Hand Stamped Sentiments #96 - color challenge


This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments, we are asking you lovely crafters to create any card, 3D project or scrapbook page using all or some of the colors listed below: 
Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Pear Pizazz and Real Red



I started off with a piece of Blushing Bride card stock and instead of a regular fold, I decided to try a trifold card...therefore the front of my card is only adhered to the left fold, so the card can be opened. Truthfully, I was pretty stumped when I saw the colors but as I perused my stamps, I spotted these little shoes and knew it would work! Of course this set wouldn't be complete without a curtain, so I fashioned a paper one out of a piece of Pool Party DSP. After running it through my crimper a few times I continued to roll the paper in my hands to break the fibers a bit, to make it more forgiving when I was adhering it to my cardstock. Sticky Strip works wonders for pleats and other items you don't want falling off of your card. I should really take stock in the company since I go through so much of it, haha!


I sponged the Pear Pizzazz platform with the same colored ink to give it more of a stomped on look and of course you can't give a graduate a card without tucking a little congratulatory gift inside, so a wee little pocket for money, a gift card or BOTH!


Head on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments to see what the Design Team has whipped up for you and link up to this week's post... We can't wait to see your lovely creations!

Happy Bean Birthday


I have to say that I LOVE making Birthday cards, especially when I can imagine the recipient opening their mailbox and finding one of my creations inside, instead of a boring old bill...which comes, regularly like Birthday's, no matter if we like them or not. Hopefully, this little latte sippin' lady will put a smile to a certain someone's face this month, as she celebrates another fabulous year! 


This week over at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Blog, they are warming up to fall with this lovely color pallet of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie & Night of Navy
&
the sketch for my card came from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Blog


A lovely brown box was dropped off on my front porch yesterday and I was able to try out my NEW Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder with the Happy Birthday sentiment, FUN STUFF, I tell ya! 

 How cute is she in her white jeans and polka dotted blue top?

A sweet little treat tucked inside!
