WCMD 2017 - StampNation

Hi everyone!  We kicked off the first challenge for WCMD 2017 over on StampNation this morning.  We have challenges being posted all weekend long.  The theme for this years WCMD event is following a world traveler who has journaled her travels around the world.

Each challenge is based on her journal entry.  We will be traveling to Canada, Spain, & Australia, just to name a few.

Her first stop is Canada.  The challenge is to be inspired by the gorgeous scenery found in the Canadian Rockies and create a scene on your card.

Here's a peek at my card..

Members can view the challenge here.

I created another card to share here on my blog using the same supplies.

I am in love with this mountain stamp by Papertrey Ink.  Makes great masculine cards.

I hope you will join us over on StampNation for WCMD!  There are lots of prizes up for grabs, but you have to be a member to play and win.  Look at this amazing line up of sponsors!

Joy to the World

Hi everyone!  I was inspired to create this card after seeing the sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch! & the challenge over at Merry Monday!  I haven't played over at Merry Monday in a long time so thought it was time as Christmas is fast approaching.

I am still in love with this crooky tree.  It is so easy to stamp.

Here is the sketch I followed, I flipped it!

AND the graphic at Merry Monday!

Color Throwdown

Hi everyone!  I was inspired to use the colors for this week's Color Throwdown challenge & the fox.

This fox from the Stylized Autumn stamp set is my all time favorite.  I am also loving the pattern behind the circle.  That is the Lattice Frame Die from the SOA Naturally Inspired collection and will be up for sale in Catherine's shop real soon.  

I will be back soon with another card using this color combo.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Harleen Christmas & WCMD

Hi everyone!  I am back today with a couple more cards to share with you using the Harleen stencil.  I posted here about making some Christmas cards similar to the birthday cards I created.  I added a bit of sparkle to these though.

This first one is the exact same layout and design as the birthday cards, I just switched out the colors and sentiment.   I did add the twine at the top and also used Glass Bead Glitter Gel over the green sponged diamonds.  This reminds me of the bottom of an elf's skirt.  :)

This one I decided to place the stencil on an angle and add the Glass Bead Glitter Gel over the red.  The red got muted quite a bit and looks a little pink now.  Next time I will mix some red re-inker in with the Glass Bead Glitter Gel to get a true red.  I like how they turned out though.

I am adding one of these over at Christmas Card Challenges.

Also playing over at HLS October CAS Challenge.

I am SO excited for our big WCMD 2017 event over on StampNation.  It is always a fun time with lots of challenges and prizes!  Here is a little peek...

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Clean & Simple Birthday

Hi everyone!  I have a couple more CAS birthday cards to share with you today using the Harleen Stencil.

A feminine one....

and a masculine one....

I can think of a few more color combos to use with this design.  I think I need to get this stencil out again and play some more.  The sentiment is from the Young at Heart stamp set.  

Hmm, just seeing these designs made me think of Christmas cards too.  I think I will make some using Christmas colors and a sentiment.

I am adding these over at Addicted to Stamps and more: Anything goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
