BasicGrey Soleil: Hi

Hi everyone!

Today I have a card to share using the BasicGrey Soleil Collection. 

BasicGrey supplies: SOL-3927 Element Stickers, SOL-3922 Mermaid,  

SOL-3928 Alphabet Stickers, SOL-3934 Pins and Tags

other supplies: white cardstock, baker's twine, corner rounder, 1/8" hole punch

This gorgeous summery line has some some really fun sticker elements like this adorable bike. Once I decided to use it as my focal point I pulled together some elements with coordinating colors and and the card came together really quick.

Thanks for stopping by!

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a creative slump? Never fear! Break down the mental blocks that keep you from creating! In Kick Start, Kristina Werner, Jennifer McGuire and a team of all-star artists give you a front row seat to their creative process and explore ways to get back your creative mojo!

Kick Start's 20+ videos will cover many topics including organizing inspiration, making the most of card making sketches, getting more from your supplies, smart shopping and much, much more. Take a peek into the creative minds of  Tim Holtz, Shari Carroll, Kelly Purkey, Julie Ebersole, Lisa Spangler, Dawn McVey, Kelly Rasmussen, Kathy Racoosin, Amber Daigre and Maile Belles. Many cards will be shared along the way, too!

BasicGrey Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the BasicGrey Design Team Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the blog of Shari Carroll.

I'm so happy to finally be sharing this wonderful news! I'm am beyond thrilled to be a part of the BasicGrey Design Team -- a company that I have loved for many years! I look forward to working with their amazing products and sharing what I love to do with all of you. I want to give a huge thanks to BasicGrey for allowing me this amazing opportunity and to Melanie for being so awesome to work with.

Now I have a card to share using the gorgeous products from the new Lucille Collection.

I absolutely adore the sentiment (from this set)...I think it is a perfect saying to brighten someone's day!  The butterfly and doily are from the Sticker Elements sheet. Since only half the doily was going to show I cut it in half so the other part can be used on another project.

To celebrate the new design team, BasicGrey is allowing me to give away a Hello Luscious Collection Pack -- one of my favorite BasicGrey lines!  For your chance to win, see the giveaway box below :

BasicGrey Soleil Blog Hop

Welcome to the BasicGrey Soleil Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from Kelly Noel's blog. I am so thrilled that BasicGrey asked me to join in on the fun today! :)

The bright, unapologetic hues of light dancing through the atmosphere, refracted from a prism or reflecting off the water are captured in Soleil, a collaborative collection by BasicGrey and Sassafras. This line is both serene and invigorating with its harvested-from-the-earth fruit and flower colors like soft lavender, juicy peach, tangerine, blueberry juice and watermelon. Let its calming yet spirited nature inspire your creative soul. 

The yellow chevron pattern across the card is trimmed from one of my favorite papers from this collection, Yellow Umbrella. I embellished my card with a mix of accents from the Pins and Tags as well as the Die-Cut Paper & Canvas Flowers. I just love the texture that both of these items add to the card!

Hi! I'm back with another entry for the Stamp It! Cards Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. This one is for the congratulations category.

I stamped the frame die with the Hero Arts Old Letter Writing image and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I inked over the top with four different blue shades of Distress Ink to create the gradient.

 
The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Essential Messages clear stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!
