I spread a little paste through a stencil for some texture:


hardest part is waiting for it to dry. ;)

Hello Awesomeness



I got the snapdragon set awhile ago (meaning to create for my friend), and I finally made something.


Altenew Wave Form Cover Die/Build-a-Flower Snapdragon/Retro Plantines sentiment
 



This lovely trio of colors led the creating for me:

Water Tracker Stand Mushroom


I've been dreaming up this concoction for awhile now~


After months of searching for the right sentiment and presentation, I've designed my first water tracker!


ugh, I love it.


The Ton Stamps Plan With Me: Health, Lawn Fawn Plan on It Calendar numbers, Sizzix Display Stand die, Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle Infinity dies, Whimsy Stamps Build-a-Fairy Garden die, Papertrey Ink Eyelet Lace die, Pink and Main Stitched Slimline dies, My Favorite Things Color Drops dies



First of all, water bottle images are rare.

I scored big with The Ton Stamps Plan With Me: Health set.

It has a fun sentiment AND a beautiful water bottle image.


The Papertrey Ink border die (one of the first dies I ever owned) lined up my holes and numbers near perfect.

Also, that Whimsy Stamp mushroom has big impact and it's easy to design around.








It's so sad, 



but this is the last challenge for Watercooler Wednesday.





 











I appreciate your sweet visit today~

These fold flat to fit in an envelope! ;)

DT INkspirational Shaped Cards



It's time for another INkspirational Challenge!



Reverse Confetti Lovely Tag Confetti cuts/2 Way Stripes Tag, Sunny Studio Berry Bliss Strawberries, Honey Bee Stamps Inside: Thankful Sentiments, 


 

The prompt is Shaped Cards, so I came up with a card that was cut from a tag die.

Super easy to do...



If you're like me and you've created a tag you LOVE...but can't seem to figure out how to place on a card....

make it a card!


This isn't mind blowing ;), but I'll show you the cut anyway... 





As long as you sit the die above the fold...you can make any shaped card you like!



I set that tag right on top of the card cut out.


Another thing...if you've kicked yourself for not buying the Reverse Confetti Topped Off Tag, like I did (CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE)...but you bought one of the fancy tags for the top of it (like the 2 Way Stripes that's on sale)...


the new Lovely Tag Confetti cuts is pretty darn close.

I cut it in green and then the 2 Way Stripes Tag Layer in grey and angled it a smidge. 

I used a hole punch to cut any extra in the hole so the ribbon could fit through. 


The hole reinforcer from the Lovely Tag set will cover any extra from the 2 Way.


I might be the only cardmaker that found herself in this dilemma, but I'm kicking it out there. ;)







You. Have. Got. To. See. What. My. Team mates. Created!!!

My goodness they all have such amazing designs to share with you, so please visit our challenge blog and join us with your unique creation~

Thank you for your sweet visit today~

Hello Beautiful



This is a very big card, but I had to!



 Memory Box Lady Dancing die, Tonic Studios Mirror cardstock, Pink and Main Slimline dies/Beautiful Slimline sentiment die, The Ton Stamps Dew Drop Clear Enamel Dots
 

It's a slimline die IN a card but I wanted to include the image and sentiment.


Also, there's acrylic paint washi blocked on a diagonal below the sentiment.




I love Michele's use of the negative die sentiment and I did the same on my card with patterned paper~

Ballerinas and shiny clear droplets always add elegance ;).

Bloom and Grow Place Card

 




Concord & 9th Stuck on You, Sizzix ScoreBoards Eileen Hull Place Card die, The Ton Stamps Garden Goddess Sentiment, This & That Paper Pad patterned paper strip



I came up with a little 3D project, thanks to this inspirational challenge:





I wanted to try out this place card die with chipboard and I immediately thought of the chunky Stuck on You die from Concord & 9th. ;)





Here's hoping your week is trucking along ok...


I appreciate the time you take to stop by~
