Scrappy Birthday

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Ever wonder what to do with all the thin offcuts you get when creating the mats for your cards? Do you even keep them? It might not surprise you to learn that I keep all mine. Originally it was with the hope of using them for sentiments, but now I've found an even better use for them; as the focal point and design on your cards...

Card: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and lots of snippets of Lost Lagoon
Ink: Pear Pizzazz and Lost Lagoon
Stamp set: Tag Talk
Tools: Bracket Label Punch
Adhesive: Fast Fuse and Stampin' Dimensionals

Girls Night Out for 613 Avenue Create

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The card I'm sharing with you today is my latest DT creation for 613 Avenue Create. We are ALWAYS anything goes, with an OPTIONAL twist and the twist this week is "Girls Night Out". The sponsor image I've used for the card is "Friends don't let friends wine alone", from Bugaboo Stamps and is great for this challenge! I've added some coordinating sentiment stamps from Stampin' Up! and I think I've nailed the brief :)

Ink: Memento Black
Image: Friends don't let friends wine alone (Bugaboo Stamps)
Markers: Blendabilities (retired)
Stamp set: Good Greetings (retired)

"Graffiti" Butterfly with Me = Grateful

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's been quite a while since I created a square card and I thought it was time to put that right! My base card is cut to 5" and the new Brick Wall TIEF from Stampin' Up! is perfect for the job because it's 6" x 6" and stamping over the embossed surface gives a graffiti look to the sentiment from Me = Grateful...

Card: Whisper White and So Saffron
Ink: Delightful Dijon
Stamp set: Me = Grateful
Tools and embellishments: Brick Wall TIEF, Butterfly Framelits and Basic Pearls
Adhesives: Tombow and Stampin' Dimensionals

Challenges...
