Ellen Hutson Mix it Up Challenge with Waffle Flower Crafts!

Hello friends!

I am so excited to be working with Ellen Hutson this month for the Mix it Up Challenge featuring Waffle Flower Crafts! 


For my card, I combined Waffle Flower's Happy Day stamp set along with Ellen Hutson's Swing N Slide Designer Dies and Warm Fuzzies stamp set to create a fun slider card.  A list of supplies that I have used on my card is linked below. 


I created the background by inking up a panel of white card stock with Distress Oxide Ink in Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint.  I die cut the long straight slider track towards the bottom corner of the panel.  I stamped, colored and die cut the bear and floral images from the Happy Day stamp set and added them to the background along with some green card stock cut with the Chunky Grass die.


I created the slider element by adhering some foam tape to the wheels of the bike and attaching a penny to the other side of the track. To help camouflage the track, I added another piece of card stock cut with the chunky grass die in front of the track.

Well that's all for me today!  Head on over to the Ellen Hutson CLASSroom for more details on the challenge and to link up your entry! 

Thanks for stopping by!
Katie

Essentials by Ellen January Pin-Sights Challenge


Hello friends, 

I am honored today to be playing along with the January Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge. 



The Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights challenge is a monthly inspirational challenge based on a Pinterest Inspired photo that is located on the CLASSroom blog.  There's lots to love in this month's inspiration photo- so many dreamy images and luscious shades of red.


I used the Essentials by Ellen Love You So clear stamps and the Essentials by Ellen Folk Hearts designer dies to create my card.  With the inspiration photo andValentine's Day right around the corner, I was immediately drawn to these stamps and dies.  I love the brush lettering the the Love You So stamp set and the hearts are the perfect size for cards. 


I used Distress Ink to watercolor a panel of watercolor paper.  Once the panel was dry, I spritzed it with water and blotted the panel to create the bleached out looking spots.  I die cut a panel of white card stock with the largest heart die.  Before adhering the die cut card stock to the watercolor panel, I applied watermark ink to the edge of the card stock and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  


I adhered the card stock to the watercolored panel and stamped the sentiment from Love you So with black ink before adhering both layers to a white card base. I have to tell you that this "I love you more" sentiment reminds me of a little back and forth saying that my hubby and I had when we were newlyweds.  It went like this...

Person 1: I love you.
Person 2: I love you too.
Person 1: I love you four.
Person 2: I love you more.

Weren't we the cutest? 

A complete list of my supplies is listed below.
