For Any Occasion….

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper,

Hello OCS Fans;

My card turned out differently than what I had originally envisioned.  A crafting mishap occurred — I forgot that the window behind me was opened and a sudden gust of wind scattered some gilding flakes around and not where I wanted them to go.  Needless to say, my creativity took a different turn.  As I wasn’t sure of what sentiment to add, I didn’t add any.  This way it can be used for any occasion.

There is still plenty of time to enter this month’s “Anything Goes” challenge.  I hope you get a chance to play a little in your craft room and try some new techniques and remember to stop by Lora’s OCS store for supplies.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day, and until next week

 Hugs,

My Wish for You

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper, ,

Hello OCS Fans;

I hope you enjoyed the first long weekend of the summer and was able to spend some time with you family and friends.

This time around I used some Heartfelt Creations stamps from the Sunrise Lily Set.  Next Saturday, Karen Gerber from Heartfelt Creations will be at OCS giving two classes.  I am looking forward to seeing what else can be done with this collection.

The background paper was done using the Heidi Swapp Minc Machine and some Orange Reactive Foil.

Another Year Wiser…

Challenge - Anything Goes, Spring Release 2016, , , ,

Happy Tuesday OCS Fans;

Hope you all had a good weekend and had a great Mother’s Day on Sunday.  For my post today, I have used Happy Owl from the Owl Collection of the High Hopes Stamps Spring 2016 Collection.

I only used only the .07 pt svg files for the images and both the .07 pt and .14 pt svg file for the sentiment.  I mounted Happy with an Action wobble, so that he would move.  Fruit Punch Stickles was added to the flower centers.

You Are My Sunshine….

Challenge - Anything Goes, High Hopes Stamps, Spring Release 2016, , ,

Hi Fellow Crafters;

Another month has been and gone, and now we have a brand new month with a brand new challenge here at OCS.

For my post today, I have used this sweet image called Puppy Love from High Hopes Rubber Stamps Spring 2016 Collection.  For the background papers I used the Heidi Swapp Minc Machine to foil them with Rose Gold and Mint Reactive Foil.  The colour in the bottom part of the photo looks lighter and this is due to the reactive foil and light.  I used an Elizabeth Craft Shimmer Sheet to cut the butterflies.
