Hi friends! I hope you've had a wonderful week - I can't believe how fast it's flown by! Today I'm sharing a twist & pop card created for the Canvas Corp Brands Crew Challenge - Lost In Translation. Every month we have a challenge open to the Design Team and as soon as I saw the theme of this one I had an idea of what I wanted to create. Our challenge was to use a word that was not from our native language, so I chose Arigato, and the Japanese symbols that mean the same thing, which translate into Thank You in English.
I layered 7gypsies papers, the Tattered Angels mushroom painted with glimmer mists and preprinted flowers fussy cut from Canvas Corp's Compose Your Life paper on my card base and then heat embossed the sentiment from Pretty Cute Stamps Sushi Sentiments stamp set on a kraft Canvas Corp tag sprayed with Glimmer Mist.
Inside, I followed the directions from a previous Twist & Pop Card video HERE and added more fun crafty goodies from the Canvas Corp Brands shop. I always love the magic that happens when I open up these cards!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Creative Studio Blog to see what other crafty Crew Members came up with and get a list of all the supplies I used. Wishing you a very happy crafty week ahead friends!
I am so so super excited to announce I've joined the SpiegelMom Scraps Design Team! I've known Jody from SMS for a while now and she is such an amazing person with a fabulous small business that I've loved supporting. I am so honored to be chosen as one of her DT members and have to pinch myself that I get to work alongside such other talented, lovely ladies using such fantastic products!
Now, a little about me - I am a mom of 3 beautiful girls - ages 29, 10 and 5! I love creating and whether it's cardmaking, scrapbooking or home decor (and a little crochet) I'm always busy. I love involving my girls and seeing how they use crafty supplies in new and creative ways. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada, but I grew up on the East Coast of Canada in Nova Scotia - so I'll always be a Maritime Girl at heart ;) If you've followed my blog you probably know I LOVE using SMS Sequins! To me, they are like sprinkles on the icing on a cake - fun, pretty and delicious! I'll be sharing a Creative Card feature at the SpiegelMom Scraps blog this year, so be sure to follow along so you don't miss any of the awesome creations I've got in mind!

I chose a cute Gorjuss Girl in a tea cup stamp and used watercolour paper along with my Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers to colour in the images. I added a little tag to my removable tea bag, which I decorated with pretty star cork and sequins and attached to a belly band.
A while ago I got a Heartfelt Creations Christmas paper pad that had a lot of purple and blue papers in it and I thought it would be great to incorporate these colours into my spring card! I definitely don't see Christmas when I look at this card, so it was a neat way to get more use out of this pretty paper pad.
I love the 'twist and pop' motion of this card! I'm sure whoever gets this card is going to be intrigued!
I absolutely love the colours in these sequin mixes and the sweet little flowers included! I love using sequins inside my card too to decorate!
After taking off the tea and band this card can be propped up and looks just as lovely!
