Not 2 Shabby October Mood Board Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I have another card for the Not 2 Shabby Shop October Mood Board Challenge.  This month we have some fabulous colors and inspiration.  You may enter the challenge 3 times if using Not 2 Shabby products.  If using other products you may enter 1 time to win a $15 Gift Card to the N2S Shop.  

Without further ado here is my card. 

Aren't these colors and mood board Amazing??

I’m absolutely loving the Frosted & Fabulous Ephemera Die-Cut Pack! For today’s card, I used the adorable cookies, candy cane, and hot cocoa pieces, paired with acorns and pine leaves for a cozy, festive feel. I also used coordinating patterned papers from the 6x6 Frosted & Fabulous Paper Pack to bring everything together beautifully.

I used the circle die from The Ultimate Snow Globe Shaker Die Set to cut out the snowflake paper. I also added silver glitter paper and other patterned papers from the Frosted & Fabulous Paper Pack to complete the design.

I stamped my sentiment in blue ink using a circle die from the Winter Wishes Stamp Set. Then I adhered everything to an A2 card base (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). I used foam tape to pop up the sentiment for a bit of dimension. From my stash, I found some snowflake ribbon and added a strip along the bottom of the card. To finish it off, I added glitter enamel dots from the Cutesy Halloween Set. And just like that, my card is complete—I can almost smell the pine and fresh-baked cookies!

I can't wait to see your projects and how you are inspired.  I'm loving the projects that have been entered so far!  Enter your project here

Not 2 Shabby September Mood Board Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited to have another card for the Not 2 Shabby September Mood Board Challenge.  I hope you will join us.  Use Not 2 Shabby Shop products and you may enter the challenge up to 3 times.  Other products that used you may enter one time for a chance to win a $15 GC. 

 Without further ado, here is my card.

I used the Cozy Cup A2 Card Fronts and let me tell you they are all so gorgeous!! You also get bonus sentiments in this pack.  So amazing!!

On this card front, I trimmed around the image just like it shows you, it has a deckled edge. I used scissors and fussy cut around it.  I knew I would pop it up.  I inked the negative background paper with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink so it could match.  I then cut out some fun foam smaller than my panel and glued it to the back.

 I chose to use a Pear Blossom Press Shaker Pouch that I had from a previous Bundle purchasing The Ultimate Shaker Snow Globe. I chose to use the 2 " with some shaker bits from my stash. I also cut out a sentiment that's included with a circle die using The Ultimate Snow Globe Shaker Die Set.  The shaker fits perfectly with the sentiment.  It reads "My Coffee Is Strong And So Am I." I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Lastly, I added some leaves from the Cute Halloween Coffee Ephemera and enamel dots from Pumpkin Spice.  I love how this card came out, I can't stop shaking it.  I hope you grab these amazing card fronts and others as this release like all the months is amazing.  I hope I inspired you to join our Mood Board Challenge.  I look forward to seeing what you create. Oh and good luck!! Shop Not 2 Shabby Shop here.

I love the Birds in Paradise Paper Pad and Ephemera they are so beautiful and perfect to use together. They are also part of the Box of the Month Membership. 

  On my card, I first cut my pink plaid paper which I love to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  The large birds strip paper is 1 3/4 x 5.  Next, I used my EZ Wonder die #1 from Not 2 Shabby and LV Handcrafted for the 2 pattern paper flags.  I stapled them together with my Tim Holtz tiny Attacher and adhered them to my birds strip.  My sentiment comes from the On The Sunny Side 6x6 Paper Pack.  I cut my sentiment with my paper trimmer and used a corner rounder tool on 2 edges.

It was time to put assemble my card.  My birds strip is popped up with foam tape as well as my flamingo and everything else is glued with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue to a light gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I love this card I think it's so cute and perfect to cheer someone up.  I really hope you join our challenge.  It would love for you to join, and you still have time.  Last day to join is July 31.

Not 2 Shabby June 2025 Challenge Mood Board

 Hello everyone I have a card today that makes me so excited.  I am participating in the Not 2 Shabby Mood Board Challenge for June.  I love the inspiration for this month.  I have been eating so much watermelon lately that I am saying that is my number 1 fruit, so I had to make a watermelon card.  Without further ado here is my card.

So for my card as you can see it's a watermelon card. YAY.  I was so inspired with the question what my favorite fruit was that Teresa asked on the N2S Blog and I literally have been eating watermelon everyday. I bought a huge one and have been cutting a little at a time.  So delicious.  So yes watermelon is my favorite and I love love watermelon smoothies yum.  

Okay to my card.  I used a older Not 2 Shabby paper pad called My Sweet Valentine that I cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I also used the EZ Wonder die 1 to cut my glitter circle out from the same paper pack.

I also used the EZ Wonder die 1 with green cardstock and red foiled cardstock. I love all the strips you get perfect for fast and easy cards.  I cut out a sentiment from the N2S On The Sunny Side paper pack that's new to me.  Love that this paper pad has sentiments.  I downloaded the digital Watermelon Popsicle Stamp on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds.  I colored it in with copic markers and fussy cut it out.

I glued everything to a A2 card base and popped up my watermelon popsicle with foam tape as well as the red foiled circle die-cut.  I placed a few white gel pen accents and added glossy accents to the seeds.  I had so much fun making this card.  I hope I inspired you to enter the challenge.  You may submit your card up to 3 times for a chance of winning a $15 GC.  So exciting.

Cottage Roses Pattern Paper And Ephemera For A Quick And Beautiful Card

 Hello everyone.  I thought it would be fun to join a couple of challenges before this month ends. Not 2 Shabby has a May 2025 Monthly Mood Board Challenge and I really love this months Colors and inspiration. I'm also loving the Top Inky Sketch #32. So, I made a card using the Not 2 Shabby Cottage Roses Collection.  I just love how beautiful that collection is.  I also recently watched the Cottage Rose Retreat and that was a lot of fun. Without further ado here's my card.

Isn't this collection so cute??? I love it, it's so perfect right? Right up my alley.  So I used the Not 2 Shabby Color and Mood Board Inspiration.  I also used Crystal Minkler's Top Inky Sketch Inspiration #32 which helped me make this cute simple card.  

I cut my papers from the Cottage Roses 6x6 Paper Pad according to the Top Inky Sketch #32.  I used the Cottage Roses Ephemera   I added foam tape to the back of the shirt, shoe, and cup.

I used some cream paper to incorporate that creamy color from the color inspiration.  I also wanted some red to match so I used Hero Arts Hero Hues core ink in cherry with a Unity Stamp Co. Rubber Stamp for my sentiment.  The sentiment came from Uniquely Unity by ang Blossomgram monthly stamp from March 2025.  

I glued everything to a A2 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 heavy weight card base and added some glitter pen to the roses on shirt, shoe, and rose on cup.  I love how this card came out and I hope you do too.  If you would like to join these challenges you still have time. 

Hugs, Von Marie 💗
