Spring To Go

Aloha, friends,

Here is a card that is very simple and will be entered into the UNITY Be Inspired - Hearts and Polka Dots Challenge in the Facebook group page. It will also be entered into the Coffee Loving Papercrafter's Summer 2017 Blog Hop.

This is a Unity image "Spring to Go" coffee cup. I love how they added the floral spray to the center. Using blues & aquas on the cup is a step out of the usual neutrals but it was fun to try. I only used a strip of polka dot paper as trim and punched a small heart out of white paper, sponged with red and covered with Glossy Accents. There are touches of Prismatic Glitter around the flowers as well as Glossy Accents for sparkle and shine.

Stamp: UNITY "Coffee To Go"
Cardstock: GKD 120# white, black, turquoise sea
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, edging the cardstock with Espresso. Heart Lady Bug ink.
Dies: Scrapbooking Made Simple "Simply Refined," "Must Have Ovals" set
Embossing Folder: Darice "Floral Design"
Pattern Paper: "Echo Park"
Twine: Stampin' Up; Glossy Accents; Prismatic Glitter GKD; Adhesive Foam Squares

Mahalo for coming by!!

Wish you and yours the best for the upcoming week ♥

Heart Happy

Dear friends,

You can see why I am exhausted. I am not used to making one card after another, and am quickly pooping out over at SCS DTGD challenges.

I got into an inky mess with this one, but it was lots of fun.

It started out as a CAS card, then I tore up the lovely floral paper when applying monoadhesive, and 'had to' turn it into a vintage shabby chic card (rats) :D :D :D

I loved applying the Darice Falling Leaves embossing folder onto the floral Anna Griffin pattern paper! Using Memento inks (Bamboo Leaves, Sahara Sand and Angel Pink) I got busy distressing up the whole card. I added a strip of distressed pattern paper to the top of the inside of the card too, and cut the border with a Fiskar's pinking-type edge scissors.

A dear friend in Canada (Hi Shari) sent me the sentiment tag, so I am not sure which company makes the die. It covered another hole I tore into the pattern paper nicely :/

To finish up, I sprayed Perfect Pearls shimmer spray in Pearl all over the place, even on my face (by accident).

Enjoy - make your boo boos into wow wow's!!!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!
