One more card using things from my UFO pile for Donna Lewis' Finished In Feb challenge! This was a very quick card to make - the yupo panel with a rainbow of alcohol inks was already in my UFO pile, as was the die cut heart. The sentiment is a foiled and die cut sentiment that I have pre-made (I have heaps of them in ziploc bags!), so all I needed to do was adhere these to a card base and add some embellishments! Easy peasy!

Here's another card I made to join in with Donna Lewis' Finished in February challenge! I had this die cut panel in my UFO pile (held together with some Press n Seal), so I added some ink blending and some die cuts (and glitter and shine never go astray!)

Stay Crafty - daffodils

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support!   

 

This month's Stay Crafty Challenge with a Blog Named Hero is "Build me up, Buttercup" - use a floral image. I've used the February layering stencils of the month , along with a sentiment stamp from this month's Hero Studio kit. This layering stencil sold out within 2 days of release, so I've made a 2nd card that is a CASE of the first, using older products from Hero Arts.

 My friend Donna set herself a challenge to go through her UFO pile (UnFinished Objects) and make some cards with them. I have an embarrassingly large UFO Pile, so I'm joining in with Donna! 

I found amongst my UFOs a panel of watercolour paper that I had stamped and white embossed with a background stamp from Impression Obsession. I added some colour with Zig markers and sprayed with water. I cut the panel in half (gotta love a good two for one moment!) and added a die cut and layered sentiment from Paper Rose.

 On Wednesday, I shared a card using a rainbow of cardstock cut and arranged using the Sun Rays Die from Waffle Flower. 

You didn't honestly expect me to stop at just one, did you? 

For this card, I highlighted the sunrays using faux stitching, and added a sentiment die cut from glitter cardstock. Some black enamel dots were the finishing touch!

CASE it Hop

 Today, I'm taking part in the CASE it hop on Instagram - I have CASEd a card by Meg Brooks!

 

I used alcohol inks over silver glitter cardstock, and then added some die cuts from the February release from Hero Arts.
This is the card I CASEd (posted here with Meg's permission) - you can find her IG post HERE! 

I included the alcohol ink and the die cut sentiment. I added glitter paper and excluded white space. I changed the butterflies to a ladybird, and I changed the black border to white. (The ladybird is part of a die set that is only available with the entire Hero Studio release)

Mini Slimline fancy fold card for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a fun fold card using the Candy Treats suite of products from Paper Rose Studio.

I created a mini-slimline Z fold card with an angled front from white cardstock. I chose patterned paper from the Candy Kisses 6x6 paper collection and cut three different pieces to cover the 3 panels of my folded card, allowing a small white border. I chose a striped teacup with macarons (yum!) from the Candy Treats Embossed die cuts set, and adhered it to the front panel. I cut a sentiment from the patterned paper and adhered it with foam tape to the front panel.
