Hello....Playing with Concord & 9th - the final post for today!

Yawn, I am getting a bit sleepy.  But I want to post these awesome tags I made with the Concord & 9th set Orange You Sweet.  

I am entering these as one entry into the Where Creativity meets c9 Challenge 12: Anything Goes.


Honestly, I don't know if I can do this,but it is not fair to use up 4 entries.  They are too similar.  But I like a non-traditional entry here and there :)

So, I need to tell you that these "hello" tags are just about my favorite thing I have ever made.  Here is a closeup:



First I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out a circle that was slightly smaller than my scalloped tag.  I cut out the hello from this die set from both the watermelon pink paper and the sparkly green paper and then glued the die cut into the opposite color.  Add some cute green twine and I have one fun tag!  I am going to make a bunch in different colors!



The next two tags were so much fun too!  I just love the green lime on some pale blue cardstock.  I used glitter paper for the lime base.  I have one with the green base and a glitter rind too, but I messed up on the stamping.  I stupidly glued the die cut onto the base before I stamped, then I couldn't use my Misti. It is obviously time for bed.

Night, Thanks for listening!

Hi there! If all of a sudden this post just stops mid sentence it is because my computer died.  Its almost there man!  Any day now... I am here today with this card I made last night... Here is is from another angle... I am really loving this card. At first, I was making it for the  Simon Say Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog .  Which I still am.  But as I am painting this card, I realized that the inspiration behind this card is actually from the  CAS-ual Fridays CAS01 May Challenge .  Actually their first encouragement  challenge.  This card is what I see in the picture from that challenge. I started this card with a piece of 140 lb watercolor paper.  I stamped the sentiment from Concord & 9th in Versamark and embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing powder.  I heat set and stamped the flowers in each corner the same way.    I took out my new watercolors (eek, still exciting!) and started add...

Lawn Fawnatics and A Blog Named Hero Challenges

Image
Hey everyone.  Well, I am very lucky as my October Monthly Hero Arts kit came just in time!  I wanted to use the dies on a tag I was making for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge.  I kept it un-assembled until I received my package yesterday.   This tag is being entered into the  Lawnfawnatics Challenge 14 : Happy Critters  and the  A Blog Named Hero - Calling all Critters .  The Blog Named Hero Challenge is using both Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn products.  I expect to enter more as the October kit and Lawn Fawn play very nicely together! I used Toboggan together set and colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.  I made the background out of the mountain range die from the October HA kit.  I used Bristol Smooth paper and first inked it with DO Iced Spruce and Salty Ocean.  I cut it then used the mountain range stamp with white pigment HA ink to stamp some detail.  I also inked the edges of the range with the ink.  I...

Casology Week 247: Flow

Hey there, Stefanie here...back for some more challenge cards.  I was lucky enough to craft all day and I have a ton of cards to share.  I think I will just do a few more today, then update the blog more tomorrow.   I am trying to grow as a card designer and my favorite challenge that pulls me OUT of my comfort zone is the CASology challenge.    Here is my entry for the CASology Week 247 Challenge - keyword is Flow.   This may be one of the favorite cards I have made this weekend.  Here are the details: I started using the ink cubes I got with my Hero Arts May kit, Deep Blue and Aqua.  I blended them onto a piece of 110 lb white paper.  I seriously love this ink.  I am really excited to actually stamp with it, but today I just blended it.  I saw a video from Jennifer McGuire a few days ago in which she said that Hero Arts inks have a special quality.  You can put Versamark on them and ...
