CFC166 - Music to my Ears

Happy Friday friends. There's a new challenge starting today at CAS-ual Fridays and this time, we want to see music on your cards and projects.

I decided to make a Christmas card and I searched through my stash of patterned papers until I found something music related. I love the subtle musical note background on this paper. I trimmed my paper down and then took some embossing paste and added it through this gorgeous Flourish stencil.  

I stamped my sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Snowy Sayings stamp set and popped it up on foam tape. I did decide to give my card panel a bit of roughing up by distressing the edges - this is something I used to do a few years ago but it's been quite some time since I've done such since. 

I do hope you will hop on over to the challenge blog and enter something. You have the chance to win up to a $50 gift certificate to CAS-ual Fridays. Now that would make for a fun shopping spree. 

Thanks for visiting and crafty hugs!

I'm back again for TupeloDesignsLLC and this time, I have a fun Christmas card to share with you today.

Okay, back to my card. Now normally, I would have probably added a different sentiment to this card but I am trying my best to be more on top of my Christmas card making throughout this entire year. So I decided that this could pass for a Christmas card.

I first started by taking the Split Chevron Cover-up die from MFT and I die cut it 3 times out of some glittery silver card stock, aqua card stock and some purple card stock. I then cut a white card panel that was the same size of the die and completely covered it with adhesive. I then took the outline portion from the aqua piece and adhered it to that piece of white card stock.

Then came the fun part. I chose several of the pieces and somewhat randomly, somewhat planned, inlaid the interior pieces - just like putting together a puzzle. And the best part? I still have all the pieces to make two more cards - one will have the glittery silver outline and the other will have the purple outline.

Once all my pieces were adhered, I heat embossed my sentiment from MFT's Hand Lettered Holiday stamp set using silver embossing powder and this heat gun. I then added it with foam tape. I then adhered the entire panel to my card base with lots of foam tape.  Some clear droplets and I have one more card for my 2017 Christmas card stash.

A Butterfly Note card for Clearly Whimsy Stamps

Welcome friends and thank you so much for stopping by today. I have a real CAS card to share with you today for Clearly Whimsy Stamps.

I am using the newly released and ever so gorgeous Flight of the Butterflies stamp set.  I did a bit of measuring and then with the help of my Misti, got set to stamping my butterflies in rainbow colors.  You can't tell in the photo but each butterfly did get a coat of some clear Wink of Stella.

I decided to finish off the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and then stamped the same butterfly in a few colors.

Even though this card is super simple, I absolutely love it. I love the simplicity of it. I love the colors. I love that it will be super flat for mailing.

A big thank you to each of you for taking time to come visit me today. I hope you are having a great week. Crafty hugs!

Happy Tuesday friends. I have two cards to share with you today for TupeloDesignsLLC. Both use the gorgeous Etched Flower background set from MFT.

For my first card, I heat embossed the Etched Flower set with some rose gold embossing powder. I then die cut this panel using the largest die from Lawn Fawn's Large Dotted Stitched Rectangle dies. I then heat embossed my sentiment which comes from MFT's Deepest Sympathy set. I added it with foam tape. 

For my second card, I first started by taking some Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks and smooshed them onto some acetate. I then took my acetate piece and transferred the ink to my card panel. I did this about three different times. After it was dry, I stamped the panel with the Etched Flower set using Versafine Black Onxy Ink.

I then stamped and die cut the sentiment using Reverse Confetti's Whole Lotta Thanks set and coordinating dies. Some matte enamel dots finish off the card.

Thanks so much for visiting. Remember that you still have until the end of January to shop at TupeloDesignsLLC and receive lots of free gifts in honor of their birthday. Click here for the details. And there is still FREE shipping in the USA with no minimum purchase.
