Monday Challenges

Hi Everyone,

no, I am not confused, I know its Wednesday, but I am playing in two challenges that have Monday in their name - Make it Monday from Papertrey and The Cure for the Monday Blues from Taheera. 

I am sure Taheera picked that inspiration picture just for me ;) - bright colors, that's just my thing! And then Betsy Veldman over at make it Monday came up with this darling idea of making confetti garlands and I had to combine the challenges.....


All the flowers are from the Papertrey set Beautiful Blooms II. I heat embossed them. The sentiment is also Papertrey - Think Big Favorites. Added a mix of homemade and bought sequins and stringed them up.



I LOVE this card! So cheerful!

I am also linking it with Flashback Friday - Got flowers
The Snippets Playground - use a snippet (sequins)

        Pixies Crafty Workshop

I have another blog post coming up today - day 3 of the STAMPlorations stamp release, so stay tuned!

Heat embossed brilliance, Cornelia. So very smart to gather you posies in one area, super colorful! Love your confetti garland too, like icing on a beautiful cake!

I just love this card. So bright and cheerful and on black. I do love how colour pops when placed on black. It works with quilting too.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the...

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
