Pretty Kitty

Hello there, lovelies!

I am playing along with the Paper Smooches Challenge today!

This month's theme is "Black and White with a Pop of Color".

I've already played it once earlier this month, but it is such a fun theme, I couldn't resist!

Don't you agree that inspirations are everywhere!?

My kids have so many plushy blankets, and one of them has paw prints all over it. For some reason that gave me this design...*LOL* 

I chose Soft Sky as my pop of color because I wanted to give my pretty white kitty blue eyes. I die cut this pretty feline twice in Whisper White and Basic Black, then die cut just his head twice in Soft Sky and Blushing Bride to get his eyes and nose. I gave him a pretty bow in Soft Sky also ;-)

I die cut the Whisper White cardstock with the Wonky Stitches die, then with the paw print 3 times. It was mounted on black and white stripes patterned paper. 

I also die cut "meow" in Soft Sky then brushed over it with my trusty clear glitter pen.

It really didn't take me all that long to make this modern card.

I am pretty happy with how it turned out! ;-)

My notes...

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, Typeset SDSP

Ink: Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen

Accessory: Soft Sky 1/8" Ribbon

Tool: Cat Icons Wise Die (Paper Smooches), Wonky Stitches Elle-ment Die (Avery Elle), Newton Unwinds Die (Newton's Nook Designs)

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy Birthday

Hello there, happy hump day!

So I have this friend in Japan, we have been besties since 11th grade! Even though we don't get to see each other, thanks to all these technologies, we're still connected! We also send each other birthday gifts, she gets what she can't get in Japan, I get what I can't get here in the US... Her birthday is coming up, it's on St. Patrick's day. It is not celebrated in Japan (for obvious reasons...lol) but I still use green and gold on her cards!

How could I not play along with Sparkle and Shine when they're offering the exact colors I need!? 

I am also playing along with the Paper Smooches Challenge, it's birthday!

I think this card is so my bestie!!! :-D

Paper Smooches had their 5th anniversary (congrats!!!), I took advantage of their sale and got this gorgeous hibiscus die that I had my eye on! I die cut the flower twice in Gold Foil Sheet and Watercolor Paper, water colored with Gumball Green then popped them out, nested them inside the gold outline. The hibiscus kind of looks like a clover, doesn't it!?

The sentiment was die cut 4 times, one in gold, the other three in Gumball Green. They were mounted on top of each other slightly off so the green peeks out underneath the gold ;-)

I added some green and gold sequins in between the vellum and the Crumb Cake DSP, then they were sewn together. I can't sew straight anyway, but this time I actually tried to make wonky stitches! *hee hee* 

My notes...

Paper: Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Gold Foil Sheet, Watercolor Paper, Neutral DSP Stack, Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack

Ink: Gumball Green

Accessory: Metallic Gold Thread, 4mm Gold and Shamrock Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh)

Tool: Hibiscus Wise Die (Paper Smooches), Happy Birthday Border Lawn Cut (Lawn Fawn), Sewing Machine

Hello there!

Hope your week is going well :-)

Today I have this card I made for the monthly challenge over at Paper Smooches. 

January challenge is to use 4 colors!

You can use any 4 colors, or pick from the photo above...

Here is my take...

My pick of 4 colors were orange, green, blue, and pink.

So what I did here is, I die cut 2 mason jars, sewed the sides and bottom together, added some tiny clear heart confetti and 2 die cut stems inside, sealed the top by sewing. 

I tried, but I could not sew straight to save my life! LOL Good thing wonky stitches are in right now...lol

I used 2 shades of orange for my beautiful roses. I die cut this beauty in Tangerine Tango and More Mustard cardstock, Sweater Weather and Summer Smooches DSP. The leaves were die cut in Gumball Green cardstock and Summer Smooches DSP

The sentiment was die cut twice so they could be layered for a little dimension. 

I didn't want to add another color so I used the Sparkling Clear Sequins for my bling factor ;-)

My notes...

Paper: Whisper White, Gumball Green, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, In-Color 2013-2015 DSP Stack, Summer Smooches DSP, Sweater Weather DSP, Blue Vellum (Studio Calico)

Accessory: Sparkling Clear Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh), Tiny Clear Heart Confetti (Martha Stewart)

Tool: Roses, Crystal Clear, Kudos Words Wise Dies (Paper Smooches), Sewing Machine
