The Craft's Meow - Day Three Previews!

 

Hello friends!  Today is day two of the new release previews with The Craft's Meow!  I'm so excited to share with you "Lovely Labels 14" designed by Elizabeta Kushner!  I adore stamps that will coordinate with my nesties and this set has labels and a lot of extra elements like these wonderful butterflies, sentiments, and words!

I started off with a pretty, yellow card base and then layered some patterned paper and a coordinating tag on top.  I stamped the label with the sentiment and a couple of butterflies on to some of the other papers from the collection.  I finished the card with some decorative buttons and some rhinestones!  

I hope you're enjoying what you're seeing today and I'll see you back here with a couple of sets - one will be the gift with purchase this month!

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), DP/Tag/Buttons - Neapolitan collection (American Crafts), Rhinestones (my stash), Twine (PTI), Labels 14 Dies (Spellbinders), Seam Binding (Studio Calico), foam squares, Cardstock - Barely Banana (SU!), Ink - Basic Black (SU!)

The Craft's Meow - Day Two Previews!

 

Hello friends and welcome to day two of the June release from The Craft's Meow!  Today we have two coordinating sets designed by Nina Brackett to preview - "Stitched Flowers" and "Stitched Sentiments."  I just adore the stitched look of the flowers and sentiments in these sets!

I stamped the large flower cluster from the set onto a piece of cream cardstock and then cut it out using my labels 4 dies.  I stamped the flowers again on some red patterned paper and then pieced them over the stems.  I layered some coordinating patterned papers and a patterned border that I threaded with some twine.  I finished the card with some twine and a threaded button and colored the leaves with Copic markers.  The "smiles" sentiment is from the sentiments set!

 

I made this coordinating tag with another sentiment from the sentiments set and the hydrangeas from the flower set.  I used my labels 4 dies again and pieced the flowers from patterned paper.  I finished the tag with a chipboard button and some butterfly stickers.

Thanks for visiting today and I'll see you back here tomorrow with a set that will coordinate with your Spellbinder dies!

The Craft's Meow - Day One Previews!

This is my second post of the day.  If you're looking for my Waltzingmouse Blog Party post, please scroll down.

Hello friends and welcome to day one of the fabulous new release at The Craft's Meow!  As usual, there are soooo many gorgeous stamps we've got to preview for you this week and two new guest designers - Larissa Heskett and Gayatri Murali!  I hope you have a chance to head over to their blogs and give them some love!  First up for stamps this month is a wonderful new set called "God's Blessings" designed by Karen Baker!

 

I stamped a piece of patterned paper from my May Studio Calico kit with the big flourishes and a sentiment from the set.  I then layered a couple of sun-shaped die cuts and stamped the cross on each.  I layered those die cuts with some foam in the middle for some dimension - came out very cool!  I finished the card with some butterfly stickers and a few tiny pearls.

Thanks for visiting today and I sure hope you've been enjoying the previews today from the DT - I always find their creations so inspiring!!  I'll see you back here tomorrow with two new sets designed by Nina Brackett!

Just for You

 

Hello friends and welcome to blog party day with Waltzingmouse Stamps!  If you've never heard of it, I encourage you to head over to the Waltzingmouse blog to get started!  This month we have an inspiration photo and I based this tag on the colors!

 

I started with a large shipping tag and layered orange and turquoise papers on top, stamped a label with two sets that literally just came in the mail that morning, layered them all together then gave it a hefty spritz of tattered angels.  I finished the tag with some butterflies I fussy cut from another sheet of the coordinating paper, some tiny rhinestones and a grey vintage button.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I look forward to partying along with all of you!

Best Husband

Hello friends!  I hope you are enjoying the start of your weekends!  Today I'm planning for a "what I want to do today" day which may run the gamut from grocery shopping to gardening with some crafty time thrown in.  Tomorrow we continue the house search in a little suburban town we don't know much about.  Looking forward to it!!

Today I'm happy to share with you this week's new sketch at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge by fabby MM, Edna - 

I flipped the sketch on its side and stamped a medallion from Faux Fun Circles, Flourishes, and Compact Family.  I layered the medallion over a journaling card and two banners from Elle's Studio and finished the card with some pretty, red baker's twine.

Thanks for visiting today!!

Hello friends!  Today I have a quick post to share this card with you that is currently featured in the June issue of Cards Magazine!

Hello friends!  This is the second post I have for today where I'm showcasing projects I made for the May Arts design team call!  I'm sure you can see just how yummy this ribbon is from the card and the tag I'm showing here!

The card above was made with some patterned papers and chipboard elements all wrapped in a giant, silk bow!  I finished the card with some May Arts twine, some feathers, and a vintage button.

For the tag, I used a background paper with a peacock feather pattern and some real peacock feathers tied up in that fun gingham ribbon!  I layered some coordinating paper, fussy cut, and chipboard elements to finish the tag.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my projects this evening!  I'll be back on Thursday with a card featured in the June issue of Cards Magazine!
