31 Days of Crafting - Day Eighteen - Happy Hello Owls

Hey everyone.  I hope you're having a happy, crafty day.  I've been cranking out the mass-produced cards this month, I'm really proud of me actually.  I haven't decided yet if these are actually going to be a set because every third card didn't match, because of the colors. But I just love how fun and cheerful they are.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!!!!!!!

Updating this post to say that the giveaway is OFFICIALLY CLOSED and isn't happening.  Long story, not sure I feel like bitching about it here.  But I bitch a lot on Twitter so you may wanna check there.

This was so much fun.  I gathered a bunch of scraps from the Watercolor Paper Pad and created the patchwork backgrounds.  Then I added the Hello die cut sentiment, which I cut three times and glued together for dimension.

Just a few challenges:

• Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge
• DLArt Linky Party
• Happy Craft Challenge - Anything Goes
• A Gem of a Challenge - #3 Anything Goes
• Artistic Inspirations - #213 Anything Goes
• Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes with Dies

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!!!

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED***

Quite frankly I could share some choice reasons why, but I prefer to be more positive on my blog.  You might check my Twitter page though.

Today I made something for St. Patrick's Day that is still NOT a St. Patrick's Day card.

I used the Metallic Ink paper pad for my background.  Then I used the Hello Fetti dies for the sentiment.   The shamrock is left over from a card I made earlier this week.

Just a few challenges for this card:

• Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge
• DLArt Linky Party
• Happy Craft Challenge - Anything Goes
• A Gem of a Challenge - #3 Anything Goes

Hello Peony - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got a new Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, sharing a bright and happy Hello card!!!  I used the Peony Paper Pad for my backing and cut the card fronts into strips to create interest.  I layered five Hello die cuts to create dimension.  I love that technique to make a sentiment die stick out.  The Hello Fetti die set has several great sentiments for cards.

I love how this card turned out with this paper.  I'm going to be using it a lot as spring approaches and all this snow starts to melt!!

I like to create in multiples :D

Happy Hello - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Thursday!!  I've got a new Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, with some happy HELLO cards!  Even though we're about to get buried in a winter storm, I'm already thinking about spring!  The Peony Paper pad is perfect for spring projects.  I used it as my base for these cards, and added black cardstock and the Hello Cutting Template to finish them.

You'll notice one of the cards doesn't have the wreath around the Hello.  I shared that card too to show that even mistakes can make pretty cards.  When I was die-cutting my sentiments, I forgot to tape one of them down and the wreath was only half cut.  I cut the rest of the wreath off with scissors and I actually really like how it looks!  Plus it makes that die a two-fer, maybe even a three-fer.  I could probably use the wreath without the "hello" attached, too.
