Betsy's Blossom

This week over at Create with Connie and Mary the ladies have a fantastic sketch challenge.  I decided to use the Betsy's Blossom Stamp Set along with one of the Floral Frames Framelits for my card.  I also wanted to use a color combo that was a bit outside my comfort zone so I chose Melon Mambo, Midnight Muse and Lucky Limeade.  To finish it off I added some Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine & a dahlia.

Postage Due

For this week's Saturday Challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary the ladies have a fantastic sketch challenge.  I decided to use the Postage Due Stamp Set.  I simply colored the stamp and cut it out using a Label Collection Framelit.  I finished it off with a natural button and a Baker's Twine bow colored with Classic Ink.

Oval Accent Favor Box

Today over at Create with Connie and Mary the Saturday challenge was to make something fun using the new dies or framelits from the catalog.  I had a lot of fun with this.  I decided to make a small favor box.  I simply made my 3 in. x 3 in. x 1 1/2 in. box using Baja Breeze Card Stock.  Next, I cut out two Rich Razzleberry Oval Accents and scored each one on the right side.  Then using Sticky Strip I attached them to each side of the box.  The flaps were folded and attached to the bottom of the box as well.  I couldn't just stop with the new Oval Accent, so I also added a flower from the Floral Frames Framelits underneath my pinwheel as an extra layer.  I added my bamboo skewer as a stick for my pinwheel and finished it off with a Vintage Faceted Button and butterfly.  I also have to admit that I would not normally like or use DSP this bold, but WOW...I love this Floral District DSP.  It is so cheerful and bright.  I can't wait to use it again!

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the fabulous design team came up with.  Have a great weekend.

Everything Eleanor

This week over at Create with Connie and Mary the ladies have a fabulous sketch challenge for you.  I really love this sketch because you can keep it simple or fancy it up a bit.  I had to use one of my new favorite stamp sets...Everything Eleanor.  The flowers are stamped in Midnight Muse and then I colored them in a bit with my Summer Starfruit Stampin' Write Marker.  I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter to the centers as well.  The butterfly was punched out using the new Elegant Butterfly Punch and I added a new Vintage Faceted Designer Button to it.  To finish the card off, I added a strip of the new Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon which I love.
