Season's Greetings with Momenta

Hey Friends!

Today I'm sharing a Christmas greeting card I made with products from Momenta.

I used one of my favorite gradient papers from a paper pad, and stitched down some die cut snowflake borders.

I then used this wood veneer sticker & added some twine to the top for extra texture on my card.

I also used the new rubber stamps to  embellish the outside of my envelope! 

Hoping this festive card (and the photos of my cute kids inside) will bring Christmas joy in a few days!

Hey friends! You can find my last IRS project on the the Ink Road Stamps blog today!

I call this one frilly florals!

This is my last IRS project because I do not intend to reapply for the next design team. I had a great 2 year run and the product compensation is pretty fab! You will definitely still see me use tons of IRS products in my projects. I'm thankful for the positives this team brough into my crafty life!

You can find more about this project on the IRS blog. Thanks for looking, friends!

Hello from the IRS side

Scrap the Boys GDT

Hey friends!

I'm honored to be the Gueset Designer this month for the Scrap the Boys card challenge. The theme this month is geometric.

I've been enjoying my Harry Potter stamps lately, so I was inspired to use them on this card!

I used black, shine texture paste through an octogonal stencil on the background.

I mimicked that geometric shape with my glitter piece here and other octogonal embellishments.

The background paper of my sentiment cluster includes triangles as well.

I backed the card on kraft, and stamped Harry on kraft as well. I love this color combo for fall (Please come on, fall!)

I hope you'll go play along with Scrap the Boys! Their blog is so inspiring!

Neon Man Card - Scrap the Boys

Hey friends!

Today I'm bringing you a card I did using the mood board at Scrap the Boys. My son also wanted to create a card using the mood board! He kept gasping and giggling as he was creating it, enjoying how it was coming out. It was adorable!

We didn't have exactly the right colors for the mood board in paper, so we inked ups some white cardstock, and it worked perfectly!

We were definitely inspired by the leaves and the bright blues and green. The tropical feel was great too.

Heath loved creating the die cuts with my Big Shot.

I'm putting sequins on a card, I don't care who ya are.

I think I will definnitely be using this color pallette again for a scrapbook page - I love it!

Merry Mail!

I'm sharing the holiday greeting cards I created for my crafty friends this year. It's nice to make pretty cards for those who you know appreciate a handmade item. These were actually the only ones I sent out! I feel like everyone get enough photos of my little ones throughout the year on social media, so it's a bit redundant.

But these were super fun to create. I did a non-traditional Christmas color palette, added sparkle, sparkle & more sparkle & tada!

I used Pearly shimmer something or other from Stampin' up for this wreath embossing, and I love how it turned out.

I used an Ink Road stamp from the Fir Real set for the merry and bright sentiment. I stamped it in a rose gold and embossed with iridescent glitter.

I found this adorable little Christmas Card list book at the thrift store - completely blank! The pages were old looking & I knew they would be wonderful for some Christmas projects.

I used some white glitter ribbon, tulle and a snowflake button here with some hot glue.

This wreath was embossed with heat and stick powder & I added fine, green glitter.

I cut all of the branches out of glitter cardstock on my Cricut.

I had so much fun creating these girly cards!

I always try to think of what I would like to receive in the mail, and the answer basically always includes lots of glitter.

I inked all the edges with the same rose gold I used for the sentiment to bring all the elements of the card together and give it an aged look.

 

I hope my crafty friends enjoy their holiday cards! I also hope they all make it in fair condition. I put a piece of cardboard or bubble envelope over each card for safe mailing.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today I'm bringing you the Mother's Day cards I made for my mom & my mother in law.

I used a fun sketch from Sketches in Thyme.

I rotated the sketch. My parents and my family are going on a cruse soon, so I was in a tropical state of mind making these!

Here is the original sketch:

I used Heidi Swapp Shine on this one, and watercolors on the other. I cannot really decide which I prefer!

I attempted some hombre embossing on the pineapple stamp.

Happy Mother's Day to you all!
