Let's Celebrate



I don't always get a chance to play along in the FS challenge on SCS, but man-oh-man, I love when I do!....especially when I see cute little cards like this one from Debbie, today's FS! I've never made a Labels One folded card, loved how she placed the images in the corners, and loved her colors so I kept all that the same. I just changed the stamps to my Impression Obsession Celebrate set and used some black gingham ribbon (only because I didn't have red...why don't I have red gingham??....I need to get some). I added a bunch of Gold and Candy Cane Stickles to the stars. The images were stamped in black Versafine ink and colored with Prisma pencils. The Lemon Tart panel is up on foam tape.



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an awesome Sunday!

CASE'ing LeAnne!

My fellow PA stamping friend LeAnne was picked as Sunday's Featured Stamper and I couldn't wait to CASE her. CONGRATULATIONS, LeAnne!



I chose to CASE her CAS26 Gingham Flower card....what an awesome CAS layout and I love how she paired a large flower with the gingham panel. For my card I used a bloom from my OCL Pretty Petals set and sentiment from Say It with Flowers. The bloom was stamped in Memento Black and colored with copics, I added some Fruit Punch Stickles around the edges, and popped it up on foam tape. The plaid scalloped square behind the bloom was cut from my Report Card DP and it's also up on foam tape.

Thanks for the inspiration, LeAnne! It was so fun to CASE you. You are bloomin' fabulous, girl!

As soon as I saw the CTD colors this week, I jumped on making this card. These are SOOOO right up my alley. Love them together! I used my OCL Whale of a Tale set. She's stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with copics, I added some freckles on her cheeks with a white gel pen, and added Stickles to her spots and in the center of the flower. The saffron circle and cool caribbean scallop circle are both up on foam tape. The stitches were done with a piercing tool, SU mat pack, and some white waxed linen thread that I colored with my YR04 Copic. I used Mercy's sketch #77 again...love it!

Hope



Hi all! While my daughter was eating breakfast this morning, I made this card for the CAS-tastic challenge (focus on sentiments) and Friday's Fall-to Layout 92. Whenever I hear about putting focus on sentiments, I think of JustRite stamps so I pulled out my Hope set from Stamper's Dream. Both labels one nestie panels and the large swiss dot panel are all up on separate layers of foam tape. All edges were sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and the plaid ribbon is by May Arts.

Have a fantastic day!
