Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #204

We have another fun color combination at Color My Heart Color Dare this week:

I made a card using the Artfully Sent cartridge, which will sadly retire this month. I used a piece of Eggplant Paper Fundamentals, and added a Sweet Leaf polka dot paper from the Zoe paper packet. The sentiment from Tickled Pink was stamped in Flaxen. I added some white gems from the Grey Enamel Gems pack to anchor the corners of the card.

November Stamp Of The Month...Cheers 2016!

We are getting all ready for 2016 with November's Stamp Of The Month Theme. :-)
Cheers 2016 Can be yours for $5.00 with every $50.00 purchase, or you can get it for $17.95 at full price. Either way, this is a great stamp set to get if you're into planners or journaling!

I made a couple of cards to show an alternative use for the stamp set since we're a couple of months away from the New Year.

This would make a perfect graduation or a pick-me-up card. I used one of the 3"x4" cards from White Pines Picture My Life and stamped the sentiment with Cranberry Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad, second generation style (meaning I stamped it first on a scrap piece of paper before stamping it on the card), and Glacier Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The papers are from White Pines and Zoe. I added a Red Shimmer Trim, and a sticker from Base and Bling Holiday Style Sheet (for who could resist an ice-skating polar bear?) and some Sequins Silver Assortment.

The second card is more simple, because I think the message itself is profound. The card once again is from White Pines Picture My Life, and I made a flag using New England Ivy cardstock. The background paper is from Zoe, tied with a Glacier Extra Thick Twine. I used Glacier Exclusive Inks for the sentiment and the stars. I added some White Enamel Stars on the left side of the card to balance the look.

Thank you for dropping by and happy crafting!
