Pearly Sparkles July Challenge ~ 3 of a Kind

Hi Crafty Friends,

Are you ready for July's Challenge at Pearly Sparkles?

Our challenge is "3 of a Kind."  How fun will that be?

Here's my project.

  My daughter requested a special sympathy card. I was inspired by a project we made during the

LaLa Land Crafts Make & Take held at my local scrapbook store.  Most of the dies and all of the stamps for this card are from LLLC.

This card fits in a standard business envelope.  There will be extra postage because I used lots of layers both outside and inside.  I love layering!

Did you find my 3 of a Kind?  I used 3 layered pointy flowers with Nuvo Drops centers.  The oval mat behind the angel was stenciled.  The marbled background is a LLLC background stamp.  The angel was stamped on heavy card stock and then fussy cut.

I hope you'll join in this month's challenge.  Just follow the link above.

Happy July and thanks for stopping by,

Cut it Up Challenge #203 ~ Celebrate Summer

Hi Crafty Friends,

Summer is here and the weather in northern California is definitely a testament to the season!

For our Cut it Up Challenge we are celebrating summer using some fun COLORS:

turquoise, yellow, hot pink, coral.  Let's see what you've got using any or all of these happy summer colors.

Here's my project using a cute svg POCKET file from our sponor,

The Cutting Cafe.

How cute is this?  I added stitching and this little duckling using LaLa Land Crafts clear stamps, You Lucky Duck and A Pocket Full.  I also used Jaded Blossom's Card Mat Dies and Border Dies and made my dimensional dots using Nuvo Crystal Drops.

By the way, if you haven't checked out Regina's files then you are truly missing out. Just a note - if you love PLANNERS, this is the website for you.  She has so many options.  You can create a planner for you exact needs and they're easy to print!

Don't have an electronic cutter?  She also provides PDF files than can be printed and hand-cut.

Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you'll join in the fun.

Birthday in Style

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today is my design team day on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

This card is 5 x 7 with several mat layers.

I used the following Jaded Blossom products:
Rectangle Internal Scallops
Mustache Dies
Mini Tag Dies 3
Border Dies
Birthday in Style (3x4)

The patterned papers are from Authentique.  I used a Gemini Jr. for the die cuts.

Cut it Up Challenge #202 ~ Perfect Pet

Hi Crafty Friends,

Our challenge at Cut it Up is PERFECT PET!

OK, confession time - I think the perfect pet is a dog BUT I just adore this stamp set from Jaded Blossom so I had to use it LOL!!!

I am in love with the cat scratches ♥

I colored the image using Copic markers and the cut the image using my Scan N Cut2.  The other elements on the card were cut using my Gemini Jr. - my go-to machine.

The card base and mat were cut using Jaded Blossom's NEWLY RELEASED Stylized Rectangle dies.  Aren't they fabulous??

The turquoise sprinkles were made using Nuvo drops.  I think I've finally mastered how to create my own "sprinkle" embellishments.

I hope you'll visit Cut it Up to see more Perfect Pet designs and then play along with us..

The prize for this challenge is provided by our sponsor,

Today's Jaded Blossom sneak peek is one more fabulous stamp set.

I just love these "all together" sets.  It makes it so easy to stamp on tags and cards.

I used the following products:

Scare the Germs Away (NEW)

Germ Stencil (NEW)

Luggage Tag Dies

Gable Box Die

Here's a look at our new stamp set.

Jaded Blossom JUNE Sneak Peek ~ Day 2

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to Day 2 of the Jaded Blossom June release sneak peek.

Today we are sharing a new stencil.

I used one of Jennifer McGuire's techniques using our new Germ Stencil. I used Distress Ink Oxide to ink up the paper and then laid the stencil on top.  Then I placed a baby wipe on the stencil and ran it through my Gemini Jr. (using the recommended plate sandwich) several times.  The baby wipe lifts some of the ink off of the embossed image.  I love embossing with stencils and JB stencils work really well for this process.

Here are the products I used for this gift:

Germ Stencil (NEW)

Watch Out for Cooties (NEW)

Cooties (NEW)

Flag Dies

Goody Bag Die
