HAPPYBDAY!

Sharing this dimensional die cut card for CAS Mix Up Card Challenge. The challenge was dimensional dies + stamping + your choice . . . went with embossing. 

 

I had created a water color piece using a stencil, and it didn't have a lot of detail in the end.  And so I cut it up with some dies and created this piece with some dimension.  

I hope you find some time to create today.

Cupcake Truck Box for Just Us Girls

Love the color inspiration at Just Us Girls.  I made treat box in the shape of a cupcake truck . . . wishing this truck would drop a little cupcake off to me right now. 

 I had fun making this one . . . just have to keep it save until February 14, 2020 . . . and then be able to find it, fill it up, and share the joy. 

It's going to be a long year. 

I hope you find some time to create today.

CAS on Friday . . . Use a Tag

Does it count if said tag, for CAS on Friday, is one you didn't create?

Well, I had these tags, and felt they deserved to be used on a card . . . they were from a card kit, so of course they belong on a card.

I do love the texture on this tag.  And I'm loving my color combination. 

 

I hope you find some time to create today.

#YOUARELOVED

No conversation heart candies in the stores this year . . . so I had to create my own!  This one is for House Mouse & Friends Challenge.  I adore these little mice. 

My background, oddly enough, was created using a rose stencil, but you can' see much of the rose detail due to the technique I used, which was to attempt a watercolor monoprint from another piece where the rose detail did show.  But it was till worthy of use.  

Adore these cute little mice!

I hope you find some time to create today.

Sharing a card inspired by this mood board at Color My Heart Color Dare . . .

And here is the card I created . . . it's a bit of a graph . . . of me . . . cuz it's all about me, my loves and likes.  And I used those paper strips from the CTMH pattern papers.

With Enough Coffee . . .

Sharing a card created with the inspiration at Just Add Ink.  It was a "choose two" challenge, and I chose my two . . . sequins and colouring. 

What's not to love about House Mouse . . . except that this dude is a little on the dark side . . . although the coffee could have stained him. 

With enough coffee, I sometimes rule my own world.  The sentiment fits. 

I hope you rule the world and create.

Use Your Stuff - Enamel Dots

I always have enamel dots hanging around from kits, and I try to use them up so there isn't abundance.  So I went to my stash for this card inspired by the challenge at Use Your Stuff. 

For this card, I replaced dots in the pattern paper with some enamel ones to add dimension. 

 And I went with a pop of black so that my die would show on those pattern papers.
