You!

Stars are really my favorite and I've had those  Studio Calico wood veneer stars for ages and as I was  packing for the scrap club last week, I found them ! I started on this card that evening & finished it today! ;)



Love that wood stamp which is from the WPlus9 dockside backgrounds.The tiny star background is this one from Hero Arts.



Supplies:
Stamps: Dockside Backgrounds, Wplus9, Tiny Stars Background Hero Arts, Sundrifter Love this Hero Arts.
Inks: Hero Arts shadow inks (navy, cup o joe, wet cement)
Other: Wood veener stars Studio Calico, Lawn Fawn Twine, tag from a local supermarket.


It may not be the most innovative way to use wood veneer - but I really like how the wooden stars complement the stamped stars ;))

Have a fantastic weekend!

Nutty for you...

Just sharing a Paper Smooches card I made this evening at the scrap club! I used a favorite PS stamp set called "Falling for you".  Love this set for fall cards.


Usually I don't bring so much stuff to the club, so I chose to paperpiece the stamped images.
The papers are from an older My Mind's Eye paper pad. The tag used for the center piece, is a die from MFT.

{ All that glitter }

This is actually my 2nd post for today. See the previous one here.  

I am participating in the challenge "All That Glitters is Gold Challenge in the Moxie Fab World".

I was very much inspired by this photo here when I created my cards as you can see below.


I took the Hero Arts International skyline wood stamp off the block and mounted in a curve on a stamp press.  On my first card I stamped the skyline with Hero Arts gold shadow ink first - then masked off the stamped piece and embossed the bottom part with some gold Zing embossing powder. 


The sentiment is also from Hero Arts. From the Sparkle Birthday set.  Perfect, huh?! ;-)



The other card is reversed - embossing the skyline and coloring in the bottom part with that same golden shadow ink from the first card.  For this one I added some neon ribbon - just for fun!


 Some close up on some details on both cards. Which one is your favorite? 



Thanks for stopping by today for some golden glitter fun! 

A GREAT sunday to you all!!

A Hero Arts Scramble Card

Last night after cleaning up my scrap desk, I saw that there was another Hero Arts Scramble at Flickr. I haven't participated in one in a long time - this time it was Laura who challenged us to make a shaped card (see all of them here).

Mine came together really fast - I made a cloud shape tag a while ago so I had the idea of using the same shape for my card.  The background is the new tiny stars background stamp from Hero Arts. I LOVE this - so very cute and so versatile, too.


Two cloud shapes were put together - scoring the backside at the top.


I made the moon by coloring a piece of paper with soft yellow shadow ink and punching the shape with a circle punch. I distressed the edges with butterbar shadow ink.


Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts Howl are you CL675, Hero Arts Tiny Stars background CG616.
Inks: Hero Arts shadow inks (soft yellow, butterbar, orange soda, soft pool & cup o'joe).

A monochromatic moment with Lawnscaping

Lawnscaping has a fun challenge with a monochromatic theme. I am playing along with my new Lawn Fawn Into the Woods set :-)

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjWdKOLWcFJv6fB2GIX42yCAHoHmVj9aRpeG0mpirzl6FKg5MWn1HGLjbXPXxzRCeMPM1_8sHIdFVDUq4ooC_iFL9qyYBTGG3rnMn7_LaSqGTMKck7v10p7YmZxQXD5EVBl-W_m05vvJ8/s1600/993030_10152864507790313_1580428368_n.jpg



I used prisma colored pencils for the light coloring and some Hero Arts Cup'O Joe Shadow ink for the stamping.

The Metal, Wood & Cork Challenge at Moxie's

Today I am playing with cork on my card - another card for this week's challenges at Moxie Fab World.

I had the Danish Operation Write Home in mind when I created this card. I think this would make a nice card for someone to send home to a loved one.



The cork element was die cute with a MFT die (set of arrows). The hearts with the SSS Holiday Shapes dies ( small hearts & stars).


Supplies:
Stamps: Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler & Pretty Phrases
Dies: MFT & SSS
Paper: cork, bazzill kraft & cardshoppe.

Today is the last day - sigh! I had so much fun playing along and checking in each day to see new inspirational cards! I plan to play along for the 2 remaining challenges another day  - I was just too busy the last couple of days!

Have a great weekend & thanks for stopping by!

The Stickers & Tape Challenge at Moxie's - Take 2

This is my 2nd post for today (be sure to scroll down to see the previous post). I just had to make a card using tape also! I love washi tape and I admit, I have a lot! And I use it for a lot of things.

This card is also for the Stickers & Tape Challenge and I am using my washi tape on the die cut piece which is made by an MFT grass die cut. I am using the postive and the negative part to create the "spooky" borders ;)


Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings CL628
Dies: MFT Grass die
Other: MT tape, Doodlebug twine, Hero Arts embossing powder
Paper: Hero Arts layering + bazzill.
 
 Isn't that little ghost so cute? 
 

I was so inspired also by Lisa's chalkboard video on the Hero Arts blog as well so I think this would be fitting for this months challenge here.
