HIMCR #255 - Masculine !

 It's another Saturday which means its time for a new Hiding in My Craft Room Challenge.  This weeks challenge is masculine and its being sponsored by Pickled-Potpourri.  They have generously donated a Gift Certificate for their store.  Since Father's day is this Sunday I decided to make a Father's day card for my husband.  I loved these cute trains and think they were perfect for father's day.  Unfortunately it looks like my red marker is almost dried out so the red color isn't as smooth as I would have liked so I guess I need to do some shopping ;).

 
Supplies used: Pickled Potpourri stamps, Shinhan markers, twine, MME paper

Hiding in My Craft Room - Scraps Challenge

I am so excited to announce that I am now part of the Hiding in My Craft Room design team (HIMCR).  It's a challenge blog and each week there are great prizes.  This weeks challenge was to use your scraps.  My favorite way to use my scraps is to grab my hexagon punch and punch out a bunch especially when I use my 6x6 pads.  To enter just follow this link and link up your project and you will be entered in to a draw for some Sweet and Sassy stamps.  I used a cute flower pot kid stamp for this weeks challenge.  I decided not to add a sentiment because I am going to add it when I need it since I can't decide if it should be a baby shower card or birthday card for a little girl.  I like to have a stash of blank cards on hand because it makes it easy when I need one.

 

Supplies used: Scrap paper, Sweet and Sassy Stamps, Shinhan Touch Markers

Happy Mothers Day

Now that Mother's day is past, I can post the cards I made for my mom and mother in law.  I love this stamp set from Unity.  I cut the butterfly out and popped it up with some foam dots and cut out the frame with a spellbinders set.  I am entering this in the Hiding in My Craftroom Challenge, you can also enter here

Shadow Box

Here is a shadow box I made from spellbinders dies and chipboard.  I used to have a tutorial on Instructagram on how to make you own shadow box but when I went to link it I realized it was gone, so I will make another using step by step photos.  I also layered the flowers by stamping them multiple times, cutting, and then layering  various pieces of the flowers but its so hard to get the dimension of this in a picture.  First I was fighting with a reflection and shadows from the frame and then second trying to get a good shot of the inside bits it really tough but it is very dimensional and nicer in real life.

Supplies used: Unity Stamps, Shinhan Touch Markers, Enamel Dots, Spellbinders Scallop Squares, Squares, Floral Flourishes
