You’re Pretty Sweet!

Today, I’m sharing a “just because” card combining a Hero Arts sentiment with a basket of strawberries created with Impression Obsession dies.

Pretty Sweet

I used my MISTI to center the sentiment on the patterned paper so that it would line up with the notebook paper lines. At first I had the carton adhered to the patterned paper without foam, but it looked “flat” so I pulled apart of carton and added foam. I positioned the strawberries several times before getting the basket to look right.

Hope your week is off to a great start! Hard to believe it’s almost June!

Happy 4th of July – TE Share Joy Challenge #37

I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #37.

TE Share Joy Challenge #37

I used the sketch to create a summer-themed, July 4th card.

TE Share Joy Challenge #37

I used the Marching On die to cut out the children and dog, using only a portion of the silhouette. I attached the silhouette to a square, which I cut with a die in the Stitched Square Stacklets set, after stamping it with a sentiment from the Patriotic Pals Stamp & Die Combo set. I attached the scene to a card panel dry embossed with the Fireworks folder.

The Card Concept #56

Today, I’m sharing a card created for The Card Concept #56 – Sweet Tea.

CardConcept56

My card features a Clean & Layered style using Taylored Expressions stamps and dies.

TE Little Bits - Teacups

I was inspired by the feminine feel of the inspiration image, such as the flutes on the cups, as well as the colors. I used Little Bits – Teacups to cut the teacups (embellished with Rainbow Brights Flowers sequins), which I put against a background cut with a die in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set and dry-embossed with the Paisley folder. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Some Like It Hot set (which with its cursive and leaf/heart illustration plays into the feminine and frilly look). I finished the card front with a banner cut with one of the dies in the Skinny Mini Valentine Borders set. The smaller hearts were cut with one of the other dies in the Skinny Mini Valentine Borders set and the biggest one with the Little Bits – Love Confetti set.

Taylored Expressions – Thermo O Web Collaboration

DecoFoilGraphicToday, I’m sharing projects created with Taylored Expressions and Therm O Web products. Taylored Expressions is partnering with Therm O Web all week to share cards and inspiration. You’ll want to visit both blogs for a chance to win amazing prizes! TE will be giving away a Deco Foil prize pack and Therm O Web will be giving away a $50 Gift Certificate to the TE Store. Details on how to enter can be found on the company blogs.

I had so much fun with the Deco Foil that I created two cards with the same design by simply varying the Deco Foil used. For my first project, I cut one of the Deco Foil Toner Sheets with the Up, Up, & Away Cutting Plate and laminated it with Deco Foil Transfer Sheet – Silver.

For my second project, I laminated the frame, cut from Deco Foil Toner Sheets with the Up, Up, & Away Cutting Plate, with Rainbow Deco Foil transfer sheets.

Because the balloons were quite colorful, I did not cut out separate balloon overlays.

For this card, I used Zing! Embossing Powder – Gold Metallic for the heat-embossed sentiment (from the Little Bits of Birthday set).

Life is an Adventure – TE Share Joy Challenge #36

I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #36.

TE Share Joy Challenge #36

I created a CAS card showcasing the On the Road – Camper die from the May release. There are so many different variations with this set!

TE Share Joy Challenge #36

I created a background with one of the Picture Perfect – Sunny Days dies and a strip of cardstock (for the road), which I framed with the Pockets & Pages – 3×4 Photo Frame. The Happy Trails sentiment was stamped on the card front.

TE Share Joy Challenge #36

A few weeks ago my husband and I went to a “Farms and Frills” Junkers Market at which there were a number of vintage trailers. They were decorated inside and out! Cute, cute!
