Good morning lovelies! It’s September 1st and we have a new challenge. Can’t believe it’s September and my oldest starts 3rd grade in a few days. Sometimes I jut want to tell time to slow it down and take it easy. 

So this month we are focusing on techniques. The design team and I used several of our fave and some new techniques to create our September challenge project. 

For my cards I used several techniques. For the first one I decided to try out the no-line water coloring technique. I really loved the look and will definitely be trying this technique out more 

   
   
Stamps used : V’s Sweet “Coffee Break” and “Birthday Wishes”

For the second card I dried emboss the images in silver and then watercolored it. After watching the talented Kristina Werner masks a card the same way I wanted to give it a go. The silver embossing really gives the card elegance. Love how it came out.

I hope I have inspired you to join us this month and can’t wait to see the different types of techniques. Don’t forget to give the creative team some love and head on over to their blog. Happy Crafting!!

Good morning!! So it’s been about a week since we came back from our family trip and I am slowly trying to get back into the groove of things. We have a new challenge over at our Challenge blogg. Our theme for the month is “Anything goes” so let’s see all those gorgeous projects. 

For this month’s challenge I made a tag. To make this tag I used my “Birthday wishes” stamp set and colored in the balloons using Tim holtz markers. I then popped it on a tag from Speigalmom. I distressed the edges with Tim holtz ink and added may arts ribbon on top of the tag. I also decorated one of the itty bitty bags available in the shop and stamped the word celebrate and happy birthday on the bag. On the back of the tag I adhered a gift card. 

   
   
This was fun and easy to make for any occasion. Hope you liked my tag and I would love to see your projects on our challenge blog

Good morning everyone! Yay! its July first which means 19 more days till my birthday. This month’s challenge theme is celebrate. There is always something to celebrate and an awesome handmade card to go with it. For this month’s challenge I really wanted to use all the new products that have arrived in the shop. I also really wanted to use our new paper bitty bags. Our DT Karen has inspired me use it as a pocket for my card that I created. I decided to use one of my first stamps I ever released which is “Baby Love” and made a card celebrating our newest member of our family, my God daughter. So for this project I made a card and instead of putting it into an envelope I stuffed it in a paper bag and added a tag to it. I will list all the products I used at the bottom.
