Sending Sunshine-Card for CDD

Hi fellow stampers..

I'm here today to share a cute little spring themed card that I created as my design team project for Craftin Desert Diva's using the cute little bee and the flowers from the Home Sweet Home stamp set.. I also wanted to add a little detail to my card, so I used the bee swirl from the Busy Bee stamp set, the leaves and sentiment from the Autumn Wishes stamp set..

here is what I created:

I  used the big scalloped edge die from the Fancy frames die set to cut the background to my card.  Once I had the background, I stamped my flowers and then the leaves.. finally adding that adorable bee and the swirl and lastly the sentiment..

I used a Stardust pen on the wings of the bee, centers of the flowers and leaves to add little shimmer..

Masking the flowers was simple and I was able to layer them.. 

I colored the unstamped areas with green marker to add the cluster look..

Here are the stamps I used to create my card:

    

 Busy Bee........   Home Sweet Home........  Autumn Wishes 

and the die set I used:

Fancy Frames

Thanks for stopping by today

Till next time

Hugs

Project life-week1-pppr daily

Hi fellow crafters..

Any Project life fans out here? :)

I'm here today to share my daily for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon

At the beginning of the year, I tell myself to keep up with the weeks and do project life..

I've started every January but then slowly forget :)

Hopefully this year will be different..

I'm here today to share my first project life page with you and I created it using some of the fun winter themed and project life themed cutting files..

Here is what I created:

I don't have photos yet for this pocket page, but I did create some of the photo mats where I can slip in some photos with ease..

How about some close ups of the cards:

I love these monthly cut out cards, make creating these pocket pages so much quicker.

used some free fonts to create a week page..

I love coffee, so of course I have to add a coffee cup to my PL card :)

and that walrus was just cute to pass up..

I added a journaling card and though the lantern looked cute with it, since we burn a bunch of lanterns outside since it gets dark real early during this time of year here in Finland..

I also added a few photo mats to add some photos to..

Here are the cutting files I used to create my Project Life cards:

January-June pocket cards

Layered Labels 3 

Winter Critters 

Winter Wonderland 

Gnomies cutting file

Java Great Day

Snow Much Fun cutting file

and theirs my Project life page for you :)

so much fun to create your own by using some fun prints and die cuts..

I absolutely love creating my own, they are more personal than buying the ready made cards..

plus, you can use any prints and colors.. Oh yea!!! LOL

Thanks for stopping by today

Till next time

I decided to make a fun winter themed card, using stamps, dies and heat embossing.

I used the oven mitts from the Baked with Love stamp set and then the snowflakes from the Chilly stamp set to create a winter themed card..

I fussy cut the stamped image, heat embossed a small snowflake on them using white embossing powder, then rubbing distress ink on them to color them.. Adding some texture paste to create the fuzzy look :)

I stamped the larger snowflake onto light brown cardstock using embossing ink, then heat embossing them with white embossing powder and adding some white paint splatters.. finally stamping the sentiment to one of the die tags I cut, attaching it to the card base with foam tape..

Here are the stamps I used to create my card:

     
Baked with Love                          Chilly

You should of arrived here from Lisa's blog

For this weekends hop, we are getting inspired by COLOR. We'll be sharing projects we created using this color palette from Design Seeds (photo below)  that feature Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.

I have become such a fan of Pocket letters, addicted is a better word..LOL

 I have shared a few and received some fabulous pocket letters in exchange.. so, for today's color inspiration project, I created a fun Pocket letter which is Love/Valentines day themed..

here is what I created:

                                  

I had a great idea on a design for my pocket letter and then used my Silhouette design software to create it.. designing your project using the software is a great way of moving things around and playing with images before you commit to cutting anything.. Here I have a screen shot of the pocket letter design in the design stage and you can see what I moved around when I finally cut and glued down all of my images :

how about some close ups of the pocket letter:

Here are the files I used to create my project:

Sweet Hearts cutting file

Valentines Sweets cutting file

Valentines Kids cutting file

Cupid Cutting file

Stamp Frames cutting file

Viewfinder reel cutting file

Clipboard cutting file

Scalloped circle cutting file

Layered Labels 2 cutting file
