thnx

Hi all!  Today I have a card made using FTL #201 from Clean & Simple Stamping:

ThnxwithTwine1

I cut out the thnx and heart with my Zing using Make-The-Cut and then glued the new Purple Passion Timeless Twine behind the openings.  Isn’t the color just so pretty?!

This is also for Fab 'n' Funky – no stamped images and Charisma Cardz – monochrome.  I hope you like it and TFL!

You give me chills

it’s Christmas

Hi all!  Today’s card was made using the Waltzingmouse sketch:

PlayfulPinwheels4

I used one of my fave new sets, Playful Pinwheels, and papers from MME Lost & Found Christmas paper pad.  I stamped the little pinwheel on 2 different papers and pieced them together.  Then I stamped the frame from Very Vintage Labels No. 18 onto a sheet of Night Before Christmas text paper and die cut it out.  I stamped the stick for the pinwheel and then attached the pinwheel with a brad that I airbrushed green to match.

The sentiment is from the Frame-It set and was die cut with a Stampin’ Up! die.  The star button is from a·muse|studio and is tied with twine from Papertrey Ink.  Finally, I stitched around the base paper with 2 strands of embroidery floss in a matching green.  This is also for the Belli Challenge – Christmas.  I hope you like it and TFL!

hey there

Hi all!  Today’s card was made using the Sugar Bowl sketch:

UpUp&Away1

I stamped Up Up and Away and colored her with Copics.  The dress and balloon were paper pieced and the sentiment is from the Sentiment Sampler set.  I hand dyed the seam binding to match and the papers are from Bella Blvd.

This is also for Simon Says Stamp – Anything Goes, C.R.A.F.T. Challenge – use stitching, and Little Red Wagon - use chevrons. I hope you like it and TFL!

Celebrate Birthday Princess

Hi all!  Today I have a card made using the MFT WSC sketch (I flipped it so it's the mirror image):

BirthdayPrincess1 

I used the PI Birthday Princess set (which includes this and other sentiments) as well as the smallest flower from the Plentiful Petals die set.  The papers are from the MME Follow Your Heart – Be Happy paper pad and the twine is from the Twinery.  She was colored with Copics and her crown and dress were paper pieced.

This is also for Crafty Creations – Buttons and Loves Rubberstamps - Paper piecing. I hope you like it and TFL!

You blow me away

Hi all!  I have another pinwheel card for you today:

PlayfulPinwheels3

Once again, I used the Playful Pinwheels set and a sketch from Waltzingmouse.  The patterned papers are from the Kaiser Craft Fine & Sunny paper pad.  I finished the card off with some stitching, white twill, and a button tied with some pink Timeless Twine.  The sentiment is from the same set and looks a little smudgy because the paper is plastic coated over the clouds so it made it hard for the ink to take.

This is also for Kaboodle Doodles – What’s In (I used a pinwheel and there are banners on my patterned paper).  I hope you like it and TFL!

P.S. Yes, it spins!

hello

Hi all!  Today I have a card made for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge – to be inspired by this picture: 

July

I was inspired by the circles on top of stems, the long skinny rectangles and the colors.  Here’s what I came up with:

SpringGroves1 

I stamped the trees from Spring Groves and colored with colored pencils.  I added a sentiment from Word Salad and finished it off with some white crochet thread tied in a bow.  I hope you like it and TFL!
