Wedding Card Box

I'm back today with another entry for the Simon Monday Challenge~Make the Cut. :)

I created a card holder box for a daughter of a dear friend of mine to use at her upcoming wedding. I used Spellbinders Blossom dies to create the fun burlap and lace flowers to add to the front of the box. I simply ran them through my Big Shot die cut machine to make the cuts and layered everything together.   

This is a shot of the complete box.  It is a bit blurry because I took the picture with my phone, also I touched the glitter on the H and knocked some off, so now I have some touch up to do before I give it to the bride. :p

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello~

Today I have a card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge~Make the Cut.  We are challenged to use any kind of die cut or punch this week.

I used the Hexagon die from PTI to create my honeycomb for my card. I die cut white card stock and then I sponged on Versa Magic thatched straw chalk ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. 

I also embossed the hearts and sentiment using white embossing powder to help them stand out on the black cs. 

I then stamped the bee from Paper Smooches, cut him out with my scissors and popped him up with foam squares. 

 Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day~Stacy

Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit

Hi there~

I received my Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit this weekend and I just had to break it out and create a few cards!

I love all the goodies included this month but the stencil was a bit of a challenge.  I decided to ink it with pigment ink and emboss using glitter embossing powder. It turned out really cool, but it was difficult to photograph. :(

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hi there~

I had a late start with card camp this week so today my post is a catch up. :) 

For my first card I choose to try a circle card from the sketches while following the color combo for the week.

I choose a baby card today because this weekend we received the fabulous news that we will become first time grandparents come January!! While I am still adjusting to the idea it is fun to create with some of my baby themed supplies. :)

Paper: Bundle of Joy(Echo Park)

Stamps: Spookalicious (Paper Smooches), You can do anything (Simon Says Stamp)

Ink: Copic Markers, Rich Cocoa (Memento), Versa Mark

For my day 2 card I wanted to try the resist watercolor technique. I loved it, I need to keep my watercolor paper handy to do this more often. :)

Supplies:
Paper: Watercolor paper
Stamps: Flower Fusion #2 and Think Big Favorites # 3(Papertrey Ink)
Ink: CTMH, Versa Mark

Summer Card Camp 2 online class that is, over at Online Card Classes.  This is my first time ever taking an online class and today is only day one, but I am really enjoying it.  

I have a card today using Week 1 colors and Sketch #1.  

Today Jennifer shared how to create a banner and stamp a greeting along each side to create a chevron look.  I loved this idea so much I wanted to try it for myself.  I had so much fun with this card, I am sure I will be using this technique over and over.:)
