#TGIFC538: Relax & Enjoy

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a product challenge, and the featured product is one that I'm sure many of you have in your craft rooms - the Country Woods Designer Series Paper!

 

This paper was a perfect pairing with the bundle I'm featuring this week, the Notes & Totes Bundle. I used the Country Woods paper for the boardwalk on my card.

 

A few other fun details on this card:

• I used Wink of Stella on the sunglasses - because how fun are sparkly sunglasses?!
• the Misty Moonlight paper in the background is from the Kintsugi Inspirations pack - perfect for a cloudy/ocean scene
• those little pearls are the Riverside Irregular Pearls, and they're on sale in the Last Chance section of the store

What is your favorite part of this card? Let me know in the comments!

If you like this color combination too, I've created a graphic with all of the colors in the card that you can save for later:

 

Here is a full list of products I've used on my card:

Creation Station: Magical Monochrome

 

It's time for this month's Creation Station hop! It's been a few months since I've hopped along, and I'm so happy that I've found some creative mojo (and time!) to create a project for this month's hop.

 

This month's theme is Magical Monochrome. My favorite color is purple, so of course I had to use it for my card! I've used the A Little Cheer stamp set and seven shades of purple/pink. From top to bottom, the colors I used are: Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Petunia Pop, Berry Burst, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Blackberry Bliss. 

 

 

I absolutely love creating watercolor backgrounds, so I used the same colors as my cardstock strips and did a little watercolor wash. Before water-coloring, I heat embossed the snowflake from the stamp set in white a few times on my background piece.

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card:

Stamps: A Little Cheer

Ink: Versamark, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Petunia Pop, Berry Burst, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Blackberry Bliss

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Watercolor Paper, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Petunia Pop, Berry Burst, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Blackberry Bliss

Embellishments: Rhinestones, Shimmer Star Foam Stickers, Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim Combo Pack

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Water Painters (retired), Textured Notes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

I hope you enjoyed this non-traditional Christmas card, and make sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created!

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC525: A Piggy Birthday

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a fun one - paper flowers!

 

I am featuring the Party Piggy Bundle on social media this week, and at first I was scratching my head about how to incorporate this bundle with paper flowers. But then I had an idea about a pig peeking out from a bed of flowers, and I turned my idea into a fun, flowery pig card for my daughter's upcoming birthday. She LOVES pigs, and I think she's going to be so excited when she opens this card!

 

I've paired the Party Piggy Bundle with the Impressions Abloom Dies. These flower dies are amazing, aren't they?!

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card:

Stamps: Party Piggy

Ink: Memento Black

Stampin' Blends Markers: Bubble Bath, Pecan Pie

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop, Pool Party, Cute as Can Bee DSP

Embellishments: Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems

Tools: Party Piggy Dies, Impressions Abloom Dies, Unbounded Love Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

#TGIFC524: Sketch Challenge

Hello, friends!

It's been a bit since I've blogged. Life has been CRAZY, and some things had to be set aside for awhile. But I'm back today with a card for this week's sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges. Check it out!

 

I used products from the Floral Impressions Suite Collection to create my card using this sketch.

 

The flowers in this stamp set are two step stamps - use two different colors of ink, or you can stamp off and use two shades of the same color. I used two different colors this time. Here's a tip: stamp the darker, more detailed stamp first. It makes it much easier to line up that solid part!

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Impressions Abloom

Ink: Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight, Pool Party

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Pool Party, Floral Impressions DSP

Embellishments: Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs, Iridescent Striped Trim

Tools: Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder, Impressions Abloom Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Happy Stamping!

Rachel
