You're So Brilliant!

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a terrific Tuesday 😀

I am currently participating in the new class at Online Card Classes called Sparkle & Shine.

Today (day 2) was all about foiling! 

I pulled out my Mini Minc Machine and happily did my homework.

I had some Heidi Swap Minc paper 6x6 paper pads and some little embellishments that I decided to foil up for my card. I created a A2 black card base and used some gold Deco Foil to foil that fun triangle cardstock. I trimmed it down to size and added it to my base. I heat embossed my greeting with some white embossing powder onto a strip of scrap black cardstock and added that to my card. I ran that fun little light bulb through my Minc with more gold foil. I layered it on top of a black circle that was layered on top of some gold shimmery vellum and popped everything up with some foam tape. I finished it off with some sequins. 

This is a really bad picture but I wanted to take a close up to try and capture some of the shine that my card has so that you have an idea just how shiny it is. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Shopping Our Stash #284

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #284 is....

Shape Up!
We would like to see your shaped cards (no circles or squares)

Here is what I created:

I kept my card pretty simple by simply using one of my spellbinder dies to create my card base. I needed 4 birthday cards for this month and these were pretty easy to mass produce. The best part is that I used up some of my scraps! The balloon was from some scrap patterned paper and I tied some crochet thread for the string and glued in various spots to create the loops. The sentiment is foiled in a pretty teal blue. My photo does not show that to well, it's pretty overcast here today so I apologize for my picture. I finished off my card with some white gel pen stitching and some sequins. Pretty simple but I really like how they turned out and they should mail pretty easily :)

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Labels Twenty-Two Spellbinders die (can't remember last time it was used)
• Patterned paper from my scraps

Shopping Our Stash #278

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #278 is....

Use something already out on your desk!!

This was a hard one for me. My craft space is in my dining room and our house is a open floor plan. You can see my crafty space as soon as you walk in our front door so I am in the habit of keeping my desk clean. As soon as I get done with a project, I clean my area up. I do have a little soap dish that I keep extra die cuts in though so that is what I used for my project. 

I had a tag and some hearts that I had foiled in here. A few months back I originally planned on using them in a layout for my Project Life album but ended up going a different direction so into the dish they went. I pulled them out and used them to create a really simple card.

Forgive my picture, for some reason I had a really hard time trying to photograph this. I'm guessing it was all the foil. This was the best picture of about 25 lol.  Anywho, I doodled around the edge of my card base with a black pen and added a black scallop rectangle with some foam tape to the center. I added some twine to my tag and adhered it at an angle. I added the hearts and called the card good! Easiest card I have done in quite awhile and I love how it turned it out!!

Be sure to head over to the Shopping Our Stash Challenge Blog to see what my design team sisters created. I hope you will decide to make a project and join us, I would love to see what you create!
