Thankful

If you joined me Sunday morning, you got a chance to see me make this fun card, and even the oops that I had! If you didn’t join me, you should add me to your Sunday morning schedule, so you can watch live next Sunday, 9am Pacific time!

This card is fairly simple, and is completely and totally inspired by Amy Ulen’s card. When I made my sample, I couldn’t find my package of Kraft, so I had to figure out what I had that I could use to make my sample and then make another during my live video, so it’s amended from her card, but you can totally tell that it is inspired by hers!

Would you believe that the bright pops of color on this card are from the new water color pencils? It totally is! I LOVE the look that this gives the card, especially on the kraft cardstock!

This card was SUPER easy to make! It doesn’t take very long, and looks fantastic! You should TOTALLY give it a try! While you are at it, link it up to the Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week, which is to use ANYTHING from the new Holiday Expressions book!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you liked my project, and I hope that you will leave a comment letting me know what you think, and also join in on the challenge at H2H, that I linked above! You have through the end of the month to play along!

Until next time!
~ Michelle

Thanks & Giving SOTM Blog Hop

12 Replies

Welcome to this month’s SOTM blog hop! I know you will get a lot of inspiration from everyone! Today you should have arrived from Ronda’s blog. If not, thats ok, its a circle, and you will get back to her!

I try to find things to do with the stamp sets that are a bit different than what other people might do. Today I have this fun wreath type look for my card.

It turned out so fun!! I colored in the flower centers and buds with bonding memories glue, and then added the gold embossing powder and heat set it. I added color to the flowers and leaves with the shinhan markers.

I used one of the stitched thin cuts for the center and added the gather greeting that I had heat embossed with the gold powder o to some of our vellum, and cut out withthe micro tip scissors.

I couldn’t leave the inside blank, so I added some more of the same image, and did a bit more embossing and coloring.

I think it turned out great! What do you think? Let me know, and then hop on over to Krista’s blog!

Thanks so much for hopping by!!

Rad Dad – Masculine Themed Optional Hop

8 Replies

Another hop! You betcha! This month we have a special called Dad is Rad, and it’s only available until the end of June! I know you will want to get this set, and we are here to show you some ideas other than what you get with the kit itself! They will all be masculine themed, so they are perfect for the Dads (or guys) in your life! Today you should have arrived from Darlys’ blog. If not, that’s ok, it’s a circle, so you will get back there. So, let’s get started, shall we??

First, let’s start with what you get in the Dad is Rad kit. Check this out!

This kit contents:
1 – My Acrylix® Rad Dad Stamp Set (D1811)
11 – cardstock sheets (1 Almond, 1 Crystal Blue, 1 Juniper, 1 Sapphire, 2 Toffee, 4 White Daisy, 1 gold glitter)
1 – White Burlap Ribbon (Z3323)
1 – Gold Bows (Z3380)
4 – white cards & envelopes

You will also have access (even without purchase) to a pdf guide on how to create a two page layout and 5 cards with the supplies in this kit. It really is a great deal!

Now, shall I show you what I came up with? I must tell you, I totally CASEd this card I found on Pinterest. I changed the colors so that it would use what came in the kit, and I LOVE love love how it turned out!

I stamped the solid argyle image in Almond Ink and the dotted argyle in Sapphire Ink. The “Thank you” was cut with my explore, I used the font Lobster Two. I cut it four times and layered them together with liquid glass, and attached them to the card with it as well.

I used the Almond cardstock for the background and the Sapphire cardstock to tie in the ink and sentiment.
