The Stickers & Tape Challenge at Moxie's

Hey and welcome back!

I am playing along in the fun challenges at Moxie Fab World and today it is about stickers & tape. So much fun and I am in awe of the gorgeous cards shown at the blog today!

I pulled out my sticker sheets and came up with this card here - using some of the sticker numbers from an older Crate Paper Collection.

The stamped sentiment is perfect for all the numbers scattered to the side, 'cause who is counting, Huh? I am not anymore!! Haha!

(Inspiration came from this graphic on Pinterest)

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts CL661 Its your Day + Hero Arts CL611 Many Birthday Messages

Papers: Hero Arts Layering paper + Bazzill

Other: Crate Paper stickers

I am so inspired by the challenges so far and I can't wait to see the next one! It is so rewarding to use up some of those oldies, isn't it!?

Have a good day/evening and thanks for stopping by!

Ready Made Embellishment Challenge at Moxie's

When I checked into the Moxie Fab World blog today and saw the fabulous cards made with ready made embellishment I was so inspired to make a card! YES! This is just the inspiration I have been waiting for - I actually love the ready made embellishments but I seldom use them, so I really have a lot just laying around. 

I've used some Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane chipboards and paired them up with the knit background stamp from WPlus9 and made this birthday card for a knitting/crocheting crafty friend!

The colors of the chipboard pieces are repeated in the background stamping.

Background stamping made with the wonderful soft hero arts shadow inks!

Some of the chipboards where raised using foam dots.

Supplies:

Stamps: Knit background builders WPlus9, It's your day Hero Arts CL661

Inks: Hero Arts Soft Yellow, Pool & Wet Cement, Memories Dye ink Black

Embellishments: Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane

Other: May Arts silk ribbon, foam adhesive.

Papers: Hero Arts Layering paper Wet Cement, Bazzil Cardshoppe

Well, I hope you like it - be sure to take a look at the Moxie Fab World blog to see the stunning cards, which inspired me! Maybe you want to play along in the challenge, too? I can't wait to check in tomorrow to see, what's up!

Have fun!

{ birds of a feather }...

... is one of the cute text stamps in the Love This set by Hero Arts & Studio Calico.  I really like all the small stamps in the set. So cute!

I just bought the set today and wanted to make a few cards.

The little stamps in this set complements misting and splatters well, I think. I used some Perfect pearls mist spray and some OA mist sprays...

The circle in the set stamps also a heart and a cloud - but it is easily masked off.

The background stamping was made by mounting several tiny stamps together on one block.

Supplies: 

Stamps: Hero Arts /Studio Calico 331479

Inks: Hero Arts Shadow inks fresh peach, wet cement, orange soda, memories black dye ink.

Papers: Hero Arts layering paper, Bazzill.

Mists: Ranger & OA.

Have a great weekend!

Autumn Mood

The little squirrel from Lawn Fawns Critters in the Burbs is so cute.

Eventhough the acorns seems a bit of out proportions for the tree I just couldn't help making them fell from the tree and making the squirrel "swing" for them ;)

I love that Lawn Fawn set - one of my faves! 

This time of the year I just love canning everything from the garden. Finding new recipes and still making the good old classic. This pumkin is not homegrown - but I had to make a few sweet pickled pumkins with vanilla & ginger. Yum!  - (stamps from MFT)

And today I picked our only 4 pears (!) - yes what a poor harvest this year! But I made 4 little jars with a great new recipe I found - with pear jam with chilis, ginger and vanilla. This is so good ! I can't wait to use this with lovely cheese! Yum!

Have a great September Sunday!

Hello

A few weeks ago the App Timehop showed me a year old post where I used shrink plastic ;) I really felt like trying that out again - so much fun! So I made a few feathers to use as embellishments on future projects.

One of them I used on this card below. I stamped the background also using one of the feather stamps (again from WPlus9) - I used Hero Arts shadow ink (wet cement) and for the focal point of the card, I used some older My Mind's Eye chipboard letters in one of my favorite colors!

Here is a close up of the shrinked stamped feather :) A few of the chipboards letters were raised for some added interest, using foam adhesive.  For the card base, I used Hero Arts Wet Cement layering paper.

If you don't know the app Timehop - I urge you to take a look - it is so much fun to be reminded of the past - through daily time jumps. The App shows you each day photos taken exactly 1 year ago , 2 years ago, 3 years ago... on that same date! Have fun! :-)

Have a great day/evening!
