Just For Fun August Challenge

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I am showing you a card that I made with one of my favorite Just For Fun stamps! Isn't this sweet little girl cute?

The theme for the challenge is stripes. On the purple background I stamped the 2 sided background round frame on it first and then ran it through a striped embossing folder. I stamped the Dream Girl on white card stock, colored her with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and cut her out with the Gina Marie Stitched Oval die. I paper pieced her dress using striped patterned paper. I added die cut flowers and a bow. The saying is from the Sentments 1 unmounted sheet.

Now it is time for you to join the challenge! We would love to see what you create. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Pretty Poppy

Hi, I hope you are having a good day. I want to show you a card I made with this pretty poppy stamp from Just For Fun called Gathering Pollen. I tried growing some poppy anemones this Spring, but they did not do well. I think poppies are so pretty with their bright red color.

For this card I used a Marianne embossing folder, that also cut out some areas, to make a frame for the poppy. I adhered it to black card stock and then to the white card base. The poppy and bee were colored using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

You still have a few days to join the challenge. The challenge is to use red, white and blue colors. We hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Shabby Chic #14

Hi and welcome to my blog! Today I am showing another shabby chic card using bits and pieces from my stash.

I found the lamp stamp in a bag of images that came from a swap that I was in a few years ago! The stamp is unknown. I colored it with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and placed it in the frame that was cut using the Memory Box Botanical Frame die. I placed the frame on top of a torn page that came from an old book. The edges were sponged using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I used a large round punch for the Sparkle N Sprinkle saying. Buttons, ribbon and lace were added for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Butterfly Kisses

Hi! I hope you are having a good day. I was playing with string art recently and on this card the string art came out looking like a Gladiolus flower, so I used the Colorblock Butterfly from Just For Fun and added it to the card. I stamped it using watercolor markers and then fussy cut it. The saying is from the Sentiments 3 unmounted sheet. I stamped it on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag die.

We have a fun challenge going on and this month and the theme is to use red, white and blue colors on your project. I hope you will join in and you might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Shabby Chic #13

Hello! I hope you are enjoying your day. I am back with another shabby chic card. For some reason I had a hard time getting this one together. I found the Spellbinders background die (Bow Elegance) in one of my bags that had already been cut out. I adhered it to white glitter card stock. I stamped the flower (by Recollections) onto another Spellbinders die, colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, and pop dotted it to the center of the card. I added the Memory Box Fresh Foliage and Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly dies for embellishments. Ribbon and pearls were also added.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a blessed day!
