Make It Monday Collage + Tuesday Trigger: Friendly Flowers + Simon Says Birthday

When I saw the Make It Monday video this week, I was a little intimidated. Making a collage with my stamps is not something I usually do or feel comfortable with, so I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed making this first card. You can check out the tutorial and join in on the fun over at Capture the Moment.



The main focal stamp and birthday stamp are both from Papertrey Ink, along with the card stock and dies. I had to dig into a few other stamp sets to put together my background collage.

Because this is a birthday card, I am also linking it up to the Simon Says . . . Happy Birthday challenge celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog's birthday.

The second card I am sharing is for the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Friendly Flowers. As always, Cath comes up with a fabulous trigger image.




I pulled out my Lovely Layers die looking for the larger scalloped circle to cut a few little felt flowers and ended up using the larger dies instead. 




One of my favorite things about the trigger image is the pop of red, so I had to thread my button with red floss and anchor the panel on a red card base.




Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

  2. LOVE both of these cards, Jacquie! The collage technique is not one I was real comfy with either, but you created such a beautiful card.
    The felt flower on your TT card is fabulous also :)
