Snowglobes and Honeycomb - Christmas Gift Bag

This month's release at We Are 3 includes a little bit of summer and a little bit of winter - and I love how well they go together! Simple gift bag decor with Snow Globes and Honeycomb.

                                                                           

Thank You! Monday Greetings Challenge

Last week, the Monday Greetings Challenge at The Outlawz was celebrating gratitude - don't faint, but I actually got a card made! I dug into my scraps and found everything I needed except for the greetings - so I used a greeting from We Are 3's Itty Bitty sentiment collection. I was excited to use up some scraps from my stash. all working well together.

We Are 3 July Release - HoneyComb

This month at We Are 3, we have a fab new release - HoneyComb. I used HoneyComb for my background from this fun Diamond-Top folded card - and found some old punch-out flowers in my stash. Perfect! 

Merry Christmas!

Here it is - a favorite time of year - Christmas in July! What I have to share today is an ATC made for two challenges - Power Poppy's Christmas in July and an ATC challenge for Sizzix Eclips Users.

So I chose many images to color for Christmas in July. The fireplace background is from Merry Christmas Stamps (Emily Peterson) - size adjusted to 2.5 x 3.5 for the ATC. Then I colored up some rectangles to act as my "bricks." I adorned the fireplace mantel with Hollyberries (Power Poppy) and Vintage Stockings (Miss Kate Cuttables). The stocking was pre-colored - I added some shading. I finished off the ATC with Overstuffed Santa (Dan Moose). Then everything was Print 2 Cut with my Eclips. (#eclipsecalmaker)  I love the dimension of my ATC.

We Are 3's July Release - HoneyComb

For this card, I went again to the HoneyComb collection. The Retro Phone is form SVG Cuts, and the sentiment is computer generated.

We Are 3's Cone Flower Love

Happy Monday! Today's card is made with patterns from the Cone Flower Love collection, with a layered flamingo svg.

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper #648

I made this layout for this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers. I just LOVE when a layout turns out as I imagined...this turned out to be one of my favorites. The patterned paper in the background and matting is from the Look Up collection - as well as the patterns used on the banner (subtle, but from that same collection).

July Release - HoneyComb

I so love the honeycomb patterns in the new release. The colors are pretty amazing. 

The "family" is colored digitally.  I added a sentiment from Love SVG - popped for dimension.

Paper Ala Mode's Fruits and Vegetables

Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables? Well, it's easy to do so this week because the challenge theme at Paper Ala Mode is Fruits and Vegetables! I have been making decorated gift bags - so I was inspired to add this Silly Chili Pepper from our sponsor Oddball Art to the top of my bag.

I reversed the image a couple times to get a string of peppers we always see on the side of the road.  I love the way it turned out.

Tri-Fold Card and We Are 3's July Release

Okay - it's a new month - and at We Are 3, that means new releases!!!! I was so excited about this month's new papers, I had to take a pattern out of each to make a card! The first panel sports paper from Snow Globes, the second panel uses a pattern from Fruity, and the third panel has a fun Honeycomb pattern. For my image I used Strawberry Cone and added a little glitter to my strawberries for some shimmer.

A bit hard seeing all the luscious glitter on the strawberries.  

I hope you're inspired to take a look at the rest of the July Release and fabulous samples from the design team. 

                

We Are 3 and a Cherry on Top

For today's card, I cut the Watermelon Cupcake and added it to a Fruity sentiment. I added the Fruity background, and a little accent from the HoneyComb collection.

I'm really happy with the results, especially after I added the few red gems.  Pop over to We Are 3's Facebook page and take a look at beautiful inspiration from all the design team members.

                                             

Stick It Down! Sketch Challenge

It's a new month and new challenges at Stick It Down - so, of course, I had to try my hand at one. I wasn't able to get a really good pic of my layout, but I wish you could see it in person! I used Layered Doily 5 from Monica's Creative Corner as a stencil for the circles around the edges. I digitally "spray painted" around the stencil in purple to show off the lovely white lace circles. The embellishments are from my stash (kind of on a mission to use up some of those things).

We Are 3's Release - Honey Comb

You all know there's nothing I love more than quick and easy cards. One thing I like about We Are 3 images is getting a black line digi image, as well as a pre-colored image. When I'm in a hurry, I appreciate not having to take time to color an image. Since this is basically a one layer card (other than matting), I added some yellow shading around the sentiment and honey bee - then called it done!

   

Power Poppy Stamps Creative Confetti Challenge

Just a little quicky for a couple challenges. The fab image is Gladioli - a digi from Power Poppy. One digi is left uncolored and used as a background for the colored gladioli - inspired by Ardyth Percy-Robb's spotlight card. The colors for the flowers and card background are inspired by the Color Challenge at The Outlawz.

Join us at Creative Confetti for an opportunity to WIN some of Power Poppy's fab stamps.

We Are 3 in July - Snowglobes

Let's celebrate Christmas in July.

The paper is from the new Snowglobes Collection.  The snowflake is Icy Snowflake (My Scrap Chick).

The Design Team has come up with some creative ideas, so pop by We Are 3 to have a look.  

We Are 3 July Release

This month, We Are 3 is releasing some super fun papers - loving the colors!!! I love these turquoise patterns available in both the new Snow Globes and Honeycomb collections. The sentiment I've used here is from the new Fruity sentiment collection. The cupcake is last month's Watermelon Cupcake.

Bonnie knocked the July collections out of the park - be sure to check the Facebook page for tons of creative inspiration this month.  I hope you're inspired enough to try your own.
