its your BIG day

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day to you – hope you’re having a fabulous week so far! Things are pretty darn peachy here! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge has launched over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #62 – September Anything Goes! I created a sweet birthday card using some fun brads and a super fun die set that I haven’t used in a couple years. I’m trying to go through my humongous die collection and use some that haven’t been used in a while, or in some cases, have never been used at all, lol!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, along with a black and white gingham paper layer for the front and narrow strips cut from CutCardStock Basis Pink cardstock for the sides. I adhered a stitched oval die cut to the center of the panel cut from CutCardStock Basis Pink cardstock and stamped the sentiment vertically on the left side in black ink. I created the dress from the same black and white gingham paper and CutCardStock Basis Pink cardstock, added tiny black gemstones to the bodice, and adhered it to the center of the oval die cut I added the shoes and purse brads, a white heart brad, and several black gemstones on the sides of the oval, and adhered the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the black and white gingham paper and CutCardStock Basis Pink cardstock, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and layered the panel on the pink cardstock.

And one more look… totally loving the black and white with pink which is such a pretty color combo! And that dress! ;)

Hi everyone! How’s the weather where you are? We’re in Colorado and our days are getting warmer but haven’t gotten too hot yet! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m tickled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #146 – No Rulz 4! This is the fourth year in a row that we’ve hosted a ‘no rules’ challenge where our participants don’t have to follow ANY rules! We don’t have many rules anyway, but it’s fun to allow everybody to let their hair down, lol! I created a birthday card and actually busted out another NBUS (never before used schtuff) rubber stamp that I’ve owned for at least 5 years, maybe longer, and had never even pulled the backing off the cling! Sure glad I did because this little fairy is the absolute cutest! ;)

I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock and dotted and striped panels to create the background, and then applied a strip of glitter washi tape at the seam. I stamped Sweetie on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in black ink and colored her skin with alcohol markers and the rest of the image with Karin Brushmarkers. OMGoodness, these brushmarkers are dreamy and I LOVE the way they color! I’m going to learn to watercolor with them next! I cut the image with a stitched mini scallop die and adhered it to a flourish cut from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock, cutting the right side off so it was even with the layers. I stamped the sentiment in teal ink at the bottom and added three small iridescent gemstones for a little interest.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover pieces of the dotted and striped paper used on the front, stamped the sentiment in teal ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock.

And one more look… totally smitten with this design! And such a super cute image!

its your BIG day

Hi everyone! I’m back with one more project I created last Thursday for The Outlawz Challenges! That was the day that I set a record in my studio – ten cards in one day. I finished two that I had already started and then created eight more. Several were for The Outlawz, several were for two guest gigs coming up and several were with new products for another design team I’m on. Definitely a busy and productive day for sure! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This card is for the Twisted Thursdays Challenge where Fabrika Fantasy is our sponsor. The challenges are always Anything Goes with an optional twist. This time the twist is Glitter! I used loose glitter, glitter paper and glitter washi tape for this birthday card!

This card features the Cottage Cutz Sweet Fairy die set. It has a gazillion pieces so I die cut them all from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and colored them individually with alcohol markers. It brought back childhood memories of coloring my paper doll clothes back in the day! The little fairy was created first and set aside. I used loose glitter on her wings. ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base along with a white layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and dotted and striped silver foil vellum panels which I adhered to the layering panel. I added a strip of red glitter washi tape to the seam and then adhered the panel to the card base. I punched several 1/2″ circles from Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and adhered them over top of the foiled dots in random places. I adhered the fairy on foam dimensionals and added a sentiment stamped in navy blue ink to pull in the color of her dress. The final touch was adding tiny iridescent gemstones to the stars on the sentiment strip and larger iridescent gemstones on several of the foiled dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and embellished it with a wide strip of the striped silver foil vellum and a strip of red glitter washi tape, stamped the sentiment in navy blue ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Red Wagon cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! It’ll be set aside for a very special granddaughter’s birthday later this year! ;)
