I saw these gorgeous Lifetime of Love dies in the new Mini Catalog, and knew that I just had to have them! And, since it's time to make "love" cards, I thought now was a great time to use them! I paired the oval in Gold Foil with some of our gorgeous FREE, SAB Most Adored DSP, with the gold pattern. We will be doing this card in class next week! Measurements: Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (insert) Most Adored DSP SAB (N): 4" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 5 1/2", one, fussy cut flower Gold Foil: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" Vellum: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" To Make This Card: Attach DSP to folded White card. Die cut "floral oval" from Gold Foil piece. Remove center and pieces from leaves/flowers. Die cut another "floral oval" from White. Remove the same pieces, but KEEP the center! Attach Gold "oval" to Vellum piece with Multipurpose Glue. Add White center, too. Next, emboss sentiment of your choice in Gold Embossing Powder. Now, add adhesive to back of Vellum piece only where you can see the layers. Attach to front of card. FInish front with gold bow, and scattered Brass Butterflies. For the inside, I adhered a strip of DSP. I then found a flower on the DSP, and colored it with Blends, and then fussy cut it out! I thought this was a neat use of the DSP. I attached the flower to the inside of the card, over the decorative strip!

Hello Stampin' friends! Just popping on here quickly tonight to share the card I made for the My Favorite Things Stamps - Wednesday Stamp Club # 181! Here is the great sketch that I used - MFTWSC181 I have been neglecting my Pure Innocence girls...so it was time to make a PI card. This little cutie Pure Innocence Love Is In The Air hadn't seen ink yet. I coloured her up with my Copics and paper pieced her dress, cut her out and popped her up on the circle panel. I made the card with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Wild Cherry, Nightshift Blue, Cotton Candy and Sweet Tooth. The cute pattern paper is Pink Paislie Pen Pals 6X6 collection. I added a few flowers with the flower Die-namics from Blueprints 12 and Pretty Posies Die-namics and stamped a sentiment in Nightshift Blue Premium Dye ink on a tag cut from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and tied with some Navy AC Hemp cord. I added a few white Gumdrops to the centers of the flowers. I finished off the inside of the card too...I stamped a shadow image of the PI Love Is In The Air girl in Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink and stamped another sentiment in Nightshift Premium Dye Ink. Thanks for stopping by and havin' a little look at the card I made for the MFTWSC181 sketch challenge!

Happy Sunday, friends! Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players! This week, LeAnne is our host for a fabulous Sketch Challenge. Hooray for Sketch Challenge week! These are always my favorite. LeAnne has whipped up a fun layout and I just loved seeing what everyone on the design team did with it. There are lots of possibilities, that’s for sure! I hope you will join us and share your creation this week. *I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post. Color Combo: Soft Suede Cajun Craze Crushed Curry Crumb Cake When I sat down to create with this sketch, I was immediately drawn to a stamp set that I recently ordered: Forever Friendship. This is just a super-cute little set and I knew it would be on my must have list as soon as I saw that “Time for a Card-Again” sentiment. I always love a good pun! :) I knew I wanted to make a masculine birthday card for this challenge because I never seem to have enough when I need them. Next came the search for some patterned paper to help me select my color combo. I decided to use the He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper because I love how the patterns kind of play off the texture in the cardigan. I had to chuckle as this card features three of my least favorite colors: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. Oddly enough, they seem to play really well together so I guess there might be some hope for them after all. Haha! For a finishing detail, I popped on some Resin Stars Embellishments which just recently retired. It’s fun to dig around in the retired stash sometimes. You just never know what you will find in there! Card Measurements & Details: Soft Suede Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” Basic White Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (Crumb Cake pattern): 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (Cajun Craze pattern): 1-1/2” x 4-5/8”, trim a banner end either with scissors or a banner punch Vellum Cardstock: die cut a 2-1/2“ circle using Stylish Shapes Dies Basic White Cardstock: scrap to stamp cardigan image and two flag images in Momento Ink, color with Stampin’ Blends (Crumb Cake light/dark, Cajun Craze light, Daffodil Delight dark) & fussy-cut Basic White Cardstock: scrap to stamp sentiment in Momento Ink then die cut using the banner from Stylish Shapes Dies Resin Stars Embellishments are recently retired, but substituting another embellishment would also work just as well Basic White Cardstock (inside card): 4” x 5-1/4” He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (Cajun Craze pattern, inside card): 4” x 3/4” Here is a peek inside the card! I simply added a strip of the DSP along with some stamping to keep the party going from the front of the card. I really like how this one came together and I hope you do as well! I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Sketch Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with!

Happy Friday friends! It's Just Add Ink challenge time and for this one Di has provided a great sketch to get us started. The Timeless Arrangement bundle was my go to for this one and this is my very first play with it and l'm in love! It's so pretty and has loads of elements in stamps and dies, so very easy to create with. To start with, l stamped the little circles roughly in the shape of the two circle elements in the sketch and added some soft shading in Soft Seafoam using blending brushes. Using various foliage colours Mossy Meadow-Old Olive-Granny Apple Green-Soft Seafoam, l diecut a heap of bits, then stamped and coloured the flower images with Stampin Blends in Bubble Bath-Lemon Lolly-Mossy Meadow. I then just started layering in rough circles to emulate the sketch and finished off with a greeting from the Artistically Inked stamp set & some Basic Rhinestones. Lots of fabulous sketch inspiration from the team, so make sure you click the link if you haven't already. Thanks for stopping by! All supplies used are Stampin Up!
