Mixing Pattern Papers

Hello!!

Happy Christmas Eve!! I'm sharing two cards today that I made a few weeks ago for a challenge, but got behind and didn;t get the photo edited in time! And since tomorrow is Christmas I need to share pronto!!!

I started by stamping 3 little moose from Poppy Stamps Moose Crossing, yes I said 3! I was first going to use all three on one card but later change my mind and instead just made two cards. The third is sitting on my desk still! Probably going to be hanging out until next Christmas.

I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the moose (CG2, DG2, DG3, IG1, IG2, IG4). I stamped and paper pieced a shirt and tie.

Then I started mixing pattern papers. I decided to use a stitched rectangle die and cut one pattern for the background and another for the ground. For the ground, I cut a wave in each and discarded the top portions. I adhered the ground patterns on rectangle patterns.

Next, I stamped the sentiment after bending it slightly. I added the moose to each panel with foam tape and then added panels to white card bases. Then I added wood snowflakes!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Poppy Stamps Shaker Card

Hello!

This is my second card today! You can find my Crafter's Companion card here.

Today is the last day to enter Poppy Stamps Shake It Up Challenge and I am just making it in before it closes!! I made this last week and thought oh I have all the time in the world before the end of the month.... well it is now the end of the month!! LOL!!

I am also entering this in Darnell's NBUS (Never Been Used) Challenge #7! I got this Poppy Stamp set Ewe Are The Best many, many months ago and when I saw the shaker challenge earlier this month I decided it was time to use it!!

To start I picked out some pattern paper and I used a Simon Say Stays Frames Die to cut some green and purple pattern paper. From the green paper, I cut out the lamb body twice. To make sure I had the placement right I first added the green panel to the center of a white card base and used washi tape to hold the dies in the right spot. After die cutting the bodies I stamped the Ewe Are The Best on the green panel.

I also die cut the heads and legs from Kraft card stock and then stamped the matching heads. I also stamped the heads on white card stock, fussy cut out the hair and adhered them to the Kraft heads.

To assemble the shaker I adhered some acetate to the back of the green panel and then added foam tape around each of the bodies. Then I added a few sequins to the card and with some more foam tape around the rest of the panel I added it to the card base.

I added the purple border around the green panel directly to the card base and then last I die cut a tiny heart and added it above one of the lambs.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello!

Today i sharing i card i made for a few challenges. My mojo has been really lacking lately, lots of stress with my school, so i really haven't been in the mood to craft! To try to get out of the funk i decided to play along with a few challenges and use a few products that i haven't had a chance to play with yet! My card if for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, Poppy Stamps Challenge #18 - Spring Fling and the National Craft Month Celebration Blog Hop.

I started by stamping the cute little frog, mushrooms, bow and coffee cup and then used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color them. I used three Poppy Stamps sets, Hoppy Holiday, Gnome Christmas, You Melt My Heart. Next i fussy cut them out, leaving a small white border around each of them.

Next i used the coffee mug die from Paper Sweeties Homemade With Love stamp set and matching die. I cut it four times from white card stock. Since the matching stamp was solid, rather then an outline, i added the handle and drink details. Then i added my frog and mushrooms to each of the mugs.

Then i used a Poppy Stamps Cloud border die and used it with some blue polka dot pattern paper. I added a little bit of blue ink to the cloud border, then added it to a white card base. Along the bottom i added a green stripe pattern paper.

Then i added the mushroom mugs and then the frog cup with foam tape. I also added the little bow and coffee cup to the frog with foam tape. Last i stamped the Hoppy Birthday below the mugs.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
