Faith Bubbles



It's no secret I love these bubbles...


Simon Says Stamp Painted Faith, Technique Tuesday Bubbles on the Border (random heart scrap)



 They needed a home as well as the random heart that was cut out.

~Whom My Soul Loves~



I needed a wedding card~


Verve Stamps More Than Love, My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circles,Technique Tuesday Bubbles on the Border




Using the cottage florals photo of weathered wood backing up bright florals...card DONE! YAY!




https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-card-concept-112-cottage-florals.html




I opted for die cut patterned paper vs stamped flowers, because this paper has the wedding colors of coral and mint.

All I needed to add was their third color of gold in smidges. ;)

Thanks for stopping by~

Be Fabulous



I feel super accomplished when I get a gifty card done.


 Ranger Dina Wakley Fashion Forward, My Favorite Things Tall Tag Duo/Gift Card Grooves, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles,Rhonna Farrer Autumn Leaves Adhesive Mats (circa 2006)





 My friend is a reader so I know she could use one of these~







The challenge photo at Just Add Ink had me thinking pink and green rectangles.

These adhesive mats are circa 2006 and they had both those colors...


amazingly, they still stick!

Your Hospitality




I was just thinking about how I haven't cracked open this set from Practical Publishing.


Practical Publishing Home Sweet Home, Avery Elle Wonky Stitches



I saw this challenge and knew I had zero excuse not to!


 
 http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2019/04/just-us-girls-482-word-week.html



The patterned paper is from Papertrey Ink Winter Woods~I've been hoarding it since I can't get it anymore.

Ridiculous, I know.

It looks better on a card. ;)

It determined my color scheme.

 
 I placed the house die cut down first...and lay the window element stamp down.

I used my Misti stamp positioner to pick it up.

Before I inked it up,

 removed the die so I could stamp under the house.

I repeated this for three windows and lay the white house down over the stamped windows.

Then I die cut a colored house and trimmed away for the window frames and door.


I hope that makes sense, I wanted to share the process in case you have this set and aren't sure how to go about it.

I'm afraid it took me a few tries to figure out what was what.

Thanks for stopping by today~

~Pinata Burst~




My Favorite Things Pinata Die-namics/Fiesta Die-namics, confetti:remnants from Practical Publishing Home Sweet Home


It hit me this morning that my pinata dude (sitting in my remnants from months ago) would be perfect for this fun prompt:

What stumped me was the confetti.

Then I cut a house die ...windows fell out, and BOOM...magic!

Love when that happens ;).
