Hello, Crafty friends!

I have a project over at EyeConnect Crafts' Blog!

EyeConnect Crafts makes 100% Recycled Chipboard products.
They are great for mixed media projects and are a little thinner than others, so the projects will not be so bulky!

The Card Concept DT #39: Daisies Birthday Card

Hello, crafty friends!

I'm so excited!!! This is my first project for The Card Concept in the Mixed Media category!

Here's the photo inspiration:

And here's my card:

Challenges:

1. Simon Says Mon: Stamps and Punch/Die Cut

 2. Crafting From the Heart #76

3. Craft Your Passion #278: Always Anything Goes

4. Word Art Wed #200 Let's Celebrate!!!

5. Simon Says STAMPtember Use a Stamp and Blog Hop

I was inspired by the colors and the flowers...so, I started with a panel I sprayed with purple ink. I stamped a texture stamp with blue ink and blended blue gel stick (aka Gelatos for kids) using a wet wipe.
I cut flourish using Cricut and heat embossed it in silver. I also cut daisies in different sizes, scored and bent the petals, layered, and added gel stick and glitter glue for the centers.

Finally, I stamped sentiment on a banner, adhered it on card and added sequins.

Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #108: Fall Cricut Garland

Hello, crafty friends!

It's time for Decorate to Celebrate! You can create anything 3-D for a chance to win a prize from Rhonda!

My sons painted some pumpkins and we used the leftover paint on some paper from IKEA.

After it dried, I cut leaves from my Artiste Cricut cartridge (and hand-cut some others).
I braided 2 yards of yarn.
Then, I simply stapled the leaves on.

I really liked how it turned out...simple and rustic...
