Festive Friday #3 - Holiday Greetings

I made a first card for the Color Throwdown last week and was filming the process - when the camera decided to die on me.  So I made another process using a different colour palette.  I stuck with the same Vintage Bliss paper pad by Simple Stories and switch the sequin bow.

I definitely think festive cards in twos is better!  :)

Take a look:

Thanks for dropping by - now go make some scrappy goodness!

CTD #327 - #love :-)

Wow, what fun colours going on at the Color Throwdown challenge this week!  Just love them!

I was inspired to do a piecework heart using my confetti heart punch and it was a look of fun to put together.  (Plus I have a lot extra which will be great in a shaker card.)  A picture is worth a 1000 words.  So is a crafty project.  I kept this sentiment simple and sweet. Hashtag love (happy face).

Thanks for the fun colour combo again this week!  I actually finished my card early, so if you have time, be sure to drop by TCD and play along.  :)

CTD #326 - Holiday Greetings

Loved the colours for the Color Throwdown's Challenge this week!

I actually decided to stick with the colours in horizontal stripes and use them in a fun Christmas card.  Simple Stories Vintage Bliss was a great match for this colour combo.  It's fun to use flowery paper for a holiday card.  I thought it need just a little bit of jazz, so I added the sequin bow.  A strip of glitter cardstock layer up top would also be a nice touch.

Thanks for the colour challenge as always!!

BRI's January Mood Board

Butterfly Reflections, Ink. has an awesome challenge going on right now!  The colours are so fun, so I knew I had to play along.  Here is the January mood board:

I chose this fun pig image and coloured it pale pink.  I added eyelashes (and eyeliner) to the image, as well as stripes to the hat.  To the balloon, I added glass glitter for sparkle.  I used the chevron stamp with gold ink for the background to add some more gold and match the inspiration photo.  I also added a strip of glitter paper in between the white base and the tab.  I added a few sequins to the tab and an additional star to the pig's hand.  Inside, I added the leftover strip of black and the sentiment (Birthday Hogs and Kisses).

Thanks for the fun challenge!!  Be sure to check it out!

Festive Friday #1

Starting this year, I've decided to start a new Friday segment, entitled ''Festive Friday'', for my Youtube channel, makescrappygoodness.  Each week I will try and make something with a bit of holiday spirit.  If you didn't know it, I am big on Christmas.  So this gives me a chance to celebrate the whole year long, while using my stuff and finishing my cards before the mad rush begins.  

My first card was inspired my the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 250, as well as The Color Throwdown's colour challenge this week.  

It was fun to make a card with only white, black, and red.  I actually think these colours would rock for a New Year's card. Here's my card:

Products Used:  Cardstock, MFT Rounded Banner Trio Die-namics, PTI Make-It-Market Tinsel & Tags, Tsukineko Brilliance - Graphite Black, Sequin Trim, and Pearl Pen.
