Share Joy Challenge #46

 Hello!

I am stopping in to share the latest Share Joy Challenge with you! I used the sketch, along with a fun die set, and sentiment to create my card.


I took a panel of card stock, and splattered several colors of Distress Ink onto it, and allowed it to completely dry. I then adhered a piece of patterned paper from Pink Fresh Studio, to the bottom portion of the panel.


Using the Bloom Where You're Planted die set, I cut with various colors of TE card stock (see supply list below). I adhered my flower to the card, along with a white heat embossed sentiment from the Oh Happy Day stamp set.

Here is the graphic, and all of the info to play along is below!

Share Joy Challenge #45

Happy Thursday!!

I have a new Share Joy Challenge for you, and it is so much fun! You can do the sketch, or the bright color combination. I chose the colors this week! Let's check it out..


I started by stamping the large scribble circle from the Stroke of Genius 2 set, using TE's Candy Corn Dye ink, in the lower right bottom corner. I then took one of the frames from the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 sets, and cut my card base. I backed the opening with a another piece of paper, and reinserted the frame in with foam tape.


Using the Little Bits- Confetti and Candle mini die set, I cut out the pieces using TE Card stock. I stamped my sentiment using the Simply Stamped - Roses set in Oreo ink, and added a few details. I added some white stripes to the candles using a gel pen, and some gloss to the candles.


I hope you've enjoyed! Details for the challenge are below..I hope to see your project linked up!

Share Joy Challenge #44

Hello dear friends! 

I hope you are well, and enjoying your summer! I am soaking in all the heat I can, because I know it never lasts long enough. Right now, I am knee deep in curriculum, and school planning, so I know that fall is right around the corner, eep! However, it is time again for a new Share Joy Challenge


You know I can't get enough of the Fresh Florals set from Taylored Expressions! It's dreamy! I stamped the blooms using their inks, and matching dies, and adhered them in a cluster over my patterned papered panel.


I used a sweet sentiment from the same set, and added some white gel pen details to my flowers. I finished it with some small gens to the flower centers! 

I hope to see you join us this week! It's a good one! Here is the sketch, and the details are below.

Share Joy Challenge #43

Hello!

I have this week's Share Joy Challenge to share with you, today! Whenever there is the option for Tic-Tac-Toe, I feel the need to do it. I don't know why, but there it is. I went with the top row, going to the right, check it out...


I knew I wanted to use the Build-a-Scene - Trees die set, but noticed the actual tree top shape was smaller than I needed it to be for a good shaker window, so, I simply die cut it three times to form a larger opening. I added some blue Distress Ink around the edges, and adhered the Stitched Scallop piece that I had die cut from Peapod Card Stock to the bottom of the panel. I tied some twine around it, and then added a piece of acetate, and foam tape to my shaker window.  


I sprinkled in some sequins, and stars, and covered it with more acetate before adhering the whole panel to a white card base with more foam tape. I had also stamped my sentiment earlier in the process, when it was flat on my desk. All of the supplies I used are listed below!

I hope you've enjoyed, and are inspired to play along with us this week! Have a good one, friends!
