Happy Dust-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

This month with Deb and I are celebrating all things glittery and sparkly! I created my card by adhering some textured pink cardstock from Hobby Lobby onto my white A2 card base. I then layered some pretty floral-patterned paper from the Simple Stories 6x8 Summer Lovin' paper pad on top. I stamped the Unity Stamp Company Planner Gal Be A Beauty stamp onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment from Unity Stamp Company's Happy Dust stamp set next to it and cut that down into a small panel that I matted on more pink cardstock. I colored the image and sentiment with my alcohol markers, and then adhered the panel down to the card at an angle using 3M foam tape for some added dimension. I then stamped the butterflies from Unity Stamp Company's Go Get It Girl, colored them using my alcohol markers, fussy cut them out, and adhered them around the focal panel. I finished the card off by adding some clear rhinestones from The Paper Studios around the focal panel, and then added some gorgeous shimmer and shine to the images and sentiment by added lots of Nuvo Glitter drops in white blizzard. Love how beautifully this card turned out.

This month I opted for an iced coffee from Chick-Fila. With our temps registering over 100 degrees every day this week it really hit the spot. Now be sure to head over to Deb's blog and see how she was inspired by our challenge this month! 

 

Hello Spring-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

Hello and happy Sunday! Today marks the first day of Spring so Deb and I decided to celebrate by creating cards that celebrate Spring. To create my card I started by stamping and coloring the bird houses from Unity Stamp Company's KOTM March 2019 Gather Love onto white cardstock, colored them using my Copics, heat embossed them for a crisp shiny look, and fussy cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto more white cardstock, heat embossed it, and fussy cut it out. I stamped the butterfly from Unity Stamp Company's Go Get It Girl stamp set, colored it, embossed it, and fussy cut it out. I then die cut a circle panel using a pierced edge circle die from My Favorite Things and stamped the house image again, colored it, and heat embossed it. I layered some beautiful patterned papers from the American Crafts Welcome Spring 6x6 paper pad onto my white A2 card base. I adhered the houses directly onto the white circle panel and then popped the sentiment and butterfly up off of the card using 3M foam tape. To finish my card off by adding some clear rhinestones by Recollections around the focal panel. 

I had to stop in to my local Panera today while doing my grocery shopping and opted for a nice iced almond vanilla cold brew! Now, be sure to stop by Debra's blog and see what springtime fun she created this month!
