Cute Pink Thank You

You know I can't resist a great inspiration challenge. I found another great one, at Jay Gee's Nook. So cute!

DEEtails:

I wanted to keep this cute and simple, so I used the sweet polka dot print from the Georgia Peach DSP and layered on a piece of Regal Rose card stock, some frilly white ribbon from my stash and a big yellow flower adorned with some striped ribbon, a button, and a mini tag, stamped with the sentiment from SU!'s Happy Moments set.

Special DEElivery:

This card was given to my Aunt and Uncle for letting me stay in their lovely home this weekend.

Thanks for peeking in today!

Cupcake Card

The Hope Stamps Eternal blog hosts a weekly cupcake challenge. This week's photo had a neat mix of colors and I knew I wanted to play along!

Here are the DEEtails:

1. The fluffy frosting on this cupcake looks so yummy! I created my frosting by using my Bigz Scallop Circle #2 die, my Scallop Edge punch and Barely Banana card stock. I added some sparkle with my blender pen dipped in VersaMark, then sprinkled with some sparkly embossing powder.

2. I topped my cupcake with some pretty ribbon, a jumbo brad, a felt flower and a little pearl. My ribbon had three rows of stitching. I gently pulled both sides of one thread to create a ruffle, then tied the ends together. I added my brad and other embelishments, then adhered it to my cupcake.

3. The bottom of my cupcake is Kraft card stock, covered with a piece of acordian folded Vellum paper. I added a piece of ribbon and created an Apricot Appeal tag, stamped with the sentiment from my Happy Moments set.

4. Everything was adhered to my Tempting Turquoise mat with Stampin' Dimensionals. The cupcake top folds up to reveal a secret pocket for a special birthday treat!

5. I added a Barely Banana mat adhered to my Apricot Appeal tag. What a fun color combination!

Hope you like it! Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Presents

I made this fun little birthday card for this week's Curtain Call Color Challenge.


Here are the DEEtails:

1. I loved the gorgeous ribbons in the inspiration image and when I noticed the corner of a brown box in the photo, I knew I just had to use my present stamp from my Happy Moments set. I used VersaMark ink and stamped the image on Kraft, Not Quite Navy, and Rose Red card stocks.

2. I cut the presents out, one by one. I cut out the bottom Not Quite Navy present and cut the stripes out of my Rose Red present and adhered them on. The middle present was pretty simple to do. Then I coloring in the polka dots on my Kraft present, using my Not Quite Navy Stampin' Write marker and cut it out.

3. I adhered all my presents onto a piece of Kraft card stock, to give it a solid back, then cut it out again. Then I tied my DMC floss around the presents, and made a bow. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the single bundle onto a piece of Naturals White card stock (I ran out of Whisper White!)

4. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Moments set onto my card stock. I like how playful this font is, yet so simple!

5. I'm having so much fun making random sized scallop edge rectangles and wanted to make another one for this card. (Feel free to use the DEErections that I've posted if you need some help!) This time, I made my rectangle out of Not Quite Navy, then cut a Rose Red mat for the inside. I layered on my white card stock. Then adhered everything onto my Kraft card.

Thanks for looking! :)

Happiness Always

My mom bought me some beautiful ribbon yesterday and I just had to use it right away! Here it is in my DEEsign for the 2 Sketches 4 You challenge:

Here's the sketch:

And the DEEtails:

1. I chose the colors for this card based on the pretty ribbon. I'm using Bermuda Bay, Basic Gray, and Going Gray. I know the card looks more blue, but I promise, it's a teal color!

2. I stamped the bird cage image from my Happy Moments set in Basic Gray ink and cut it out. I also stamped a sentiment from my Whimsical Words set to go with the birdcage.

3. Then I created a layered mat with my three colors and adhered my images to it using dimensionals.

4. I also created a large mat with the grays for the card and tied my pretty ribbon onto it. I deviated a bit from the sketch here. I liked the ribbon so much and wanted to show it off a bit more, so I tied a bow on the side. Then I adhered the mat to the card.

5. I adhered my mat and images on top of the bow and there you have it!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Little More Sunshine

The inspiration image and colors in this week's Curtain Call Color Challenge are too gorgeous to resist:


Here's my DEEsign:


And the DEEtails:

1. I think this is the first time I'm not really using the inspiration image to help create the look of this card. My original card was meant to imitate the look of the ruffly flowery purse on the left, but the look just wasn't quite right. So instead, I decided to do this card. I hope you like it!

2.I started off with a More Mustard card and a small piece of So Saffron layered on Going Gray, then Very Vanilla card stock.

3. I inked the cute bird cage image from my Happy Moments stamp set with Going Gray and More Mustard Stampin' Write Markers.

4. Then I took a tiny piece of skinny brown Offray ribbon (the kind you get at the craft store 2 spools for $1) and attached it to the top of the bird cage. I covered the ends of the ribbon with a rhinestone to bring in a bit of that sparkle from the inspiration image.

5. I added a ruffle to the edge by taking a piece of 1" Double-Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon about 2 times the length of the card stock. I pulled both ends of the white stitching on one side of the ribbon until I got a nice even ruffle, the length of my card stock. Then I adhered the ribbon to the back of my card stock. Since the ribbon adds some bulk to the back of the card stock, I added some 3-dimensional mounting squares to even it out.
