TAWS be inspired challenge

Wednesday, May 22, 2013


Hi there! I am playing a new challenge, TAWS be inspired challenge 28 by The Alley Way Stamps:-) Boy, do they have cute and whimsical stamps! 
I saw this card posted on Freshly Made Sketches that used The Alley Way Stamps awhile ago and that's how I found this company.


This is the inspiration photo for this challenge, I LOVE the soft colors and ruffles! 


SO that's what I tried to recreate here by using the Tasteful Trims Bigz Die with Whisper White, Blushing Bride, and the new Smokey Slate.


That cute birdie and the sentiment are free download from The Alley Way Stamps.


My notes...
Stamp set: The Alley Way Stamps Free Download
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Smokey Slate
Tool: Tasteful Trims Bigz Die, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Sympathy Card

Tuesday, May 21, 2013


This is a card I made upon my husband's request weeks ago. Sympathy cards are not my favorite thing to make (not that it's anyone's, really..), but it's part of life, right?


I stamped the tree from the Thoughts and Prayers set on the whisper white card stock, then again on the Vellum card stock so the image on the whisper white card stock looks like a shadow.


I used the Silver Mini Brads to keep the Vellum in place.
And that's it, I wanted to keep it very simple.

My notes...
Stamp set: Thoughts and Prayers
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Vellum
Ink: Basic Gray, Jet Black Stazon 
Accessory: Silver Mini Brads
Tool: Paper-Piercing Tool and Mat

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Naki and Nina's Double Dare Challenge 26

Saturday, May 11, 2013

Welcome to another Double Dare Challenge!
Sorry about missing last week, I had to take a little road trip and was busier than I thought I was going to be!


Use retiring stamp sets/accessories


Stripes


I honestly didn't know what to make, then my husband asked me to make a sympathy card for one of his clients... I really don't like making one of these, but that's life, right...
The retiring item I used on this card is the Baja Breeze 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon. I am really really going to miss my Baja Breeze!


This card is really simple and takes no time to make:-) A sympathy card should be subtle, but still can be pretty and have some colors:-) I think Baja Breeze and Basic Gray worked perfectly, and the stripes added a nice touch, don't you think?


My notes...
Stamp set: Thoughts and Prayers
Paper: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Subtles Designer Series Paper Stacks
Ink: Basic Gray
Accessory: Baja Breeze 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon


Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Now don't forget to visit Nina's blog, I know she's made something fabulous as usual;-)
