One of a Kind Patriot

Happy Flag Day! I tried a new paper craft challenge called Pile it on. Super cute idea to try and combine as many challenges as possible into one project. I used some very old patterned paper from a old CK stack. The butterfly stamp and die from Reverse Confetti I used for the CAS on Sunday challenge. The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches blog. I missed posting for this challenge, but wanted to still give credit. I used the color challenge from The Paper Players.

CAS Butterfly

Have you ever started a project and then realized you don't have one of the tools you thought you did? Well, I had started a challenge card and then realized I didn't have the stamp set I thought I bought. So I had to dust of the cobwebs on the creative part of my brain to finish this card. The card I made today actually covers four challenges. I was able to use more of my Jillibean Soup patterned card stock along with one of my favorite dies from Reverse Confetti. I wanted to use the coordinating stamp for the butterfly die, but alas, it was not a purchase:-( Instead, I pulled out an old Stampin' Up background stamp, Fine Lace, and spritzed on some glimmer mist. The sketch is from Sunday Stamps with additional inspiration coming from Clean and Simple on Sunday, The Paper Players, and Simon Says Stamp challenges.

You Make Me Smile

G'day crafters! Can you tell I'm settling into this Aussie lingo;-) Still haven't lived here long enough to leave the hard Chicago accent behind,  but I catch myself using quite a bit of Aussie slang when I talk.

Today I "whipped" up a card for a few challenges. Couldn't resist when I saw the Cupcake Inspirations challenge. Had to use my new kit stamps! I also used Simon Says Stamp! Card Exchanging Friends stamp and die set, Echo Park Country Drive paper pad, Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder, thread, Wink of Stella.

Challenges Entered

March Card Kit cards

G'day crafters!

Here are a few cards I made from Catchy Crafts March kit. There are sections on some of the cards I left unfinished so I could add a banner/tag sentiment later. I still have so much leftover from the kit I could make some extras. So, you may see some of the similar stamps and cs on some challenge cards shortly:-) The card stock is from the DCWV Lemon Flower stack and the stamps are from jillibean soup chilled cucumber soup set. The heart  in the "Love you more" stamp is colored in with green marker, Wink of Stella, and Glossy Accents. This helps to add sparkle and dimension to a relatively flat card.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Paper Playtime Challenge #3

Janis' theme for Challenge #3 is RED, WHITE, & BLUE in honor of Flag Day this week. My submission is a card using DCWV Summer Stack paper and the butterfly diecut from Gypsy Wanderings. This is the first time I have used my Gypsy to cut on my CE and I have to say it was very slick. I need to get used to such a small screen but it is more convenient than DS.
