Always & Forever

Hi there! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Here's a fun card I made for a gorgeous couple getting married soon. This card is for the Lil' Inker Designs Monthly Meetup Challenge. Here's a look.

This gorgeous patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye, as well as the die I used to cut the gold gem. I die cut the colored gem paper panel using Lil Inker Designs Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles. The sentiment is from the All About Ampersand stamp set from LID as well. I stamped the "always" and "forever" sentiments using Wild Rose ink from Lawn Fawn. I gold heat embossed the ampersand onto some vellum, cut it out and gave it some dimension with a bit of foam tape. That's it for now, thanks so much for the visit today. See you soon.

Black, White & Gold Congrats

Hi there! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Here's a little cutie for an Ellen Hutson Challenge. It's for the Ellen Hutson Pin-sights Challenge http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/the_classroom_new/2015/03/introducing-essentials-by-ellen-pin-sights-challenge.html Let's take a look.

 

The black and white background patterned paper is from Studio Calico. For the gold glitter stripes I used some Scor-Tape and superfine glitter. I used the Wonky Squares dies from Lil Inker Designs for the stitched black and white squares. That gorgeous gold heart is from Basic Grey. The sentiment was die cut using Essentials by Ellen Zipper Panel die set and some gold glitter cardstock. That's it for now, thanks so much for stopping by.

Love at First Sight

Hello. I love photo inspiration challenges, they're my favorite! Here's a card I made for the Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration Challenge. http://waffleflower.com/2015/03/waffle-flower-challenge-march-9-22/ Take a look.

 

I used the Flirty Frames stamp/die set to punch out the window for the front of the card and to stamp on the inside of the card. I spritzed some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Citron and Teal for some fun sparkle. The cute mice and sentiment are from the Monochrome stamp set from Waffle Flower. I stamped the mice in Simon Says Stamp Smoke ink and the hearts are stamped in Orchid pigment ink from Avery Elle. I went around the mice with a Copic marker in B0000 for some added interest. That's it for today, thanks for visiting. I'll see you soon.

Sweet Hugs

Hello there! I bought this stamp/die set just so I can make and send cards to my two favorite girls from culinary school. This is also for the Lawnscaping Challenge No. 101, Dots and Stripes. http://lawnscaping.blogspot.com/2015/03/lawnscaping-challenge-dots-stripes.html Here's a look.

 

 The background paper is Candy Necklace from Bazzill. I used a polka dot background stamp from Inkadinkadoo and silver heat embossed it. I used some Perfect Pearl powder and the Flirty Frames stamp/die set from Lawn Fawn for the black label. I die cut the sentiment using Scripty Hugs from Lawn Fawn and some white and silver glitter cardstock. The awesome baking items are from the Lawn Fawn Baked With Love stamp/die set. The color work was done with Copic markers. That's it for now. I can't wait until my girls get these in the mail. Thanks for popping by. I'll see you soon.

So Very Blessed Watercolor Flowers

Hello! I was so excited for this Little Tangles Challenge # 53 Watercolor.   http://littletangles.blogspot.com/2015/02/challenge-53-watercolor.html I got to use one of my all time favorite stamps with one of my favorite sentiments. Here's a look at the card.

 

I used Avery Elle Finished Frames dies to cut the vellum panel. The sentiment is from Neat and Tangled So Very Blessed stamp, I just masked off the flowers and leaves to put emphasis on the lovely sentiment and white heat embossed it. I black heat embossed the flowers onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. The flowers are from the Studio Calico Little Things stamp set. I did some quick watercoloring with Peerless Watercolors and set the panel aside to dry. The patterned paper is from Studio Calico and the gold enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye. That's it for now, thanks for the visit. I'll see you soon.

Hello Love

Hi there! This card is for another fantastic Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration Challenge http://waffleflower.com/2015/02/waffle-flower-challenge-feb-23-to-march-8/ These colors are gorgeous together. Let's take a look at the card.

 

I white heat embossed the triangles from the Jubilee stamp set from Studio Calico onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. I did a quick wash of color with some Peerless Watercolors and left the panel to dry. After the panel was dry, I used some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Citron for some fun color flecks. The sheep and sentiment are from Waffle Flower Monochrome stamp set. I white heat embossed the sheep onto some vellum and then smooshed the back side of the sheep onto an ink pad (Cotton Candy from Simon Says Stamp). The green strip of paper is from Lawn Fawn. I die cut the hearts using Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts Die set and some white glitter cardstock. That's it for now. Thanks so much for popping by. See you soon.

Wrapped With Love

Hello there! I'm so excited to share these fun little pillow boxes as a last minute Valentine's Day project. I made these guys as part of the Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration Challenge. http://waffleflower.com/2015/02/waffle-flower-challenge-feb-9-22-2015/ Here's a look at these cuties.

 

I used a stencil from Heidi Swapp and Distress inks in Mustard Seed, Shaded Lilac and Faded Jeans for those fun polka dots. I die cut the dog using patterned paper from My Mind's Eye and Waffle Flower On My Mark die. I die cut him once again to give him a fun shadow for some added interest. I glued on some fun googly eyes to bring him to life and stamped him with the sentiment from the On My Mark stamp set. The twine is from Hemptique. Oops, I forgot to mention that I used the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board for the cute boxes. I used one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of Neenah and got 2, 6 x 5 1/2 pieces to make 2 boxes. That's it for now, thanks so much for visiting me today. I'll see you soon.
