Luck - Inspired By Challenge

 Hello!  I am sharing a card I made for my sister's birthday this month!   She loves vintage so I think she will love this card.  Since her birthday is the day after St Patrick's Day, I always try to incorporate into her birthday cards a little 4 leaf clover!  Everyone can use some additional LUCK on their birthday, especially if they get some lottery scratch offs! :-) 


I used stamps and dies from The Greetery!   I added some ribbon and Tim Holtz bling to the bow! 






Check out the challenge and come play along!

Inspired By Pink Hot Chocolate!

 The Inspired By Challenge team is pairing up with the Coffee Loving Papercrafters this week featuring the Sweet Valentine Wishes printables in Laurel's Etsy shop! 





I created a card and tag to add to a bag filled with hot chocolate bombs!   These projects were so easy to create with the printables Sweet Valentine Wishes!  I actually had another tag but it must have looked very yummy as my pup decided to snag it before I could get a photograph!  Needless to say, he thoroughly enjoyed it! 


I used a tag die that I had in my stash and created this tag adding some details with other die cuts from my stash.  The mug, sentiment and background paper is all from the Sweet Valentine Wishes printable! 


Here is a card I created with some of the other images from the collection.  The panel, sentiment and background images are from the collection.  I just added the heart strip die cut and some die to add more details to the card.   

I hope that you get a chance to play along with us this week and check out Laurel's Etsy shop and the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Facebook page!

Whimsy Stamps - XOXO

Hello!  I am popping in to share a Valentine's card using Whimsy Stamps Monster Moods stamp set along with the FaDoodle Hearts stamp set.   I started by ink blending a slimline panel with pink, orange and yellow inks.  I then die cut the panel with the Slimline Card Builder die.  I then stamped several of the heart images with Versafine Onyx Black ink.   


I die cut a second panel with the Revealers 2 Die set.  I stamped the images from Monster Moods stamp set.  I colored my images with Copic markers.  I die cut the images out with the matching Monster Moods die set.   The sentiment is from the FaDoodles Heart stamps set.  I stamped and embossed these with white embossing powder on black cardstock.   I am playing along with this week's Inspired By Challenge with the inspiration photo and card sketch!   Check out more about the weekly challenge here! 





I then splattered the inked panel with white and black paint.  Once I assembled the card, I added some crystal jewels to finish it off!   


Check out these products on Whimsy Stamps!   I hope you have a wonderful day.  *Affiliate link used at no extra cost to you!

Inspired By Challenge - Mittens

 Hello!  I am sharing a card that I created for the Inspired By Challenge - IB271.   You can join this weekly challenge by using the weekly inspiration photo or sketch!  I looked through my stamping supplies because I knew I had an older mitten set that was perfect and I found it!  As I was going through my older stamp and dies, I realized that my craft room is a little like my closet.  I have some really comfortable items that are old and familiar and some that were a passing fad.  


I decided to pull out some other things that I had not used in quite a while....patterned paper, my sewing machine and off white cardstock!  I combined it with a newer product from The Greetery called Embroidered Blooms die.   The other products are older and likely not available anymore but they came in handy for this challenge!  




Mittens and sentiment are from MFT Cozy Mittens stamp and coordinating die
Background stamp is La-La Land Crafts Sweater Weather
Basic Grey paper pad - Persimmon
My small sewing machine that I use for papercrafts or cards only 
and finally, 
Embroidered Blooms Die from The Greetry


I hope that you find some time to play along with the Inspired By Challenge!   You can check out the challenge here!
