Card Class Project

Here is the card we made for this last Wednesday's stamping class. I was inspired by a layout from Paper Craft's magazine. I know I am using this dress form a little too much and promise to put it away for a day or two:) I really love the set Established Elegance and like to combine it with Elements of Style.

Stamps - Established Elegance, Elements of Style, Bring on the Cake, Timeless Treasures
Ink - soft suede, always artichoke, pink pirouette
Paper - Beau Chateau, whisper white, crumb cake, soft suede card stock
Accessories - corner rounder, linen thread, crumb cake seam binding, vintage brads

Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger

Browsing this week's challenges, I came across an inspiration challenge for Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger. I immediately saw the torn layers of this card in my mind and went to work to create it. Ahh, if only I had the figure to wear this beautiful dress. Even though the inspiration dress is a bit more mod, I went with a vintage feel for my project. I just received my new stamp set Established Elegance and HAD to ink it up.

Stamps - Established Elegance, Elements of Style, Vintage Labels (sentiment)

Paper - Paisley Prints, Springtime Vintage DSP, early espresso, very vanilla card stock

Ink - early espresso, always artichoke, cherry cobbler, peach parfait

Accessories - dots embossing folder, oval die, vintage trinkets, vintage brads, early espresso satin ribbon, dimensionals

Redux - I Like it Better

I switched the colors on this card and like the contrast much better. To add a little texture to the mustard band at the bottom, I "sueded" the paper. I am really enjoying the new In Color  -Pool Party. It really coordinates with so many colors.

Paper - early espresso, pool party, very vanilla, more mustard

Ink - pool party, early espresso, more mustard

Stamps - Elements of Style, Nature Walk, Because I Care ( sentiment)

Accessories - Large decorative label punch, early espresso satin ribbon, dimensionals

Paper Crafts Inspiration Card

This card was inspired by a card that I like in the July/August issue of Paper Crafts magazine. It looks very light in the picture, but it is really a bit darker in person. I am going to give this one another try with a darker color combo to make it pop a bit more.

I didn't have a re-inker to color the ribbon with so I used a Blushing Bride Stampin' Write marker to color very vanilla seam binding, then quickly dipped it in water to disperse the color. I hung it to dry and it actually worked. Needless to say, blushing bride re-inker is on my current order list.

Paper - very vanilla, blushing bride, crumb cake

Ink - pool party, crumb cake, blushing bride

Stamps - Elements of Style, Nature Walk, Because I Care ( sentiment)

Accessories - Large decorative label punch, very vanilla and crumb cake seam binding, blushing bride Stampin' Write marker, dimensionals

Beau Chateau Thank You

I have been waiting for a while for the Beau Chateau designer series paper for 2011-2012 and was so excited when it arrived yesterday on the big brown truck! I needed a thank you card and of course couldn't wait to dig into this pack. I created this card for my very best friend who gave me some amazing gifts for my birthday. BUT the most amazing gift is her friendship. She is an amazing person and I believe I am a better person because of her influence. Whenever I hear the song "For Good" from Wicked I think of our friendship. (click on the link and listen) I am truly blessed to have her in my life.

So anywhoo, I received this paper as well as a few other goodies that I ordered, but one of the most exciting is the Simply Scrappin' Kit - Tea Time. I normally don't order Scrappin' Kits but this one caught my eye right away and it is so beautiful. The great thing about the kits is that they come with everything you need to create scrapbook pages or many sets of coordinated cards/projects ( DSP, card stock, stickers, borders etc). You will see some shortly from this beautiful Tea Time set.

Stamps - Four Frames, Silouette Sentiments, Elements of Style

Ink - Marina Mist, Pink Pirouette, Soft Sable

Paper - Beau Chateau DSP, marina mist, crumb cake, whisper white card stock

Accessories - very vanilla seam binding, decorative label punch, oval die, dimensionals, vintage trinkets, Beau Chateau side notes
