You Make My Heart Spin!

Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday!!

I had some stampy time this week (thanks for having the girls over Mom!) and was able to create a card for this week's TCP Tuesday Challenge, TCPTUES153!  I must admit, I don't think I would have put these colors together on my own, but I love how they look together!!

My most recent order of swanky-ness from The Cat's Pajamas arrived last week and I could NOT wait to ink up the ADORABLE What A Blast set!  How CUTE is PJ holding the pinwheel?  LOVE him!  I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch from last Sunday, SSSC111 for the layout and all of the patterned paper is from Little Girl from Echo Park Papers.  These papers were PERFECT for this color challenge!

PJ was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X Press It Blending Card, colored with Copic Markers and then cut out.  The Kraft panel that he is on was embossed the the Seeing Spots Embossing Folder.  The fab scallop circle under the orange panel was created with the new Die-Namics Open Scallop Doily, which I ADORE.

Speaking of things I adore, how DARLING is the pinwheel?  I created it with the Pinwheels Cutup...LOVE it!  It was SO easy to put together!   Tons of machine stitching and some white brads adorn this one, and I created a little flag for the adorable sentiment, "You make my heart spin".  Too cute!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!

Hello Gorgeous!

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday!!

My recent order from The Cat's Pajamas arrived and I had a chance to get a bit inky this weekend! I thought I'd try my hand at the color challenge from last week's TCP Tuesday!

I have to admit, I could NOT wait to ink up this ADORABLE penguin from the new Got Love set. He is SO super cute, and fun to color too! I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored him with Copic Markers. I added some crystal glitter to the hearts, which were "out of the box" when I cut and embossed my panel with Circle Nestabilities.

The patterned paper is Circa 1934 from Cosmo Cricket and I added a border with the Die-Namics Jumbo Ric Rac Die from My Favorite Things. The sentiment, "Hello Gorgeous", also from Got Love, was anchored with two hearts cut from the Die-Namics Hearts A Plenty Die, also from My Favorite Things. A bit of bakers twine and some black Taylor's Tiny Twinkles finish this one off!

Thanks SO much for stopping by! I will be adding this cutie to my Etsy Store!

A Beary Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday!

Here is a card I made for this week's TCP Tuesday at The Cat's Pajamas! I was SO inspired by the rainbow of colors in the inspiration picture, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use the 72 & Sunny papers from We R Memory Keepers!!

For my card, I used one of my favorite sets from The Cat's Pajamas, A Beary Good Year! I LOVE how you can customize PJ for any occassion and holiday...so fun!!

I stamped PJ, the cake, the present and party hat in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored them all with Copic Markers. I then cut each one out and placed PJ over a circle cut from Circle Nestabilities out of Intense Orange which I embossed with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

I kept the layout fairly simple, and I stamped the sentiment, "Have a Beary Happy Birthday" directly onto the patterned paper. I used the Die-Namics Open Scallop Die from My Favorite Things to create the border and adorned it with some of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles. My simple red grosgrain bow was created with the Bow Easy.

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Drinking Of You!

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday!!

Here is a card I made for TCP Tuesday 121 over at Dancing At Pajamas (yes...I know it's Sunday...lol!!). What a FAB color challenge of Denim, Kraft & Red Carole and Joanne came up with!!

For my card, I used the new Toni's Tea Set from The Cat's Pajamas! I stamped the tea cup in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and then again in two different patterns of the new Togetherness by Cosmo Cricket. This is fast becoming my new favorite paper...I think I better get another mini deck!!

I used more of the patterns from Togetherness for my card and I sponged the edges with Memento Potter's Clay to age them a bit. All of the layers were sewn on my sewing machine.

I cut a piece of Kraft with Circle Nestabilities and then embossed it with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder. I then attached my paper pieced tea cup to the circle panel and then stamped the steam from Toni's Tea Set on top. I added some Glossy Accents to the "tea" part of the tea cup.

The sentiment CRACKS me up..."drinking of you" and I created a tag and attached it to the card along with a double flower that I cut from Flower Buttons Cut-Ups and I added a red button and some vanilla thread from my stash.

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
