Washi Love

Happy weekend, everyone! I hope that you're having a good weekend so far! I think that I am coming down with a cold, so I am hoping that will go away soon! It would be a much better weekend without the cold, and without work this morning, but it will still be a good one! :)

I have a card to share with you for the current Moxie Fab Challenge - the stickers and tape challenge!

I made a card similar to this one before (you can see that card here), but I recently bought some new washi tape colors so I decided to make another one! I like how easy it is to make a card with washi tape, especially a colorful one! The washi tapes are from various companies (Recollections and some brand that I found at Target). The letters and hearts are from Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die and "Trim the Tree" respectively. I'm not sure which set the small hearts are from, but it is definitely from a Lawn Fawn set. :)

Well, thanks for stopping by! I need to go finish laundry now! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #54

Good evening, everyone! I finally have a card to post today! I enjoy my full-time job, but it really cuts into my craft time. Thankfully I was able to find some time over the weekend to play along with the current Lawnscaping Challenge - stitching!!

I was hoping to pull out my sewing machine to use on my card, but I didn't have that much time! So, I hand stitched! Here is my card:

I stamped the "thanks" onto the card front and then poked holes around the letters. I used some colorful floss to stitch each of the letters. It need something else, so I added some coordinating colored stars around the thanks with some Frosted Lace Stickles. I think I'm stuck on making colorful thank you cards!

There are still a few days left to play along with the Lawnscaping Challenge, so don't forget to try some stitching on your cards! It was intimating at first, but it turned out to be a lot of fun! :)

Colorful Thanks!

Happy Saturday! I have a fun, colorful card to share with you this morning!!

This card features various washi tapes by Recollections, as well as Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp set! I made this previous to receiving my "Quinn's ABCs" dies, but the dies will make this card so easy to create! To make this card, I tore small pieces of various colored washi tapes and placed them on the card. Then I stamped and cut out "thanks" to attach onto of the wahi tapes.

This card is also one of the cards featured in my Etsy shop! You should definitely check out the Whimsipost Etsy shop (you can click on the Whimsipost Etsy Shop link at the top of the page to view the available cards!).

I am also submitting this card to the current Moxie Fab World challenge - The Washi Tape Challenge! I am always amazed at the different uses for washi tape!

Well, thanks for stopping by! The weather this weekend is gorgeous, so I am going to take advantage of that and hang out outside for a while! Enjoy your weekend! :)

HB2U!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you all have a great weekend! I was able to attend a friend's wedding this weekend and it was wonderful! She looked amazing, the rain held off, and everything went smoothly. They even had an ice cream truck show up at the reception!! Yum!

I have a card to share with you for the current Lawnscaping Challenge - to make your own patterned paper with stamps!

I dug through my stamp collection and picked out a bunch of Lawn Fawn stamps to use for my patterned paper. Here it is!

The pink and orange strips use the heart and star stamps from "Bake Me a Cake" and "Plus One". The green strip is the dashed line from "Bon Voyage" and one of the straight lines from "Bake Me a Cake." The blue (which is a little bit hard to see) has a wavy line that is from "Gnome Sweet Gnome." And the purple strip has the swirly stamp from "Bake Me a Cake." Then I stamped some stars on yellow card stock, the "hb2u" on white paper, cut them out, added some glittered, and adhered them to the card!

That was a lot of fun to create patterned paper! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your Monday! :)

P.S. I am also entering this card into the Young Crafters Unite Challenge! Check out the amazing cards over there!
