Thinking Of You

Design Team sister Sue challenged us to make a card with the words "Thinking Of You". I have a 6"x6" paper pack from Pebbles with that sentiment in one of the pages, so I fussy cut and rounded the corners...and voila! I have an instant sentiment minus the stamping. :-D I kept my color palette in the teal and grey tones. I colored a Tilda mini and added a gold butterfly from Recollections. I layered some strips of paper for added interest, minus the bulk since I will be mailing the card. The sequins are from Close To My Heart.

Spring Fever

Hello everyone! It's my turn to host our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Spring comes early here in sunny AZ, and I was inspired to make a flipbook mini album using Lisa's You Tube Tutorial. I used the Gilded Lily paper pack from Graphic 45, a butterfly and crystals and pearls from Prima. I added some Martha Stewart stickers (they remind me of crown molding), and some dimensional stickers that my friend Lydia sent me. Here are pics of my mini album. :-)

Lovely Lace!

Our theme for our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts is "Lovely Lace". Design team sister Kristi challenges us with using lace in our project. I made a tag using Tilda paper, and added some embellishments from K&Co, a heart paper doily from Recollections, paper lace trim from K&Co and seam binding that I dyed purple. The word "happy: was cut using a Heidi Swapp die. I kept it simple for easy mailing. It was also amusing to note that the only pic that I had of the tag was the one that I uploaded to Instagram, hence the "nostalgic" look.

Come join this fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts and show us that lace!

Bold Colors!

We want to chase away the winter blues by featuring bold colors in our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts. I made a card that reminded me of sunshine. :-D The sentiment is from a Julie Nutting for Prima stamp set. The base cardstock is DCWV, embossed with a Chevron Embossing Folder. I added a panel of Canary Chevron Fundamentals paper, a piece of Baker's Twine in yellow, and a yellow daisy from Prima. The leaves are from Recollections. I also added some Bling Gems Gold Assortment to add more sparkle. I hope this card will brighten someone's day!

Be My Valentine!

I LOVE Valentine's Day. We are celebrating that special occasion at My Sheri Crafts in our biweekly challenge. Design Team sister Sandy challenged us with using pink white and red in our projects. I think I went to town with this one. lol!

My first project is a tag using Mon Amour paper from Graphic 45. The flowers are from Prima. The doily is from Recollections. Crystal swirls are from Close To My Heart

I made a pocket letter for a friend using the same paper line. The flower die cuts and paper lace are from K&Co.

I also made another Gorjuss Girl pocket letter. The paper are from Prima and Bo Bunny. The stickers are from Jolee's. I added some die cuts from Recollections and Martha Stewart.

I made a LOVE banner using both paper lines. The embellishments are from Recollections. Flowers are mini roses from Prima and the enamel roses are from Close To My Heart.

I also made a paper bag with the bottom part cut off and folded, so the bag would have two pockets to fill with goodies. One of the pockets has a Gorjuss Girl tag in it. The paper and the wood veneer cage are from Hobby Lobby. Flowers are from Prima and The Paper Studio. The lace, heart doily and heart bunting are from Recollections.

My last project, at least for this challenge is my attempt at mail art. I made an envelope using DCWV paper, added a Gorjuss girl and decorated it with washi and ribbon tape. It looks wonky right now because I filled it with crafty goodies inside.

Feelin' Fussy

We are fussy-cuttin' in our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts! I made a couple of pocket letters using Gorjuss Girls Stamps and a Prima Doll stamp, all stamped and colored with Copic markers, and of course, fussy-cut.

The first pocket letter features bright, vibrant colors and positive sayings. I don't usually mix these colors, but Pebbles had the perfect paper pad that I wanted to feature. :-) I even fussy cut some of the words so I could use them as accent pieces.

My second pocket letter combines Valentine paper from Bo Bunny and Prima Marketing. I decorated both front and back of the pocket letter and used embellishments from Recollections, Martha Stewart, and from the bargain bin at Michael's. The Red Enamel Hearts are from Close To My Heart. I fussy cut some elements from the paper pad and layered them.

Let's Build A Snowman!

Happy New Year to all of you from the Design Team at My Sheri Crafts! We are building a snowman for this challenge hosted by Glenda. I made a sidestep card using the tutorial from Our Daily Bread. The images are from Christmas Post and the sentiment is from Frosty Fun. I used Seaside paper for the base (retired). The background Glacier cardstock was embossed with Confetti Embossing Folder and tied with Glacier Extra Thick Twine. I colored the images with Copic markers. I added some strips of White Shimmer Trim and punched a snowflake border to finish off the look.
