Make a Wish

Happy Thursday everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!! Only two days left in February...I hope March is much better to us weather-wise :)

I wanted to enter a couple of challenges so I created a springy birthday card to add to my stash :)

The papers are from Ruby Rock-It's Arcadia stack and were attached with Score Tape. The edges were distressed with a Zutter Distress-It-All and then inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Two sizes of Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles Large were cut with papers from my stash. They were sanded with a TH sander and each layer was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The tag is a TH Tiny Tabs and Tags die. The pearl swirls are from Want 2 Scrap and I snipped and manipulated them along the side of the card. The ribbon is from May Arts and the Chalk White Seam Binding was colored with TH Spun Sugar Distress Stain. Make a Wish is a TH Remnant Rub - I am addicted to these right now...I'm rubbing them on everything :)

A Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle die was used for the sentiments from JustRite Stamps Grand Sentiments stamp set. It was stamped with Versafine in Black Onyx.

The butterfly is a Spellbinders Wonderful Wings die. It was stamped with the coordinating stamp from the JustRite Grand Sentiment set in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. The antennae were created with beads from my stash. The top layer was attached to the base with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen along the center, leaving the wings unattached.

I used the Classy Cards 'n Such color palette for this card:

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! I can't believe February is almost over. I swear, this year is absolutely flying by. My three year blogaversary is coming up in a couple of weeks - wow, three years!! I will be having a giveaway to celebrate so be on the lookout for a chance to win :)

I have a project to share with you today re-purposing a glass jar. I love the shape of this jar...it used to hold my favorite Marzetti Gorgonzola Salad Dressing that I can't find in the stores anymore :(

I covered the jar in Ranger Glue and Seal and then wrapped it with white tissue paper. Once it was dry, it was brushed with Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Stain and Ink. The flowers were inked with the Spun Sugar as well.

I love this stamp from Glitz. I purchased the Afternoon Muse stamp set specifically for this stamp a couple of years ago and then never got around to using it. I stamped it with Versafine Onyx ink on tissue paper and added it to the jar with Glue and Seal.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. 2 Creative Chicks - Repurpose Glass
2. Little Scrap Pieces - Anything Goes

Decorate to Celebrate #69 - 3D Flowers or Birthday

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a great week!! It's slowly warming up here...we are supposed to hit 60 tomorrow!! Woohoo!! It's time for another challenge at Decorate to Celebrate!! For Challenge #69 we are asking you to make 3D Flower or Birthday Decorations :)

For this challenge, I created a flowery hat box and flower earrings.

I made this a couple of months ago and forgot to write down the measurements on how I made the hat box and I've already sent this off. I do remember it was made with strong cardboard and covered with paper from Heartfelt Creations.

The stamp on the top is from Heartfelt Creations Moments With You stamp set. It was cut out with a Spellbinders Standard Circles large and colored with Tim Holtz Distress Markers. The circle of gems is from Want 2 Scrap. The flowers are Spellbinders Tattered Blossoms, stamped with the coordinating stamps from Heartfelt Creations.

The earrings were stamped and cut with the same Tattered Blossoms dies and stamps. They were then dipped into Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel that was melted in my Ranger Melt Art Melting Pot.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - February Linky
2. Every Day is an Occasion - February Linky
3. Just B Creative Crazy - February Linky

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Decorate to Celebrate to see the amazing projects my talented design team sisters have created for today's challenge. Then link up your 3D Flower or Birthday project...I can't wait to see what you create :)
