October Instagram Embossing Folder Hop

The theme for this month's Instagram Embossing Folder Hop is Pattern Play.  I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure what this means.

 Therefore, I added color to a card panel before embossing. Once embossed, I swiped more ink over the top.  Seems playful to me 😉

Even if this isn't what they wanted, I am loving this end result!

You can see the rest of the hop HERE.

AAA Card Challenge #326 - Sketch

An easy sketch for sure.

Apparently, I didn't look close enough, and my sentiment is placed differently.  Whoops.  Oh well, I like the balance of my placements.

I used a really old stamp for the background, and a fun gnome stamp. He makes me smile.

A fun sketch = a fun card!

Your turn!  Come on over to AAA Card Challenge #326, and show us your take on this sketch.

CutCardStock Day

I do love this time of year.  Making Christmas cards is my favorite - I actually mail out my creations!

For this card I used the following colored card stock:  Red Wagon, Brilliant White, Hunter Green, Hot Fudge, Ginger Snap, and Gumdrop Green.  

This is an A2 size card.  I just cut the card base down so I could "hang over" the dome.  

I really am quite thrilled with this card. 😀

Just Us Girls Challenge #876 - Stencil Week

It's an anything goes for this stencil week.  I'm good with that!

My card this week is rather busy.  

I used a Tim Holtz stencil; a flower die [inlaid, and I have no idea who's this is], and a layered Hello from Dare 2B Artzy.

Busy or not, I am kinda liking this card.

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #876, and show us how you used a stencil.

STAMPlorations Day

The new trend of ephemera is kinda brilliant.   When you need a fast, easy card - yep, this is the way to go! Shery has some amazing images in the Ephemera Category.  Today I am using a few images of ephemera that can pair with Perfect Pairs; Classic Christmas for the sentiment [*11 images + sentiment stamp is only $10]

Aren't these images just stunning!  The poinsettia - oh yes please!

Like I said, for a 5-10 min creation, use that ephemera!  The end result is beautiful.

See you next week~
