Gold Band Lily

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today is a quick post sharing a card I've created using the "new to me"  Gold Band Lily Layering Die Set from Altenew. I love layering die sets because they make such a dimensional focal and design statement on any project.

My design is inspired by Jenny Colacicco of the Altenew Design Team.  She's used glitter card in some of her layering designs so I've die cut the floral pieces using colored card, white glitter card and gold glitter fun foam.  Everything was layered according to the guide on the back of the packaging and set aside so I could prepare the background panel.

To give an otherwise plain white panel some interest, I've embossed using the Mod Squares 3-D Embossing Folder by Altenew.  I have this washi tape that has a fabric feel to it and I like Polka-dots anytime so I've attached a strip of the washi to the panel.  

The sentiment is from the new Craft Your Life Project Kit: Feathered Lilies and was heat embossed using fine detail white powder.  

I've popped the floral and sentiment on craft foam and adhered to the panel using liquid adhesive.  Lastly, clear sequins were added for sparkle.  That completes my share for today. 

Thanks for your visit and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Have a Lovely Day

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Today's make and share is a quick one featuring a stamped image from the stamp set included in the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month for April 2021.  The kit is titled Sincerely Yours and contains lots of great die cuts, ephemera, dies, cardstock, sequins, foam pads, double sided tape and a stamp set.

I wanted to keep the design fairly CAS so I stamped the image and colored very basically with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I then Die Cut with a small postage stamp die and mounted the image on foam pads.  I layed down some washi tape from my stash, stamped the sentiment and cut with a circle die, adhered to a piece of torn vellum.  Using my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, added some mini staples, popped on foam pads and added to the card with sequins for shine.  Finishing up, I mounted the entire panel on double sided fun foam and placed on the card base.  

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - July Challenge

Hello everyone and Happy 4th of July!  It's been a quick first half of the year and it's been very HOT here in Florida!  The humidity is unbearable so all the more reason to stay inside and craft or in the pool floating around.

Today begins a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  This month the challenge has a dual theme:  Patriotic and/or Summertime.

I chose to create projects for both themes.  My first card is an Easel Card with a Patriotic Theme.  I used some dies to cut out the flowers and stars, an embossing folder for the flower centers, some Washi tape and digital paper. 

My second project was created with the Summertime theme.  I colored up an image from Bugaboo Stamps, die cut the sentiment, the Vellum background and the white mat with the image.  Otherwise I kept it pretty simple.  I love Sunflowers and they just sing Summer to me!

Please join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The Challenge has a lovely Sponsor  offering a great prize.  We would love to have you play along and we hope to unspire your crafting.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue

Hello Crafty Friends!  I hope all is well with you and your weekend was spectacular!

I'll be sharing some patriotic projects this week in honor of the 4th of July here in the USA.  My card today is a nice cup of coffee, tea or whatever you like.  Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue.

This card is a standard A2 size ( 4.25" x 5.5") and the base is 110 lb. Neenah White cardstock.  I used some polka dot washi tape and some Crystal Nuvo Drops for accenting along with some tiny red gems.  I colored the coffee cup image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers and the Patriotic Coffee Cup image is from Verve Stamps.  The Verve Stamp store is closing shop so everything is marked at 55% off regular prices.

Thanks for stopping in today and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Washi Wonders

Hello Everyone!  Hope you are doing well.

Today begins another weekly challenge at Creative Knockouts.  The challenge this week is to use Washi Tape in your design.

I used a sweet image of Lily from Crafty Sentiments Designs; who is this week's challenge sponsor. 

I created an Easel card using pieces of Washi Tape here and there.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the heart stopper is a handcrafted embellishment I made using the card from a cereal box.  

I hope you will stop by Creative Knockouts and enter your creation in a chance of winning some great images from Crafty Sentiments Designs.  See You There!

Till Next Time, Happy Crafting!
