Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Designers Choice! 

Well, let me tell you...having free reign to create anything isn't easy either. So many ideas running through my head was kind of overwhelming.
But I narrowed it down to a stamp set I hadn't used before and
combined that with a few of my favorite things.
Can you guess what those might be???

Well, if you follow me, you may know what they are. But if you don't yet...click the pink "follow me" button below or to the right sidebar, and follow us, so you don't miss our monthly hops and giveaways!

Anyhooo...I'll tell ya...I LOVE to heat emboss in all kinds of different ways, which I'll share in more detail next month, I LOVE die cuts, and I LOVE bling and sparkle. Because what girl doesn't, right?

​Today I'm sharing this magical beauty using some of my favorite things: gold/clear heat embossing, die cuts, distress oxide inks, and sparkle to 

complete this mystical shaker card.

Hi everybody! Kim here, for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to celebrate and Sponsor 'International Women's Day' which is kicking off today with a Blog Hop, a Linky Party, and an Instagram Hop from March 8-31, 2020 IST. And the fun part is...you can join us too! ​Details below...

The idea behind this hop started last year with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders. So let us come together again and empower our sisters all around the world. Wow! Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.


For today's project: I was inspired by the beauty and strength of our fabulous CFS 'Be A Unicorn' stamp set, with coordinating 'Unicorn Fri-Die' to create this amazing project with distress inks, heat embossing, and some metallic sparkle.

Click "here" for a step by step tutorial on how I made this card and supply list.

Congratulations!!! 

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Monochromatic! 
Which means the creation of something made from one color hue or one color family. Fun, right? Well, I'll tell you, this was quite challenging for many of us. It's really hard to just stick to one color family and not add black or some other color, as we love all colors and pretty patterned paper. Shown above are the purple and red color palettes I chose to work with this month. Pretty, right?

My first card is a passionate purple beauty...great for any occasion!

My second card is a fiery red beauty in honor of Valentines or my single gal pals for Galentines Day, Birthday, Graduation, or any occasion!

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Love & Friendship Month! ~Kim

Congratulations!!! 

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Change!!!
This is my favorite time of year, because it's my Birthday month ya'll! But also because the leaves change colors and pumpkins are everywhere. I just love it! So what inspires me about change??? 

It had me really thinking... 

So in honor of my little sister, who lost her battle with Breast Cancer 2yrs ago and our theme about change, I was inspired by our many Fall family birthdays, the orange colors, pumpkins everywhere, and 

all the Fall family fun.

​I hope I've inspired you to mix and match your stamps, products, and techniques and maybe try some new things and see where it takes you!
Because not all changes are bad. It's how you react to them and keeps
​you moving forward...and living!

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Rainy Days!!!
Which means to me: April showers, bring May flowers. And it's starting to green up and bloom here in the South. And where there is rain, sometimes there are rainbows, which was the inspiration for my project this month. I wanted "Harmony Girl" to appear like she's strong and confident, dancing in the puddles, and she's coming through the storm into the big bright happy rainbow of life. 

I had to be creative, as I wanted to create a "rainy" effect to my card and I achieved that by using a few "new to me" techniques and products and mixing stamp sets I hadn't used before either.  ​As shown on my "Harmony Girl" card below...
