AEI♥U Challenge #28 – Non-White Card Base

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Non-White Card Base! Here’s my take on the theme:

AEI♥U Challenge #28 – Non-White Card Base

I stamped and heat-embossed the birds from Tweet Tweet on kraft cardstock and colored them with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment from Simply Said: You was heat-embossed white on black cardstock.

AEI♥U Challenge #27 – Embossing

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Embossing! Here’s my take on the theme:

AEAugust2015

I stamped and heat embossed the van from Surf’s Up three times on watercolor paper. I then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Sending You. ( I did so in two steps – by first stamping and heat embossing the “sending” and then “good vibes.” When I tried stamping the two pieces of the sentiment at the same time, I couldn’t get them close enough together.)

I used Peerless Watercolors to color the vans. Once the panel was dry, I cut it with the frame in Custom Panels. I cut the hearts from watercolored paper with dies from the Finished Frames set. As a final step, I added Glossy Accents to the hearts.

AEI♥U Challenge #26 – Sparkle

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Sparkle!

Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Challenge Sparkle Challenge:

AEJulyChallenge

I created a birthday card for someone turning 50 – if there’s ever a time to bring out the glitter, 50 is it! I die cut the Numbered Balloons out of glitter paper and attached silver May Arts twine to them with tape on the back. I stamped the skyline from the Avery Elle Super set with Versamark ink, heat embossed with American Crafts silver glitter embossing powder, and cut it out with the corresponding die. I stamped the sentiment from Party Animal on the card base. I adhered the balloons with dimensional adhesive, taping down the strings. I placed the skyline over the balloon strings with dimensional adhesive as well.

AEI♥U Challenge #25 – Rainbow

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! The theme this month is Rainbow.

Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Challenge Rainbow Challenge:

AEJune2015JM

I stamped the lanterns and sentiment with stamps in the Bunting set and cut the lanterns out with their coordinating Elle-ments dies. The strings and ribbons were also die cut with the Bunting Elle-ments set. For a little more color, I added stars cut with dies from the Finished Frames Elle-ments set.

AEI♥U Challenge #24 – Spring

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This theme this month is spring.

What does spring mean to you? Bright flowers, sunshine, white puffy clouds? Living in the Pacific Northwest, we experience spring, but it’s also often rainy, so I decided to play a bit with this theme.

Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Spring Challenge:

AESpringMay2015

I stamped the Weather It stamp set (with coordinating Elle-ments dies) on patterned paper and on cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from Sending You onto Avery Elle patterned paper to which I adhered clouds, also cut from Avery Elle paper. The hearts and the bow (on the umbrella) were cut with dies included in the Finished Frames Elle-ments set.
