SSS Wednesday Challenge

Since I had a snow day today, I got some extra time to do some crafting! YAY! I had some card ideas in my head, including a Valentine's one, so when I saw that Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge was featuring hearts, I knew I had to enter my card! Here it is:

The square in the middle is a vellum pocket sealed with love printed wash tape and filled with sequins. The heart is Copic colored white card stock and cut with a heart shaped punch. It's so girly and simple at the same time! Love it!

I ordered a WPlus9 stamp and die set last week, and been having fun with it! When I get some more time, I'll share my creations! I also ordered some sequins from PrettyPinkPosh, and I'm so excited for those to come in!

Thanks for stopping by!

From one crafter to another

Knowing that I am a crafty person - my friend (who is also crafty) who is due in March with her first child asked me to make her a cloud mobile for the nursery. She had seen one that she liked on Pinterest/Etsy that cost way more than she thought. Even though I am more of a card-maker, I do very much enjoy all paper crafts, so I was up for the challenge! Here is what I created:

I thought it came out awesome! I already had the white card stock, so I just had to buy the cloud dies and some fishing line. I ended up getting these from Simon Says Stamp. I gave the mobile to her as a baby gift - and she loved it! YAY!

I also wanted to share a new card technique that I've been trying out. Its like a splotched watercolor technique. I saw Kristina Werner do it in this video (and I've seen other people do it too - I just can't remember who!) Here's my version of that watercolor technique on a sympathy card:

I just love the look of it! It's so simple and classy. The sentiment and ribbon are from Stampin' Up.

That's all for today! Ta-ta for now!
