Thinking of You

Welcome!  I wanted to share this card I put together for a friend.  I stared with a background die from Reverse Confetti called Large Eyelet Cover Panel.  I love the look of this die!  I then die cut a Lil' Inker Designs tag from the set called Anytime Tags.  The sentiment is also from Lil' Inker Designs called Greetings & Salutations. I really like the look of this sentiment set!  Such nice sized sentiments!

For the flowers I used Catherine Poolers Lovely Flowers Stamp Set (Love the design of these!) and the coordinating dies Lovely Flowers & Banners Dies.   Do you just LOVE those vibrant ink colors?  Swoon!  Seriously my new favorite dye inks!  

These are the Catherine Pooler ink colors I used for this card:

Party Dress

Bellini

Aquatini

Melon Ice

Tiara

If you haven't checked these inks out, I highly recommend them! :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #401

Welcome to the next Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #401!  This week the challenge is to use the provided color scheme (shown at the end of this post) on your card or project.  Our sponsor this week and the prize is from Birch Press Designs.  All of the details, including prize information, can be found on the Cupcakes Inspiration blog.  I hope you'll play along!  

I LOVE Birch Press Designs' layered dies!  They are so much fun to play with!  Since I don't own any, I've only been fortunate enough to play with them before, my sweet friend Tracey McNeely sent me some die cuts to play with for this challenge!  Thank you so much Tracey!  I can't wait to see her in a week and play some more with these fabulous dies!

I started by layering the three die cuts from the Sevilla Layer Set dies to create the card base.  I then cut a tag from Reverse Confetti's Tag Me die.  I stamped the sentiment from Neat & Tangled's Kindness Matters stamp set.  I then layered the gorgeous butterfly from Birch Press Designs Paradiso Butterfly Layer die set, using two of the layers rather than three.  Last, I added a few sequins.



This is such a gorgeous die set!!  And SO MUCH fun to play around with!  Some day I'll share the other cards I have made using these dies.

Here is the gorgeous challenge color scheme.  You can use the photo for inspiration but you don't have to, as long as you use the provided color scheme. I hope you'll join us this week for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #401!  Thanks for stopping by!

Always Believe!

Hello!  Today I have a card that I made during my Stamping Away getaway recently.  I think it was my favorite of all the cards I put together that weekend!

I started with the background patterned paper from we R Memory Keeper's Love Notes set.  I'm pretty sure I need stamps that I could replicate this with! :)  

I then used Reverse Confetti's Double Banner Garland die to create the banners.  I LOVE this banner!  What I really like about it is that you have several options on how to use it!  For these I just cut a solid banner out of patterned paper and adhered the outline banner & the solid banners together.  Super simple!  The paper I used is lovely!  It is called On Trend by My Mind's Eye and it has gold foil all over in the collection!  LOVE!!

I'm also really in love with these sentiments, also by Reverse Confetti (Paper Crane).  They have been on my wish list forever and at some point I need to buy them!  Amy was kind enough to let me use them during the weekend!  I embossed the sentiment on vellum with gold embossing powder. 

I'm entering this in the Bring on the Bling Challenge by Crazy 4 Challenges. My bling is gold! Gold paper & gold embossing powder!  

I'm also entering this in the Addicted to Stamps Anything Goes challenge!

I hope you enjoyed the card!! Thanks for stopping by!
