[Monochrome Blue] August: Simply Too Create DT

Hello! For this month's challenge at Simply Too Create, the theme is "Monochromatic". Please head on over and check out the challenge! Leave a comment if you submit an entry as I would love to check it out!

I decided to go for an all blue monochrome look as I was inspired by this ribbon I saw in my stash. I started out diecutting the "How Kind of You" Sizzlit sentiment in a baby blue cardstock. I had these wooden floral stamps that I stamped as a background in differing shades of blue. I mounted the panel on the same cardstock as the sentiment and topped it off with the ribbon that started it all :)

[Salt and Pepper] Brutus Monroe

Hey all! Valentine's Day is right around the corner! I created this card by cutting paper strips from the "Be Mine" Paper pad and staggering them on the left side.

[Oceans of Joy] Multi-Occasion Card

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set, Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card! I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...

All About Layering 3: AECP

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!! I was recently accepted into the Altenew Educator Certification Program and can’t think of a better way to start off the year! I think anyone who is a floral lover knows that Altenew has some of THE best stamps, dies and stencils. It was one of the first brands I purchased when I started out my paper crafting journey. Of course, they have so much more than florals in their shop and I am so excited to dive into this process. I’ve already started some of the classes and it has really reinvigorated my passion for crafting and card making. I’ve brushed on some techniques and also picked up some really great tips along the way! Let’s take a closer look at the first class I completed… The first class I did was the “All About Layering 3” course taught by Lydia Evans. To be honest, I went into this course thinking I was a Layering Expert (dare I say, Layering Queen .. I don’t think I’ve ever made a card without some sort of layering)…but to my surprise, I...
