Crafty Trash

Okay so over at StampTV, they are having a challenge to use stuff from the trash!  How cool is that and how fun too!  So here are the trash items I found and used.

1)  bubble wrap from my last shipped order of GKD stamps

2) brown paper bag from Panera Bread - love their sourdough bread!

3) back of packaging from a set of Verve stamps I received

I cut up the kraft Panera sack and the back paper insert from my Verve stamp set and arranged them in a diagonal pattern on a piece of GKD layering white card stock, then trimmed it down, ran little strips of bubble wrap down the white space diagonal lines, mounted it on a black panel and then on the GKD heavy weight card base.  The butterfly was stamped on more Panera bread sack, die cut and mounted on multiple cuts of the butterfly to give it some strength, then topped with Wink of Stella.  That butterfly stamp and die is from GKD Birthday Blessings.  The other stamps came from GKD latest stamp TV kit:  Sending Love.

Stitched Circle Floral Card

Hi there, it's Angie, here with another card for the Just Us Girls month of April challenges.

Thanks so much for inviting me as this month guest designer, such an honor!

Be sure to check out all the fabulous inspiration from the JUGS Design Team!

This week is the Wild Card Week #341 to make your favorite fold or shaped card.  I chose the circle shape.  This was quite a challenge for me because I don't usually make shaped cards but it's good to get out of your comfort zone and try something new.  

Because I'm not very experienced making shaped cards, I went to YouTube to look around and see what shapes other people had made.  There are a lot of videos out there to watch!  I watched this video on youtube HERE and saw the cutest shaped card and I wanted to give it a try.  

I used Hero Arts stamps and dies from the new "You're So Lovely" set and sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts "You Are My Hero" set with Hero Arts shadow inks and ombre inks along with Gina K Designs Applemint and Lipstick ink.  I used vellum instead of acetate for my center.  Other supplies I used were Memory Box stitched circle dies, Bic Yellow/Gold Mark-It marker, Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets, and StazOn black ink for the vellum sentiment.

I hope you can join in the fun this week over at the Just Us Girls Challenge - Color Week - 341!

For Karen Hightower's Size Doesn't Matter StampTV MIUM Challenge -

I used the new Stamp TV Kit just out - I've had it for several days but was so busy judging music contests this past week, I didn't have time to even open it!!!!  I did today!!!

So I made this with stamps from the set, GKD inks in Lipstick, Applemint, and Blue Lagoon, GKD card stock, white embossing powder, ink daubers, and twine/heart die and Wink of Stella from my stash.  And of course, my score pal to make the box!

I make a lot of boxes for my Etsy store sales, so it never hurts to have extras lying around!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pink Lemonade Cheers

Hi all, this is Angie with another post as the guest designer over at Just Us Girls.

Thanks again so much for inviting me, it's been so much fun!

This week's Challenge is Photo Week #340 and look at this great inspiration photo!

Makes me thirsty just looking at it!

I used a piece of textured pink card stock for the top panel.  I stamped the sentiment with dark blue ink to match the striped in the patterned paper.  I used my Mini Misti, because with the texture it is hard to get a solid image.  The sentiment is from MFT Handlettered Holiday, I cut just the word "Cheers" off one of the stamps to use by itself.  

The lovely citrus paper is a digital paper from a pack I bought off Etsy from AMGillustrations.  I matted a strip of the paper I printed to some striped blue and white patterned paper (to match the dish towel in the photo) from my stash.  The drink is a digital stamp from Hero Arts set "Let's Chill" available from a2zScrapbooking store or you can also buy it as a clear stamp set.  I sized the stamp and printed it on white card stock, colored it with Spectrum Noir markers and adhered it to the card front.  Lastly I added lots of Rainstones from Papertrey Ink to look like bubbles or drops of condensation, water or lemonade.  This was a really fun card to make! 

I hope you can find the time this week to join along in the fun over at the Just Us Girls Challenge!
