I am so excited to be hoping along with so many of my crafty friends today for Day 2 of the Simon Says, Crafty Hugs Blog Hop! Don't forget to stop over to the Simon Blog and check out Day 1 of the blog hop and all the crafty inspiration.
I have 3 projects to share, then details of an AWESOME giveaway and the full blog hop list so keep scrolling to check it all out!
_____________________________________
US of CRAFT-AY is a brand new set full of all the most adorable crafty tools and sentiments. I wanted to create a clean and simple card and I had to incorporate all the sentiments so I came up with this....
I stamped the main sentiments on the white card base using my Misti and then added in the die cut "rainbow" and the other crafty tools. I love that sentiment....Make America Craft Again! So fun!
_____________________________________
I knew this Peony Bouquet stamp would have so many possibilities, but of course, I had to go quick and simple.
I inked up the full stamp with Altenew's Rouge Ink and then sponged in some Heartbeat Red in the center. I stamped in the sentiment from Crafty Bunnies and then added score lines along the bottom to finish it off.
_____________________________________
I had to use the US of CRAFT-AY set one more time, so I colored up and die cut all of those adorable tools.
I heat embossed the white embossing powdered sentiment on the red stitched rectangle and then added in all the tools with fun foam. Last, I added the focal point to a scored base to keep it full of my favorite white space!

ReplyDeleteI loved the simplicity of the first card because the stamp was second banana to the oh-so-true sentiment, "Crafty Friends Are the Best"! Will remember the tip of applying a swish of a different color on a stamp for shading. Both cards are nicely done. In this case simple is oh so nice!
