Celebrate You!



This is my second white on white card today and I'm entering it in the Casology week-183-glitter Challenge and the Less is More Happy-5th-birthday Challenge

Supplies used were:  Glitter paper from The Paper Studio, Celebrate You dies are from Tim Holtz Celebration words, embossing folder is from Cuttlebug, fun foam, stitched rectangle die from My Favorite Things and the stitched circle die is memory box, also added Wink of Stella on the words but it's hard to see the extra shine in the picture.






Congrats!



I struggle with white on white cards, but I wanted to make a couple today - here is the first one I made today.  I'm entering it into the Die Cut Divas Love Marriage and Anniversary ChallengeCasology week-183-glitter Challenge and the Less is More Happy-5th-birthday Challenge

Here are the supplies I used:  My Favorite Things fancy flourish die, and their pierced rectangle dies, chevron embossing folder from Darice for top layer, embossing folder from We R Memories Next Level for second layer, fun foam,  and glitter paper behind negative flourish cut is from The Paper Studio.  Sentiment is from the StampTV "Made with Love" kit and I used my Mini Minc to foil the greeting, finished off with corner rounder on only 2 corners.





Friendship & Love



I love these sweet guys from the new StampTV Kit called "Made with Love" from Gina K Designs!  I also love to look at the galleries at StampTV to get ideasl   I saw Heidi use the stencil that came in the kit only partially on her card so I had to give it a try because it looked so pretty for a card that was about love!  Thanks for the inspiration Heidi!

Here are the supplies I used:  Stamps from the kit in the set called Better With You, Colorbox Lovely stencil that also comes in the kit.  Inks were GKD, Distress inks and SU, Cardstock was GKD and some from my stash, heart punch, and Wink of Stella on the red heart.  


Thanks so much for stopping by - Happy Saturday!!!!

Yupo Flowers and Hearts



I had so much fun today playing with Yupo paper, even though I'm covered in alcohol inks!  I made up a couple of large sheets of Yupo and used a dauber with felt to apply the ink.  I used stencils and stamps on the dried ink and because the paper is plastic, the ink reactivates when more ink or alcohol hit it.

Supplies used were:  Yupo paper, heart dies from Paper Smooches, heart punch, Memory Box intricate floral die, paper cutter, corner rounder, fun foam, Die-Namics pierced rectangle die, We R Memories Next Level embossing folder, white and metallic yellow cardstock, ink dauber and two shades of distress ink sponged on the edges.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts "You Are My Hero" set.

You're the Best - Foiling



My first card using both my Mini Minc (thank you Jo-Ann's for having it on sale) and the new Gina K Designs Stamp TV Kit Made With Love.  The new kit is amazing and full of beautiful colors and goodies!  It came in the mail last night quite late so I didn't get to play with it until today!

This card was made with the following supplies:
From the GKD- background panel was from old kit and was printed in green, I foiled it!  Apple mint, blue lagoon, lipstick and black/white cardstocks, ribbon (not in this new kit), sentiment is printed in the kit ready for you to foil
Cheery Lynn Designs-Circles die
From My Favorite a Things-Stitched Rectangle die
We R Memories-Stitched Circle dies
Cuttlebug-Swiss Dots EF on Lipstick panel in the center
Mini Minc with gold Deco Foil

Entering this in the Make a Splash Challenge over at StampTV-for me using these new colors is a bold move-I usually stick to more subtle shades.  But these new colors are amazing!!!
