I participated in the Hero Arts Scramble this weekend over on the Flickr group. My friend Cheiron was hosting, and my friend Glenda and I met up in a google+ hangout to stamp together. We were given the challenge to create a card for OURSELVES using all of our favorite items. A card just for lil ol me!? ok!!! Teal, teal, and a lil more teal… kraft…. a lil bling, letters and fonts are a love of mine. I love office supplies, hence the grid and punched border I used. AND the best of all “Saturday” my favorite day of the week!!! (see below for a full listing of the supplies I used)
Thank you for hosting Cheiron!
Hey everyone! I’m super excited to let you know I will now be offering classes with Lawn Fawn stamps!!! These fun, whimsical sets are sure to inspire you- and I can’t wait to design a TON of wicked fun cards with them (and share with you of course!)
My first classes with these stamps will be on the Cape, May 16th 6:30-8:30p and at Ink About It Thursday June 21st 6:30-8:30p (more details here) Hope to see you at one of these offerings!
I love the patterned clouds in the Hero Arts/ Studio Calico Set – Hooray . I have made so many cards with that one set alone, and I’m not done yet! I also have been loving the Envelope pattern background stamp, that a few friends talked me into getting. I made the “rain drops” with my quickie glue pen and ultra fine crystal glitter – so fun! And for this design it only seemed fitting that I used gray for the sentiment so i grabbed my Versafine in Smokey Gray.
It certainly has been warm here in New England this week. Record breaking temps, and we all know how I feel about that! I say BRING ON SUMMER! While I was creating some cards for the Hero Arts Challenge, I was on a roll with the supplies I had out on my desk – so I created this quick card too.
I used this clear set for the sentiment, but i cut it apart to make it easier to use 2 different inks- a benefit of using clear stamps!
Another card inspired by the challenges over on the Hero Arts Blog. Super simple, but I LOVE how it turned out! Are you going to play a long? It’s wicked fun!
Supplies Used:
- Hero Arts/ Studio Calico Set – Hooray
- Assorted Memory Box pattern papers
In honor of tomorrow being friday, I thought I would post this card!
I played with some creative girls in a google+ hangout last friday, and created this card. I had been all over MA and NH so was a bit tired, aka lazy- and only wanted to use what was within arms reach. Paper and embellishments scraps worked well here! After I saw my friend Cheiron’s card with the “weekdays” Hero Arts set, I was like “great i’ll never top that” – but i’m happy with what i ended up with.
- Pattern Papers, woodgrain stickers and fabric yo yo from Studio Calico kit
- Hero Arts/ Studio Calico Stamp “weekdays”
- Hero Arts Lattice Background
- Hero Arts Live, Laugh, Love
- Hero Arts wet cement shadow ink
- Hero Arts poppy chalk ink
I have had good intentions of trying out some of Hero Art’s Challenges for awhile now, but it just hasn’t happened.. this month though i have done a few cards!!
Here is the first one I designed for the Sunshine and Showers challenge
On this card I used
Memory Box cards and pattern papers
Hero Arts/ Studio Calico Set – Hooray
Hooray Hello! I had fun using some new Hero Arts/ Studio Calico stamps on this card. I was challenged to use the pink Bo Bunny patterned paper, and the green/blue washi tape. I took me a few tries in figuring out colors that would coordinate with them, since I was having a hard time seeing them together in the first place. I love this new grid pattern background stamp from Hero Arts/Studio Calico, and stamped on a “eggshell” colored Memory Box notecard with Pool shadow ink , it looks a lot like the vintage graph paper you can find. I also tossed on some Hero Arts Art Flowers and Mixed Accents. I used my quickie glue pen and ultrafine crystal glitter to bling up the butterflies. I was happy with how it turned out, and I know the friend I sent it to enjoyed it as well.
I finished my designs for my next card class this weekend. I am really pleased with how they came out. Check out my classes page for details of when and where you can take this fun class!
I had a chance to make this card for a special friend of mine.. who couldn’t live any farther away. I had a lot of fun cutting the pendants out of some October Afternoon paper, adding a little Tim Holtz tissue tape, and stamping with a fun Lawn Fawn set I recently got!
Hope this put a smile on her face.
