Crochet and Bling

Good morning!  Hope you are having a great week!  

I played in The Shabby Tea Room challenge this week to use your favorite papers and embellishments!  I love K&Co designer papers and of course I love those pearls and bling swirls!  So this is what I came up with.  The designer paper is from K&Co Watercolor Bouquet pack.  It has touches of glitter on the design.  I decided to stamp the Crochet Background from Our Daily Bread designs on the entire background and I like how it turned out!  The little bits of flowers and glitter show through in an interesting way.  The sentiment is called Each Minute and is stamped in brown and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The pearl and bling swirls are by Recollections.  I usually cut these swirls down to a more manageable size and use the smaller pieces to accent on other cards.  What you see here was actually one long swirl that I cut into three pieces.  Well, really four, that long tail to the right was rearranged to make it look like it came from that same swirl!  The three larger clear rhinestones are from my stash that no longer has the original packaging.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Enjoy your week!

Midnight Madness, Doodling and Absolutely No White

Good morning to you, good morning to you, good morning dear friends, good morning to you!

I have met three challenges with my card today!  WooHoo!

MMSC109-Sketch

SSCC94-Doodling

WT328-No white card stock

I am still lovin' this new stamp from Our Daily Bread designs with the Jim Croce lyrics!  I stamped it on one side of designer paper (it was in my scrap pile so I can't remember if it is Anna Griffin or K&Co) and the other side is my background paper.  It is pink and cream, so I used a little scrap of Neenah cream for that one little swirl to the side.  The base card and little flowers are Blush Blossom.  I have only a few little scraps left of Blush Blossom and I am going to miss it terribly!  To comply with the great Midnight Madness sketch, I used strips of lace behind the ovals.  And for the Stampin' Sisters challenge, I doodled around the ovals with my Pretty in Pink marker.  And since I was in the doodling mood, I did some embellishment doodling too, with tons of pearls and Martha flowers and a Martha butterfly!  I also sprayed the final card with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist!  Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

A Blessing from God

 

Hope you are having a great week!  Here is my card for this week's Passionately Artistic Be Inspired Wednesday!  We are still using the theme of summer and what is more summery than a beautiful butterfly?  This card is kind of clean and simple for me huh?  The sentiment is a new stamp from Our Daily Bread designs called Each Minute.  The Oval and Lacey oval are Spellbinders dies and I used my Spellbinders Grand Calibur to cut them out.  The butterfly is also from Our Daily Bread designs.  It is stamped onto Core'dinations and cut out with the coordinating die.  The Core'dinations card stock background is embossed with Cuttlebug's Kassie's Brocade embossing folder.  I added vintage lace and beautiful black rhinestones from Want2Scrap.  That's it!  Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon!!!

Kind Words are the Flowers

Hi everyone!  Here is another card with a new stamp from Our Daily Bread designs called Kind Hearts!  Such a great sentiment to use for a special thank you!  The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug Victoria folder.  The lace is vintage (love my vintage lace, courtesy of Mom!).  I punched all those little flowers with a SU! punch and smooshed them into a piece of foam with a stylus to make them perk up!  LOL!  

These are all glued to a Spellbinders Lacey Rectangle surrounding the sentiment.  I added pink stickles to each flower center.  The bow was made with a Bow Easy and I added little Martha twigs behind the bow!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a great night! 

For Eternity

 

Hi there!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  

I've got another card to share with one of the new stamps available this month from Our Daily Bread designs.  It is called Save Time and I love it!  I used to sing this song by Jim Croce over and over!  It is a classic!  A couple of things to note on this card, the swirls accents on either side of the frame are from the Spellbinders Floral Accents die set.  I hid the flower portion of the die cut under the lace and added the pink fuzzy brads over it.  The brads were 'smushed' into a Sahara Sand ink pad to dirty them up a little because they were a tad too pink!  I used pink pearls and white pearls.  And the whole card was spritzed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist!  Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great week!

Fit for a Princess

Hi there!  Hope you have enjoyed your Sunday!  I am trying to get some needed cards made up and I have one to show you!  A very special someone in my life is having a birthday this week and I made this for her!!!  I think she will like this, as it's a little bit grown up but has that young princess feel too.  I am entering this into the Shabby Tea Room challenge this week to use embossing.  I cut the card shape and centers with Spellbinders Blossom Three, Classic Circle and Scallop Circle dies and my Grand Calibur machine.  The main blossom is embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The birthday sentiment is from the Mini Tags Three set from Our Daily Bread designs.  I used an EKSuccess punch to create the strip behind the center and added SU! seam binding.  Then I added a Bow Easy bow, tons of pearls and three little Martha butterflies.  To finish it of I sprayed it with Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Mist!  Hope your week is blessed!  Thanks for stopping by!
