Share Joy Challenge #50

Hello! 

I am so glad you stopped by today! I have a fun card to bring you using this weeks Share Joy Challenge! I used the sketch portion, and the adorable If Cats Could Talk stamp, and die set.

I trimmed down a piece of Sugar Cube card stock to a standard size card, and flicked on black ink. After I allowed it to dry, I adhered the two larger sized Stitched Frame Stacklets with foam tape.

I took the cat from the set, and stamped it onto Kraft card stock, die cut it out, and added a bit of shading with a Copic Marker. I also stamped and cut out the mouse, and adhered that behind the cat image, mounting them both onto a die cut circle of Mint Julep. I adhered my white heat embossed sentiment vellum strip behind the circle, and adhered the piece to the card base.

I hope you have a chance to play along with us, and I look forward to seeing what you create! Guidelines to play are below, as well as the challenge graphic! Have a great day!

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.

June Memory Box Challenge

Hello! 

I am here sharing the June Memory Box challenge, and this month it's watercolor! You know my love for this medium, so I decided to use the newly released, Veggie Good stamp set for my project. 

I started by stamping my various vegetables onto a piece of watercolor card stock, and painting them in loosely. I then allowed it to air dry. I ran it through my die cut machine using the Cross Stitched Frame Border, released back in January to create a border.

I adhered the panel to a light gray card base, and then white heat embossed my sentiment onto black card stock. I trimmed it down, and placed it onto the card using foam tape.

Check out the challenge over on the Memory Box blog, and play along! I know many of you love to watercolor as much as I do, and I also have a hunch you own a few Memory Box products too!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
