Label Me Pretty Delightful for #tttc008

I played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge today.  Make sure to head over and play along!  For this challenge, the board was created by Design Team Member Susan Itell.  Take some inspiration from the challenge board below, using three elements in a row of your choice. Whatever row inspires you is what you are challenged to create! 
I chose the trio down the center of the board using the Yellow, Linen Thread, and Feminine theme.  I made an easel card out of Daffodil Delight card stock.  It is fun to make something a bit different now and again.  It super easy to do. 
  • You would cut a piece of 8-1/2" by 11" card stock in half, making a piece that is 4-1/4" by 11".
  • Then you score at 2-3/4" and then score again at 5-1/2". 
  • Then you can bend at the 5-1/2" score and then bend again at the 2-3/4 score to add your card front.
I used a floral piece of Delightful Daisy Design Series Paper and embossed it with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder.  Then I sponged around the edges with Old Olive ink and very lightly over the leaves in the white areas of the ds paper. 
The sentiment comes from the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set and is punched out using the 1-1/4" circle punch, then layered over a daffodil delight 1-3/8" circle punch. 
The background was stamped in old olive ink and then I added a little daffodil delight on the butterflies using my stampin' write marker. I love how you can also use the coordinating Label Punch with this stamp set.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Grown With Love for #GDP097

Today I am playing along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP097This week is a really fun color challenge. Here are those beautiful colors for this week's challenge:
To play along, head over to the Global Design Project and see what the design team came up with this week. 
For today's project I used the Grown with Love Stamp Set and coordinating Garden Grown Framelits.  I have to admit this was not on my list at first, but boy am I glad I added it to my list.  I love how easy it is to crop out the flowers to overlay on the die cut bunches.  And those sweet little plant pots, how cute are they?
I used the Pinewood Plank embossing folder for the background texture.  The bottom sentiment was stamped using my Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write Marker and then punched out using the Classic Label Punch and layered over the Bunch of Banners Framelits cut in both Berry Burst and Wild Wasabi.  I added some glittery Clear Wink of Stella and a few rhinestones to give my flowers that extra sparkle.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products I used for this card.

Happy Mail Monday!

It's Happy Mail Monday!  I love sharing with you the beautiful cards I receive each week.  I cannot tell you how blessed I feel to open my mailbox and see these hand made cards.  I love reading each one.  Thanks for stopping by today :)
I have another special card that I want to share with you.  This is the very first card I ever made.  It was at a Stampin' Up! club and I was super intimidated to be making a card, much less one this detailed.  None the less, I think it turned out okay and I cannot tell you how thankful I am that I found this wonderful hobby.  I truly am grateful to be able to share the joy of stamping with all of you.

Number of Years & Counting...

I had a special card request for someone who was turning 95!!!  This is a rare occasion, so I made a special card just for them :)  I pulled out the Number of Years stamp set and Large Numbers Framelits.  The colors are Tranquil Tide, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso.
I love the Wood Textures Design Series Pack!  Those 6 by 6 inch pages are double sided with woodland wonder.  This is the perfect design series paper for making guy's cards.  Here are all of the Stampin' Up! items I used for todays card.

Coffee Cafe' for #GDP096

Today I am playing along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP096This week we are CASEing a gorgeous project by Tanja Kolar, an oh-so-talented member of the Global Design Team. Here is the project this week that you can CASE:
CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit Remember that when you CASE a project you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set - the colors, the layout, the flowers, whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own. To play along, head over to the Global Design Project and see what the design team came up with this week. 
I chose to case the layout of Tanya's card using the Coffee Café stamp set and coordinating Coffee Cups Framelits.  This was one of my absolute favorite items in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog!!!   I love how the coffee cups in the Coffee Break DS Paper cut out perfectly using the framelits dies.
This embossing folder in the background was a gift I received from someone who happens to know how much I love all things coffee.  It turned out so cute as the white on white background of this card.  It definitely makes me want to make a Starbucks run :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products I used for this card.
