Just Us Girls #685 - CAS Week

 It's time for CAS Week at Just Us Girls and Elizabeth has chosen a fabulous challenge for us "Thinking of You".  This type of card can be used for so many different situations and always good to have on hand.


Come on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Guest Designer, TK and the rest of the talented Design Team have created for Thinking of You.


Using a watercolor background I made a while ago, added come shimmer spray and embossed a piece of it.  Placed behind the die cut oval on a white panel.  Die cut the Concord & 9th butterfly from black then traced around the die cut and fussy cut another piece of the watercolor background without the shimmer.  Heat embossed the sentiment on some vellum and die cut with a banner die.  Put it together on a white card base.

Now it's your turn to show us your Thinking of You creations.  You could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

 It's Photo/Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and Vicki has chosen a fabulous Photo for inspiration.


Check out JUGS to see how our fabulous Guest Designer, TK and the rest of the amazing Design Team were inspired by this Photo.

That little blue striped cottage definitely jumped right out at me!  I didn't have any stamps or dies of little houses/cottages, so I had to create my own.  I die cut a blue stenciled square and one from some blue/gray and trimmed what I needed to make the cottage and roof then used a scrap of white to make the door.  First I ink blended the sand and sky and used a speckled stamp to add texture to the sand and then adhered the cottage to a white card base.  Finished it off by stamping the little seagulls in the sky.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

 It's time for Word Week at Just Us Girls and Ina has chosen Hello for us this week.


Come check out JUGS to see what our fabulous Guest Designer, TK and the rest of the amazing Design Team have created to say Hello.


Pretty simple.  I used an unbranded as far as I know, die of the daisy and frame.  Cut 3 times and layered.  Colored with Touch Twin markers, adhered to a blue slim panel, then stamped the sentiment.  Then adhered to a white mini-slimline card base.

Just Us Girls #682

 It's time for Color Week at Just Us Girls and our fabulous hostess Vicki has chosen a beautiful color combo to inspire us.


I would like to welcome our June Guest Designer - TK!  Hop on over to JUGS to see what TK and the rest of the amazing Design Team have created with this color combo.


This is the Mother's Day card I sent to my daughter who is a fantastic mom!  First did some ink blending in the purple and blue Distress Inks over the entire background.  Next inked the embossing folder with Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke and ran through my Big Shot giving this a light gray background.  Stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of vellum and used some very old Vintage Violet from SU for the card base.

Come share you creation with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.
