Welcome back to another "4 Crafty Chicks" challenge. This week, it is miss Amy's turn to throw out the "twist" for this week's Anything Goes challenge! 

4 CC #399 {Graduation!}

** Remember, our challenges are now always Anything Goes with the optional "twist" thrown in each week. You do not have to use the twist, but we would sure love it if you did! :)

For my card this week, I used some of Leanne's crafting goodies when I was visiting her in February...The "Celebrate" die is from Stampin' Up! called Celebrate You Thinlits and the cap die is from Impression Obsession called Grad Cap and Scroll. I also used the Fleur de Lis embossing folder for the background....

MM #284 {Red and White}

Welcome back to my blog! This week at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge, miss Marcia is our hostess and she's looking for us to use "red and white" on our cards:

I decided to do a very CAS card for Marcia's challenge but I love the WOW factor it produced:  

I just used a simple, gorgeous snowflake embossing folder from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from Hero Arts and I embossed it with white embossing powder. Very simple but so pretty! I love red and white together :)

Thanks so much for stopping in today - be sure to hop on over and see what the rest of the Merry Makers have created using Marcia's "red and white" challenge! Cheers!

4 CC #396 ANYTHING GOES

This card was extremely fun to make at card night a couple months back...it was very time consuming as you had to let each layer dry but oh my gosh - took me out of my comfort zone and got all inky and grungy and it was AWESOME! Thanks, Diane!

We Make the Perfect Blend!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog - today is the last Wednesday of the month, so that means it's my turn to share on the the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

This perfect blend trio comes from a super cute stamp/die set from Sunny Studio. I stamped the cups on Copic Paper and colored them up with my Copic Markers and die cut them out using the matching dies.

I stamped the steam and sentiment using my Misti, then positioned the die cut cups accordingly....so cute!!

Thank you so much for stopping in today to see what I've created for you this Wednesday...have a wonderful day - CHEERS!

MM #283 {Puppy Fun}

Welcome back to my blog! This week at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge, miss Leanne is our hostess and she's looking for us to use "a puppy" on our cards:

This little guy from High Hopes Stamps fit the challenge perfectly...isn't he adorable? 

I paper pieced the coffee mug and colored the rest of the image with my Copics then assembed the card with some pretty Christmas papers from Moda Scrap...

Thanks so much for stopping in today - be sure to hop on over and see what the rest of the Merry Makers have created using Leanne's "puppy" challenge! Cheers!

MM #282 Believe in the Magic of Christmas

Welcome back to my blog! This week at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge, Linda is our hostess and she's looking for us to use the following "inspiration photo" for the jump-off point for our cards:

I came across this super fun video from Jennifer McGuire and decided to give it a try. WHAT FUN! I can totally see myself using this set over and over for future one layer Christmas cards! Thank you, Jennifer! 

The stamp set is called Holiday Style from Sunny Studio and it's so versatile! There is a bell in the set too so you can do either that or an ornament like I did. I chose the greenery and red from Linda's photo as my inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping in today - be sure to hop on over and see what the rest of the Merry Makers have created using Linda's "inspiration photo" challenge! Cheers!

** Remember, our challenges are now always Anything Goes with the optional "twist" thrown in each week. You do not have to use the twist, but we would sure love it if you did! :)

This card is one that I cannot take credit for - my friend, Diane, sent this card front in our last Stampin' Up! order bags and I added some black brads in the corners and mounted it on black card stock. This pretty butterfly is from the "Beautiful Day" set from Stampin' Up! and I cannot wait to use it more - I love it! Thank you, Diane, for this beautiful card idea!

Paper Sweeties March 2018 Blast From the Past Day 2

Paper Sweeties has quite a few coffee, tea, cocoa themed stamp sets and dies - and this card is a favorite of mine that I made last year for the Coffee Lovers Spring Blog Hop! I used the You Warm My Heart Stamp Set and Sweet Cuts to make this cute shaker card! 

I used the teapot stamp and sweet cuts from the You Warm My Heart set plus I heat embossed the sentiment from the set as well. The shaker was made with the Sweet Cuts - With Love heart die and filled with the yummy Cupcake Sprinkles!

Paper Sweeties March 2018 Blast From the Past

Happy Wednesday everyone!

For the month of March, Paper Sweeties designers are hosting another "Blast from the Past" since we do not have a new release. 

For my card today, I am showing a card made with the super cute "Madison and Aloha" stamp sets and the "Oval Scallop Frames and Madison" Sweet Cuts:

I dressed Madison by paper-piecing and used the Oval Scallop Frame die to show her off - the hashtags are perfect and you will LOVE all the other sentiments included in this set! So fun!
