Pin It

 

Hello!!
I'm up on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog today with a Sweet Embossed Card!! I wanted to use the New Hello Gorgeous Stamp Set along with the New Large Thanks Stamp!!

SWOON two of my FAVORITES and they pair together so GREAT!! I've also used some of the BEAUTIFUL Autumn Sunset Sequin Mix and some of the Golden Sun Drops!! What is a Card without some SPARKLE!!??  =)  I started by Stamping and Embossing the Floral Image Frame and then I Stamped and Embossed the Large Thanks Sentiment using some WoW Glitter Embossing Powder!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how BEAUTIFUL this is in real life and using it as a Focal with the BEAUTIFUL Font of this Large Thanks Stamp just REALLY makes it POP off the Card!! I added some Gold Sequins and then added some of the Golden Sun Drops using Bling Glue Dots to adhere them to finish off the Design!!
                           

SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this turned out and I hope it INSPIRES you to try some Embossing on your Next Card!! If you do I hope you share your creation with us as we LOVE to see what you create!!
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

HELLO!!
I'm here to share the New Paper Sweeties November 2016 Inspiration Challenge #49!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Shaker Card!!

I've used the New Thankful and Thanks Stamp Sets and the Thankful Sweet Cuts Die Set along with the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts Die Set!! I stamped the word THANKS form the Thanks Stamp Set all over the background of Card Base in the New Narwhal Lawn Fawn Ink!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Pumpkin Image and added the Leaf and the Twig Images after using the coordinating Sweet Cuts Dies to Die Cut them out!! I Die Cut a Window and added Acetate to create the Shaker!! Some Sequins and the Stamped and White Embossed Sentiment from the Thanks Stamp Set finish it off!! I used the Die Cut Circle for the Base of my Tag and added the same Sweet Borders Sweet Cut Die Cut and the Stamped and Embossed Pumpkin, Leaf and Twigs!! I also added the THANKS Die Cut to the Inside of the Card!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out and hope you do too!!?? 

I hope you'll check out the rest of the AMAZING Inspiration shared by the AWESOME DT!!

Hello!!
YEAH!! Who's ready for an EXTRA Anything Goes Challenge over on the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Blog!!?? When the Month has a 5th Week we get to Host an EXTRA Anything Goes Challenge!! This week I decided to use the Sweet Twiggy Florets Stamp Set and the Ruffle Pleats Die!! I wanted to create a Sweet Thank You card and I just LOVE the way it came together!! The Twiggy Florets Stamp Set has SO MANY uses!! I thought I'd Paper Piece a Daisy and then I also Layered the Bottom Half of the Daisy for a FUN Dimensional Look to my Flower!! I created a Pleated Border for the Bottom of my Card to ground everything!! I added some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a few Black Ink Splatters!!  I added a row of Gold Sequin Trim and a Few Scattered Sequins and my Card was done!! =)

THANKS from the Whole Herd with Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

Hello and Happy Friday!!
I'm sharing over on the Newton's Nook Blog today and I just LOVE the card that I have made to share with you!! I FELL in LOVE as soon as I saw the New NND Farm Yard Friends Stamp Set!!

I can't STOP using it and I know it's going to be ONE of my FAVORITES for a LONG TIME!! I thought it would be FUN to create a THANKS Card using the Sentiment From The Whole Herd and then using ALL of the Animals from the Set too!! I Stamped and Embossed all of the Animal Images with Ranger Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder and then used my Copic Markers to Color them in!! Then I Fussy Cut them ALL out and used a Black Soot Distress Marker to color the edges for a seamless finish!! I wanted the Animals to have a 3-D look too beings I was adding them into a 3-D Box so I Stamped and Colored extra Noses, Mouths and the Head of the Sheep an then used Foam Tape to Pop them Up for a FUN 3-D Design!! I took the New Box Die from Neat & Tangled (one of my FAVORITE New Dies) and created the 3-D Box to put all of the Animals in!! I used some Wood Grain Paper and then Inked the edges to finish them off and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I wanted to create a Sign and use some of the Ears of Corn from the Set so I stamped the Sign from the NND Winter Tails Stamp Set from the same Wood Grain Paper and then added some White Acrylic Paint to the Center of it and let it dry!! I then Stamped my Sentiment and the Embossed it so it didn't Smudge using some Ranger Ultra Fine Embossing Powder!! I added three of the Ears of Corn to the Base of the Sign and then I used some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Brushed Corduroy to create a Background for my Scene!! I wanted to add another Layer for some extra Interest so I stamped the Chicken Wire Image from the NND Chicken Scratches Stamp Set!!  I did a Second Generation Stamping so that it wasn't too harsh of an Image and I really like the bit of Interest that it adds to the Card!! I used some TINY 3mm Wiggly Eyes and some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to make the Animals come to Life!!
   
I also Stamped the Large THANKS from the NND Simply Sentimental Stamp Set and Embossed it with the same Ranger Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder!! I added a Tiny Little Heart Die Cut from Paper Smooches that I colored using the same Pinkish Color Copic Marker I used for the Animals and then added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker on top!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! =)

Paper Smooches SPARKS Designer Drafts Challenge!! =)

Hello!!
I hope you're ALL having an AMAZING Weekend!!?? Beckett is on Spring Break, so we were able to get away with some of our Friends and their Kiddos and go Skiing!! It has been just BEAUTIFUL ALL Weekend!! Beckett was SO AMAZED at how it was 76 Degrees at our house in Nebraska and then we traveled just 61/2 hours to Nederland/Eldora Colorado in the Mountains and it was Snowing and 30 Degrees!! It is SO FUNNY how different it can be just miles away!! =)
I'm stopping in to share the New Paper Smooches SPARKS Designer Drafts Challenge!!
I LOVE the sketch for this week and decided to use some of the Newly Released Goodies for my Card!! I've used the Graceful Beauties and Fanciful Frames Stamp Sets and the Butterfly Duet Die Set, Fringe Die, and the Gift Tags Die Set!!

I started by stamping the Largest Butterfly from the Graceful Beauties Stamp Set with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and then I covered it in Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder!! I added the Melissa Francis Vintage Glass Glitter and then Fussy Cut it out!! I layered an Oatmeal Meal Cardstock Butterfly and a Vellum Butterfly using the Butterfly Duet Die Set on top and then added a Confetti Heart Piece from Pretty Pink Posh to finish it off!! For the Fringe I folded some Packing Paper to fit just inside of the Fringe Die so that I could extend the length of the Fringe to fit the entire length of my card!! I LOVE being able to Stretch the uses of my Dies!! =) Then I stitched it along with a couple Sequins to the top part of my card front panel using my Sewing Machine!! I then Die Cut the Second Largest Tag from the Gift Tags Die Set also from some  Oatmeal Meal Cardstock and Vellum and then Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment from the Fanciful Frames Stamp Sets using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Ranger Ultra Clear Embossing Powder!! I added my layered Butterfly and a Bow and layered it on top of the Fringe Border!! I LOVE how it turned out!! =)
I hope you'll join us this week for the Challenge and stop by the rest of the AMAZING Paper Smooches SPARKS Design Team Blogs to see what they have created using the FUN New Designer Drafts Sketch!!
