Today’s theme is “Clean & Simple with Oldest & Newest Stamps”. I have never really made any CAS cards. So this is my first time, what do you think?

Paper Funday Challenge #61 - January

Image
Hi Friends,  I hope you are well today. Over at  Paper Funday,   it is challenge Day, and today's challenge is "Anything Goes" but there is an Optional Twist of " Let's Celebrate " This is my design team entry. This was such a fun card to make.  All you need is a 6x6" card blank and a 6x6" piece of card and a 6x6" background die, some washi tape and some ink. Using the background die, cut out the 6x6" sheet of card. Place a piece of washi tape at the edge of the card, then another next to it, and another next to that.  Remove the middle piece, and place it next to the last piece of washi tape, and repeat to the end. I used Tim Holtz distress in rainbow colours. leave to dry. Repeat the above steps on the card blank. Then glue the background to the card and voila - it should be a perfect match.  There are so many options that you can do with this technique - instead of using inks, you can use stamps.   If you have read my blog before, it

Inspiration Station #57 - January

Image
Hello Friends,  I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and your new year is full of fantastic things.  So did you make any New Year's resolutions? I didn't this year, because I have come to know myself very well and I know I will not stick to them :)  Well, let us get on with the challenge.  Today is a beautiful inspirational photo. So here is my Inspiration Station Challenge Design Team Entry.  This month's entry is inspired by the photo: I decided this image would make a fantastic first page in my 2024 journal. I used Tim Holtz distressed inks for the background, and a sun/moon stencil and a tree landscape stencil. I removed some of the ink by sprinkling some water and blotting it off with a paper towel. Heat embossed the sentiment Hello January and added a few gem stones. I hope you liked this journal page, and as always pop over to Inspiration Station and share your creations with us, we really do enjoy seeing your take on the photograph. Let's connect on
