Sing A Song

t's time for a new challenge at Less Is More. Challenge #435 is a recipe : In A Row.

We're joined by Caroline, our fantastic November 2020 winner. Please stop by her blog to see her wonderful art work and leave her some love.

When contemplating a design for my in-a-row creation, the Bird On A Wire die from Spellbinders immediately came to mind. I love these birds all in a row. I have had this die set forever, and never used it. I created a subtle background with the Cloud Edger stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and three sunset themed colors of Distress Oxide inks. I just love the sentiment too! It is from an old Sweet Stamp Shop set called Sentimental Birds. Lots of NBUS here.

Please head over to the Less Is More Blog and see what Caroline and the Design Team has created for your inspiration. I hope you'll play along with us to share your creations and for a chance to win. Remember to keep your design Clean And Simple.

Time Out Challenge #143 is up and running. This time, we are challenged to be inspired by the words: "It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow". Our wonderful sponsor is Winnie and Walter. Challenge winner will receive a $25.00 gift voucher for the Winnie and Walter store.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Arlene of Sundaystamper Papercrafts. Arlene is a very talented paper crafter with a CAS style. Do treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. Her creations are wonderful. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired, and please leave her some love.

To create my card, I concentrated on the word rainbow. I painted rainbow colors on a piece of watercolor card stock, die cut it with a die from Winnie and Walter's Goldie Trim Cutaways, and mounted it on a piece of linen cardstock die cut with a Lawn Fawn scalloped rectangle die. To finish it off. To complete it, I added a sentiment from Winnie and Walter's The Party. 

Please head over to the Time Out Challenges Blog to see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Play with us to share your creation, and for a chance to win a prize from Winnie and Walter I can't wait to see what you come up with!

The August Anything Goes With Dies Challenge has begun at Happy Little Stampers. As always, anything goes as long as you use dies on your project. The winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the Happy Little Stampers Shop! Check out all the details HERE.

IT's no secret that I am in love with Ellen Hutson's MERMAID'S TAIL set by Julie Ebersole. I can't get enough of it. For this card, I embossed the tail with silver EP (SU), blended with distress inks and die cut. The background is stenciled with DOX inks using the stencil from the May 2017 Hero Arts Monthly Card Kit. I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, and embellished with Caribbean Ocean Nuvo Crystal Drops.

The Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies Design Team has created some wonderful die cut inspiration for you. Please head on over to the HLS AGWD Challenge, check out the DT projects and leave the DT some love. Break out some dies, create a project with them, and link up in the gallery for a chance to win!

Sending You Love & Hugs

A new month of challenges has started at Happy Little Stampers, and today is day one of the July Anything Goes With Dies Challenge. Yes! It's Anything Goes as long as you include die cuts on your project.

My card is a CASE of Cathy Zielske's (CZ Design) Polygon Watercolor Magic card for which she posted a tutorial on her blog HERE. I used Winnie & Walter's Cover Model: Multifaceted Cutaway for my project. Instead of spraying the back of the die cut with adhesive and gluing each watercolored piece into place, I cut a piece of Stick It the size of the die, peeled away the covering on one side, and adhered it to the back of the die cut. That created a glued surface for the watercolored cut outs. I ran the completed panel through my Cuddlebug, peeled the backing off, and adhered the whole inlaid die panel to my card base. 

The sentiment from SSS Sending And Wishing is embossed with white EP and die cut with Fishtail Flags from My Favorite Things.

Please head over to the Happy Little Stampers July Anything Goes With Dies Challenge to see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team has for you. Get your dies out, create a project of your own, and share it in the HLS July Anything Goes With Dies Gallery for a chance to win a $20.00 gift voucher to the Happy Little Stampers Store! You can check out the challenge details for the Anything Goes With Dies Challenge, and all of the other Happy Little Stampers Challenges HERE.
