Thrusday's Up! - MONEY

MONEY

365cards theme this week is MONEY. What would you do with this word on your card? I thought of reverse, something MONEY can't buy/provide that is faith in yourself. As long as you believe in something, you would make it possible. Here's a congratulatory card for someone who had believed in herself and achieved what she had aimed for.  I used 7 washi tapes from my collection. Love the colors! Anyway, the happy, bright and summery washi tapes are supposed to depict rainbow colors. 

Supplies :
* MT/Classiky/Marks washi tapes
* Unity Itty Bitty Enjoy the day Bicycle stamp
* Lawn Fawn Sophie Sentiments - Congrats
* Maya Road Spool stamp
* Studio G doodly cloud stamp
* EK Success 1" circle punch
* Stazon Jet black, Hero Midtone Deep End Pool/Stone Wash

Thrusday's up - The 3Gs

Green, Grass, Glitter

This is theme for this week at 365cards. Your card design should be inspired by these trigger words. This week we have a digi stamp sponsor.I got to play with a beautiful image from My Heart Pieces.  I'm surviving this week with minimal papers and no proper color pencils (I used the ones from my kids' stash), as I packed them up for room redo.  

Wednesday's Up! - Favorite Technique

Favorite Technique

I'm standing in for Mary this Wednesday @ 365cards.  The challenge today is to create a card using the technique you favor most - try to really make it stand out on your card. You should know by now I love to use ribbon/twines/washi on my card. Seems almost impossible for me to miss these add ons to my card. So there you have some numero washi tape and cream ribbon.

Simple card to say thank you to my mom who comes by to help A LOT and especially to 'save' me from my little monsters. Happy Mother's Day! xoxo
Supplies:
* Patterned paper from Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas - chervon, My Mind's Eye 12 days of Christmas - candy stripes
* Bazzill Kraft cardstock
* October Afternoon Sticky Keys
* Lily Bee Designs ABC Alpha stickers
* Cream ribbon from Daiso

Thrusday's Up - Try A New Technique

Try a New Technique

As it says, try a new technique. Earlier this week, for the 1st time, 
1. I made a pompom with twine with a fork
2. rolled felt flower
3. Another new technique I used in my card is distress glue technique from Split Coast Stampers. Simply using clear glue to create unique background, coupled with some distress ink.
4. I also made a pocket to put the little tag in. The pocket is actually held by some washi tapes.The butterfly silhouette is paper scrap which I saved from previous project and for some color to the butterfly I added washi tape. So try a new technique, what's yours?

Closeup shot - I embrace imprefection :)

There we have stripes, grids, polkas. Pretty busy card, huh?

Supplies :
* All patterned papers from Studio Calico
* Washi tape from Colte & Marks Lotta Jansdotter design
* Butterflies punches from Martha Stewart (Classic Butterfly 3 In 1 & Monarch Butterfly Double punch)
* Pink Sorbet twine from The Twinery
* Thank you stamp - Technique Tuesday Clear Stamps Loving Words
* Tim Holtz Distress inks Broken China / Sugar Spun
* Ribbon from Daiso
