Heart2Heart Challenges - Regatta

Heart2Heart Challenges is hosting a Regatta paper challenge this week which gave me a chance to get my D1684 Beach Days stamp set inky!  My high school senior is going into Marine Biology at Western Washington University in the fall so this stamp set was a must purchase for me.  

I've stamped my crab in Pomegranate ink and my octopus in Glacier with the edges rolled in Sapphire.  I couldn't resist adding some googly eyes to these guys.  Flaxen ink gives a great sandy feel to the star fish and banner piece.

The card above shows the very nautical side of Regatta but there are also pieces that work great for less theme specific cards too!  This quick card was made with a piece of the PML card that comes with the paper pack and a few scraps!

The sentiment is from a Hostess Rewards set called Little Things stamped in Sapphire ink.  A few strip of our Gold Foil tape and a few Gold Sequins ties this one up!

I hope you'll hop on over to Heart2Heart Challenges and create something with the nautical and nice Regatta paper pack!

Stay crafty my friends!

Heart2Heart Challenges - Retired Products Challenge!

Today at Heart2Heart Challenges we are hosting a "Retired Product" challenge and even though it wasn't my DT group I just had to play along!  After so many years of being a CTMH consultant I have a considerable amount of retired product hanging around my craft room!

One of the things I like using retired product on is experimenting with new styles of cards.  This one is called a Side Stair step card that I found on Pinterest and played around with it in Design Space until I could get it right for my size card.

The papers I've used are from Roxie (probably about 3 years ago) and two different stamp sets - the Brushed WOTG stamp set for the butterfly image that I stamped in Slate and Smoothie and B1400 Beautiful Friendship which is actually still available until 8/1/16! 

I had a blast creating this 3-D card!  Can you tell I'm gearing up to offer a fun fold class?  I'm starting a new job this week so I'm not quite ready yet but I'll be posting information soon!

Don't forget that this month is STAMPGANZA our fabulous Buy 2 Get 1 FREE stamp sale!  You just keep adding stamps to your shopping cart and for every 2 you have they'll give you a third for free! So if you get 6 stamps then the 2 lowest priced sets will be the freebies.
