House of Cards January Challenge

Hi, all, and Happy New Year! It's time for our first challenge of the year at House of Cards, and we have a super fun inspiration photo/challenge for you! We'd like you to...

Create a mixed media project and/or use these colors!

I decided to kinda do both. I chose to work with digital images from MHKDesigns to create a digital mixed media project that uses my scriptural theme for 2018! Take a peek...

I used images from the Butterfly Wisdom, Chicken In, and Fabulously Fall digital stamp sets, as well as paper from the Rosy Posy digital paper pack for this print. I love the bold colors and can't wait to have it framed and up in my home! What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments below! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take a bit of time to come and play along with us at House of Cards.  Don't forget to stop by the other DT members' blogs for even MORE amazing inspiration--they always blow me away!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

I decided to use the Holiday Deer and Santa's Sleigh digital stamp sets from MHKDesigns for my creation for the hop. Take a peek...

I started by creating a digital panel with some soon to be released digital paper and the image from the Holiday Deer digital stamp set. I colored the image with colored pencils and then added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to accent the image.

I matted the panel in black, then added some twine, a button, and a sentiment from the Santa's Sleigh digital stamp set, framed in silver glitter paper for added texture.  I love the way this turned out! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

House of Cards: August 2017 Challenge

Hi, everyone! Happy August! It's time for another challenge at House of Cards, and we have a wonderful inspiration for you! This month we want you to use floral images and or this color scheme...

I was inspired by the flowers and the purple tones, but decided to throw in some green, as well. ;) Take a peek at my completed card...

This card uses a monthly stamp set from Close to My Heart for the image and sentiment. I colored them in with a variety of glitter and neon gel pens from Sakura. I added some glittery dots to the corners of the focal panel as a finishing touch.

I matted the focal panel with glitter paper, then added it to the card base. The card base has papers from the Egg-cellent Easter digital paper pack from MHKDesigns. I love all the sparkle and shine on this card! I would love to hear what you think of this card in the comments below! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take a bit of time to come and play along with us at House of Cards.  Don't forget to stop by the other DT members' blogs for even MORE amazing inspiration--they always blow me away!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

House of Cards: July 2017 Challenge

Hey, everyone! It's time for another challenge at House of Cards and this month's inspiration is super fun! We are asking you to...

...use stripes and/or this color inspiration!

I kinda sorta used both. I did love the sunny stripes idea, but I also wanted to use a floral image. I decided to use digital stamps and papers from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop to create a one layer card using this inspiration! Take a peek...

The image and sentiment are from the Beauty digital stamp set and the papers are from the Sunflower Sampler (green polka dots) and Twinkle Twinkle Little Stripes (yellow *stripes*) digital paper packs. I added some Wink of Stella glitter to the leaves of the flower, but I was unable to photograph the shine properly. A few bits of bling from Close to My Heart added the finishing touch! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

House of Cards: Summer Blog Hop

Hi, all! Happy June! I hope your summer is off to a fun and fabulous start! It's time to celebrate the end of the first term at House of Cards and we have a super fun challenge for you! You should have arrived here from the HOC blog, but if not, make sure to stop by there for a full list of the hoppers! Remember, this hop only lasts until the 15th, so don't wait! Come join us today using this fabulous inspiration...

Isn't that the epitome of summer? I LOVE the beach and all the inspiration that it brings! I was inspired by the blue, white, and kraft colors plus the beach feel this photo has. Take a peek at my completed card...

I used Photoshop to create my focal panel using digital stamps from the Sea Creatures set by MHKDesigns and some brushes. I added a few white enamel dots to mimic more "clouds" and give a bit more dimension, aside from the sentiment.

The edges of the panel were distressed and I also added faux stitching for even more texture. I love the way this turned out! It's perfect for a guy's birthday or for anyone who loves the beach! What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Your next step on the hop is Judy's blog!  Make sure to stop by all the other gals' blogs to see what they have in store--they ALWAYS amaze me!  Have fun!  Happy hopping, all! :)
