Paper Sweeties June Release Rewind!

It's Paper Sweeties Release Rewind Time! Hop around with us today to see how the design team paired the new stamps and or dies with some of the previous release items. 

This card just makes me smile because I love cute rain boots! As you an see I used Showering you with Love and it's coordinating Sweet Cut. I paired it with the perfect sentiment from Spring is Here.

Well that is going to wrap this new release up from me. Please be sure to hop along to my teammates for further inspiration and to see how they paired the old with the new.

Hello Friends!

{So stinkin' Excited that this card was chosen winner of TSTR on June 3rd...}

I have a sweet little card to share today! When I should be cleaning up...I end up playing! *grin*.  I pulled out my sweet little Paper Sweeties and got inky! I needed another stress reliever anyway! 

Here it is!

I started off with a white card base and I rounded the top corners. I followed by adding the yellow patterned paper to the card base after I rounded the top corners to match.  I stamped a banner from Paper Sweeties Fun Shapes and hung with some pretty Baker's twine in the upper left portion of the card.  I gave Abigail a dress from Jelly Bean Time and gave her a watering can to hold from May's release Live Love Grow. 

On some carnival tickets, I stamped the sentiments Bloom from Live Love Grow and Inspire from Beautiful.  Lastly I pleated some aqua satin ribbon from my stash embellishing with yellow buttons and twine.  I created a fluffy handmade flower from tissue paper to complete the look. 

I found inspiration from The Shabby Tea Room...

My watering can was inspired by the striped coffee mug.

Hi!

It's week 10 of the IBSIC, this week we have a sketch to use. Here is my card I have created for the challenge.

I started this card with a kraft card base. I then added some white craft paint to the base.  I then layered my patterned paper from The Old World stack by DCWV. I punched a border to attach to my lovely pink patterned paper followed by wrapping a length of seam binding from Deb's Simple Treasures and tying in a fussy bow embellishing with a white rose. 

For the focal area, a rectangle of Kraft cardstock was cut and layered with a piece of patterned paper also from The Old World Stack.  A sentiment was added to the die-cut piece. A picket fence was punched and painted adding some beautiful flowers to the lower right corner. Finishing touches include rhinestones, buttons and pearls. 

I found further inspiration at The Shabby Tea Room. :-)

and The City Crafter Challenge Blog. A Rose is a Rose :-)

Hi ya!

I hope everyone is off to a fabulous start to your weekend!

I have a quick fun share today primarily inspired by Jay Gee's Inspiration photo! (Which you will find below)

I started with an aqua card base and pieced together my embossed distressed striped white panel to my yellow checked, gingham patterned paper. I just love gingham. I always have....I think I finally retired my well worn yellow checked, gingham dress from Express I have had for ages. I mean the label was an antique not to mention you know it's old because I am thinking yellow gingham is not something you see in there these days.  *sigh*...back to the card! 

A paper doily was added along with three hand-made paper tissue roses adorned with some beautiful pearls. A die-cut tag was made from some fabulous patterned paper by My Mind's Eye layering on another die-cut, a stamped ticket and one fab paper pieced pump which comes from Wilson Designs Glam Squad. Of course I had to add some bling to the pump. :-) Finally an encouraging sentiment was stamped on a hand-cut banner which was embellished with a few pearls.

Inspiration explanation: I created the three tissue flowers based on the three tissue hangings in the first photo and my embossed upper panel reminds me of the white paneling in that first photograph. I brought in the soft aqua from the wall in the second as well as in the button collection.

May Every Sunrise Hold More Promise

Hello Lovelies!

**I am thrilled to share that this card was chosen as Papercraft Stars Runner Up and given the Quasar Award as well as The City Crafter's Spotlight Artist**

I have a quick share for you today inspired by a few challenges that gave me the opportunity to play with some new goodies from Inspired By Stamping and Authentique.  Gray and yellow is a popular combination right now from papercrafting to Home decor, so I thought I would join in. :-)))

I started out with a Whisper White Card base and pieced together my pattern papers from Authentique.   Some crochet trim was added and a doily was hand-dyed and stamped with an image from  Inspired By Stamping - Paris  The doily was then embellished with a variety of buttons around the image which was inspired by Cheryl. :-)

A spellbinders Label 3 was die-cut and stamped with the complimentary Fancy Labels 3 adding an encouraging sentiment from Amazing Inspirations.   Three roses were added to the upper right corner for a finishing decorative touch!

Hey there!

I have a fun little card to share and a bit clean from my usual style of late. I had a little fun with my oval punch and created this flower using some gingham papers in my stash! :-)))

I was further inspired by the sketch over at Mojo Monday.  I substituted the circle for the bloom I created  and added the hand-cut banner at the bottom with a sentiment from Inspired By Stamping Inspiring Sentiments.

The butterfly was punched and embossed and some bling added to the center!

The color inspiration comes from The Paper Players: 

And Papercraft Star: Gingham or Checks
Moxie Fab: Gingham Challenge

So there you have it, nothing fancy but a little fun with an encouraging sentiment! 

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Life....

Hello Sweets!

**Happy that this card was selected as Winner at Playing in Paradise.  I am so appreciative**

An encouraging  and uplifting sentiment.

I started the card by adhering my pieced patterned paper to the Pacific Point card base followed by wrapping a length of vintage seam binding vertically around the card front finishing off with a fussy bow, button and twine adding a pretty pearl to the center of the button. 

The sentiment was carefully stamped on my die-cut focal panels adding a Flower and pearls.  The lower right corner a few  buttons were added as final decorative touch.

I drew my layout inspiration from the Artful Delight Card Sketch Challenge.

And the colors were inspired by Color Throwdown colors of the week. 

My friend Jessi, is hosting the challenge this week at Scrapbooker's Paradise, and I thought I would join in with an encouragement card! :-)

I hope you all are doing something wonderful this weekend.

Inspired By Stamping - May 2012 Day two of peeks!

Hey Peeps~

(This is my second post of the day...to see my Inspired By Stamping Sketch Challenge card click here...I hope you check it out because we really want you to play along!!! )

As promised, I am back with two more peeks from the Inspired By Stamping May release. It's been wonderful reading your comments on the Day 1 creations! Thank you for taking the time to comment with your sweet thoughts.

So let's get started with the two shares I have for you today!

This little number showcases a daisy colored with my prisma colored pencils. It's been awhile since I did a little watercoloring, so I enjoyed breaking those out.  I went with a hot trendy color combination and created my own tag adding some fun checked, gingham patterned paper as a backdrop for the Daisy.  How gorgeous is that sentiment?  This set is called Daisies and will be available for purchase on Friday!!! It comes with 8 stamps and will retail for $15.00.

Moving on to the second make for the day is from a set called Amazing Inspirations.

With both these cards, I have moved away from the pink palettes you see a lot on my blog. With this card I chose to go with a beautiful soothing blue and green palette. The quote and Hope are two separate stamps. A beautiful flourish was added below the quote which is from the Fancy Labels 3 stamp set. 

I took a length of vintage seam binding and wrapped around the card front and tied in a fussy bow embellishing with a button, twine, and a tag which features a sentiment from Amazing Inspirations.  This collection comes with 11 stamps and will retail for $15.00.

The back of this card showcases a Handmade By stamp that will be available as a gift with a qualifying purchase. 

For Friday's release party, Joanna will be offering free shipping that day only!!! Enter code freeshipping at checkout. Are you interested in winning 3 stamps sets?  Please be sure to head over to Joanna's Blog to learn how!
