Monochromatic madness

Ok, so can you tell I have found Instagram? I downloaded this collage app that helps you make super cool collages for your pics . I think this works perfectly for my blogging because it puts 4 pics into 1. The only time this wouldn't work would be if I was doing step by step instructions. Tonight's post is something fun I did with a dark color (midnight muse) as my base and used 4 bright colors and stamped on white to make these pop. I used real red, tangerine tango, gimbal green and summer star fruit. The stamp set is oh hello (complete with a chevron oval that punched into a circle). I hope you enjoy

Pizza anyone?


i have
been playing with mini pizza boxes and cards today. Again, one o the super hinges about paper crafting is that the possibilities are only limited to your imagination. I have made 2 different ones in contrasting color families. 
Here's the details on the box:
1 sheet paper 6x11
Score longways on 1 and 5
Score sideways on 1,5,6 and 10
At the intersections of the scores cut on both sides so the box will fold.
Tape the box together and decorate the outside. Box measures 4x4 and the cards I side are 3 1/2 x3
There are several videos on YouTube that show you step by step but I can't load them due to computer issues.
Here are my samples
See you Monday! Happy stamping

Dry embossing with ink

I am so in love with the way this card turned out! I took the dotted Swiss embossing folder and inked one side and then ran it through the cuttlebug. I then re-inked with another color and then kept going until I achieved the look I was going  for. After 4 colors sky blue , pear pizazz ,blushing bride, and summer star fruit I was happy. The butterfly is one that I made yesterday sponging different colors together. The sentiment is from trust God which is quickly going to be my  favorite go to set!
