FB Live Pretty Kitty Purse

FB Live Pretty Kitty Purse

Dimensions: 

Whisper White CS - 7 x 10

Blushing Bride CS - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4

Shimmery White CS - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4

Subtles Designer Series Paper, Blushing Bride - 2 1/2 x 5 1/2, 2 1/2 x 2 3/4

For complete instructions on how to create this purse using the Gift Bag Punch Board, please watch the video below.  

Isn't this just the sweetest little purse?  Of course, I think that the little kitty from the Pretty Kitty stamp set makes it that much cuter!!  I ran across a tutorial on Pinterest to create this bag, but it was for a backpack.  SO I added some Blushing Bride Stitched Satin Ribbon at the top to create a little purse, instead of making it into a backpack (which was cute too!).  

Did you know that Stampin' Up! carries this sweet little print in their Designer Series Paper Stacks?  I just LOVE these paper stacks and LOVE that they come in ALL of the colors that SU! has.  The are SO versatile and the prints are perfect for cards and 3D projects too.  

I used the Gift Bag Punch Board to create this little cutie!!  When I was searching Pinterest for inspiration, I searched specifically for something that used the Gift Bag Punch Board, but that used it in a different way from how it was created to be used.  I cannot remember where I found the tutorial for the original backpack, but if you search Pinterest, I am sure you will find it!!

Up & Away Tea Bag Holder

Up & Away Tea Bag Holder

Dimensions: 

Night of Navy CS - 3 x 11, 3 x 4

Whisper White CS - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Carried Away DSP - 3 x 3 3/4, 3 x 1 3/4, 3 x 1 1/4, 3 x 1 

Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Isn't this just the CUTEST little Tea Bag Holder ever??!!  I was browsing Pinterest for a 3-D project and ran across the tutorial for this over on the Pootles Papercraft website.  I absolutely fell in love with it and decided it would be for today's project!!  

The original tutorial for the envelopes that hold the tea bags used the Envelope Punch Board, but I don't have it.  I did however have the Gift Box Punch Board and noticed that it had the same punch.  SO with a little creative measuring, I was able to use Gift Box Punch Board!!  YAY ME!!  LOL  I used the Carried Away DSP in the SAB catalog along with the Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Thinlits Dies.  LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!!!  When you purchase the Lift Me Up bundle, you are under $5 away from earning a FREE Sale-A-Bration item, which can be used to get either the Carried Away DSP OR the Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack where the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper comes from.  

The video is a bit lengthy, BUT I promise you, it is well worth the time to watch it!!  Make sure to "SUBSCRIBE" to my YouTube channel to receive notifications when I post new videos as I am adding 4-5 new videos each week!!  In addition to the video tutorial I made, I also have printable/downloadable instructions below the Supplies Used.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!  I am a absolutely LOVING this new Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack in the Sale-A-Bration special!!!  The Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron, and Sweet Sugarplum colors are SO yummy in the Glimmer paper!!  I KNOW I will be needing another pack of this VERY soon!  lol

This card took NO time at all to put together.  I love the simplicity of it, yet it is just gorgeous.  I used the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and Dragonfly Dreams stamp set along with coordinating ribbons and inks.  For the top card, because I don't have any Bermuda Bay ink YET, I used Basic Black CS to back the wings and Basic Black ink for the sentiment.  Not quite sure which card I love the most!!

Isn't this just the cutest little frog?  I LOVE the sentiment as well!  TOO CUTE!!  Today's project was creating using the Paper & Ink sketch #15.  I modified it a bit, but still kept with the sketch overall.  That cute little frog is from the You're Sublime stamp set, which I colored in using an Aqua Painter and Mint Macaron Ink.  The Shimmery White CS works GREAT for coloring with the Aqua Painter!!

Don't you just LOVE the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper??!!  OH MY GOODNESS!!  It's such a pretty color and SO sparkly!!  You know how I love my sparkle!!  From now till March 31st, you can get a pack of Glimmer paper for FREE when you place a $50 order!!  Gotta love free stuff!

Bella & Friends Part 2

Bella & Friends Part 2

Dimensions: 

Pool Party CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (score at 4 1/4), 3 x 4 (scalloped oval), 1 x 5 1/2

Whisper White CS - 4 x 5 1/4, 5/8 x 5 1/2

Shimmery White CS - 3 x 4 (stitched oval)

Did I mention I can't get enough of the Bella & Friends stamp set?!  Well, if I didn't, I can't!  LOL  This little puppy dog is SO stinking sweet!  I colored in the balloon using an Aqua Painter and Pool Party ink, along with the bow to the balloon.  The collar was colored in using Watermelon Wonder Ink and everything was brushed with a bit of Clear Wink of Stella.

This card came together SUPER FAST!  I kept it simple because I wanted the image to be the focal point.  Both the Pool Party Stitched Satin Ribbon and Large Polka Dot embossing folder were a PERFECT complement to the soft feel of this card.

I just LOVE the Layering Ovals and Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies paired together.  You certainly don't need the stitched oval, but it really does add a nice touch to the shape.  I use BOTH sets of dies ALL the time!!  The nice thing is the Stitched Shapes Framelits go with the Layering Ovals, Layering Squares AND the Layering Circles perfectly!!

Whisper White Thick CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (score at 4 1/4), 4 x 5 1/4 

Blushing Bride CS - 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (scalloped square)

Shimmery White CS - 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (stitched square)

Hey All!!  Don't you just love it when you have something in mind for a card and it actually turns out even BETTER than you thought it would??!!  I am VERY pleased with the way this card came out.  I envisioned using the Delicate Details stamp set from Sale-A-Bration, with the Blushing Bride ribbon that I recently purchased.  I wanted the lace image to come out from under the ribbon, but that's all I knew.  

I searched for a card sketch that would fit my vision and found a SUPER SIMPLE sketch in one of my old sketch books.  Once I had that, I went through my limited stash of stamp sets to see if anything jumped out at me and came across the You're Sublime set that I purchased just this last week.  The rest of the card came together pretty quickly after that!!  Yay for fast cards!!  LOL

The image was colored using an Aqua Painter and the following inks: Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso.  Add a touch of shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella to top it off.  Gotta have that sparkle!!

Watermelon Wonder CS - 3 1/4 x 3 1/2, scrap for flower

Peekaboo Peach CS - scrap for flower

So Saffron CS - scrap for flower

Aren't the cards the cutest?  If I do say so myself!  LOL  I decided to play along with the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge this week and struggled a bit with it at first.  BUT when I finished the card with the crazy hair chicks on it, I wasn't sure if it was TOO much.  SO I created one using the eggs!  Now I can't decide which one I like best!

For both cards, I colored in the chicks/eggs from the Hey Chick Sale-A-Bration stamp set with an Aqua Painter using Watermelon Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, and Peekaboo Peach.  Of course I had to top it off with some Clear Wink of Stella!!  For the birds, I only used the shimmer on their hair and tail feathers.  The flowers on both cards have shimmer on them as well.  LOVE my sparkle!

Clean and Simple Succulent Garden Card

Clean and Simple Succulent Garden Card

 Dimensions: 

Calypso Coral CS - 4 1/4 x 11 (score at 5 1/2)

Very Vanilla CS - 4 x 5 1/4, 2 x 2 3/4

So Saffron CS - 2 x 2 3/4

Shimmery White CS - scrap for flowers

This card was created using Peekaboo Peach and Watermelon Wonder.

Today's projects is a clean and simple card using the Succulent Framelits dies and your paper trimmer!  Aren't those flowers just beautiful?  They were created by sponging So Saffron and Calypso Coral ink onto Shimmery White CS.  Cut the flowers out using the Succulent Framelits Dies and add Wink of Stella for the shimmery look.  SO pretty!!  

I used a paper trimmer with my bone folder to run an embossed line 1/2" on the 4 x 5 1/4 and 1/4" on the 2 x 2 3/4 piece. Of course, you can also use your favorite scoring tool as well.  I don't have one, so I used what I have on hand.
