Paper Smooches Guest Designer Call

Happy Hump Day! Today I decided to whip up a card for Kim over at Paper Smooches. They are having a Guest Designer call for the month of December. If you think you would like to give this a go you still have plenty of time. The deadline is November 21st. Click HERE to read more about it.

Okay so here is what I came up

 

I decided to use Paper Smooches "I love you" sentiment along with their adorable bird! I really love this bird lol. I colored in the bird with my copics YR02, YR04, B41, W3, W5, YG67,RV93 and RV95. The heart was also colored in using RV93 & RV95. My card is a regular 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 base.

 

My card base is paper by Recollections and the pretty pink and patterned papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle's "Love Letters" collection. I have had this paper stashed for a very long time and I finally found a good use for it. The patterned paper has a hint of gray outlining the circles so that is why I went with a gray bird. I added some black/white washi tape to the corners of the sentiment and added a few black/white prima flowers. To the flowers, bird and the "i", I added some Petal Pink liquid pearls. The bow believe it or not is made from washi tape and the ribbon ends are some of the patterned paper that I cut by hand. Below is a close up of the "washi-tape" bow. Sorry that the picture is a bit blurry, my lighting was off.

 

 

Well thats it for today my friends. I sure hope you stop on over at Paper Smooches and enter your own project. You cannot be chosen if you do not try out! And have you seen all the new stamps being showcased yet? The snowmen are too cute! I just LOVE Kim's stamps!

Thanks for stopping by ya'll!

Live in the Moment

Hi there my blog friends! Sorry I have not posted since last week, soon as Easter hit I was sick and have not felt that great at all. I am on the mend and feeling a bit better today and I have a cute card I want to share with you. The Scrapbooking Queen is having a DT call so I decided to make this card as one of my projects for the tryout.

I made this card with my Pazzles Inspiration and used Bazzill white cardstock. I layered different sized circles that I cut out with my cuttlebug using the Spellbinder's classic circles nestabilities. The black paper is bazzill and the pretty pink patterned papers are from the Prima Almanac Collection.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and the butterflies are a stamp from the new Pretty Momma stamp set from Paper Smooches. I stamped them onto the prima patterned papers and cut them out. The butterflies are on dimensionals and I folded the wings to make them look like they are fluttering. Aren't they cute?

I added in a doilie that I inked using some vintage photo distress ink to give a vintage feel and I used some platinum pearl liquid pearls to make my pearls around the card. I also used some of the liquid pearls on the butterflies. To finish my card off I added a rose flower from Recollections and a cute ivory sheer bow. Well that is it for today but I have a busy week ahead so more postings later in the week! Thank you for stopping by~

Mom- Flourishes Motherly Love

Good Morning Friends! It has been an all-nighter for me, no sleep and so wired so I had time to play in my craft room. Since Mother's Day is just around the corner (May 13th) I figured I would make a card to give to my mother and to take part in the Flourishes Motherly love challenge. So here is what I came up with:

My card base is a standard A2 size card at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I used white and black Bazzill cardstock. I created the background by using a floral stamp by Inkadinkado, inked it up with some Versamark ink and it left a pretty watermark. I used Forever Green, forever blue and forever violet Perfect pearls which gave me a beautiful resist and tone for the black background.

Then I stamped this beautiful butterfly stamp from the new Pretty Momma stamp set from Paper Smooches, again using the versamark ink. I then took some teal and hunter green PK glitter Glitz and covered the butterlies. Aren't they just so sparkly?

I stamped my sentiments(both on the outside and inside) with a white ink pad from studio G and with my sakura white gel pen, I made a few faux stitching around the butterlies and around the inside panel. The sentiments are also from the Pretty momma stamp set. I added a butterfly to the inside panel that I stamped on white bazzill cardstock, cut out and popped up with foam adhesive, to continue the theme from the front of the card. The ribbon I used was a small spool that I had in my stash. Well that is it for my card today, I hope it gives you some ideas for Mother's day! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
