Great Impressions Challenge Card!

Here's another card I've done for the Great Impressions July Monthly Challenge!  This stamp is just SOOOO fun!  It's the current stamp of the month from Great Impressions and I just had to have it!  I've paired this fun stamp with some equally fun papers from Echo Park.  The pocket was paper pieced using some jean patterned paper from October Afternoon's Sasparilla line; love the dimension it gives!  The image has been colored with Copics and I added some teeny gems to the flower centers.  I had lots of fun creating this card!  Thanks for looking and happy stamping! :)

Great Impressions Challenge Cards!

 I'm playing along with the Great Impressions July Monthly Challenge!  We were to use our best "stay in the lines coloring".  I love these sweet stamps from Great Impressions and had lots of fun creating this little scene.  My images were colored using Copics (LOVE those things!) and I stamped clouds all over the background for a soft sky.  I've popped up the top wings of the butterfly and added stickles and glossy accents to finish off my card.  Thanks for looking and happy stamping! :)

My Latest Publications!!

I can now share my cards that were published in PaperCrafts Magazine's Stamp It! Cards: Vol. 9 special issue!!  I was so excited to see my projects in print! The top card uses some fun stamps from Paper Smooches and the other two cards use stamps from October Afternoon.  Thanks for looking and Happy Stamping!! :)

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

I'm participating in this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.  Here's the inspiration photo, just LOVE it!  That blue is so gorgeous!  I went pretty literal in my creation, taking my inspiration from the pretty colors and textures and keeping a similar layout.

I used a few different stamp sets in this card: sayings from Chit Chat, birdie from Little Lady, and flower from FOLKal Points.  I added some washi tape, button brads, gems, and the flower cut from some designer paper.  A few of the circles have been popped up using foam tape and glossy accents was added for dimension.  I had lots of fun participating and creating this!  Thanks for looking! :)

Here's a recent card I did using some new goodies!  I kept my card very simple using just a few embellishments and these fun stamps from Paper Smooches and Stampin' Up!  I love this new embossing folder from Spellbinders, it's so fresh and fun!  A few gems and a teeny flower are the finishing touches.  Thanks for looking! :)

Here's a card for my upcoming June card class at the Pine City Scrapbooking Co.  I just love this saying set from Paper Smooches, the fonts are just so pretty and they're perfect for quick and elegant cards!  I kept the rest of the card simple with this pretty butterfly paper and a punched butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch (LOVE this butterfly punch!).

I'm participating in the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge! Here is the inspiration piece we were to use to be inspired for our design.

I used one of Paper Smooches' digital stamps to create this card. I printed off several sizes of the flower image and used soft colors pulled from the inspiration piece. I cut out all the flowers and shaped them, which gives them great dimension! I finished off my card with ice white pearl pen to the flower centers and randomly around the flowers for a delicate touch.

Thanks for looking! :)
