Totally Stampalicious!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!

Here is my card for today's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT), which is being sponsored by the fabulous Totally Stampalicious!!! SO fun!!

For my card today, I used the Sweet Birthday Kids set. I stamped the little girl (how cute is she!) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers. I cut around the balloons and they cut out and embossed the panel with Circle Nestabilities, leaving the balloons "out of the box".

All the patterned paper is from DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket...there is just something about this paper that makes me smile! I sewed each layer on my sewing machine as well.

The border was made from Die-Namics Open Scallop Die from My Favorite Things, and I added some Hot Pink Brads from Taylored Expressions as well as some buttons from my stash. The sentiment, "Happy Birthday", also from Sweet Birthday Kids, was stamped and then punched out with the Word Window Punch and I layered them under the bottom button.

Check out what the AMAZING SFYTT sisters have done with this sketch right here!!

For my card today, I am using one of the BRAND new images released on Wednesday from Stamping Bella, King Of The Candy Canes! I cannot even stand how CUTE he is!!

He is stamped onto Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and colored with Copic Markers. I added some Polar White Flower Soft to the rim of his crown as well as the top of the stocking he is holding. I cut him out and popped him up on some foam tape on a circle of Blush Red Dark that I cut from Circle Nestabilities and embossed with the Snowflakes Embossing Folder.

All the patterned paper is from Good Cheer by October Afternoon and the music paper pattern was cut with the Die-Namics Jumbo Scallop Die. I added some yummy ribbon and the bow was created with the Bow Easy. I finished this one off with three red brads.

There She Goes Sneak Peeks Continue!

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!!

Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks for the fabulous new release from There She Goes!!

Did you make your way here from my super fab friend Jessie's Blog? If so, perfect! If not, please start the hop at the There She Goes Blog so that you don't miss a thing!

Today, the Trendsetter's get to share peeks of two more AMAZING sets with you, Bee Happy and Puppy Love, both illustrated by the amazing Torico!

I LOVE both of these new sets...they are totally my style!! For my first card, I used the SUPER adorable Bee Happy set (this may well be my favorite set of the release!) and I started by stamping the flowers twice in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock. I then stamped the bumble bee and masked him as well.

I cut out and embossed the panel with Square Nestabilities and while the panel was still in the die, I airbrushed the sky with the Copic Airbrush System. I colored all the images with Copic Markers, cut out the flowers and then popped them up on Foam Tape. I added some Crystal Glitter to the center of each flower and on the bee's wings as well (how CUTE is he? LOVE his expression!).

I added some grass with the Die-Namics Fresh Cut Grass Die and the clouds were cut of felt with the Die-Namics Cloud Die. The patterned paper is 72 & Sunny by We R Memory Keepers, and the sentiment, "Just (bee) Cause" was cut out using the Tags Trio by Spellbinders.



My second card today features the Oh So Sweet Puppy Love set! This set is HUGE and has the CUTEST images and sentiments!!

I started by stamping the girl and puppy with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I added some polka dots to her dress with a White Gel Pen.


The patterned paper is all from Pretty Please by My Minds Eye, and I sewed each layer on my sewing machine. The sentiment, "Dogs leave pawprints forever on your heart" in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and cut it out with Die-Namics Framed Greeting Die. I also added a border with the Die-Namics Open Scallop Die.

The flower is a die cut that is part of the Pretty Please paper kit from My Minds Eye and I added a button to the center for a bit of dimension. I didn't really have room for ribbon so I opted to leave it off!

The next stop on this SUPER darling hop is at the UBER fabulous Kim's Blog!

For my card today, I used the absolutely ADORABLE new I Even Like The Box stamp designed by none other than Mo Manning!!

This little sweetie is on Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and I colored him with Copic Markers. I cut out and embossed the panel with Square Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe.

I wanted to keep the layout simple so as to not distract from this darling image. The patterned paper is from Good Cheer by October Afternoon and the Classic Yellowgreen panel was run through the Cuttlebug with the Snowflakes Embossing Folder. All the layers were sewn on my sewing machine.

I added a ribbon of Twill Tape that I created with my Bow Easy and added a button from my stash. A silver brad in each corner finishes this one off!

There She Goes Sneak Peeks Continue!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!!

Welcome to the 2nd day of sneak peeks for the fabulous new release from There She Goes!!

Did you make your way here from my super fab friend Jessie's Blog? If so, perfect! If not, please start the hop at the There She Goes Blog so that you don't miss a thing!

Today, the Trendsetter's are sharing peeks of TWO FABULOUS mini sets, Kindred Spirits and Winning The Race!

For my first card, I used the GORGEOUS new mini set, Kindred Spirits! Now, I know, this card isn't my "normal", but I totally LOVE it!!

I started with inspiration from Heather's Blog and THIS CARD in particular...I LOVE her CAS style, which is something I struggle with. From her blog, I was directed to the Clean & Simple Stamping Blog, and my card is based on the 100th Sketch on their Blog.

Now, my card has more layers (I just can't help myself), but I still think I achieved a CAS look. I started with Choice Snow White Cardstock and stamped the flowers from Kindred Spirits in Memento Rose Bud and Memento Pear Tart. I stamped the base first by stamping off once, and then stamped the outline over the base using the ink straight from the pad.

The patterned paper is DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket and I added a border of green felt using the Die-Namics Open Scallop Die. I finished this one off with three hot pink brads in the top corner!


My second card today uses a FABULOUS new mini set called Winning The Race! This is the latest set in the There She Goes Stamps For A Cause, and for each Winning The Race Mini Set sold, $4.00 will be donated to the American Cancer Society!

For my card, I started by stamping the girl in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers.


I cut out and embossed the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities and I sewed around the edges and added a brad to each corner a la Jody Morrow (love how she does that!).

The patterned paper is from Ooh La La by My Minds Eye, and I also used Blush Red Light Cardstock that I first stamped the sentiment on, "Winning the race against cancer". I then embossed this panel with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

The other layers were also sewn on my sewing machine and I added a border with the Die-Namics Open Scallop Die. I also stamped, colored and cut out the finish line tape and the ribbon, and I adhered the finish line tape over the girl. I added a bow that I created with the Bow Easy using Whisper White Satin and added the pink ribbon on top.

The next stop on this FABULOUS hop is at the amazing Lisa's Blog!!

There She Goes Sneak Peeks Begin!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!!

Welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for the fabulous new release from There She Goes!!

Did you make your way here from my super fab friend Jessie's Blog? If so, perfect! If not, please start the hop at the There She Goes Blog so that you don't miss a thing!

Today, the Trendsetter's get to share peeks with you of a GORGEOUS new set illustrated by Chris Dark, The Journey, by There She Goes! It's a BEAUTIFUL set chock full of images and sentiments that you will just love!!

For my card, I started by stamping the beautiful flowers and a gorgeous oriental pot in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored both with Copic Markers. I cut out and embossed the panel with Labels 9 Nestabilities, and while the panel was still in the Nestabilities, I sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe and Walnut Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment, "Your friendship soothes my soul" on Choice Buttercream again and also cut it out and embossed it with Labels 9 Nestabilities. I sponged it with the same colors as well.

I pulled out some old school (lol!) papers for this one...Blush by Basic Grey. I thought the oriental feel would be perfect with this set! I also sponged the edges of both patterns and then stitched each panel on my sewing machine.

I added some self-adhesive pearls to each corner and finished this one off with some luscious Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon. I created the bow with my Bow Easy.

The next stop on this Journey (get it?) is at the AMAZING Kim's Blog!

One Martini, Two Martini...

Three Martini...Floor!!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!!

Here is a card I made using a super fun stamp from Stamping Bella, Addy'tude LOVES her tini! Isn't she super sassy? She totally makes me smile!!

For the layout, I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC79, and I actually flipped it to accomodate my image.

I started by stamping Addy'tude in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and colored her with Copic Markers. I cut out and embossed the panel with Oval Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe.

I added some Crystal Glitter to her boa (love that!) and a Glaze Pen to her glasses and the martini glasses! In real life, it's super sparkly! The patterned paper is all from Thrift Shop by October Afternoon and the scallop borders are from Die-Namics Open Scallop Die.

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the patterned paper, "One Martini, Two Martini, Three Martini, Floor" but it didn't photograph well. It's much more obvious in real life. I finished this one off with three black brads!

This week's Bellarific Friday challenge is Christmas In July! Be sure to email your card to Emily by Thursday evening to have a chance at winning Bella Bucks! There is a new release starting Wednesday...so Bella Bucks would be quite handy! Make sure to head on over to Bloggabella tomorrow for another Tantalizing Toosday!

Oh Snap!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!

Here is my card for today's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT!)...another FAB sketch from Jen!!!

For my card today, I HAD to use the new Picture Perfect a la modes from My Favorite Things. I cannot even stand the CUTENESS and could not wait to get her inky!!

I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and cut out and embossed the panel with Oval Nestabilities. I sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe as well.

I colored her with Copic Markers and the camera has some touches of Clear Spica Glitter Pen too. I stamped the sentiment, "Oh Snap!", also from Picture Perfect and cut it out and embossed it with the smallest of the Tags Trio by Spellbinders. I sponged this as well with Memento Canteloupe.

The patterned paper is So Sophie by My Minds Eye (yum!) and I used the new Die-Namics Framed Greeting Die with some Suede Brown Dark cardstock for the center accent and I embossed it with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder. All the layers were sewn on my sewing machine and I added some cream embroidery thread for a fun accent. The buttons are from the Scoop o' Buttons Chocolate Kiss Collection and I hung the "Oh Snap!" panel with some more embroidery thread from the button!

Bella or Stella Bellarific Friday!

Hi everyone! Happy Bellarific Friday!!

Today's Bellarific Friday Challenge was to use your Bellas or Stellas! SO fun!!

For my card today, I used the super sassy Stella With An Olive On Top by Stamping Bella! This is my first time using a Stella (gasp!)...what was I waiting for? I adore her!!

For the layout, I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge from last Sunday, SSSC77 and I started by stamping Stella in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and colored her with Copic Markers.

I cut out and embossed the panel with Square Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe. I added a touch of Glossy Accents to her glass and some Martha Stewart Crystal Glitter on her crown and wand.

The patterned paper is a mix of patterns from Thrift Shop by October Afternoon and the sentiment, "congratulations" is also from Stamping Bella. I created the black border with the Die-Namics Open Scallop Die.

Like...Totally Radical!

Hi everyone!! Happy Thursday!!

Today I have a radical card to share with you! I had SO much fun making this!!

I started with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC83. Now, I always LOVE Mercy's sketches, but this week's was EXTRA fab in my opinion!!

I used the groovy new set from Taylored Expressions, Feelin' Groovy, and I stamped the rainbow in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers.

Using my Quickie Glue Pen, I added some glitter to the rainbow. I cut out and embossed the panel with Circle Nestabilities and layered it on two more circles. I also used Circle Nestabilities to cut out the Intense Kiwi Circle Panel, which I then ran through the Cuttlebug with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

ALL the cardstock, patterned paper (Feeling Groovy by Doodlebug Designs), brads and ribbon are from the That 70's Project Pantry Kit, also from Taylored Expressions. The Project Pantry Kits make card making SUPER easy! This card came together SO fast!

I finished this one off with two pink glitter brads and a bright pink polka dot ribbon that I created a bow from using the Bow Easy (this is a MUST have tool...like, for sure).

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!!

Here is a card I created using the darling Chloe The Coffee Mug Girl from Stamping Bella!!

I stamped Chloe in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and colored her with Copic Markers. I cut out and embossed the panel with Oval Nestabilities and then sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe. I layered it onto a panel of Classic Red cut from Oval Nestabilities.

The Frosted Teal panel in the background was run through the Cuttlebug with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The patterned paper is from Report Card by October Afternoon, and I sewed each layer on my sewing machine.

I added two Cherry Red American Crafts Brads to the angled panel and a Twill Ribbon to the top corner. I opted to leave off the sentiment as I am not sure yet what I want to use this little sweetie for!!

Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past Blog Hop!

** PLEASE CLICK HERE OR JUST SCROLL DOWN FOR MY AMBER INK POST! THANKS!!**

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Welcome to this month's Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past Blog Hop!!

For my card today, I used the sketch that Sankari designed for this month's hop! SUCH a fun sketch and one I will be using over and over!

I pulled out my much loved Sprinkled With Love set from Taylored Expressions and knew that I wanted my card to showcase the donut!! At CHA in January, all of the TE girls (and everyone that passed by the TE booth) fell in LOVE with this GORGEOUS card by Karen! Dawn and I were going to swipe it and pretend it was ours so we could submit it for publication! LOL!!

As you can see, I was greatly inspired by the way Karen decorated her middle donut. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored it with Copic Markers. I then gave it a coat of Adirondeck Espresso Pearls and added some little beads to replicate sprinkles.

All the patterned paper is from Fly A Kite by October Afternoon, and I ran each panel through the Cuttlebug with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder and the sewed each panel on my sewing machine. I stamped "everything is so much better" onto my focal panel, and then "with sprinkles" on the largest of the Tags Trio by Spellbinders. Both of these sentiments are also from Sprinkled With Love.

I created a bow out of some yummy ribbon using my Bow Easy and finished it off with a Cream Vintage Jenni Bowlin Button (LOVE these) with a little linen bow as well! Two brads (which I colored with Copic Markers) finish this one off.

Check out what the rest of the blog hoppers did today right here:

Amber Ink Grand Opening Blog Frolic!

Welcome to the Amber Ink. Grand Opening Blog Frolic! Today the Amber Ink. store officially opens its doors, and you are invited to hang out with us!

Amber invited me to join the celebration along with the Brilliant th(Ink)Tank Girls, and we're all excited to show you the new products. So get ready to drool!

For my card today, I used the SUPREMELY adorable Baby Mermaids set! Isn't she SO cute???

She is colored with Copic Markers and I cut her out and embossed the panel with Oval Nestabilities. I added some light sponging with Cool Caribbean while the panel was still in the Nestabilities, and her tail received a sprinkling of Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter.

The patterned paper is all from Imaginesce and it's the Splash Dance collection. I used last week's Sketch Challenge on SCS for the layout, SC289 and the border is from MFT's Die-Namics Open Scallop Die. I punched out the sentiment, "Can I Keep Him??" with my Word Window Punch and attached it under a teal bow I created with the Bow Easy.

Dream!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!!

Here is my card for today's challenge on the There She Goes Blog, TSG54, Polka Dots & Chipboard, brought to us by the Trendsetter of the Week, the AMAZING Lisa!

I started with Saturday's Sketch at The Sweet Stop, SSS65, and I stamped the duck from Polka Dot Pals from There She Goes twice in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock. I colored the duck with Copic Markers and cut it out and embossed the panel with Square Nestabilities. I framed it with Island Mist Light cut from Scallop Square Nestabilities. I sponged the edges of the focal panel with Memento Canteloupe.

The patterned paper is all from Fly A Kite by October Afternoon, and the two rows of polka dot scallops (which I ADORE!) are also from Polka Dot Pals! I stamped it twice in Memento Canteloupe onto Choice Buttercream, cut them out and then layered them. I also sewed each panel on my sewing machine.

The sentiment, "dream", also from Polka Dot Pals, was stamped directly onto the patterned paper and I added a bow of Twill Tape that created with the Bow Easy and I attached a fun button/chipboard flower combo to it as well.

We would LOVE you to play along with the challenge too! Create a card using Chipboard and Polka Dots and link your creation on this post HERE. One lucky participant will win a $5.00 Gift Certificate to the There She Goes Store!!

Do You Dare To Get Dirty?

Hi everyone!! Happy Sunday!!

Did you know that the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges have begun over at Splitcoaststampers? I LOVE DTGD!! There are TONS of challenges and you can do as many (or as few) as you would like!! Tons of Dirty Dozen Designers and Dirty Dozen Alumni (like me!) have participated and we hope you will too!

I was SO excited to create a sample for my sweet friend Kim's AWESOME sketch challenge from yesterday! Is she not a TOTAL rock star or what???

I had WAY to much fun with this sketch!! I started with some super fun papers (and my current obsession, if you didn't notice, LOL!) DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket. All of the colors on my card were pulled from the papers.

I stamped this sweet little gal from Birthday Princess from My Favorite Things in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar Classic White and colored her with Copic Markers. I used the striped pattern from DeLovely to paper piece her dress. Her Birthday crown got a dusting of Martha Stewart Glitter for a bit of sparkle.

I cut her out and embossed the panel with Circle Nestabilities which I layered over Scallop Circle Nestabilities cut from Classic Magenta cardstock. The sentiment, "Happy Birthday" is also from Birthday Princess, and I created little flag for it that I tucked under my flower and stitched to my card.

I LOVE the felt flower I created!!! LOVE it! LOL! I started with some Sun Felt from the Outdoor Essential Felt Collection from My Favorite Things and cut it with the Die-Namics Rolled Flower Die, also from MFT. These are SO simple to make! I rolled it up and popped a button in the center! I used some of the Sour Apple Felt, also from the Outdoor Essential Felt Collection for the leaves under my flower, which I just hand cut.

I used the same Sour Apple Felt along with the Die-Namics Jumbo Scallop Die to create my scalloped panels. All of the layers, including my scalloped panels, were sewn on my sewing machine.

I hope you all play along with the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges!! If you are not a member of the Fan Club, what are you waiting for? You can join right HERE!

Irrevocably, Unconditionally In Love With You!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!

Here is my card for today's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT), which is being sponsored by the fabulous Wildflower Patch!

Now, this may be shocking, but I used the DARLING Edward and Bella Digi Stamps from Wildflower Patch for my card today (grin!).

This card was so fun to make! I started by printing out Edward and Bella onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out and first adhered Edward to my square panel, and then popped Bella up on Foam Tape and put her right next to him.

Whenever I make a Twilight themed card, I either go with Red/Black/White or earth tones, today, I went with earth tones. I started with Kraft Cardstock and ran it though the Cuttlebug with the Distressed Stripes Embossing Folder. The patterned paper is from So Sophie by My Minds Eye and the sentiment, "Irrevocably, Unconditionally In Love With You" is from Fangs or Fur by Skipping Stones Design.

Check out what the AMAZING SFYTT sisters have done with this sketch right here!!

Sketchy Bellarific Friday!

Hi everyone! Happy Bellarific Friday!!

Today's Bellarific Friday Challenge is an AWESOME sketch challenge brought to us by the AMAZING Karen! What a FUN sketch...I had a blast with this!!

I started by stamping Partygirlabella from Stamping Bella (I think she may just be my favorite Bella!) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with Copic Markers. I cut around the balloons and then cut out and embossed the image with Circle Nestabilities. I added some Martha Stewart Glitter to all of the balloons.

The patterned paper is from DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket (LOVE this paper...can you believe I just got some?) and I LOVE the bright, fun colors! I used some matching, bright cardstock for the strips on the sketch, Intense Kiwi, Intense Yellow and Vibrant Teal.

I used Classic Magenta for both the card base and to layer my Bella panel. I stamped the sentiment, "put your party hat on!", also from Stamping Bella, directly onto my patterned paper. I finished this one off with three Hot Pink Brads in the top corner.

Make sure to head on over to Bloggabella and see all of the submissions for today's Bellarific Friday Challenge! Make sure to leave a comment on today's post...one lucky commenter will win Bella Bucks!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!

The July Key Ingredients Are Here!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Thursday!!

This is my most favorite time of the month...when the Baker's Dozen gets to share the newest (and FABULOUS) Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions!!

Oh my...I LOVE the July Key Ingredients! I know, I know...I am a broken record right? LOL! It's true though...I ADORE the Key Ingredients and the July KI is just as WONDERFUL as you would expect!

I created two cards with the July Key Ingredients for today, and they both share a theme...Glitter!!! The challenge for this month is to bling it up with glitter! FUN FUN and more FUN! One of my favorite things about the Key Ingredients is that I get to use papers and embellishments that I normally may not have been exposed to! The patterned paper in the July Key Ingredients is Paisley Parade by KI Memories and it is DELISH!

For my first card, I started with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC82. I started by stamping the bicycle, basket and flowers, all from the AWESOME new In The Park set by Taylored Expressions, in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock (this is the neutral cardstock included in the July Key Ingredients). I colored all of the images with Copic Markers and added Parisian Mist Glitter (from the July KI) on the bicycle frame as well as the flower centers using the Quickie Glue Pen, also included in the July KI (my FAV glue pen...ever!). The basket of flowers was cut out and popped up with Foam Tape.

I also added some more glitter on a cute little chipboard flower using my Quickie Glue Pen again and added a bow on top of it that I created using the Bow Easy. Do you have one yet? If not, you NEED one...believe me! I sewed each layer on my sewing machine and added the sentiment, also from In The Park, directly onto the patterned paper!

For my second card, I started with the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge, TESC120! I started by stamping the car from Feelin' Groovy (can I just tell you how much I ADORE this set?) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers.

The back layer of my card was stamped with the FABULOUS new Big Background stamp, Stitched Plaid, in Memento Rose Bud and I LOVE the look of it!

I covered another chipboard flower with glitter and tucked it behind my focal panel. The flowers on the card also got a touch of glitter as well!! stamped the sentiment, also from Feelin' Groovy, directly onto the main panel and once again, used my sewing machine on each layer!

Check out these members of the Baker's Dozen that have samples to share with you today using this AMAZING Key Ingredients!

Love You!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!!!

I have been seeing SO many stampers use denim in their creations, so of course, I wanted to try it too (aren't I SUCH a follower?). There were no jeans in my house that wanted to sacrifice themselves for a card, so I found some denim patches on my last trip to Michaels and I thought that they would do the trick!

The layout is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC77 from this past Sunday. LOVE this layout! As soon as I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use the darling Emma Blowing Kisses from My Favorite Things. I ADORE Emma and hope that Kim has more in store for us (please Kim?)

I started by stamping Emma in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers. I stamped her again, also in the Memento Tuxedo Black, onto the denim patch, and used it to piece her dress! Now she has a denim dress...LOVE it!

The patterned paper is from DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket and I embossed the Classic Magenta panel with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder. I then created (this is my favorite!!) layers of scalloped denim with my beloved Die-Namics Jumbo Scallop Die! SO fun!!

I added a Hot Pink Brad to each corner of my focal panel and the sentiment, "Love You", also from Emma Blowing Kisses, was attached to my focal image as a little tag!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Have A Happy Day!

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!!

Here is my card (a day late!!) for yesterday's challenge on the There She Goes Blog, TSG63, which is a GORGEOUS inspiration picture brought to us by the Trendsetter of the Week, Heather!

For my card today, I started with Saturday's Sketch Challenge at The Sweet Stop, SSS64! I knew when I saw the inspiration picture, that the new Summertime Project Pantry Kit was EXACTLY what I wanted to use! The colors in this patterned paper (Summertime by Echo Park Papers) were perfect for the inspiration!

I stamped the tree from one of my favorite There She Goes sets, Happy Day, three times. Once on Choice Snow White Cardstock and twice on the green gingham pattern of paper from the Summertime collection. I colored the tree trunk with Copic Markers and paper pieced the tree with the patterned paper. I then cut out some more leaves out of the patterned paper and popped a few up on Foam Tape for some dimension. The bird, also from Happy Day, was also stamped twice, colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped up (the wing is also popped up more) on Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment, "Have a Happy Day" directly onto the patterned paper, and I added some grass in front of my tree using Die-Namics Fresh Cut Grass Die. The border is the Die-Namics Open Scallop Die and I cut it out of Choice Snow White Cardstock. I added some SU! Whisper White Ribbon and called it done!!

We would LOVE you to play along with this week's challenge!! One lucky particpant will even win a $5.00 Gift Certificate to the There She Goes Store! WOOT!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

It's A Shoe Thing!

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday!!

I had a weekend full of "go, go, go!!" and didn't have any stampy time at all!!

Here is a card I made using a SUPER fun stamp from Stamping Bella, Shoebag! Totally cute right?

I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Paper and colored it with Copic Markers. I cut it out and embossed it with Square Nestabilities.

The patterned papers are from DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket, and I started out using a sketch from CPS, CPS175, but placed my focal image a bit too high.

The border was created with Die-Namics Open Scallop Die and I used some Melon Mambo Ribbon, but I turned it so you can't see the polka dots!!

I finished this off with one of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles on the shoe and some SU! Clear Rhinestone Brads in a row on the top corner. The sentiment, "It's A Shoe Thing" is also from Stamping Bella, and I attached it under my focal panel!

This week's Bellarific Friday is a sketch challenge created by the UBER talented (and a dear friend of mine!) Karen! Make sure to email your creation to Emily by Thursday evening to be entered for a chance to win Bella Bucks!!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!! I LOVE Saturdays...no work, an awesome SFYTT....can't get much better than that!!

I had so much fun making my card for today!! It's chock full of fab new Taylored Expressions goodies!!!

I started by stamping the bench from the brand new In The Park set from Taylored Expressions in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers.

ALL the cardstock and patterned paper on my card are from the AWESOME new Summertime Project Pantry Kit, also from Taylored Expressions. I ADORE this kit! The patterned paper is from Echo Park Papers and it's my new favorite! All the layers were sewn on my sewing machine.

The sentiment, "Just sittin' here thinking of you" is also from In The Park and I created a little tag for it. I attached it to my card along with a fun flower I created with a Cuttlebug Flower Die using the same Echo Park Papers. I added a button to the center and also two buttons to the side, which were from my stash.

Huggabugg Bellarific Friday!

Hi everyone!! Happy Bellarific Friday!!!


Today's Bellarific Friday is to use those DARLING Huggabugg stamps from Stamping Bella!! I LOVE this line of stamps and couldn't wait to create my card!!

For my card today, I used the SUPER adorable Lovey Huggabugg!! I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with Copic Markers.

I cut out and embossed the panel with Circle Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Cool Caribbean ink. I added some Crystal Stickles to her wings to make her shine a bit!!

The sentiment, "Love Bug", comes with Lovey Huggabugg, and I stamped it so the words were on top of each other instead of side by side. I cut it out and embossed it again with Circle Nestabilities and layered it with Scallop Circle Nestabilities.

My Razzleberry Light and Frosted Teal panels were run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and the patterned paper is from Doodlebug Designs, Feeling Groovy. I finished this one off with two White Brads in each corner and some yummy satin ribbon!!

Make sure to head on over to Bloggabella and leave a comment on today's Bellarific Friday post! One lucky commenter will win Bella Bucks!
