It is a Spring-like colour combo of mint, aqua and pink for Color Throwdown 427: I wouldn’t be surprised if another one similar to this comes up in April! Here is what I made: I decided that although Spring-y, the combination could also work for a Valentine’s Day card. Those are die cut hearts behind…

CASology 233 – glisten
GLISTEN is the cue card for CASology 233: I loved this as a cue card. It has so many possibilities! I wish I had thought of stars, but I went with water: I have been hoarding this DoCrafts paper and use it sparingly. I felt the rain drops would work here. I think it’s so…
SIP 83 – sketch
Hello! It’s a fun sketch challenge for Stamp Ink Paper #83: Here is my card: There’s a light blue embossed panel for the background, a crazy pattern to kind of carry on the them of the patterned paper. A pun can often cheer someone up. I know this one makes me giggle! Inked edges in…
CTD 426 – grey, red & kraft
The colour combination for Color Throwdown 426 is grey, red and kraft: It’s a versatile and exciting combination. I considered a Valentine’s Day card, but went for something different instead: I hadn’t had a chance to use the bow dies yet, and I wanted to take them for a spin. Pretty cute I think! I…
CASology 232 – cut
The cue card for week 232 at CASology is cut: I have a die cut for a pair of scissors and wracked my brain to come up with an idea to use that, to no avail. Instead, I went with a “girl’s best friend”: I used an embossing folder with a diamond and sentiment then…
SIP 82 – natural elements
Challenge 82 at Stamp Ink Paper is natural elements, a refreshing prompt that makes me think of the warmer seasons to come. I used a wood grain embossing folder for the background panel to start the natural elements right away. I added some twine and some spray inked, die cut feathers. Finally, I kept the…
CYCI 144 – watermelon, aqua, grey & white
It’s colour challenges for a bit over at Can You Case It. This time ’round the colours are: Here is what I made with the combination: I used a light grey journaling card with a neat white plus sign pattern on it for my middle panel. For the watermelon, I made some diamond die cuts…
Fusion card challenge – 3rd anniversary
I had been meaning to take part in the Fusion card challenge for a while now, and it happened to be their third anniversary! challenge that I took the plunge: Here is what I came up with: I chose both the sketch and the photo. The elements I went with were the brown from the…
CTD 425 – black, mustard, blue
The colour combination over at Color Throwdown is black, mustard and blue: I agree with Barbara Anders in that this colour combination can work well to create a masculine card. That is the direction I took as well: I don’t have a great amount of embellishments, but I wanted to add something so I went…
CASology 231 – forest
The cue card for week 231 at CASology is forest: As previously mentioned, I had already packed away my winter and Christmas supplies so I panicked a bit. The result is a bit of a stretch… I incorporated the colour green and a plant stamp to bring in at least some elements of the traditional…
S.I.P. 81 – black, white and…
Hey there! The colour challenge at Stamp Ink Paper this week is black, white and a bit of colour: As February is coming up and I have been seeing so many fantastic black, white and red Valentine’s Day cards, I chose red as my additional colour. I have been drawn to cards with embossed layers…
Super 6 Of ’16
Here are my six favourite cards from 2016. It was a fun year where things really seemed to come together cards-wise. Here’s to continued enjoyment and improvement! I picked cards that I liked both when I made them, and still now months later. I have to say that the additions to my tool box have…
