Tea Party Invite!

Hello! I needed to make some b-day invites for my daughter, and thought of this fun fold! I saw this wonderful Origami Diamond Fold tutorialon YouTube by my dear friend Wendy! It really is super simple with a big WOW factor! :)

The fab ribbons I have used on this card is from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.
I layered the white ruffled satin ribbon with some thinner teal satin ribbon, tied in a bow with a bow easy!

The fun tea set is from There She Goes stamps, which was stamped and then layered on a lacey square nestabilites from spellbinders.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great day!

SC213 & TSG03 - Butterfly Happiness with Dimension!

I made this card for SC213 and TSG03 where we were to use one of the lovely There She Goes stamp sets and add dimension for our card with...what else - dimensionals!

I chose TSG's Butterfly Happiness for my card today. Love this set...so very versatile! I first stamped the leaves image on the main image panel in kiwi kiss. Then I stamped the sentiment in Riding Rood Red. I stamped the butterfly in Riding Hood Red on Pink Pirouette paper. The leaf panel, sentiment and butterfly are all popped up on dimensionals.

To embellish, I added some red gems on the butterfly's body, and some Pink Pirouette ribbon behind the sentiment panel.

This was really a great sketch today, and I LOVE adding dimension to any card...very fun!!

WT186 - Can I quote you on that?

I made this card for WT186 - We were to use a quote as a focal point. When I saw this posted, I knew exactly what set I was going use...There She Goes has just wonderful quotes/sentiment in her sets!!

I just love this quote...very fun indeed...and this butterfly...don't even get me started - LOVE IT!! I used some of that wonderful saffron twill tape today, and some of the beautiful riding hood red taffeta ribbon so very fun! Can you tell I am a ribbon lover...hardly a card is made where I don't use ribbon! LOL!!

I would have had this card done about 15 minutes sooner, but when I went to go look for the original butterfly that I stamped and cut out I could not find it!! Looked all over for it too! Oh well, I ended up stamping and cutting another one out, and if I find it I can alway use it later!

FS86 Way to go Terrore3!!

I made this card for this week's FS86 on SCS, which featured Terrore3! What a fun gallery she has! I decided to CASE this card. I unfortunately needed a sympathy card for one of my DH's coworkers whose mother pass away last week.

I did change a few things on my card: I used different colors, masked and oval instead of a rectangle, added brads in the bottom corner, added more layers, and used different images.

I just love masking, and the effect you get with it! In this case I cut an oval frame with my creative memories oval cutter. I then layered it over my confetti cream paper and sponged both kiwi kiss and close to cocoa. I then stamped this wonderful bird image and sentiment from There She Goes Here for you set in close to cocoa. To finish off the card I used some yummy kiwi kiss ribbon and antique brass brads.

CC185 - Butterfly Happiness

I made this card for CC185 - Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, and Confetti Cream (we were supposed to use very vanilla but I did not have any).

I used my Butterfly Happiness Stamp from There She Goes again today. Love this set! So many fun butterfly images and I love all the sentiments!! The butterfly and the sentiment are inked in Baja breeze and stamped on the confetti card stock. I inked up the leaves with Kiwi Kiss for the background panel and tore all the edges. Then I torn the right edge of the card over about 3/4", and stamped another smaller butterfly image on the inside of the card so when closed, they appear on the right side of the card. To finish the card off, I added some of my favorite kiwi kiss/vanilla satin ribbon, and sponged the edges of the base of the card with Baja breeze.

I really do love this color combo. I think that Baja and kiwi are VERY pretty together! In fact, the last card I made with a There She Goes set was almost this same combo, only I used white and added close to cocoa. Anyway. hope you all have a great day...I know I will since it is my DD's 5th b-day!! I am off to make her some chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! :)

WT194 - The Wonderful World of Silhouettes

I made this card for today's WT184 challenge on SCS. I LOVE silhouette stamps, and There She Goes Stamps has a couple of really pretty silhouette sets! The set I used for today's card is called There for you. Not only are these lovely silhouette images...the sentiments that come with this set are just so beautiful!

I was totally inspired by Michelle (Zindorf on SCS) for this card. I first stamped the plant image in kiwi kiss and then inked it in versamark (yes, I got kiwi on my versamark pad, but it is okay...it still works just fine...it just is not as pretty as it was before) :). Then I covered the image with clear embossing powder. I did the same for the birds only I inked them first in close to cocoa. Then I tore a piece of paper and covered the whole image except the very bottom and then brayered the bottom with close to cocoa. I then used the other portion of the torn paper and sponged clouds all over the sky with Baja breeze. I also sponged Baja all over the sentiment panel. I then used the ticket corner punch on all of the layered edges of the sentiment panel. To finish off the card I used a clip from SU, and some yummy kiwi kiss satin ribbon.

I love making scenes like this, I know I still have a lot to learn, but they are really fun to create!!

Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Close to Cocoa
Inks: Same as above plus Kiwi Kiss and Versamark

WT183 - New There She Goes Stamps!!!

I got my new There She Goes Stamp sets yesterday in the mail, and just HAD to put some ink to one of them today. You really need to go and check out these stamps...my friend Jessica just started this company, and I think her stamps are fantastic!!

For today's card I decided to use the Butterfly Happiness set. So fun! I stamped the silhouette image in basic gray and then sponged over it with Baja breeze. I stamped the butterflies in Baja breeze, cut them out and popped them up on a dimensional. The DSP is from SU's Urban Garden, and the ribbon is also SU's Baja breeze stitched ribbon.

I made this card for todays WT183 challenge on SCS...to use a white gel pen. So for the sentiment I doodled some white dashes to match the stitching on the pretty ribbon. The sentiment was punched out using the oval punches for SU.
