Just Us Girls Challenge #670 - WORD Week - RAINBOW...Oh, Hey, You're My Fav (C & 9th)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #670, where Elizabeth, our hostess, invites us feature a RAINBOW on our cards/projects this week. Given the cold temperatures and snow we've had recently, I am beyond ready for rainbows - real and faux! 

 

Once again, we're delighted to have Guest Designer, Michele Ferguson, creating with us. Her take on rainbow is fabulous, as are those by my talented teamies.

My card features products from last October's Crop & Create: stencil and die from Concord & 9th and flowers from Pink and Main. My card is similar to one designed by Jennifer McGuire, in her session where she shared ideas for mixing products. I love the result, even if my version isn't as stellar as hers. I used - as did Jennifer - some stickles for one of the stencil layers; hard to see in the photo, but it's there. A little something to sparkle up a simple image.

I'm also sharing the Rainbow plushie - from Ellen Hutson - I stitched. Fun, simple and cute!

Looking forward to seeing your rainbow interpretations in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS Anything Goes with Dies - March 2023...St. Patrick's Day Rainbow (MCT)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers March 2023 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge. Bring those lovely bits of metal out for some fun! 

How about a St. Patrick's Day rainbow? While I'm happy with my card - all shimmery, sheeny, sparkly in real life - the photo is awful! I can't seem to get proper lighting for white backgrounds so...this will have to do.

I also brought along a Leprechaun Gnome, all decked out in his gold and green.

 All dies, except for the gnome, who is from Simon Says, are from MCT. 

Looking forward to seeing your die-cut delights in the gallery!

HLS Stencil Challenge - Anything Goes...It's Your BDay (TE stencils and foil)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge for March 2023, where Anything Goes. Let your stencils take the stage!

I shared one version of the Taylored Expressions Create-in Quads Hooray stenciled cards + Foil-It panels for the HLS Birthday Challenge. Now, here's a second card from the same collection, this time with foiled birthday hats and sentiment, paired with stenciled 'confetti. I so enjoy these "quad" and "triple" stencils! 

Looking forward to your stencil sensations in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Just Us Girls Challenge #669 - Color Week - Turquoise, Mustard and Black...Snail Mail is the Best Mail (C & 9th)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #669, where our wonderful Ina has selected a wonderful palette for Colour Week: turquoise, mustard and black. We're thrilled to have uber-talented Michele Ferguson, from I Card Everyone fame, joining us as our March Guest Designer. I'm sure you've seen her stellar creations in our gallery, on her blog and on Instagram. Her debut as our guest: only awesome.

 

I went with a relatively simple card. I say 'relatively' because it took a while for an idea to gel. Once it did - along with the help of some online inspiration - this was pretty easy-peasy to create. Concord and 9th's products all the way. That little snail is soooo cute and yes, I so agree with the sentiment!

Looking forward to seeing how you're inspired by this colour combination.

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS Birthday Challenge - March 2023...Let's Celebrate You (TE Create in Quads Hooray, Foil It Birthday)

Hello, 

After a good long break, the Happy Little Stampers challenges are back in business! Today, I'm delighted to welcome you to the March 2023 Birthday Challenge, where Anything Goes is always the theme. Isn't that the most wonderful incentive ever? I think so!

My card is one, of four, created using Taylored Expressions Create-in-Quads Hooray stencil. The stencils are primarily for celebrating graduations, but when they're paired with Foil-It panels (you only need a laminator for these), they become birthday cards. Clever, this double dipping, right! I foiled the sentiment with turquoise Deco Foil, stenciled the border and voila...a birthday card done. Three more to share at some point; stay tuned!

Looking forward to seeing your birthday creations filling the gallery!

Color Hues Challenge #59 - Green and Gold...St. Patrick's Day Gnomes

Hello,

March 1st has certainly come quickly, hasn't it! Seemed but a blink ago that it was January 1st...and we've whooshed through that month and February, too. Of course, March 1 brings a new Colour Hues Challenge and, as your hostess, I've selected hues of Green and Gold as inspiration for the next two weeks. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, as is Spring as well as any other occasions that spark your creativity with this colour combination. My amazing teammates, as well as our guest designer, Barb, have plenty of eye candy for you to enjoy.

Pretty obvious I headed in St. Patrick's Day direction. A chance to play with my Simon Says gnome, shiny green and sparkly gold papers, my solitary little shamrock die and some patterned papers.

Had to make a second leprechaun gnome for a tag. I'm not a 'big' fan of gnomes, but this one is a cutie.

Looking forward to seeing your Green and Gold makes in the gallery.

You have until March 14 @ 9:00 AM EST to join us.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live.

The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a 

future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!
