{Sun} Sweets: Cards for Challenges

Happy Sunday, Kraftie Friends!

Squeezing a couple last February cards for some challenges...

Card #1

I inked an embossing folder (retired CTMH - Rose) and ran it through my Cuttlebug (Embossing Folder Stamping Technique). I trimmed the panel to size and inked the edges. I added the strip of pp and die cut hearts.

Birthday Cards

Mixed Media {Mon}: Stenciled Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a couple of cards to share today, using stencils...

Card #1 Freestyle Stenciled + Stamped Card

Inspired by colors and plant from The Card Concept #149 challenge, I inked the stencil and placed the cardstock panel on top to get the impression. I stamped "wire" image and silhouette floral on. Then, I added washi tape, a stamped sentiment (with foam tape) and some sequins.

I used a stencil to ink the background and stamped the sillhouette floral image + sentiment. Then, I placed the stencil over again, inked it with VersaMark, and heat embossed it with Clear+Glitter powder.

Craft with Heart

Scrapbook {Sat}: I Adore You - Craft With Heart Feb 2021

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I haven't scrapbooked in a while, so I needed to do some catching up...

I purchased CTMH Craft with Heart Scrapbooking Subscriptions and they are really easy and fast to complete. I'm a slow crafter and it takes me 30 minutes or less to complete one 2-page layout! If you're fast, you can finish in way less time...

Here's one (of 2 layouts) from the February 2021 Kit:
