Wednesday challenge ~ Sketch

I finally got to use Amy's Sympathy Sentiments set. Isn't this just pretty? I thought using this paper would make it hard to pull off a sypathy card, but it pretty much just came together. The sketch Diane did for us was fabulous. I am going to have to use this one again. Have a great evening! :)

Preview day 2

Amy designed this gorgeous butterfly set for this release! I am in love. It speaks elegance. You can see some of the other team members samples on the ATS blog. Also I have links for their blogs on the sidebar to see even more. I think the card is pretty self explanatory, but I wanted to mention that the butterflies were covered in stardust stickles after they were colored. They are so pretty! Also I got to use my new pendant die! Is this thing not the most elegant die cut you have ever seen? It is called Fleur De Lis and is available now. * Edited to add that All That Scraps now has these in stock as well! :)

Wednesday challenge and a new preview

This week (month and next month to) are proving to be very busy ones for me. I am excited to show you what I can share. Some of it I can't but I am excited about all that to. Fun things are coming to our future! Smile. Here is the new Chasing Butterflies set that will be released at All That Scraps on Monday. Diem Pascarella is designing some stamps for Christine now. If the name sounds familiar it is because she designs the adorable Beautiful Day Fairies for Paper Makeup Stamps. This set she created is just too cute. I had a blast playing with it and also with my new Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant die. This gorgeous die is available now! If you head on over to the ATS blog you can see more peeks and have a chance to win this cute stamp set.

Here is my challenge for today. I challenged the team to use patriotic colors. I didn't limit which patriotic colors so anyone can play and use what is patriotic to them. The 4th of July will always be my favorite. I love the warm feeling I get when I think of all the servicemen and women who have given their all for my freedom. The pride just swells in my heart. I appreciate all of these people and their families for the sacrifice that they have made and make on a daily basis.

Christine came out with a new digital image last week. There is a short hair version and this one. Her name is Kiki! Isn't she the cutest? I had so much fun coloring her. I think I had a big ole grin on my face the whole time I was creating this card.

Day 3 Sneak Peek

This is Gretel! Is she not the cutest? These are the new Swiss Pixies. They will be available on Monday night with the other new stuff! The sentiments on both cards are from Amy R. Stamps Thank You Sentiments. You can never have to many sentiments and this has tons to cover everything in the thank you department. I used pink pirouette for the base. Chocolate chip is the frame with Basicgrey on top of that. The flowers were done with Spellbinders new Blossom dies (S4-192) The smallest three were used for the petals, then embossed with the Flowers Impressabilites templates. I sponged them with chocolate chip before assembling the flowers. After they were assembled, I snipped the flowers slightly to give them more depth. Gretel is posing for a photo! I got the photo look by using Nestabilities deckled rectangles! I used die number 5 of the small ones. (S4-201) Copics used were E00, E11, W1, RV11, RV32, B00, Y21, YR21, YR23, E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47. I applied stardust stickles to her wing for sparkle. The tag is from Tags Trio S3-148.

Next we have Heidi! I love how she is sitting. I used Buckaroo blue for the base on this one and chocolate chip embossed with the Spellbinders butterfly Impressability. After it was embossed I brushed white craft ink on it. Heidi was cut out using the large Octagons (S4-185) and large Scalloped Octagons (S4-187). I used the two largest ones. Copics used were E44, E47, E00, E11, B00, B91, B93, B95, E31. The wings were glittered up with stardust stickles. Flowers were done in chocolate chip with Flower Bouquet (S4-200) and then the swirls came from Floral Accent (S4-199).

These sets are up to win if you leave a comment on the All That Scraps blog. You can't win if you don't enter!

Wednesday DT challenge ~ 3x3 notecard box

The challenge at All That Scraps this week is to create a 3x3 notecard box. Here is mine. You can find a tutorial to make this over at Splitcoaststampers. I used BasicGrey Marrakech paper for my box along with SU Blush Blossom. The stamp set is the new Sugarplums Surfer Emma with the star fish from Sugarplums Beach Scene. The Spellbinders S4-193 Peony set is new! I love these shapes. I used stardust stickles on the starfish and the centers of the flowers. Have a great day and enjoy the possibilities.

Sugarplum beach scene

Here is another one of the Sugarplum Emma and Trevor stamps used with the flowers from Sugarplum beach scene. I know you don't usually see flowers in the sand on the beach, but be creative people! To see some more examples head on over to the ATS blog. Super cute stuff! There is a bunch of cute stamps in this set along with the cute flowers. You will find flip flops, a surf board, sun, birds, shells. It stretches the Emma and Trevor set so much. It's perfect for all your summer stuff coming up in the next couple of months!
