This week on the This or That Instagram Hop, we had to choose between sweet and sour. I chose to make a sweet card using this fun popsicle paper and a sweet sentiment...
Today I'm participating in a Birthday Hop on Instagram for my creative friend Amanda... I hope you'll head over to Instagram to leave her some birthday love!
Once again I wanted to cut in to some of that new paper I bought from Unity... and I chose to do a mini slimline card using an old sketch from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers.
Good morning friends... it's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS...
I tossed around a lot of ideas but then got a delivery of some brand new patterned papers and I really wanted to cut in to them! I chose five different patterns and cut some strips to create this fun patterned card.
Hello friends... this week on the My Favourite Instagram Hop, we are creating birthday cards featuring an animal. I chose to play with this ignored pattern paper in my stash...
There's a fun new clean and simple challenge that starts today at Addicted to CAS...
I almost didn't play in this challenge but then I remembered this cute little fox that I was sent by Michelle V Park Designs. Isn't he adorable? I scrounged through my bin of extras and found the little stitched squares and finished it all off with a simple sentiment.
Good morning friends.... today we are playing cards with "movement" for the Card Clubhouse Instagram Hop. I was honestly going to skip this week because I didn't feel like I had anything in my stash that would work. But then I remembered I can interpret the challenges however I want... it didn't have to be a car or a bike or a card using a wobble or something... instead I did a swinging flip fold card. I found the instructions thanks to Paper Crafting Threads.
I used some beautiful pattern paper for my card front and for the inside panels as well. This is what the card looks like when it's folded flat.
I really should have done a little video of what it looks like when you open it, but some some still photos will have to do... You can see from this photo, that when you open the card, the centre panel flips to show inside as well.
And here's another photo of the opened card.
Happy Thursday, creative friends. It's the end of April and I am looking forward to warmer weather and sunny days. We spent April with warm days that melted all of the snow and then a big dump of snow... lather, rinse and repeat for about 6 weeks.
Time Out Challenges has a photo inspiration challenge for you to play along with this week...
I was inspired by the silhouette idea and I couldn't wait' to play with this gorgeous new die I bought from Love From Lizi a few weeks ago.
There's a fun and spring like colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches... I can't wait to see what you do with these colours!
I will admit that when I first saw these colours, I was very intimidated. I had no idea what to do with them! But then I pulled the cardstock from my stash and saw just how wonderfully the colours went together (I didn't think so from the graphic). I will use this colour combo again, I'm sure!
I forgot I had signed up for this hop... so I had to put something together kind of last minute (well, last minute for me). I usually work at least 10-14 days ahead on my design team requirements and with a week of no-mojo last week, I ended up behind (for me). And then I saw my name on the hop list on Tuesday and I panicked!
So... here is my card for the This or That Instagram Hop... we had to choose between Lambs or Bunnies. I have *nothing* in my stash that is lamb related (other than white cardstock LOL) so I went with bunny. I have some bunny stuff but honestly, I'm kind of over it all at the moment. So instead, I cut two sizes of of a daisy die (one in pink and one in white) and cut out two "ears" from the petals. Lots of stitched layers to add some interest to this super simple card...
