Paper Funday October 2024 Challenge

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!  It's a new monthly challenge at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog, the theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist of Autumn Colors.  For my card, I've went with the Twist theme, as Autumn is my favorite season.

I've used a Reverse Confetti Stamp and Coordinating die set, that was part of the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Collaboration a couple years ago.  The image was stamped on Tim Holtz watercolor paper and painted using Gansai Tambi watercolors.  The focal image was cut using the coordinating die and popped on foam for dimension.

The patterned papers are from the "Welcome Fall" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella.  The sentiment is a cut apart from the same paper pad, and some linen thread has been added for texture.  We hope you'll join us at the challenge this month, please stop by and see what the team has created.  You may be inspired to get creating for Autumn.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Paper Funday Challenge #48 - Holiday Time

Hello and Happy 1st Wednesday of December!  Today signals a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  The challenges are Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist and this month, the Twist is Holiday Time.

For my team project, I decided to use the optional Twist of Holiday Time.  And I've used yet another Stamptember Collab set; the Simon Says Stamp and Reverse Confetti "Fa La La Trees" stamp set.  

This is a layering stamp set with 4 different tree patterns.  The sentiments are also large and in charge (which I love).  Purple and Gold are pretty together at holiday time so I had to go with a purple tree. 

Speaking of a purple tree, I remember as a child we had a Silver Tree that had a spinning wheel that sat below it.  The wheel had a kaleidoscope of colored panels that a light bulb shown through and projected those colors on the tree.  Just a little memory there....

I've kept this card design sweet and simple,  I've stamped the tree and heat embossed the sentiment over top.  I've die cut a star out of glitter card, popped on craft foam, splattered the panel with gold watercolor paint and mounted the focal panel on a gold mirror card mat.  That completes this card!

Please visit us at The Paper Funday Challenge and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Reverse Confetti Autumn Blessings

Hi Friends and Happy Thursday!  Today I'm sharing a card created with the most recent Reverse Confetti and Simon Says Stamp Collab Stamp set - Autumn Blessings.  This was a Stamptember purchase and there are coordinating dies.

I've colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and die cut with the coordinating die.  The papers are from the Echo Park "Celebrate Autumn" 6x6 paper pad, the polka dot strip is a snippet from my stash.  

I've popped the focal image on craft foam for dimension and stamped the sentiment; which is from the same stamp set, using Catherine Pooler "Icing on the Cake" dark brown ink.  For the finishing touch, I've added golden sequins for that bit of sparkle and shine I love.

A new feature I will share from time to time will be a Manicure of the Day.  I'm an Independent Color Street Stylist and trying to build my business.  In case you're not familiar with Color Street, they are 100% nail polish strips that enable you to have a manicure in minutes.  If you would like to see what Color Street has to offer, click on the Manicure picture and you will be taken to my shop.  If you would like a FREE sample, please fill out the Sample Request Form HERE.  Any questions, I'm delighted to answer!  Thanks in advance for Supporting my small business!

What a Gorgeous Manicure!

Thanks for stopping by and reading through my post today.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
