Long Weekend Crafting...

Things are slowing down just a bit and I have had some time to sit and use some of my newer stamps and dies.  Here is a card I made using some Papertrey Ink from their last release.

I die cut the butterfly using some raspberry shimmer paper (it's hard to tell from the photo and it looks so much prettier in person).  The sentiment is from the Wet Paint III stamp set.  Yes, there are three of these types of sets and they are all my current favorites!

I added some raspberry twine and a moonshine sequin to finish it off.  Love this color combo!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your long weekend!

Twine Flowers & A New Day

For my Project Thursday this time around - I wanted to feature some of the great sentiments that

are available in the New Day Stamp Set...

I had made up some of these twine flowers and they were screaming to be used in a project!

I just added a little brad to the center and fastened them to the card and then added the sentiment.

Easy and fun.

I can see lots more of these flowers popping up in future projects!

Here is the whole set - get it HeRe at Precious Remembrance Shop Stamps!

Release Day!

Today is release day for the newest stamp set from Precious Remembrance Stamps...

New Day 

It is chocked full of great sentiments loaded with inspiration.

I love the mixed fonts in each one.

I kept my card very simple to match the simplicity statement on the sentiment I used.

My only addition to the designer paper are a few flat round sequins. 

Make sure you stop by the Precious Remembrance Blog and check out the other design

team member's creations with this set.  They are a very talented group of ladies and 

always have amazing projects to share!

Retro Sketch Challenge...#105

It's been a while since I have participated in a card challenge.  While going through my emails tonight I came across the new Retro Sketches challenge and thought I'd try and put something together.  It's a nice CAS layout and that's just what I needed.  

I got some new Technique Tuesday stamps - Everyday Words and have been itching to use them.  

I used some American Crafts - My Girl paper, a big blue button, some peach twine, and a piece of a miniature paper doily.  Love how it turned out!

Love...

Valentine's Day has passed us by, but this card could be used for lots of other "special" days.  

It's a pretty simple card, but I love how it turned out.

Reverse Confetti Sketch Challenge

I put this card together the other night for the Reverse Confetti 

Sketch for You to Try Challenge over on their blog.

I liked the CAS layout and although I don't have any of their stamps yet, I do have 

the Tag Me die set.

I made the tag from watercolor paper and painted the center of the tag with some red watercolor

paing.  Then I added a couple of die cut hearts and - in my own handwriting - added

"love" to the card.

Usually if I make cards around Valentine's Day, I make a card that will also pass for an anniversary or a just because card.
