TST#110 Last of the Green

I promise this will  be the last of the green cards for this month.  As I stated earlier this month March is just a Green month, but enough already.

Mynnette has given us another great sketch to work with this week over at Try Stampin on Tuesday and I know that there will be endless possibilities for this one.

 

 As soon as I saw this sketch I thought Girlie-Girl card.  Ribbon, lace, etc so that is what I decided to go with. 

 

I didn't have any lace on me but I did have a die from Spellbinders called Lattice and I decided to go with that.  I layered the die onto the DSP and cut it out.  Then using the Labels Five I die cut one that was just a slightly big bigger that the opening that I had created.  This would be used to mount the DSP which I had already cut onto.

After getting my bow just right, which rarely happens I added a little more bling with beads.  I used wire instead of pins to mount the beads to.


I hope that you like what I have come up with.  Now it's your turn.  Hop on over to Try Stampin and see what the other great Designers have in store for you.  I'm sure you will have endless possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by.

Same DSP...Two Different Outcomes!

I have had a little more time these days to play with my stamps so I hope that over the next few weeks I will be able to share more cards with you.

First I started with my sketch over at Try Stampin on Tuesday for the Sketch 103 challenge. Then with the paper that I have left over from that sketch I decided to play around with another option for the same papers.

This was the card for my Try Stampin Challenge.

This was my scraps creation.  

By using the scraps from the first card in a different colour scheme it gave a totally different look to both the colours and appearance of the card.  

 

I hope that you like what I have done with the same papers, but differently.  Don't forget to check out the Try Stampin site and see the other great cards.  Or just give what I have done a try.  Use the same papers, but make a totally different card.

Thanks for stopping by.

MojoMonday meets The Dynamic Duos

So I am a little partial to the colour red, if you look at my blog picture you will see that I have a red accent in the front of my hair.  This red has been with me now for about seven years and was first created by my daughter.  Over the past year at work I have noticed that it is catching on and now several fellow staff members are sporting a red accent in various parts of their hair as well.  So needless to say when I saw this weeks challenge over at The Dynamic Duos I just knew I had to find a sketch challenge to go along with the challenge colours, so enter Mojo Monday. 

I needed a birthday card for a friend and fellow coworker who moved away last year so I thought the sentiment that I used for the card front was very appropriate.

I hope that you like what I have come up with for both of these great challenge sites.

Thanks for dropping by.

Showers of Happiness

                                                                                    

I had a special request from a co-worker for a shower card so here is my attempt at a quick and easy card.

Starting with a piece of CS that I had used to cut out one of the Labels Five Nestabilities I used the other half of the cut out as my card front.  This is adhered to a piece pink DSP.  The umbrella image from Rue Des Fleur was stamped onto the DSP and then I stamped a second image on a piece of white CS.  Then I cut out the top portion of the umbrella and popped it up with dimensionals.  The different points of the umbrella ends were accented with jewels and the handle was accented with a small bow.

The sentiment was stamped using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.  I stamped the "happiness" first and then centred my "wishing you" ver the centre of that.

Simple and quick.

Hope you enjoy.

Picture Inspired

I had seen a picture in a store and loved the way it was mounted in layers in the frame.  I couldn't wait to get home to give it a try and this is what I came up with.

First I needed a center point, Fleur de Lis to the rescue.  Then using the Spellbinder Nestabilities Label Five I cut out three layers.  The layers that I cut out I saved and used on the inside of the card.

Then I had problems with the bottom of the card.  I loved the top and got stuck on the bottom.  Then I thought if I had the right lace it might work.  So I used a strip of the paper that I had used for the top cut outs and after it was punched I ran it through the crimper twice to break up the fibers and make it more pliable.  Sticky strip was used to adhere the paper lace to the bottom and topped it off with a satin ribbon.

Hope you enjoy!

If You Want to Be Happy, Be!

 
This card originally started out as a card for my Brother and his new Wife, but then I changed my mind when I found a saying that was more appropriate for the occasion.

I started with a plain piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped it with the French Script background stamp.  Then using Elements of Style of stamped the flowers twice. Then I sponged the edges of the card and flowers to give it a more weathered look.  

My new found love of the Spellbinders Nestabilities encouraged me to use two different sizes to create the sentiment focus and then finished it all off with a bow and hat pin.
 
The card that I did end up giving them was made at the last minute as we were going out the door.  In fact I almost forgot to photograph it.  

Still using the purple tones I die cut one of the Labels Five in Whisper White and used the Muscial Notes stamp to stamp over it.  Then using the Labels Five in a smaller size I die cut a hole in the oiginal one on a diagonal and stamped the inside with All Around Quotes.  I used the portion that was die cut out and turned it over and used it inside the card with the unstamped side out.  Finished the card off with a hat pin and bow.

Hope you enjoy!
