Happy New Home

This week with Kraftin Kimmie Amanda has challenged us to create a Spring themed card!


I chose to use this sweet image from Cheryl Alger’s Springtime Lulu set.

I used pretty, new Buttercup paper by Lily Bee Designs, using Copics to color my image to match.

You can check out the challenge details and more samples HERE on the Krafty Blog.  If you’d like to play along, be sure to post a link to your creation there on the Krafty Blog for your chance to win a free Rose stamp as used today by Amanda!

Also, Kimmie’s big moving sale is still going on!  You can check that out HERE.

MFT Previews, Day 4

Hi everyone!  I’m back today for Day 4 of May previews with My Favorite Things!  Today the team is sharing samples using Vertical Greetings II and Girly Graphic Tee Stamp and Die-namics set.  They’re both so much fun, I have a sample of each.  🙂

Here is the new Girly Graphic Tee set.  SO much fun!  I die-cut the shirt from pink “patterned” paper and layered it atop a tee die-cut from tablet backing. I stamped the sentiment then adhered the shirt using foam tape.  Along the bottom I placed a strip of Simply Scallops, then added lots of sparkly bling.  (I hate that sparkly things don’t always show so well in photos.)  Cardstock is Black Licorice.

On the inside I used a sentiment from More Essential Sentiments.  (This card is already on its way…I think you can guess where.)  😉

My second sample uses Vertical Greetings II.   I die-cut one piece for the sentiment from Whip Cream cardstock, then die-cut a second piece from tablet backing.  I cut the tablet backing in half, using each half to create a border at the top and bottom edges of the sentiment piece.  I also used new Mini Royal Roses, Leafy Flourish and Simply Scallops Die-namics.  I used Kraft cardstock for the card base, flourish and scallops.

I left lots of room for a personal note on the inside, stamping only a couple of flourishes from Sassy & Sweet along the sides.
