SOS #184: Hide & Seek

It's Tuesday, and time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash. This week's theme is Hide & Seek, and we want you to use a hidden element on your project.

I chose to CASE this card I saw on Pinterest, and here is my version:


This card is largely stash. The patterned papers were included free with an online order, and I chose to use them instead of putting them in with my 6x6 paper pads.

Since I'd used a green paper to pull out the green in the floral pattern, I went with a blue card stock for the panel under the white. It's a piece of Bazzill from my Miscellaneous Blues section that I thought was a pretty close match to the blue in the paper.

The embossing folder is one of the first ones I ever bought back when Shep was a pup, and while deciding which ones to keep and which ones to purge, I chose to use this one and put it in the Keep pile. 

I rounded the top corners, stuck the layers onto a white card base, and my card was done.

There's no stamping here, but I'm happy to have used an embossing folder I'd forgotten I had, and that it stands in as the sentiment. And I used an envelope die I've had for months! #bonus

Why not join us for our Hide & Seek challenge? Stop on over to the SOS post to check out the guidelines and see the projects of my fellow SOS ladies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stuff I used: Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder, mystery patterned paper, Bazzill Sea Water card stock, and the following:

    Super cute idea with the envie and the Birthday folder. Love the blues you used. Fab. card. It was my first folder I got it before I even had a cuttlebug. Someone posted they bought a second one by mistake and offered it to the first person that commented.

    Adorable design, and I love that the embossing is the sentiment.

    Fun card. I was thinking what I can hide and what I can seek for this swap. I had these tiny paper bags on my desk not too long ago. Maybe I still have them. I think yesterday's card would have been good for hide and peek too. seek I mean. peek is good too.

    Love the printed papers, the colors are so engaging and you integrated them well into the overall design! I am glad you went with embossing, it work better, I think, than stamping...it is softer against the pastels in your pp. Very nicely done, as always!
    Hugz,
