Hello, Kraftie Friends!

A couple of days this past week, it got warmer...now it's colder again...crazy winter!

This is how I am dressed most of the days...even at home...lol

I used some Glitter Brush Pen, silver and silver metallic paint pens and dimensional glitter paint on this card:

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Finally, I'm feeling better enough to craft a bit (my whole family had COVID)...

I was just watching "Encanto" for the "100th" time a couple days ago...so, I'm still in butterflies and flowers mode...but I guess will also start some "Summer" projects soon...

This card was made using supplies I already had in my scrap box...all I had to do was color the butterfly with alcohol-based markers.

1. Color Throwdown #699

2. Less is More #468: Emboss

3. Can You Handle the Pressure? AGoes with Embossing with a twist of Things with Wings

5. Simon Says Wed: Feminine

6. Creative Crease #31: Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I haven't played with Stencils and Spray Inks for a while...time for a change from cards...

I started with Card Front Stencil Pack 2 + Ranger Opaque Matte Texture Paste. Then, I sprayed 3 different colors + water to spread the colors around the art journal page. I stamped the lady (Finnabair - Dare to Dream/Prima) on cardstock and fussy cut her out, colored with markers and paint and adhered on page. I brushed diluted dye ink on some stenciled flowers and drew a "skirt". Then, I stamped texture (CTMH Perfectly Imperfect Patterns Stamp Set) + sentiment on with ink pads.

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I made these cards using an older CTMH Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit...

 Happy Sunday, Kraftie Friends!

It's been a while...but I have a card to share today, using die cuts.

When I get my die cut machine out...can't just cut 1 or 2 designs...so, even if I don't need them right away, I die cut whatever I can fit in the scraps, then organize them in small photo boxes to use later.

I used a negative panel, leftover from previous cuts, and added new die cuts to make this card. Most die cuts are Sizzix (Jungle Shadow Box) and some are Spellbinders. 

Challenges:

1. Addicted to Stamps and More #415: Die Cuts and/or Stencils

2. Gem of a Challenge #21: Cardmaking & Craft - AGoes

3. Mix It Up #54: AGoes + Paper Piecing

4. DiesRUs #178: AGoes (using brands that DRU sells)

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

A couple of rainbow cards today...to brighten your day!

The card base, die cuts, flower sequins and stamps are from Craft with Heart Jan-Apr 2021 Cardmaking Subscription Kit. But I made it my own, by stamping some border stamps and adding some patterned paper strips from my stash.

Background Cloud panel was embossed and watercolored. I used patterned paper + scalloped border punch + fringe scissors to make the grass. Stamps are CTMH Sweet Safari - Scrapbooking (rainbow), and Mama Elephant (bunny, banner, sentiment). Butterflies and Flowers die cuts are SU! and Sizzix. 

I added colors with alcohol-based markers and some gold metallic paint on grass, flowers and bunny.
