She Stood in the Storm...

Happy Friday!! I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! It's my turn again to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have one more Awareness project with you featuring dies from Die-Versions July Awareness Release. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Awareness dies will be donated to cancer research.

For this card, I used the Die-Versions Whispers Fight It die. It was heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle Lana Pink Embossing Powder. The ribbon was then cut out and heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle Cotton Candy Embossing Powder. The sentiment was cut from the Me and My Big Ideas I Believe in Pink paper and popped up with foam tape. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from Diana's DLART Vintage Vineyard Bundle titled Pink Champagne. The button on the ribbon is a Wee Petites Buttons die.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Find the Cure

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions Blog and I have a shaker card to share with you today. Hopefully you were able to join us for the Die-Versions / Sparkle N Sprinkle Awareness Blog Hop earlier this month. If you did, you saw some amazing projects using the new Awareness dies from Die-Versions and the new Awareness Stamp Set from Sparkle N Sprinkle. My card today features products from both.

For my card, I've used the Die-Versions Awareness Square Die, and turned it into a shaker. The papers are from Me and My Big Ideas I Believe In Pink Mambi stack. The center ribbon was cut out and heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle Cotton Candy Embossing Powder. Find the Cure is from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Awareness Stamp Set.

Here's a better picture of the amazing shine from the SNS Embossing Powder. The lacy border along the bottom is a Die-Versions Whispers Lacey Dots die. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from Diana's DL.ART Vintage Vineyard set titled Rose'. The button in the center of the ribbon is a Die-Versions Wee Petites Button die.

A portion of the proceeds from the Die-Versions Awareness Dies and the Awareness Stamp Sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle will be donated to help cancer research.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Sweet Friend!!

Happy Friday!! Wow, another week down...where do the days go? I have a couple of cards to share with you using some gorgeous new crinkle ribbon made by my sweet friend Diana of DL.ART!! Most of you know I have a slight obsession with crinkle ribbon, so I was so excited when Diana started making it!! If you haven't checked out her new line of ribbon, you're missing out!! You can see all of the amazing colors HERE. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and the quality is excellent!! You will love using this ribbon :)

For these cards, I'm using ribbon from Diana's Tropical Summer bundle. I started with Tim Holtz Distress Specialty Stamping Paper. I heat embossed the stamp from Tim's Papillion stamp set with White Embossing Powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle. The Eiffel Tower is a LaLa Land die, covered with TH Distress Glitter. I cut black craft foam and offset it to give the tower a shadow and some dimension (thanks again for the craft foam tip, Anne!!).

For this card, I used TH Distress Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA and then inked with Walnut Distress Ink.

This gorgeous ribbon is called Aruba Blue. Isn't the color fabulous??!! The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps, and it was stamped on a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklet 1 die. I used the TH embossing folder that matches the background stamp on the inside of the card.

For this card, I used Distress Inks in Fired Brick, Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade. Cherry Lynn Right and Left Flourish dies were used beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. Another Just Rite sentiment was stamped on a LaLa Land Stitched Elements tag. This stunning ribbon is called Caribbean Coral.

I am entering these in the following challenges:

1. DL.ART - August Linky
2. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Tie It Up
3. Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
4. Little Scrap Pieces - Show It Off Saturday
5. 2 Creative Chicks - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful weekend :)

Scrapy Land Challenge #23 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday :) I hope you are having a fabulous start to August!! It's time for another fun challenge at Scrapy Land and it's everyone's favorite: Anything Goes using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries (there are over 40 brands to choose from!!) You could win a $15 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land!!

I just got a batch of new dies from SL and I couldn't wait to use them :)

I started with the new Elizabeth Crafts Bricks Background die. I used my new favorite technique to add dimension, craft foam. Thanks to my sweet design team sister Anne for introducing this method to me...I love it!! I cut the bricks first with the foam and then in cardstock. The bricks are covered with a Spellbinders D-Lites Ivy die. The sentiment is from Kaisercraft's Script Word Die...

...as is the sentiment on this one. The birdhouse, birdbath, birds and grass are from Elizabeth Crafts Design's Susan's Garden Woods 2 die set. The butterflies are from Die-Versions Garden Gazebo die set.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) DL.ART - August Linky
2) Little Scrap Pieces - Show it Off Sunday
