House of Cards - Enamel Dots

Good Morning everyone and welcome to the House of Cards March Challenge - Enamel Dots.  There are some wonderful tutorials on the House of Cards blog on ways of making enamel dots rather than purchasing them.

Don't you hate it when you can't find something in your craft room?  I was totally frustrated because I purchased some enamel dots just for this challenge.  I know they made it to my craft room.  When it was time to make the card do you think I could find them?  I didn't want to make any enamel dots since I rarely use them.  They are too thick for Operation Write Home cards (or for any mailing in a regular envelope).  So I used my candy dots instead.  Here's my card - just pretend those are enamel dots on it (LOL)!


With all the snow we are having here in Colorado I needed something bright and cheery!  
Come join us at the House of Cards for some fun with enamel dots.

Happy Crafting!
Donna

  1. We have snow like you are having here in the Northeast so this card is a delight to look at. Your dots looks great not matter what type they ended up being. The perfect embellishments for this card. Stay warm and hope you get to dig out soon. We got another 6 inches last night with more to come tomorrow night and maybe Thursday also. All the more reason I enjoyed seeing your card this morning.

  7. Hi Donna
    Yes you did make me smile. They're not something I use so I was glad to get a bargain. I too would have been non the wiser about your dots if you hadn't fessed up lol!
    Love the bright colours and design. Been gorgeous but windy here today. Hope Spring is not to far off for us all.
    Best wishes.

  8. Oh Donna, it is so funny that you could not find your enamel dots after you put them in your craft room. I have the same problem, hence the name of my blog, Black Hole Art Studio. Stuff goes in and goes missing for a period of time. Eventually, I find it. LOL Love your card with the candy dots. It is hard to tell they are not enamel. Hugs, Barbara/HOC DT

  9. I love your design for this, Donna! I have so many of these fancy circle stamps, but I haven't liked a CAS use of them as much as I like this one!! Hugs, Darnell

  11. This is so pretty! Love the colors that you used-and you wouldn't know those were Candi's. I have lost many things in my scrapbook room-so I totally understand but you made a fantastic recovery. :) Hugs--Katy HOC Teammate :)

  13. Hi Donna! Love this card! The colors are great! Heck, I spend half my time in the craft room looking for something I knew I bought and can't remember where I put it. So, I can sympathize! Have a great week!
