HELLO!!
I'm stopping in to share the Card I've made for the Poppystamps Challenge #17 ~ Crazy In Love!! I wanted to make a FUN Easter/Spring themed LOVE Card and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!  =) I wanted to create a Shaker Card and I KNEW the NEAT Bunny Die woyld make the BEST Shaker Window for my Design!! I started by Die Cutting a Pierced Circle for my Shaker Window Base!! I used the Stitched Landscapes Die Set to create a round for my Scene and then I used the Chocolate Bunny Die to create my Shaker Window Opening!! I used Distress Inks to Ink up my Bunny and then added some details and shading with Copic Markers!! I created a Face and the Inner Ears with a Copic Multi Liner 0.3 Marker!! Then I used the Heart Frames Die Set to create the Sweet Hearts in the Bunny's Paws!! I LOVE the FUN Layered Design!! I wanted the Bunny to have a Furry Tail so I added a White Pom-Pom and then I used a Memory Box Tiny Bow Die Set to create the Bow on the Bunny's Neck from some MFT Pink Gingham Patterned Paper!! I Inked the Edges to make it POP!! For the Main Card Base I decided to use the Heart Lattice Background Die!! I used a Mixture of Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Clear Sequins in 10mm and 4mm sizes and then added some Heart Confetti too!! I REALLY LOVE the way this came together and I CAN'T WAIT to BRIGHTEN someone's day with it!! =)

Can you tell that I'm SMITTEN with this Set!!?? Anyway, I used some Iron On FUSE Paper in order to make the Burlap more Stable and keep it from falling apart!! I Die Cut some Fabric and Ironed on the Fuse Paper than ran it through my Sizzix Machine with the Base Bag Die!! Then I Ran the Burlap Fabric through and Die Cut it out using the Base Bag Die!! I then attached the two together by Ironing them one on top of the other together!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOV LOVE that you can do this in order to use Products that you wouldn't b able to use otherwise!! Then I decided it would be SWEET to use the Paper Trey Ink Die Set to create an Easter Tag so I used the Paper Trey Ink     Die Set and the         Die Set!! I thought I needed a Little Duck so I Die Cut some PTI Felt with the      Die and then layered it together with some Vellum Leaves from the     Die Set!! I Put it altogether with a Burlap Bow and my SWEET Little Burlap Easter Gift Bags are done!!

I started by Stamping and Embossing the Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! I Watercolored it in using Distress Inks and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I Die Cut the Rainbows and Clouds Die Set also from some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I Die Cut a Heart from the Mini Envelopes and Accessories Die Set from the Largest Cloud and Watercolored the Heart with Distress Inks and then went around the Edges of the Clouds with some Pumice Stone Distress Ink to add some Depth!! I Die Cut a Stitched Mats: Squares for the Base Panel and the Frame for my Shaker Window!! Then I Die Cut a Dual Dotted Squares Die Cut from some Distress WaterColor Paper and Watercolored the entire Background with Distress Inks!! I wanted it to be FREE Inside of the Window that I created and then I added the Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Clear Sequins and some of the Iridescent Heart Confetti!! I Die Cut my Card Base from the Lil' Inker Designs Dip Dyed Ombre Patterned Paper using the Stitched Mats: Rectangles Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Happiest Birthday Sentiment from the Lil' Inker Designs Awesome Blossoms Stamp Set!! I attached the Raccoon Image with some Foam Tape and my Card is ready to send!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out and I KNOW it will be bringing a HUGE SMILE to my Friends Face too, which makes me LOVE it even more!! =)

This is the Current Challenge going up today featuring this YUMMY Cupcake Photo and Color Combo for inspiration!!

I thought it would be FUN to create some SWEET Gift Tags using the Newly Released Newton's Nook Designs Made From Scratch Stamp Set and the coordinating Made From Scratch Die Set!! I've used a PTI Tag Sale: Quilted Die Set for the Base of my Tag and for the Sentiment Banner and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it goes along with the Made From Scratch Images!! =)
 
For the "Hot Stuff" Tag, I used a Lil' Inker Designs Silly Stitched Die Set and a  SSS Circle Die to create the Base for my Images to POP off of!! I also had to do a FUN Technique Called Image Transfer Stamping so I could create a "SET" of Oven Mittens for my Tag!! So I Stamped the Oven Mitten Image onto a Piece of Transparency and then used that Image to Stamp onto my Cardstock with!! I then used a .3 Copic Liner Pen to Trace Over the Image and an Embossing Marker to Trace Over that and then added my WoW Clear Embossing Powder!! I had to Fussy Cut the Image out leaving the same border edge as the Die Cut Image!! I think it turned out REALLY Well and if you didn't KNOW it you'd NEVER KNOW I totally Transferred the Right Oven Mittens Image!! For the "Handmade With Love" Tag I used the PTI Limitless Layers 21/2" Scallop Circle Die and then a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Mats: Circle Die for the Main Base of my Tag!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how they came together!! =) I used Distress Watercolor Paper to Stamp and Emboss the Images and then Watercolored them in using Distress Inks!! Some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker adds some SPARKLE!! =) For the Sentiments I Stamped and Embossed them on Black Cardstock using Ranger White Embossing Powder along with a Double Stamped and Embossed Color to draw attention to some of the Words!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE the way this looks in real life!! =)
