Use It Tuesday Challenge #39: Anything Goes!

 Welcome back to another challenge over at Use It Tuesday!

This time around, it's anything goes! So if you've got lots of age old craft stash hiding about, time to break it out for some crafting fun :) Every challenge I try to use as many hoarded items as possible; the only thing new was the sentiment. This is what I made.

The least used and oldest hoarded items would be the butterfly diecut and the scrapbook paper for the butterfly from a year ago. The stamp was uninked (month ago) and the American Craft rub on transfer was unused till now (couple months ago). 

I also used clear emboss powder and VersaMarker  (a year ago) on the butterfly to try to embellish the butterfly a little bit more. 

I can't wait to see what you make! Link it up over at Use It Tuesday and don't forget to mention your hoarded items. Challenge closes September 21st.

A Droplet of Upcycling: Envelopes

There is a fantastic challenge over at LESSology where we're supposed to incorporate envelopes into our creations. Knowing me and my saving random papers habit, I do have lots of envelopes lying around. Security envelopes are fantastic as patterned paper so think about saving up those envelopes!

This is what I created. :)

 I finally tried this technique: Colour the heart with Copic marker, go over with Versamarker, then clear emboss it. You end up with a nice little gloss over what you want to emphasize.

 I'm really happy about finally using the circle die that I won a couple months ago too (it took me this long to get an adapter for the Vagabond). Looks like I'll be making a lot of circles for my future cards :)

I'd also like to enter in the retrosketches challenge and Moxie Fab's Asymmetry Challenge.

Splish Splash Fun

I haven't participated in a card challenge in awhile. Here's a little card to join in the splish splash fun over at Cas-ual Fridays.

I finally received my first order from Simon Says Stamps and while it did take awhile to get here (since I'm in Canada), I'm very happy with shopping online there. I tried out their Circle Border die and it unintentionally caused an impression of dots onto the white paper I had under the blue cardstock. This is the result! :)
