Hello Beautiful with Glitzy Gold

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I am sharing a card for the current

  Shopping Our Stash Challenge #287: All That Glitters is Gold.

I made a Valentine's card for our daughter, most of the supplies are from the February 2016 Simon Says Stamp card kit. I just love this pretty Ombre paper and those stickers. I used Gold embossing powder for the sentiment, Gold Glitter paper for the hearts and for the strip on the side of the card. Next to that I added a strip of black card stock and added some of the stickers from the Hello Love stickers by Crate Paper. Then finished it with some white and gold twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Have a wonderful day!

Trendy Twine- Hello Beautiful

Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing a project featuring Trendy Twine.
For my project, I made a shabby chic 
and girly inspired gift tag.

I made a tag out of corrugated card stock, then I stamped the sentiment in gray (Memento) and die cut it using the Labels #1 die from Spellbinders. Next I layered the sentiment (Simon Says Stamps) over a white heart doily that I added some light pink ink to around the edges. I added some pearl accents to the tag and some white pigment ink(Hero Arts) for a distress look. I layered everything on the tag and finished it off with some paper roses (Recollections).

Towards the bottom of the tag I added the 

white crocheted ribbon, 

the light teal trim and the Totally Pink Trendy Twine with a bow to finish it off.

Here I used a Chevron Trendy Page Dot in Pink 
then added the eyelet to put the crocheted ribbon through
then tied the ribbon with some Totally White Trendy Twine. 

The back of the tag is kept pretty simple 
for a message to the recipient,
 I added another Pink Chevron Page Dot with an eyelet.

PPS 007- Elephant Birthday Wishes!

Hi, everyone! 

Can you believe it's already May?

Today I am sharing the new sketch challenge at Paper Play Sketches.

Hope you'll join us!

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team Project:

For my take on the sketch, I use the cute elephant and sentiment from the Birthday Celebration stamp (Simon Says Stamps) and colored him with copic markers and added some glitter accents. The elephant panel is die cut with a stitched rectangle die and layered on some Take Note paper (Doodlebug). I punched the paper on the bottom of the elephant with Cherish border punch (Martha Stewart). Finally, I added some enamel dots to accent the card.

Trendy Twine- Happy Spring!

Hi Everyone! 

I hope your day is going well so far,

Today I am sharing a card for the 
Trendy Twine Design Team.

This month the team is featuring Spring 
and Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.

I used the Abby's Spring Showers stamp set for this card. This girl is just too sweet. So I colored her and her umbrella with copic markers trying out some No Line coloring.

I used some of the *new* Grape Fizz Sequins for the rain, who doesn't love purple rain? :) 

I also added the Grape fizz Trendy Twine as a fun whimsical border to the card with a bow on top.

I took some pastel purple paper and made a frame, added some clear acetate for the window and popped it up with foam adhesive for the sequins. Next I added the panel with the sentiment and raindrops. I adhered this to a light teal card base.

Card Harmony- Happy Spring wishes!

Hi Everyone! 

Today is the third Monday in April, so that means it's Card Harmony time with my crafty BFF, Stacey! 

This month Stacey and I are sharing projects 

using Abby's Spring Showers from Simon Says Stamps.

For my card, I tried my hand at No Line copic coloring. I stamped the image in light brown ink and colored with copic markers, I added some accents with prismacolor pencils and a little Wink of Stella clear glitter. The background is stamped with two colors of blue ink with some glossy accents. I added some sparkling clear sequins and the sentiment is heat embossed on vellum, layered and adhered 

with the tiny attacher. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday, Lesley!!

Hi Everyone!! 

I'm so excited to wish the owner of Annie's Paper Boutique, 

Trendy Twine and my friend, Lesley

a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I hope you have a wonderful day!!

The Trendy Twine Design Team has 
all made some cards for her special day!

Here is the card I made for Lesley.

I wanted to use one of Lesley's favorite colors, 

Pink on my card for her 

so I wrapped the Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine around the cardstock like a gift

then I added a twine bow with a heart button.

I die cut the word "Wishing" from 

the Sending and Wishing stamp 

and die set from Simon Says Stamps 

with some pink Recollections cardstock.

Then I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen to the "Wishing" and stamped my sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink from the same set. I added a few stamped hearts from the set with some Melon Mambo ink.

Fall Hello and Thank you cards

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!

Are you ready for the weekend yet?

I know I am. We have had colds around here, 

well hubby and I,

thankfully not the kids and I hope they don't get it.

So being off, makes for a long week!

Today I am sharing a few cards I made last week and this week to say Thank You

to a few of our son's Therapists, 

case manager and a lady who shares her time to watch our kids while we attend a parenting group for Autism once a week.

I made these cards for them and also a goodie bag with some yummy chocolate.

For the first two card, I used Jennifer McGuire's Faux metallic background {here} using a few distress inks and some Gold perfect pearls powder. 

The panel is so shimmery and gorgeous!

I then die cut the Lawn Fawn Stitched leaves out of it, added some pretty sequins behind the first card panel. I used the woodgrain embossing folder from Stampin Up 

and made a layer for my card.
I then die cut the Painted Hello from the Simon Says Stamp October 2015 card kit out of

 Gold glitter cardstock from Michaels.

 I used the leaves I die cut from the first card 

for the second card and added another 

Painted Hello to the card panel. I really like 

how clean and simple the card came out.

For my third card, I made another panel using the technique but this panel was much bigger, so I embossed this panel using Fall leaves swirl from Darice. Then I added the Expressions thinlits die from Stampin Up for the Thankful. I added a some chocolate chip cardstock as a mat.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm joining this challenge, everyone needs Kindness and I love this idea!! 

Have a wonderful day!!

Don't forget to spread some love and kindness!

 

Sending Boyish Love and Hugs

Hi Everyone!

I'm sharing a card featuring Aqua Midnight 
and Totally Black Trendy Twines.

I always need cards to send from the kids 
to friends and family, mostly to Grandma.

So these colors reminded me of some shirts 
our son likes to wear.

I used some Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine to embellish his shirt and shoes.

Closer view of his 

Trendy Twine striped shirt.

Then of the cute shoe laces!! 

I just know she will love the card and its cute how it looks just like our son, minus his glasses!

Hi Everyone!

I was able to make a card last night 

for the current DCWV challenge that ends on the 31st.

For the challenge, this pagemaps sketch was given:

Here is the card I made for the challenge, 

I used The Blossom & Butterflies Stack.

My daughter, Bella (8 yrs. old) is also learning 

to make cards 

and wanted to play along.

Here is her card, she used the Sweet Stack.

The tag holder she used for her card was made by a sweet friend and sent to us in a gift.
My daughter loved it and wanted to reuse it.

Thank you so much for stopping by!! 

Try to play along! 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
