Pop-Up Shoppes ~ ScrapbookPal

Hello friends ~ I'm posting today for Scrapbook Pal. I was browsing their shop and found these dies that were released in March of this year. The Pop-up Shoppe Dies from Concord & 9th are the cutest ever, and definitely worth revisiting! 

Create your own little mini mall using Pop-up Shoppe Base dies,

Window Shoppe Pop-up Base dies, and all the fun add on dies.

This card uses the Window Shoppe Pop-up Die and the Flower Shoppe Add-on. So cute!!!

This card uses the Pop-up Shoppe Die paired with the Bake Shoppe Add-on.

They also have a Fashion Shoppe and a Book Shoppe.  These pop-up cards are to “die” for!

The great thing about these cards is that they fold flat for easy mailing in an A2 sized envelope.

You can find all the dies listed below at ScrapbookPal:

Fall Plaid ~ Double D Challenges

Good morning friends~  There's a new challenge starting up over at Double D Challenges and the theme is "Fall Plaids".

I found all the die cuts and plaid paper in my box of scraps.

In Focus:

The barrel and rake are both from Marianne Designs.  The pumpkin is from Memory Box and the leaves are a combination of Spellbinders and Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps.  I sure do miss that company!

 

Not a single new piece of paper was harmed in the making of this card.  haha!   I love making cards using up leftovers from my scrap boxes. 

I do hope you'll visit Double D Challenges to see more amazing inspiration from the talented design team.

Here's the inspiration photo:

And here's the prize that will go to the winner of the random draw:

Flower ~ Mixed Media Monday

Hello friends ~ It's time for Mixed Media Monday once again so I'm here to share an entry that I recently did in my Garden Journal.  

This page came together fairly quickly, since I didn't use a lot of mediums on this.

Keep in mind, the pages in my Garden Journal measure 4 1/2" x 6 1/2", so slightly larger than an A2 sized card.  I had this beautiful floral image that I found in a Junk Journal Collection on Amazon, and I didn't want to cover it up too much. 

In Focus:

 After  collaging the floral image onto the page in my journal, I found a page from a dictionary that I ripped into small pieces and added distress ink to all the edges.  I used those pieces to collage a frame around the entire flower image.

I did some random stamping using stamps from Stampers Anonymous Field Notes, and then added some Flea Market Finds ephemera elements from Spellbinders Coat Check Miscellany.  The gold washi flower is from Pinkfresh Studio's Garden Bouquet Washi.  

This design would look great on the front of a card as well, don't you think?

The Junk Journal Kit from Amazon has so many beautiful papers in it, just like this one.  I think I might make a set of all occasion cards using them.

 

I'll be adding this art journal page to the following challenges:

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Here's a list of products I used and where you can find them:

Vintage Christmas Postcard

Hello friends ~  I'm popping in with a Christmas card I made using the colors from Color Throwdown Challenge.  

This line from Prima called Candy Cane Lane just happens to have the colors they're looking for: Pink, Magenta & Green.  Not to mention that the entire collection is as cute as can be!

I cut one of the papers with this sweet girl dressed in her vintage best, using Sizzix Snail Mail die and added some post card stamping and a die cut poinsettia, which I distressed to add to the vintage look.  The leaves are cut using an older Spellbinders Poinsettia die. 

The pretty pink banner is from the coordinating ephemera pack.  The poinsettia makes this card eligible for the Peace On Earth challenge, using their mood board for further inspiration.

My card will be entered into the following challenges:

Color Throwdown ~ Color Challenge using Pink, Magenta & Green

Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge ~ Mood Board

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Here's a list of products I used today:

Sizzix Snail Mail Thinlits Die
