Paper Sweeties Sketch Inspiration #11

Hi Friends-

Hope all is well-it's Friday :), Yahoo!!

The "Paper Sweeties" Design Team has a challenge sketch going right now-check it out! If you don't know about Paper Sweeties, then you must check them out. Debbie is the owner, and she has created some really "sweet" stamps and now coordinating dies for the little girls and boy stamps! Very fun to create with!
This months sketch is simple and fun to create with, but-hurry, I can't believe September is almost over-Wowah!

 

I decided, since Halloween is just around the corner, to create a card with a little witch. I used "Paper Sweeties "Abigail" to create my witch, and I colored her with my copics.

 

 

Recipe:

Papers: Authentique Collection-"Thrilling," Papertrey Ink-"Cardstock."

Stamp and Die-"Paper Sweeties," EK Success Border Punch

Misc.: Seam Binding, Twine

 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day-

Shabby Chic-Challenge #80 (RRR)

Hello Friends-

I hope this sunny (well it is here in California), brings you a cheerful day! I played around last night with my ribbon (what's new) and some lace, to put together a shabby chic card for Really Reasonable Ribbons blog challenge.

They are challenging us to use a shabby chic style and ribbon. I am excited about this challenge, as it's right up my alley! :) Love this look!

So, here is my take:

 

I made my flower out of canvas and a Tim Holtz die "Tattered Florals."

Recipe:

 Paper: Simple Stories-"Harvest Lane," Papertrey Ink-"cardstock and Ripe Avocado check."

Misc: Polka Dot Tulle, Twine, Buttons, Vintage Lace, Seam Binding, Felt (PTI), Doily, Antique Brad (Stampin' Up)

 

I hope you enjoyed, have a great Monday and Happy Crafting-

TSTR-"The White Challenge"-#184

Happy Monday Friends-

I am so excited, today is the first of many challenges on the DT for The Shabby Tea Room! I have been anticipating and waiting anxiously to show you my first project!

For this weeks challenge, Debbie provided this fabulous photo for inspiration.

She asked us to use this inspiration photo and to create a card or project using "white/cream/natural and twine.

I had so many ideas rolling around in my head, that I made a card and a candy favor cone.

Drum roll (please) :)

Here is my card:

 

I don't always decorate the inside of my cards, but, because I had so many options to choose from for sentiments from our sponsor (info. below), that I just had to add more! :) 

 

Recipe:

"My Time Made Easy- Hauntingly Homemade Labels, Hauntingly Homemade Sentiments."

Papertrey Ink cardstock, Hand died Seam Binding Ribbon, Twine and Memory Box Dies, Martha Stewart web punch.

 

I have been wanting to make a candy favor cone for a while now, and this was the perfect time! I loved making this, and can't wait to fill it with goodies!

 

Recipe:

"My Time Made Easy- Hauntingly Homemade Labels, Hauntingly Homemade Sentiments, Scraps of Various papers, burlap, twine and seam binding ribbons of various colors.

 

Both of these projects were such fun to create, and I loved working with our sponsor this weeks digital images!

 

Our sponsor this week is "My Time Made Easy."

 

 

Lauren carries some amazing cut files, acrylic and digital stamps, digital papers, and templates. Make sure to check her out!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 176 ~ Daisy Daisy..... (of a bicycle build for two)

Hey There Friends-

Hope all is well. I have been very busy creating projects (some which I can't show yet), and choosing challenge themes and inspiration photos for upcoming months during my DT term at The Shabby Tea Room.

Today, I want to share a card I made for City Crafter's Challenge. The theme this week is to use a bicycle on your project. This is the inspiration photo!

 

I love all the details of this bike, with all the scrolls in the wheel and basket. The flowers are soooo pretty!

 

So here is my take on this fun challenge this week!

I used my PTI stamp and matching die "Pedal Pusher" to cut the bicycle out (Love this set)! For the papers, I used MME "Follow Your Heart-Be Amazing" 4x4 paper pad. I used "Melon" seam binding ribbon and twine. The cute little "hello" tag is a punch and stamp set "Tiny Tags" from Stampin' Up.

This little card took me on a little trip back in time, as I was creating it! I used to spend hours riding my bike as a child-loved it!

Thanks for stopping by-enjoy your day-
Heidi
