Welcome back to another weekly paper show! This week we are working with Perfect Match! This is a fun paper that has many reds and pinks and blacks. While it is a valentine paper pack, it isn’t JUST for Valentine’s day!

This paper pack has a couple of bundles available! There are just a few more items in the 2nd bundle, and the PDF of the projects that CTMH has created will be posted later in the month, and a live FB event will happen, where they will walk you through the cutting and creating of the projects! I will include their artwork photo at the bottom of the post, so make sure to check that out as well!

So, let’s take a look and see what we have, shall we?

Happy Friday! Each Friday I am going to have a project for you with the Stamp of the month, and the paper pack of that week! Fun, right?

I grabbed my trusty Make it from your Heart book and the stamp of the month set, and found a great card. I think it turned out super cute!

I thought this little cluster was super fun! Remember, when you are adding your bling, it doesn’t have to be on top, you can partially tuck it under a layer!

I love having products that make it so easy to put together something quick, don’t you?

Welcome back! Today I am starting a series called ‘Naught a Card nor page’! Fun, right? So, Thursdays here on my little corner of the world, I will have a project for you that is something other than a card or a layout! It will be something a bit different each week, and will follow along with our paper of the week. Keep in mind, though, that these things can be made with any papers you might have!

I was able to gift a friend some fun product this week. It was quite the surprise for her! Now, if we lived anywhere close to each other, I could have done this fun little bag for her, but she will just have to enjoy it digitally! However, this would be something that YOU could easily re-create to gift for someone!

I used the Happiness Lives Here paper packet and a few other products! (I’ve listed them all below, to make them super easy to find!) The little hearts from the die cut, I couldn’t let them just go to waste! So, I created a little shaker tag with them!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I inspire you to create something that’s Naught a card nor page!

This week’s challenge over at Heart 2 Heart is Out with the old and in with the new. So, I thought, why not pair the two together! As crafters, we don’t use up our stuff often enough! (I can see you over there, hoarding your favorite paper!) So, I grabbed a few new things and a few old things, and made this absolutely adorable card! Then, I did it again, on a FB live! That means that you will get a chance to play along and make the same thing!

The Happiness Lives Here paper packet is perfect happy colors for this card! I have listed all of the supplies below, and made them clickable, so that they are that much easier to plop into your cart!

Go ahead and hop over to my FB page to watch the Live video!

And, remember, join in on the weekly card challenge!

This week, along with the H2H challenge I participated in the JUGS challenge, this week, their challenge is to use the word HELLO.

Each week, I will give you two different challenges or prompts to help you create some cards. Make at least 2 cards and share them on my FB page, with the photo from this card! I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

H2H’s Peace on Earth

1 Reply

This week’s challenge over at the H2H blog is “Peace on Earth”. This was a hard one for me, at first, because I don’t have any nativity type stamp sets. So, I had to do some thinking as to how to make that work. I think I succeeded! 🙂

I grabbed a piece of the watercolor paper, and decided to do a slimline card. I cut my piece down to 3.5 x 9, and then started ink blending. I used mostly our water based inks on here, however did not add any extra water. I used: Glacier, Bluebird, Peacock, Sapphire inks, and then completed the blending with some black soot distress oxide.

Once I finished with the blending, I grabbed my clear shimmer brush and created some splatters, and then added some white dots with a white gel pen. Next up was some snow banks, made easy with the fancy borders thin cuts and some white daisy cardstock! I used some thin foam tape behind the top of the hills, and glued the bottom of the hills flat. It gives it such a unique look!

Once I was done with that, I decided I needed something else for the card. I couldn’t find a sentiment that was small enough, and understated enough for the card. The first star I was going to go with, wasn’t quite big enough. It got lost with some of those larger spots of shimmer brush. But, I started thinking outside of the box, I mean, that IS how the whole thing got started, right? I found this fairly perfect ‘star’! It is actually the asterisk from the Brushed Letters Alphabet! Stamped it with versa mark ink, and heat embossed it with some silver embossing powder.

I really love how this card turned out! I hope you like it as well! I would love to hear your thoughts, should I have stuck with the silver, or should I have gone with gold for the star?

I look forward to hearing from you all! Thanks for checking out my card!

Until next time!

Do you have Inky Fingers?

I know I do! I have been playing with the papers from the current books, and am just IN LOVE! For today’s hop, you may have started here, or you may have arrived from Wendy’s blog, either is great! The hop is a large circle, so you will end up where you started!

Today’s card was super fun to put together! I used some leftover papers from the Serenity Cardmaking WYW kit. I looked in the MIFYH 4 book for a fun easy card to make so that I could add some fun inky background to it!

I used our colored pencils to color in the flowers, no water needed! a bit of the silver embellishing thread to wrap around, and it’s just adorable! I used Sapphire ink with a sponge in the background to get the fun color ‘splash’!

This card turned out SUPER cute! (even if I did have to stray from my original plan because I didn’t have the right distress ink colors!)
