Baptism Card

For the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge of "Emboss It". I heat embossed the Avery Elle "Floral Bouquet" flowers in white and used a 3D Spellbinders embossing folder "Floral Expressions". The Cross die is from The Greetery "Caring Cross".

Hero Arts

 The Hero Arts Challenge is "Can't Take My EYES Off You" and I used the Color Layering Rabbit #CM227 and the Trellis Window Die #DF237 along with paper by Studio Light and some various die cut greenery Sizzix dies.

Citrus Twist

 

Both of these cards were made with "The Weekender" kit from Spellbinders (and Hero Arts), now sold out. I loved all of the products that remind me so much of Italy. I used the Citrus Twist Does and the Lemon Fresco embossing folder for these. Bella!

Wax Seals

My first attempt at wax seals, I'm happy with the results!

Egg Crate

 Today is a very rainy day, perfect for stamping and creating. The washi tape background was one I had sitting on my desk just waiting to be recognized. The Egg Crate dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, really love these. Floral sprigs are "Funky Nature" by Tim Holtz Sizzix.

Honeycomb Bunny

 Hey Honeycomb Bunny die and paper honeycomb from Honey Bee Stamps, embossing folder by Simon Says Stamp.

Honeycomb Chick

This delightful die is from The Greetery and is called "Hey Honeycomb Chick" and the honeycomb is sold separately.
 

Frida Meowlo

 Love the "Art Museum" stamps and coordinating dies (for the frame) by Hero Arts, for their monthly challenge found HERE.

Celtic Cross

 The cross stamp is an old wood mounted one from Judikins, definitely a keeper. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday, shamrock embossing folder card front was swi[ed with Tim Holtz Twisted Citron and Scattered Straw distress oxide inks. This is for te Simon Says Stamp "Bit O' Green" challenge found HERE.

Going Green

 This is for the Simon Says Stamp "Bit O' Green" challenge. 

St. Patrick's Day Greetings

 More for St. Patrick's Day using Authentique paper from a few years back.

Love On The Rocks

This fun sets of dies from Spellbinders is called "Love On The Rocks" and is so easy to work with. I can see loads of possibilities for these. Shamrock stamps are My Sentiments Exactly, doily and lucky sentiment are Tim Holtz.

 

Pastel Rainbow Cards

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it! The first card could be used for other things, I guess, and the second card will be for St. Patrick's Day. Shamrock dies are from Pretty Pink Posh.

 

Valentines with Tim Holtz

 

I enjoyed the Facebook live that Tim Holtz did on Saturday, it really helped me to focus and look at my supplies in a new light. I didn't think I had very many products to use for valentines until I went through my stash and curated them with a new eye. Very helpful.

Poinsettia Die Cuts

 This is for the "Poinsettia" themed Christmas challenge, using Tim Holtz poinsettia die and embossing folder set, and I think the embossing folder for the background is Simon Says Stamp. I keep my folders in this container (below) that I got from Ikea years back. They are organized by theme a little bit in here, flowers and trees/leaves in the front, followed by frames, birthday, and then holidays in the back. Packaging was just taking up room so I removed it (but save it all in the closet).

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge

There is a fun way to challenge yourself to get a headstart on next year's Christmas card making with this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/351932248498687 Each week features a different theme to motivate you. The first prompt was to recycle some gift wrap or gift tags, the "no peeking" was wrapping paper.

Week 2 was bears, (Stampendous stamps and dies.)

Week 3- Mistletoe or Wine. I used Crafters Companion stencils.

                                 Week 4- Trio of Trees, various die cuts used.

                               

                                Week 5- Pink and blue. Hero Arts transfer for greeting, sequins to decorate tree.

 

Stencilled Peonies

 This card uses all Hero Arts supplies for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Clean and Simple featuring Hero Arts. I used the Color Layering Peonies stencils with the Ode To Andy Warhol background stamp and the Collage Backgrounds transfers.
