Bravo Collage

I assembled some shinies (every season since it's been a blur ;) ) from my scrap pile and arranged them on a glitter embossed background~

AALL & Create Crashing Waves (Embossed), Stamplorations Bravo die, Avery Elle Wonky Stitches, Erin Lee Creative Triangle Collage, Brutus Monroe Snowflake die/Leaves die

If you're new to glossy paper, my suggestion is this...

cut a section out you plan to use and keep the rest shiny.

I have well-loved cutting plates and they leave marks on the rest of the shiny sheet. 

Trust me, you will get hooked and wanna shiny up all kinds of cuttings!!!

I'm amazed I don't hoard the stuff; to be honest.

#1 KPop Fan

The Greeting Farm K-Pop Idols,Darice Elephant Leaf Embossing Folder, Sizzix Texture Fades Rays, We R Memory Keepers Next Level Embossing Folder, Circle Dies

I brought out three embossing folders, all from different companies, for this challenge ;).

I forgot I even had the Elephant Leaf one until I pulled them out to see what I could merge on a card.

The bottom strip was done with We R Memory Keepers and the top with a Sizzix Texture Fade.

Although done in white, the three folders give it loads of interest.

Love that I can make use of these texture makers!

Thank you for your visit today~

Peopley

 

I've had my eye on this peopley sentiment for awhile now, so I finally gifted myself with it. ;)

I want to use it on every card. ;)

I was feeling it before the great quarantine, to be honest.

LOVE people...but not so much swimming in the wild. ;)

I'm trying to be better about that, and I've learned to appreciate the opportunity.

Just Saying Hello Palm

 

I'm arranging cards with "I already stamped" elements.

I have amazing card prep piles, which have accumulated on my least creative days.

On those days, I stamp in various colors, with zero ambition to finish a card.

The Ton Stamps Happy Palm/Easy Expressions, Memory Box Sour Citrus Wedge die

I wasn't sure how I'd use this color, but look how happy this palm is, "planted" ;) on this card!

Have a Good Day Ladybug

I had this panel left over from a previous project, where the circles were staggered just so.

I was hoarding it for zero reason, but ladybug needed a home to land on~

I try not to be selfish with my fave papers, I really do!

I'm glad I have the matching dies for this set.

It allowed me to stamp in white so I could die cut and layer on black.

 I used a white Uni-ball pen to outline the image for a pop of fun. :)
