Ham It Up Trio of Pigs

 This adorable card is based on one I saw on Pinterest. It's an old MFT stamp and die set.

I stamped, coloured and die cut the pigs and associated images. A bordered rectangle was die cut and I cut three circles from that piece. The pigs were arranged in the circles and I added the fence and plant pot at the bottom. Some holographic sequins were placed around the card.

BB September - Birthday Florals

 After a hiatus of a few months, I decided to rejoin the Beautiful Blossoms Design Team. It is one of my favourite challenges since I love working with florals. 

The inspiration photo is below. You do not need to use this - it is there for inspiration only. 

I drew the colours for my card from the photo.

I stamped and stencilled the floral image and die cut it 3x to stack it. The sentiment was also stacked. I stamp a background in light grey and placed it behind the die cut frame layers. The image was placed in the lower corner and I added some clear gems around the card.

Come and join us at Beautiful Blossoms and show us how you interpret this challenge.

You have until October 12 to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

Winter Scene Ornament Card

 This is another card inspired by one I found on Pinterest. I chose a purple, gold and white colour scheme. 

I die cut a purple circle and fussy cut snowbanks for the bottom. The images were die cut and assembled (time consuming!) I arranged them under the snowbanks and added some purple trees. I used white and gold pens to create the snowy sky and embossed a sentiment at the top. The ornament was added to a lighter purple card front and then to a white card base.

Deer Through the Window

 This pretty card was inspired by one on Pinterest. I had to make a 5x7 card to fit the window image.

I lightly inked a background, stamped the deer and tree and arranged the die cut elements on top. I placed a thin black frame between the last two layers. Aside from a stamped sentiment, I didn't add anything else to this card.

Trio of Sunflowers

 This pretty card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. 

The sunflowers and leaves were die cut in white and inked. I embossed a Kraft panel and cut the panel into strips to place across the card. The sentiment was added at the bottom along with some iridescent gems.

My Light is Always On for You

 This is another card inspired by one on the Waffle Flower site. 

I embossed the red background with a brick folder and dragged a darker red ink pad across the raised sections. The frames and images were die cut, assembled and adhered to the front of the card with foam tape. A cute sentiment was placed at the bottom.

Enjoy,

Alphabet Challenge - Letter S

 I am still working away at the Alphabet Challenge... this is my card for the letter S. 

S stands for the following: scene card, sunflowers, scarecrow, squirrels, stencilling and sweater weather. Whew!

I stencilled the clouds and added the grass at the bottom. The basket was die cut and inked and I stamped, coloured and die cut the scarecrow, sunflowers, mice and leaves. The scene was placed on two mats and then on the card base. An autumn sentiment referring to sweater weather was placed at the bottom.

From My Window to Yours

 This adorable card was inspired by one on the Waffle Flower site. 

I die cut all the plant pieces and window frames. The backgrounds behind the windows were stencilled with clouds and I added the images accordingly. The frames were set on a pink plaid background and I added a sentiment across the top and adhered the card front to the base with craft foam. 

Enjoy,

Emoji Notification Card

 How cute is this? 

I love the little emojis that I stamped, coloured and die cut. I embossed black cardstock and die cut a circle from that piece. I added a thin gold frame and placed the emojis around the frame. The sentiment was stamped on blue cardstock and I added that piece behind the black panel which was adhered to the white card base with foam tape. 

Enjoy,

You're So Grate

 This card was CASEd from the Trinity Stamps website. 

I embossed the white background with a dotted folder. I die cut all the pieces for the sentiment and images and added them to the card front. The card front was adhered to a black card base - easy! 

Enjoy,
