Art Impressions "Tie It Up" Challenge

For today's card I pulled out another Art Impressions stamp that I have yet to ink up called Crown Set.  I love this gal and the sentiment that goes with.  I paper pieced her suit stamping it twice, cutting out the coat and skirt separately.  The papers are from The Paper Studio Murphy's Square.  The crown on the sentiment was from MFT's Pure Innocence - Something Special For You, which I couldn't find on their site, so it might be retired.  The challenge for the next couple of week's at the AI Blog is "Tie It Up".  You need to use ribbon, twine, string whatever on your card.  Since we are in Florida for the winter and I don't have all my supplies, I'm short ribbon & such.  So I added some yellow twine on my sentiment to match the crown.

Stampingbella Uptown Couple Brett & Brenda Get Married

Today's card was made with The Bellariffic Friday Sketch #4 at the Stampingbella blog.  This is first time I have inked up one of these stamps.  I like the way my card turned out, but really I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Stamping Bella stamps.  Here is the sketch for this week. 

I changed up the sketch and made an A2 card instead of square.  The image is from  Stamping Bella's Uptown Couple Brett & Brenda Get Married.  The paper's are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found - Union Square.  Even though it's not traditional wedding colors I love these papers.  The diecut around the image is from Spellbinder's Fleur de Lis Squares and the "celebrate" die cut is one of the dies from the Penny Black Die set called Celebrations, which I got from Simon Says Stamp.  I actually cut this out twice - once in black and the other in red.  I like to layer them to make it pop.

Art Impressions Challenge - Front & Back

The challenge for the next two weeks at Art Impressions  is "Front & Backs".  AI is releasing four new sets that have matching dies and they are super cute!  So for my card I pulled out AI's Front & Back stamp set Hal.  I haven't had a chance to use him yet and I need a birthday card for our friend Tony who is going to be 93 next month.  The sentiment "Officially Old" is from Hampton Art's Laugh Out Loud line.  The paper for the wall that Hal is on is from My Mind's Eye Bramble Rose 6x6 pack.  For the inside card I used the Papertrey Ink Text Block: Party Time die with papers from Basic Grey's Shine On. 

 

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "All Creatures Great & Small"

My niece just found out she's having a baby.  They are both really excited, so I thought I would work on some baby cards for all the showers that will be coming up.  This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is All Creatures Great & Small.  For my card I am using the Whipper Snapper Design stamp Baby Boy Bear.  The papers are from the Crate Paper Little Boy Blue 6x6 pad.  For the die cut letters I use MFT's Die-namics By The Letters Uppercase.  I die cut them twice so I could layer them with black cardstock.

PTI Make It Monday - Layering Cover Plate Dies

Today's card is for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge.  Dawn McVey shows how to create layers using your cover plates.  For my card I used the  PTI Hexagon Cover Plate for my background.  Then I used PTI Feather Finery stamps & dies  to create the feathers and sentiment.  This set has been out of stock for a while, but finally came in, so I was excited to get it.  

Here is my card for this week's challenge.

Have a great weekend...

Art Impressions "Have A Heart" Challenge

My card today was made for the Art Impressions challenge "Have A Heart".  With us being in Florida for the winter I have limited supplies.  With Valentine's Day I should have thought to pack my heart stamps & dies, but I never think that far ahead.  So my paper plays on the heart theme for this card.  I used the AI stamp "Dotty".  When I saw the sentiment stamp "Lifes Dance" from Hampton Art I thought they would go perfect together.  The sentiment was stamped using the Spellbinders Labels Twenty - Two die.  The papers are from American Crafts Dear Lizzy - Lucky Charm 6x6 pack.

Party Girl Birthday Card

I need to send out a birthday card for my niece, so I pulled out the "Party Girl" stamp set from Julie Nutting / Prima Marketing.  I had purchased this set with my niece in mind, since it reminds me of her.  I colored the image with Copics, paper pieced her dress and added Stickles to the underskirt.  The papers were from the Indie Chic / Sarron collection from My Mind's Eye.   The sentiment and die cut were from Simon Says Stamp's Happy Sentiments Set.
