Craft Your Passion#266

Good Morning! So glad you visited again!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

We have a Craft Your Passion#266 live. This week we are sponsored by Di's Digis.

Since it is Anything Goes always, I decided to go CAS this time. I seem to be enjoying making CAS cards! I began with a SSS die cut - Thank you ticket & glued a panel of WRMK - Retro Glam Glamour Glitter to pop up the sentiment. This was then placed on DP (Simple stories - I am) with foam tape & silver thread to jazz it up. I finished this simple stylish card with Ranger white enamel accents.

Here is a close up of the glittery thank you panel.

Note Cards

Hi!

I recently participated in a Friendship Blog Hop hosted by a blogger pal Riti. The theme was to make a set of 8 Notecards with envelopes.

Used my favorite stamp (Penny Black - Tiger Lily) & Chameleon Markers to make the set.

To begin I die cut rectangles (SSS - stitched rectangles) from white card stock & stamped the images. All the images were colored with Chameleon Markers & to add a bit of shimmer I used the clear Wink of Stella. The coordinating colored mats were embossed using Itsy Bitsy embossing folder - Spots.

For the envelopes I stamped the same image in Versamark ink -

Loved the entire set! Colorful, isn't it!!!

Shaker Card

Hello friends!

Welcome here again!

At Lulupu Challenge#50 the theme this month is Summer Splash. For my DT post I decided to go with the "beach" theme & made a shaker card.

To create the sand texture I added a few drops of Vintage photo reinker to DecoArt Texture sand paste, very happy with the outcome. Do you agree?

The shaker element of the card is the sea. For this I sprayed the piece of CS with LSG starburst Blue Hawaiian Blue & let it dry. I randomly stamped dotted curved to create the waves (Colorbox Aqua). Some adorable sea creatures charms I had in my stash were perfect creatures for the shaker!
