Robot

Welcome to Challenge 29 at Papercraft Star!! This week it's all about color and aren't these some doozies?! I hardly ever find myself using bright colors but the great robot digi from Pink Cat Studio made it easier for sure!! I paired the image with some fun background papers and some turquoise twine. I think the space on the wee robot's chest would be perfect to stamp a number for a kid's birthday card or a heart if you were sending it to a loved one. Very versatile!

I'm looking forward to seeing your creations for this week's challenge and don't forget to vote for the winners starting this weekend! Have fun!

Supplies: Digital Stamp (Pink Cat Studio), DP/Accents - Little Robot Collection (MME), Twine (Lawnfawn), Copics, Foam Squares

Thanks

Today I'm sharing a card I made for week 3 of the Viva la Verve challenges - I can't believe I've kept up this well! I really love the way this card came out - the soft blues with the pop of red worked better that I expected they would! I paired an older set, American Hero, and a new set, To the Moon with some adorable Sassafras papers and some fun clouds and made a card I really love!

Supplies: Stamps - American Hero (Verve), DP - Cherry Delicious Collection (Sassafras), Ink - Soft Sky, Riding Hood Red (SU!), Edge Punch (Fiskars), Twine (PTI), Card Stock - Confetti (SU!), Ribbon (SU!), Die Cuts (PTI), Cuttlebug, Foam Squares

Bonjour

Today I'm happy to share a fun tag set I created with the new French Vintage set from Stampin' D'Amour! I just love the chic images Pamela created and included in this set! There's a bit of everything from iconic France like the Eiffel Tower and Marie Antoinette to fashionistas and fun sayings like "Bonjour" and "Ooh la la!" At 2.25 x 3.5, these fun tags are small enough to use as ATCs or as embellishments for scrapbook pages.

Supplies: Stamps - French Vintage (SDA), DP - Paris Nights (GDC Designs), Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Card Stock - Select Cream (PTI), Liquid Pearls, Foam Squares, Glue Pen/Glitter (Martha Stewart), Labels 10 (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug, Ribbon (Crafta)

J'adore

Hello and welcome to another fabby blog waltz featuring those of us who adore Waltzingmouse Stamps! Get it, adore...j'adore...okay, I'll stop. If you just happened by, head on over to the 'Mouse House to get started!

The theme of this month's Waltz is Valentine/Love and I have a pretty card to share with you that I made for my hubby for Valentine's Day! I used the Sweethearts set along with some cute American Crafts papers/Thickers, and tried faux stitching for the first time! I really like how it came out against the red hearts so just may have to try it again! I also made my own patterned paper using the cute bow and arrow image from the set! Another fun technique I know I need to try more! I have so many cute stamps that would make great background papers!

Supplies: Stamps - Sweethearts (WMS), DP/Thickers - Love Collection (American Crafts), Card Stock - Select White (PTI), Ink - Pretty in Pink, Riding Hood Red (SU!), Rickrack (Joann), Gel Pen, Foam Squares

Bundle of Joy

This is a fabby new card I made with some of my favorite Sassafras papers and a brilliant new set of stamps from Verve for the week 2 Viva la Verve and the new Diva Dare Baby Love challenges! I stamped the frame and then put the Copic-colored giraffe inside, fussy cut around it, and added a paper pieced scarf. I finished the card with some twine and a sentiment tag.

Supplies: Stamps - To the Moon (Verve), DP - Sweet Marmalade Collection (Sassafras), Card Stock - Select Cream (PTI), YoYo Yellow (SU!), Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Twine (PTI), Copic Markers, Tag Die (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug

Trust in the Lord

Here's a card I made for the Mojo Monday challenge. I've been following along with Mojo Monday for a while now but haven't had a chance to play very often. Here's to taking part a bit more in 2011!

This is one of my favorite verses lately - definitely hard to do sometimes - and I made this card to help remind me that, though I may not always understand, I always do trust that God knows what he's doing. :)

Supplies: Stamp - Plain Jane (Verve), DP - Once Upon a Springtime Collection (Graphic 45), Card Stock - Select White (PTI!), Ink - Old Olive (SU!), Pearls (Hero Arts), Die Cuts - Cuttlebug, Labels 10 (Spellbinders)

Live in the Moment

Here is a card I made for this month's Hero Arts contest. I had a lot of fun on their blog hop this week and was inspired to finally try the emboss resist technique! I love it every time I see it but since I'm not a big sponger, have been dragging my feet. Since I've promised myself to try new things this year, I went for it last night and am pretty happy with the results!

Supplies: Stamp - Cuckoo Sentiment, Vine Wreath, (Hero Arts), Card Stock - Select White (PTI), Ink - Perfect Plum, Pale Plum (SU!), Versamark, Pearls (Hero Arts), Embossing Powder (PTI), Ribbon (Michael's)
