Five Minute Friday: Father’s Day: Mint Motif style

Oh gosh…I just realized I never posted this Father’s Day card!  Oops!  I’m a little behind I guess!

Well, here it is!  I used Beyond Borders stamped in Palette ink to make the pattern on the left and then tied a sailor’s knot, using this animated tutorial, from white hemp rope and adhered it with some i {stick} papers and then stamped the father’s day greeting from my stash.

Thanks for stopping in today!  Sorry I’ve been a little MIA…the CHA deliveries and ensuing influx of orders have really been sucking my time – and that’s a good thing!  But, it means I’m a bad blogger.   Forgive me?

Have a great weekend! 

DT Challenge: Beat the Heat

Hello!  This month’s challenge “Beat the Heat” was to create a project with cool colors and/or as few layers as possible.  So…here’s what I came up with using Birthday Wishes and a teeny bit of Country Drive paper.  I stamped in Palette inks, colored with Copics and used my rectangle Nesties.  And I popped up everything with my new favorite dimensional dots from Sticky Thumb.  (If you missed my video on them, check Saturday’s post.)

I also added a Zva gem and some Turquoise Stickles for some shimmer.  Oh!  And the Tim Holtz Swirls embossing folder.  Speaking of embossing, did you see the new No More Shims mat is in stock?  Get it.  NOW.  :)

Quick and easy card!  Now, go check out the new section of the store because there are LOTS of CHA goodies and check out the rest of the DT hop:

Introducing First Edition papers and Sticky Thumb dimensional dots

Here’s a little video for you to show you the new First Edition paper pads and Sticky Thumb dimensional dots.  Just note, the second time I say Cosmo, when I’m talking about die-cuts in the paper pads, I *meant* Kaiser (an that’s the pad I’m showing you!)  Oops!

Have a great weekend!

Hip Hopping with Unity

Hello! Today the IHP DT is Hip Hopping along with the Unity Design Team. So be sure to check all their blogs for fabulous projects showcasing Unity!

In celebration of this little hop, ALL full-sized kits are $12 or less! But, there is VERY limited inventory and these past kits will not be restocked so don’t wait or you might miss your chance to get them at this price.

For my card today I used a new Itty Bitty, Silver Lining with paper from the new Authentique pad, Uncommon. I popped up the clouds with the BEST dimensional dots I’ve used, Sticky Thumb dimensional dots. They come in an assorted pack of 442 dots, all different sizes and are super, duper sticky. Really. I love these dots. I stamped the clouds and greeting in Palette Charcoal and then added some Zva bling around the vellum Oval Nesties saying.
