Just Popping in with Some Cards

Hey Friends!!

Just popping in with some cards that are for an Instagram Hop. The challenge is to use the same products in three different projects. The theme for this month was Summer. I used the Waffle Flower Crafts Happy Crabs and Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layer: Small Seashells on my cards as the primary elements that stayed the same.

The first card I designed I created the background beach scene with Salty Ocean Distress Ink, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Copic Markers and some white acrylic paint.

I die cut the crab from red cardstock and used foam adhesive to pop up the large shell. I die cut the shells in white and colored them in with a combo of Distress Ink and Copic Markers.

The net is from Tutti Designs and I die cut it from Kraft cardstock.

My second card I used the crabs, the shells and the Waffle Flower Crafts Coastline dies (some of my new favorite!!!)

Once again, I used a combination of Distress Ink and Copic Markers for my beach. The water color I used Salty Ocean for both the light and darker blue with the Coastline Stencil for the waves. 

The sentiment is from Pink and Main's Smooth Sailing Stamp Set. Of the three, this is my FAVORITE card that I created.

My last card I created I added a life saver ring die by Sugar Pea Designs, a company that is now out of business.

I layered my little scene over an Altenew Mighty Wave embossed panel. Instead of red, I used a blue scrap of cardstock to die cut my crab. Isn't he cute?

I am also going to enter this card into the Card Concept's Challenge #218. I was inspired by the shell theme, not the colors.

Well, that is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

I stamped the background with Altenew Azurite Ink and a background stamp from The Craft Consortium.

The thanks sentiment is from my stash. I have no clue who made it!! The scalloped circle die is from My Favorite Things. The tiny butterfly I found on my desk and decided to add it last minute. It is from a die set by Waffle Flower.

Christmas in July

 Hello Crafty Friends!!!

I am just popping in with a card that I created for a few challenges. It is all about Christmas in July!!!

I started off my card by embossing a white cardstock panel with the Holly and Foliage embossing folder by Spellbinders.

I used pieces of the rainbow from the Pinkfresh Studio's Elevated Rainbows die for the red pieces on my card. I accented it with a poinsettia die cut from the Spellbinders Christmas Wreath Add On set.

The joy is from a limited addition stamp/die set from Concord & 9th. The gems are Ruby Glitter Drops from Pinkfresh Studio.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card: Jingle Belles-Poinsettia Perfection, CAS on Friday-Christmas in July, Color Hues Challenge-Red and White, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Emboss It.

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

I used the Sunflower Botanicuts from The Greetery that were already created from my stash. I usually make a bunch of extras when I am die cutting so when I need them for something I have them.

The brown pattern paper is from an old Jillibean Soup paper pad and I used the Spellbinders Argyle Plaid embossing folder for the embossed background.

The sentiment is from The Greetery’s All Occasion Script Sentiments set.

I have been admiring a bunch of lemon cards as of late so I dug out an OLD Spellbinder's lemon die that I have had for YEARS and decided to use that as the centerpiece of my card.
