Is it Winter Yet?

I can't believe that I didn't know there is a Taylored Expressions challenge blog! I am excited to start participating in the Share Joy Challenge blog, especially because they encourage to actually send your card to someone :) It is so fun to make the cards, but they often end up in a drawer until I need it. But why not send a "just because" card? This is the challenge inspiration (I chose to use just the sketch):

Here are the materials I used:

• Summer Grumplings stamp and die cut sets by Taylored Expressions
• Soak Up the Sun paper pack by Carta Bella
• glossy accents
• copics- C5, C7, W0, R81, YR16
• memento ink- tuxedo black
• coordinating twine

Hoppy Easter

 I had fun merging these two challenges today! The sketches were very similar and the Fusion Challenge had a Pretty in Pink theme while the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #259 had a dreaming of spring theme. I tried to merge the themes, too. Here are the sketches that inspired it and the materials I used:

 

• Magical Spring stamp and die cut sets by Paper Smooches
• Springtime paper pack by Authentique 
• stitched square die cuts by My Favorite Things 
• copics- W00, W0, W1, W2, RV11
• glossy accents (on the nose and teeth)
• memento ink- tuxedo black and navy blue

double, double toil and trouble

The apothecary shelf stamp is really versatile. I am currently into making Halloween cards so I had to make one with the shelf. Here is what I used:

• toil and trouble stamp set by Taylored Expressions
• apothecary shelf stamp by Taylored Expressions
• paper- authentique (thrilling paper pack)
• colorbox- blackbird
• orange scrap paper
• memento ink- tuxedo black
• copic markers- N1, N3, N4, N6, N7, YR07, YR16, Y38, YG01, YG03, YG05, E39, E53, V06, V12, V15
• glossy accents
• harvest corn twine cording by maya road

Double, double toil and trouble always makes me think of the Mary-Kate and Ashley movie from YEARS ago :) 

Happy Haunting!
