Rose gold simplicity!

Leave a reply

Have you seen the rose gold papers that CTMH carries?  There are 6 different designs, with rose gold foil on them!  They are so shiny and pretty!  They are perfect for cards, and like with a little black dress, you can dress it up or dress it down!

These two cards use the exact same measurements, but with the different papers, they look so different!  One looks a bit more ‘formal’ than the other.  I love how just changing a paper can make a world of difference!

Just look at all that shine!

These cards were first inspired by this week’s challenge over at H2H Challenges!  You should check them out!  Then, I started looking at the Make it from your Heart book, volumne 1, and pattern 20 was my starting off point!

I hope that these cards inspire you to try the Rose Gold Papers!  They are beautiful and fun!  (and so easy to use!)

Do you have problems with making masculine cards?

I know that sometimes I do!  I thought that the Oh Deer challenge over at H2H Designs was perfect to get in a fun guy card!  And the great news, it’s fairly easy, too!

I grabbed a deer image off of one of the CTMH cartridges, and did some editing.  I cut it out a couple of times, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about foam tape on those teeny antlers!!

I used three different distress oxides to color the back panel, then sprinkled some water droplets on it, then sprinkled some gilt gloss spray over the oxides.

I used just a scrap of the french vanilla cardstock to help the sentiment pop off the card.  The sentiment itself was embossed with gold embossing powder.

The card went together super quickly!  And I could imagine it working with any number of color combinations!

I would love to see what you come up with, with the inspiration you get from the other ladies participating in the H2H Challenges!

Until next time, I hope you are able to stay crafty, my friends!

H2H Inspires Tags!

Leave a reply

Aren’t these tags just adorable?  I used the As You Grow PML cards!  The longest part was the coloring on this adorable new coffee cup!

 

The challenge this week over at H2H Challenges is all about Tags.  By themselves, on a card, on a package, you name it!  You could always use this to get your Christmas or Holiday tags ready!

The mink twine is still available, but there aren’t many left in stock!

I colored all of the coffee cups with the TriBlend markers, and I love how much they pop!  The sentiment comes from the October Stamp of the Month, and it just worked so perfectly!

I hope I have inspired you to create some tags!  They don’t have to be super complicated, and are a great use of scraps!  I would love to see what you make!  Share in my FB group, or tag me when you share online!

 

Thank you for stopping by my new site!  I would love to hear what you think!

 

Until next time, 

Michelle

Mix in a little Ferrero Rocher

Happy Thursday!  Are you ready for the day?  Today I have this little box, that I have had pinned for a while, and thought this would be the perfect little gift to make to show you for this fun Naught a Card nor Layout Thursday!

She has some great instructions and even a video as well.  (I did have to make a few corrections/decisions along the way).  

Wouldn’t it be so much more fun to give this little box of chocolate than just a package of candy?

I actually know who I am going to be giving this to!  A friend has had a rough few weeks, and just sold her house this last weekend!  So, I bet she will love this!  (I hope she likes Ferrero Rocher!)

If you make this little box, I would LOVE to see!  Make sure to join my FB group, and share your creations with other creatives as well!

What’s in the box?!?

Ok, ok, I know, maybe not the best movie quote for the crafty scene, but, I’m weird like that!  hahaha!!

Thursday is Naught a card or layout day!  So, today I have another giftable bag for you!  I saw an adorable bag that Sam over at Mixed Up Craft made, and I thought it was super cute!  I thought that I could make it using the largest Hexagon dies, and it turned out SUPER cute!

I made some adjustments for sizes, from what Sam did, but this little box/bag holds SOOOOO MUCH!!

Take a look at all that I can get into this box!  Oh my goodness!!  You guys HAVE to do this!!

I can fit NINE CTMH rolls of ribbon into this box, and it still has a bit of space in it!

Grab your Hexagon thin cuts, and play with them!

Hello friends!

Welcome back to another week of the Card Challenge!  Each week I will make a card, share a video with you on how to create it, share what challenges inspired me with the card, and ask for you to play along with me!  Wow, that was kind of a really long sentence!  LOL!!  Anyway, it was a super fun and easy card to make, I hope you love it and are inspired to do the same!

 

I think these cards turned out absolutely adorable!!

Head over to my FB page to watch the video and get the measurements (really, there’s only one . . . ) and the blog that I found the challenge on!  And make sure to share a photo of the card(s) that YOU are inspired to make!
