Sunday Haul #19

Lots of planner supplies came in the mail this week. Still waiting on one more package of stickers that I ordered a few weeks back.

I grabbed two full kits and and functional stickers from Brianna Nicole Designz. That Pink Fall kit is to die for! I adore the colors.

I took advantage of $2 Tuesday sale at Nerd’s the Word to grab these Just Boxes sheets. I am going to love doing monochromatic spreads next year (and a rainbow one and a coffee one).

The Reset Girl just released her newest collection Little Things and I adore all the patterns and colors for this season in my Memory Planner.

A Witchy Birthday

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Halloween card. When I made this card a few weeks back, I hadn't decided to buy any Halloween stamps. (I eventually bought the Sweet Treats bundle because I just really enjoy the bats) So I looked at the paper I had and realized that fussy cutting the witch and cauldron wouldn't be that hard. And so a card was born! I added some fun background paper, a strip of something else and a die cut sentiment. I love how the polka dots on the witch's outfit mirror the polka dots on the background paper.

It's Moving Day!

Unknown.jpg

The day is here! Goodbye sunny moderate California, hello blustery and chilly Nebraska! The boys and I are on a plane leaving the west coast for a quick trip to Indiana before driving over to Nebraska and settling into our new home. It's going to take me a few days to unpack my craft supplies, but thankfully I thought ahead and scheduled some projects to feature on the blog. I'll share photos of the new house once we get in.

Stained Glass Butterfly

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using embossing. My favorite type of embossing is definitely heat embossing. I started with the idea of using the stained glass technique to highlight the heat embossing. I heat embossed the butterfly and then colored the back of the vellum using Stampin' Blends. From there I pulled some DSP that featured my three color choices and worked well together. It's hard to see in the picture below, but the butterfly really shines in person.

Sunday Haul #18

Blitsy was having a giant warehouse sale as they are moving. I snagged a few things from the sale. They had Happy Memory Keeping planners on sale so I got this cute colorful one to us next year. I also grabbed this Berry Lechtturm for my bujo for 2019. Also I snagged a sticker pack and two small stamps.

A Fall Hello

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using your favorite Fall Color Combo. I love the rich yellow and oranges of the changing leaves. In just a few days, I'll actually get to see some changing leaves when I fly to Indiana before moving to Nebraska. For my card, I wanted to feature those wonderful colors and so I pulled out my Brusho crystals in yellow and gamboge to create this fun background piece. From there I just accessorized with some ribbon and a great raised sentiment.
