Happy Valentine's Day

Hello Stampers! I love pairing kraft and red together for this Valentine's Day card. 

Birthday Presents

Hello Stampers! It's time for another fun challenge over at Party Time Tuesday! This week we have a color challenge for you. I used a variety of patterned papers for my color combo.

Happy Birthday

I was working on a card and stamped this adorable PI image in white and in natural cardstock. I used the one with the natural cardstock so that left this one to use up. 

Celebrate

I just had to throw my hat in the ring for MFT's guest designer challenge. I used MFT's PI stamp called Apple for You. 

Joy to the World

It's time to get a head start on Christmas cards. I found some of these Christmas patterned paper at my local stamping store at a bargain. 

Hope

Just a quick post before I head out the door. I used Wags 'n Whiskers sketch for my card. I stamped the butterfly then added some pearls in the center, but it seems like it's blended into the white part of the butterfly. I also used white ink to distress the edges of all the papers and dotted the green circle with a white gel pen. The flowers are done using MFT's rolled rose die-namics.

Thinking of You

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so it's fitting to make a pink themed card. I used The Stamping Boutique's fairy Cynthia digi stamp. I colored her in using Copics, added some glitter to her wings and sponged the cardstock with pink. I added some zigzag stitches to the green cardstock to give it some texture. The flower is made using MFT's rolled rose die-namics. I used chipboard to cut out the tag, then added the pink patterned paper and stamped the sentiment on top. I finished the tag off with a bow.

The Stamping Boutique is also sponsoring Link Up for Pink's link up party.

Just Because

Summer is coming to an end soon. These colors remind me of summer. I haven't used a solid image stamp in a long time. It was quick and easy. I cut out the cardstocks then stamped the butterfly. I embossed the solid cardstocks, added straight and zigzag stitches. I have a tiny piece of the aqua swirls patterned paper so I used it behind the image. Last, I added the ribbon and rose.

Dream

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring this week's Tuesday Throwdown. This week's challenge is "Hip to be Square". That means use lots of squares. I chose Daisy to use on my card. I love her sweet dreamy look. I colored Daisy in using various shades of purple and green Copic markers. I then cut out the square banners using Nestabilities' square scalloped dies and added some roses and my card is done.

MFT - Thank You

I recently got some MFT die-namics and a PI stamp set. I went to MFT's blog to see what challenges they have going on and what did I find? A guest designer sketch challenge. Music to my ears so I had to join in.

I used this adorable PI stamp. I stamped her using Memento Tuxedo black ink then colored her in with Copic markers. I used one of the smaller oval dies for the sentiment. I cut out the die, stamped the sentiment, then trimmed off the excess to adhere to the right of the image. I added zigzags and straight stitches then used a die-namics mini rolled rose die to create my rose and add it to the top of the ribbon. 

Here's the sketch I used.

The ladies over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge is having a DT call so I thought it would be fun to toss my name in the pot.
