Mix and Match Shapes for Friday Mashup!

Happy Friday!

It's been really cold around here lately. Really, really cold. I've been spending a lot of time in my little craft room to keep warm!

I have to admit, I didn't really do the technique exactly as I was supposed to. I couldn't get it to work for me the way I was expecting it too. I compromised and inked up my embossing folder with white StazOn in and then ran it through the embossing folder. 

I don't tend to do black card bases, so this was kind of fun to do. 

The papers (with all my mix and matched shapes) comes from the Project Life pocket card kit from Stampin' Up! I just love the colours and patterns in these papers. 

The sentiment is one that came from a Paper Pumpkin kit and I embossed it in white. 

This week at The Friday Mashup, Lisa has a fun technique and challenge for us. Check it out!

1. Create a project using the "Embossing Folder Stamping Technique"
2. Create a project using "Mix and Matched Shapes"
3. or Mash it Up! and create a project using "the technique with different shapes"

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Colour Me... Subtle!

Good morning! This week at Colour Me...! we are working with 3 soft colours for our subtle week; Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky & Pistachio Pudding.

Lately I've been avoiding the 'coloured' cardbase and background. I don't think it was intentional, but when this card was done, it had occurred to me that it was the case!

It had been way too long since I had used the awesome Paper Doilies that I knew I just had to whip one out... That, and I came across a rogue doily when cleaning up my scraps. Call it fate :)

The background is embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and raised on the cardbase with Dimensionals. I then cut out a bunch of flowers with the Floral Fusion Sizzlit. I sponged all those bad boys lightly around the edges with Soft Sky and popped a little Soft Sky Candy Dot in there in the centre. The leaves were cut out of Pistachio Pudding using the Little Leaves Sizzlit (one of my favourites!)

Check out the challenge this week:

Hey there, girly!

Erica's hosting the Friday Mashup this week and she has a girly challenge for us - which is perfect for this dreary Friday.

I kept mine really simple, and played with some new toys :)

The hexagons were cut out by hand after running some Whisper White through the honeycomb embossing folder. I popped them up on dimensionals and then went around the edge and drew a dashed border in with marker.

The stamp set is Chalk Talk, which has a fabulous matching set of framelits! I used Tangering Tango, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pink Pirouette.

Check out the challenge this week:
