4 of the 5 colors and not really sure if that is "allowed" but I am still entering it in.

Here is my card. I stamped the silhouette couple from Kiss Me set from Sweet Stamp Shop and the feathers and banner are from the Dia De Los Muertos set from Sweet Stamp Shop. The Frame is from Freckled Fawn and the enamel dots are from My Minds Eye.

I embossed the background with the Triangles embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

And just for fun here is another card I made using the the Kiss Me set along with SRM stickers, flowers, pearls, and ribbon.

Here are the sets I used on my cards:

Dia De Los Muertos

Kiss Me

Thanks for stopping in. Will see you soon :)
