Hot Mess - May 2024

It's the 12th of May, time to get messy. (insert deer-in-the-headlight look) As you likely recall from previous 12ths, I am not one who likes messes. Not one bit. BUT a challenge is only a challenge if it stretches you, and I'm up for the Hot Mess Success Challenge. 

Barb, Carol, Darlene, Terry, and I create cards for the Hot Mess Success challenge each month and share them on the 12th. 

It's Anything Goes - as long as there is something messy involved.

This month my finger tip got messy as I used it to rub luster and metallic substances onto the embossed floral piece.

Be sure to check out the other Hot Mess gals blogs, too, to see their cards (you'll be WOW'd!)...

SCS Sketch #SC1009

I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing, so I love being part of the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge team. There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

Here's this week's sketch - SC1009:

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.

From a Kit Series (PP) - May 2024

I started a new series on my blog in July of 2021. The idea was born from the fact that I have a lot of unused card/stamping kits just waiting to have some attention. Sheesh! Seems as though I buy them and they just sit. That just shouldn't be so I'm going to commit to using a kit once a month for this "From a Kit" series.

As I mentioned in my May 2023 blog posts, the only "kits" I have left (after completing the first 21) are SEVERAL Stampin' UP! Paper Pumpkin kits. I also mentioned that I've discovered I'm not really very fond of the card designs found in the Paper Pumpkin kits... so I decided IF I'm going to use those Paper Pumpkin kits that I've invested in, I'll need to veer away from the designs as they appear in the kits. 

This month I made 3 cards using the August 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit - Giftable Greetings.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

In addition to the Paper Pumpkin kit I used the following items...

CS - SU Calypso Coral

Dies - Stamplorations Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle, Unity Deckle & Stitches, and Unity Scallops & Rectangles

Ink - Hero Arts Intense Black

Embellishments: Amazon Nail Art Rhinestones

CAS793 Spring Flowers
