Less is More - Spiders/Insects

Time for another challenge over at Less is More.  This week our theme is Spiders/Insects!  Perfect timing since Halloween is around the corner and I have a few spider stamps that would work just perfectly with this theme.

Here is my take on the challenge...hope you join us!

Never thought of making Halloween cards, but this critter is just too cute.
I started by using distress ink to color some embossing paste.  I then stamped, cut and colored my spider.

I heat embossed the sentiment and then adhered everything to this small square cardstock.

I'm really liking the smaller square cards.  They fit into a A4 envelop, but are so cute!

Here's a close up of the card.

You can see the dimension I created by popping up the happy spider and the sentiment banner on foam.

Come on over and join us, we would love to see what you come up with!

CAS on Sunday - Embossing

It's time for another challenge over at CAS on Sunday.  The theme for this challenge is Embossing! One of my favorite techniques!  Hope you have a chance to join us, would love to see what you come up with!

Here is my take on the challenge...normally, I'm not a Halloween person, but just love the stamp sets for Halloween, making this my favorite time of year for card making!

I started by stamping and coloring my main image.

I then used distress ink to color some embossing paste and used a stencil to add some texture to my background.

I then picked stamped and heat embossed my sentiment and added it to the bottom.  I popped up my main image and the sentiment on foam tape and done!

Here's a close up of the card.  You can see the texture of the background...super fun!

Hope you join us, we would love to see what you come up with!

Less is More - Tactile

Back from a bit of vacation and boy has it been busy.  Been hitting the tennis court and am getting back into it...was a bit rusty, but working that out.

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  The theme for this challenge is Tactile. This challenge will run for two weeks, so you have lots of time of join in on the fun.

Here's my take on the challenge...

I love these little snow peeps...they are so cute.  I started by die cutting the snow peeps from my main panel.  I then stamped and colored the images from the negative space.  Once colored with copics, I glued them onto the folding card stock.

I then took the top layer and stamped my sentiment. I then used embossing paste along with my snowflake stencil---love that embossing paste.

Lastly, I adhered the top panel to the folding card stock and the snow peeps peek out perfectly!

Here is a bit of a close up that shows the dimension of the embossing paste and the cut panel.

A fun and quick Christmas Card---in July!

Would love to see what you come up with...
