The challenge:

Tell us or show us in a project why YOU are glad to live in a world where there are Octobers!

My Answer

Well, when I think of October, I think of rich colors, textures and warmth : ) . I hope you see this come through in the cards I created using Masquerade Ball!

I used a teeny tiny bit of paper from Septmeber’s Kit for this last card! I hope you don’t mind 🙂

Happy World Card Marking Day! It’s a Monster Mash!

Posted on October 4, 2014 by justtyra

First — Happy World Card Making Day!

What an awesome day for card makers to hop to different blogs, make new friends and celebrate everything about card making! I’m marking the occasion by celebrating Sweet Stamp Shop’s Release TODAY of Monster Mash:

Use Monster Mash for family cards, new baby cards and of course Halloween – HELLO! Here is my take on this fun set. I used a little watercolor on these fun Monsters:

My watercoloring did not give me the same results as my copics but I think that adds a little character to these peculiar little monsters.

See that adorable yellow monster? Today the Sweet Stamp Shop is offering it a a digital FREEBIE!!!

If you make ANY purchase in the Sweet Stamp Shop this weekend, and leave a comment “FREEBIE” this cute monster will be emailed to you!! Also please let the Sweet Stamp know that “Tyra sent you.” I would so appreciate it!

Funny Side Note: this card barely made it to press this week! Between being responsible for kiddie pick up and drop off this week when my husband was out of town, extra early starts for special work projects, the occasional child grabbing a monster or two when I wasn’t looking, and I think one time I actually fell asleep coloring a set and messed up the whole page! So this card was a miracle to make this week! This post is a celebration in and of itself! I know many of you can relate?

Take care and enjoy World Card Making Day!

xo, Tyra

Pattern Play Reveal

Posted on September 17, 2014 by justtyra

Today I’m sharing two cards created using the easy Pattern Play technique I shared on the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog yesterday.

Here is the full reveal of the inspiration behind my “too much, says who” card:

Rhonda was randomly chosen to receive the cards featured with this comment:

Yay Rhonda! Please email me at tyra (dot) nd (dash) 97 (at) hotmail (dot) com.

By the way – the sentiment set is from the Sparkle and Shine set.

And, as promised, here is my second card using the same technique:

Hi It’s Tyra and I wanted to share these funky little tags I created using Distress inks and a little ribbon from Allison Kreft:

Isn’t that dress perfect for a party? I’m going to enter this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog where this week the theme is Anything Goes! I don’t very often play with Distress Inks likes this, but I must say that I enjoyed it! I think I’m going to continue mixing (literally and figuratively speaking – ha!) things up here and there. Change is good sometimes, no?
