It's The Little Things

Hey there my followers, family and friends,

Today I am showcasing a card I made to enter the "Don't Throw it Away Challenge" from Moxie Fab World. This card is clean and simple using bubble wrap as the "Don't throw away" item. I also entered this in Stamp TV's "Going Green" challenge. Its was really fun looking at the items I normally throw away thinking how can I use this or how can I use that and on and on it went till I saw the sentiment I used and thought "It is the Little Things" in life, like popping bubble wrap , that can sometimes put a smile on my face. Now I have a interactive card used with recycled plastic bubble wrap....lol
I hope this will inspire you to think out of the box and look around...you never know what you might find. Thanks to "Paper Crafts" magazine, Moxie and "Stamp TV" for inspiring me.
Pray you all have a wonderul day...Thanks for stopping in (((HUGS)))

"I’m So Proud of You" card using the Letterpress Technique

I recently entered a couple of Stamp TV challenges and one of them was using a technique called “letterpress”. You can watch Gina’s tutorial for this technique here Distressed Letterpress - stampTV. I LOVE it…here is the card I made to enter the challenge along with a list of products used. I hope you are inspired to try it out…this technique renders a very rich and unique card that is sure to please any recipient. While I have never done a tutorial I am willing to try it if you would like. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and have a fantabulous day. (((HUGS)))

Country Thanks

I really like the way this thank you card turned out. I made it to enter Stamp TV's "Mix It Up Monday - Black, White and One Color" challenge. I love the simplicity of it . First I stamped and embossed the label image from Gina K's "Wishing You Joy" stamp set with versamark watermark stamp pad (ink is clear and stays tacky and wet until set with heat) sprinkled black "Super Fine Detail" embossing powder by Ranger then heat set with a heat embossing tool. I then stamped my focal image from Stampin Up's "Wanted" stamp set in Tuxedo black "Memento" ink. Cut frame and Image out  using the Nestibilities "Label 16" die, layer on top of designer paper with foam tape, attach thank you label and some green shoe lace to look like a lasso with mini glue dots. This could be used for mass production or a fast go to design. Your comments are appreciated. Thank you so much for visiting and keep up the crafting...(((HUGS)))
