Bow Wrapped Birthday Wishes

Hello crafty friends,

Here's my card for Scrapyland's Challenge #18 (and my 2nd entry for their Guest Designer call).  The theme was birthdays/celebrations using any brand of die Scrapyland sells.     

For this card I used three of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Candle dies, cutting them out of white and baby blue glitter papers.  

I also used, one of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Four Bows dies, cutting it out of white and pink glitter papers.

And as my finishing touch,  I used the Die-Versions Sweet Wordlets Happy and Die-Versions Sweet Wordlets Birthday dies for my "Happy Birthday".  

I love how simple, but elegant this card turned out.   Thanks for stopping bye today.  Until next time, take care.

Anything Goes

Hello crafy friends,

It's Saturday, May 15th 10:30am and I just found out about the Scrapyland Guest Designer call and I know I want to submit a card.  Now I should be working on the three cards I need for later today (2 Birthday cards and 1 Mother's Day card)... LOL  

I have a lovely bridal card to show you today. 

I started by covering my card base with wood grain pattern paper.  Next I die cut several of the Die-Namites Beautiful Flowers die, because I trimmed sections to fit them on my card.  I wanted to create background of flowers instead of die cut clusters.  

Next I stamped, colored and glittered my Stamping Bella bride.  I added foam tape under her for dimension and attached her to the card. 

I glued an Elizabeth Craft Best Wishes die cut at the bottom of her dress and added tiny pearls to the card.

I'm past the point were I have friends getting married, so I will just hold on to this lovely card until the next generation is of age.

Thank you for stopping bye my blog today. Please stay a while and browse some older post.  I LOVE comments, so please leave me some feedback.  Take care.

Welcome Die-Versions Friends!

Dear Die-Versions Fans,

In honor of National Scrapbook Day and Mother's Day we on the Die-Versions Design Team have come up with a fun Blog Hop and Card Challenge.  The Mother's Day Card Challenge will begin on May 5th and run thru May 11th and the winners will be announced on the Die-Versions Blog on May 15th. 

The Design Team will be picking 5 winners from the Mother's Day Card Challenge.  The theme for this Challenge is to make a Mother's Day Card.  To be eligible to be one of the 5 Lucky winners you have to comply with the following:

*  Your card must be newly created and PLEASE, no back linking

*  Please be a follower of the Die-Versions' blog along with the Design Team Members Blogs (listed below)

*  You need to leave a comment on the Die-Versions' blog and each of the Design Team Members blogs (listed below)

*  You must link your Mother's Day card with the inlinkz link on the Die-Versions' blog  

*  We would love it if you used a Die-Versions die in your card, but that is not mandatory!

I love the Whispers - Vase of Roses die, so for this card I die cut it twice, so that I would have green leafs and red flowers. I cut the red flowers and glued them over their green counterparts.   

I created my scalloped opening by die cutting the Whispers - Daisy Chain Scallop die from my background pattern paper.  The mom die cut comes from the Sweet Spot #1 Mom die.  

Here's a close up of the card:
   


For my second card I used the beautiful font called Magical to spell MOM and framed it with the lovely Daisy Frame.

Inspired by Wendy

Hello crafty friends,

I have a layout for you today scrap-lifted inspired by Wendy Antenucci​'s "My Baby Girl" layout, which you can find here.   I used products I had on hand, so my layout doesn't have the same products her's does.   

My sewing machine is not working currently, so I ended up using a stitch die (Paper Smooches "Dots & Dashes") to get the look of stitches down my white hearts.

I feel my layout has a heavier feel to it than Wendy's, but I think it matches my darker photo. I love how it turned out and thank Wendy for the inspiration.
