Hello there! This week's challenge at Merry Monday is Christmas Bingo! 

I chose the horizontal center line: Die Cut, Ribbon or Twine, and Kraft. I thought this was so fun to have so many things to choose from and mix and match them in various combinations. 

I love Christmas so I have tons of paper pads and embellishments for the holiday. The paper I used for the background and the bottom of my card are from Carta Bella's So This is Christmas 6x6 paper pad. My die cuts are the wreaths and tag. My ribbon or twine is the red and white twine I weaved through the wreaths. My kraft is the kraft paper I used to die cut the wreaths and the background paper. Thank you for coming by! I hope you have a wondeful day!

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Rustic Wreath

Dies: PTI Rustic Wreath, PTI Tag Sale #8 (I used the small one)

Paper: Recollections 110 lb white card stock, Carta Bella So This is Christmas

Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, PTI Pinefeather 

Casology Week 114: Flutter

Hi there! Today I am participating in a challenge I haven't participated in before: Casology. This week the cue word is flutter and the first thing that popped into my head was butterflies. My card is super simple. It's not what I am used to making but I am beginning to really love this style.

I focused on the bottom right corner and went with an aqua and yellow color theme with a little pop of blue added in. I made the sentiment part of the image by stamping it on top of two of the butterflies. I stamped the smaller butterfly underneath the sentiment to give the card a little more color and interest. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Beautiful Butterflies, PTI Fillable Frames #1

Ink: Color Box Cat's Eye Pigment Inks in Canary, Robin's Egg, and Cyan; Memento Dew Drops Tuxedo Black

Merry Monday #126 {The Words Have it!!}

Hello! Today I made a card for this week's Merry Monday challenge. The theme is to make the sentiment the star of the card.

For the background, I used Papertrey Ink's diagonal stripe cover plate. I die cut a stencil and then used my Ranger blending tool to add Pure Poppy ink in the open stripes. I die cut a tag and punched snowflakes out of clear card stock and white card stock. I tied a red bow at the top of the tag and then adhered the tag and snowflakes to my card. I cut a piece of white card stock and stamped my sentiment. I popped my sentiment up with foam tape so it would stand out. I finished by adding a few red dots. Thank you for taking the time to come by!

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Think Big Favorites #20

Dies: PTI Tag Sale #1, PTI Stripes Diagonal Cover Plate

Paper: Recollection's 110 lb white card stock, PTI clear card stock

Make It Monday #180: Paper Weaving

Hi there! Do you ever start with an idea you think is going to be so awesome but then when you start making the card you end up going in a completely different direction? That's what happened to me when I went about making my card for this week's MIM. I had a color scheme in mind, a stamp set picked out, and I had even sketched a card layout. I didn't use any of it. I had a lot of fun making my card though!

I started out by doing my paper weaving. I cut out a piece of cream card stock and placed a piece of adhesive along the top. Then I went about adhering different strips of patterned paper. I took more strips and weaved them through the first layer of strips. To get a square I sent the whole thing through my Big Shot with a Sizzix square die. I then die cut the umbrella and scalloped edge. I cut a small piece of cream card stock that I flagged one side of to stamp my sentiment on. I finished by tying a bow around the front of the card. Thanks for coming by and checking out my new card!

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Scattered Showers

Dies: Sizzix square die, PTI Scattered Showers

Paper: PTI Aqua Mist, Recollections 110 lb cream card stock, Fancy Pants Park Bench paper pad

Ink: Color Box Cat's Eye Pigment Ink in Sea Glass
