Calling All Sistahs - Feb2017 Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends,

It's that time again... I'm joining the fabulous ladies over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps for their monthly Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop.  If you are not familiar with this hop... it's a fun and crafty way to remind you to do your monthly breast self exam and scheduled your yearly mammogram.

My card is a simple one.  I stamped a background of soft pink heart splashes.  Stamped the ribbon with the same soft pink ink and used my spectrum noir clear sparkle pen to watercolor the ribbon. Once dry, I stamped the "you are loved" sentiment, with fits the theme perfectly, using a darker pink ink. 

Thank you for stopping by today.  Your next hop should be to Claire's blog or the Cas-ual Fridays Stamp's blog.  Until next month... be good to yourself. 

Scrapy Land Challenge #60

Hello crafty friends,

Scrapy Land's Challenge #60 is all about adding texture to your cards/projects.  My card today has texture without being too bulky, so it's definitely mail'able.

As you can see I used my die to add texture... by die cutting several giraffes from the same card stock as my card front and gluing them directly onto the card front, I created visual texture and interest.  I ran with that idea and added die cute of the word Happy for more texture.

Here's a picture of the dies I used:

The Baby Giraffe can be found here.  The Die-Versions' Happy is not currently available, but Scrapy Land has many other word dies that would work... here's just a few of them.

Thanks for stop bye today.  Hope you'll join the fun at the Scrapy Land Challenge.  You have until 2/19 to submit your projects.  The winner, chosen by the design team, will receive a $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.
