Many Thanks

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week!

I'm up on the Altenew blog today sharing a card using the Doodle Blooms set. I stenciled the background of the card, which may be my new favorite way to make a background. ;) Anyhoo, I hope you check out the post (HERE).

Neat & Tangled and Pinkfresh Blog Hop

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!

          

  

The Neat & Tangled and Pinkfresh Studio teams are having a collaborative blog hop today and tomorrow. If you're hopping along, you should be coming from Amanda's blog.

I received some sweet Pinkfresh Studio supplies including washi tape, stamps, and puffy stickers. Here's my project using products from Pinkfresh with Neat & Tangled stamps:

Okay, I have to admit that I made this card about an hour after traveling for 16 hours with kids and staying up most of the night on a red-eye flight. I was a little brain-drained when I made this card, but I think the freestyle look works for a fun birthday card. ;)

I started by stenciling the stars with embossing paste and adding some splatter. Once they were dry, I used the Pinkfresh Blue and Yellow Ombre washi tape. I stamped the cake from the Neat & Tangled Gifts for You set on a piece of scrap paper and adhered it with the Light Gold washi tape.

Here's a close-up:

See the Punchinella peeking out as a layer? I also stamped and fussy cut one of the balloons in the Gifts for You set, and stitched a line to the sentiment.

For the sentiment, I used the Sparkle and Shine set. I added the Way to Home enamel arrow at the end of the line and scattered some Neat & Tangled sequins. Here's another close-up:

As part of the hop, there will be a $20 prize pack from Pinkfresh and a $20 prize pack from Neat & Tangled. Be sure to comment along the way to enter to win! Here's the full list of today's hop:

You Are Here

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week!

I'm back with another Guest Designer card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. :)

This week's challenge is Stencil-It. The DT and I are using stencils from The Crafter's Workshop, but you can use whatever stencils you have for the challenge.

Here's my card:

I mixed three reinkers into my white Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste. Then, I simply spread the three colors (light to dark seemed to work the best) over the You Are Here stencil. I layered the panel over some papers from the Plus One (still a fave!) and Highline collections.

I almost stamped a sentiment underneath, but decided I could stamp the inside. I was thinking maybe "thank you." Hmmm...what sentiment would you use with the front?

Here's a close-up:
