Friendship

I always say here's a card that isn't normally my style and I find myself that that more and more. I don't think I really have a specific style anymore I just like to create!! On the base I used the Manhattan Flower embossing folder and then sprayed it with some shimmer spray. I used the set Four Frames for the main image. I watercolored the roses and then added the friend saying to the center of the frame. Then I added different cardstock colors to tie it all in together and some Cherry Cobbler seam binding! And it needed a little more bling so I added a few rhinestones. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin' Addicts Saleabration Blog Hop - One Big Sale-A-Bration CD (My Digital Studio)

Welcome to Stampin' Addicts Sale-a-bration Blog Hop where you will find all kinds of creative ways to use your new Sale-a-bration Stamp Sets, My Digital Studio CD's and fun embellishments! Stop by and let us know what you think about the hop!!

If you are hoping in order you just came from Mickey's site Paper Conversation where she showed off some super cool ideas using the set Language of Friendship ... I'm not a big bird fan but boy were those cute!!

Today I will be sharing some projects I made using the One Big Sale-A-Bration My Digital Studio Cd. I had a lot of fun playing with this set and using all the different things available on this Cd!!

This card is almost all made using only my MDS but I did make into a hybrid card ... I have this thing where I just need dimension!! I created the top layer in MDS by using the set Sprinkled Expressions using the stars and smile saying, then some of the accessories from the Everyday Enchantment pack, (the brad and ribbon). I then printed it out and layered it with some basic black cardstock as well lucky limeade and daffodil delight. Of course it needed a bit of sparkle so I added iridescent ice to all the stars which made them a little darker. The finished card measures 5 x 5 1/2.

Another hybrid card!! For this card I used the set Fresh Vintage and created the image in several shapes and colors .... I love calypso coral with neutral tones!! I printed that out and layered it with basic black cardstock then attached it to a calypso coral base. I added some ruffled ribbon and stamped my saying which I punched and layered using my circle punches. Easy Peasy!! This finished card is the standard size.

This is the last hybrid card I created and I wanted to recreate the door showing off the Home Sweet Home decor element stamp. Of course a door is not complete without those packages that Mr. Brown drops off for us!! I used the set Workshop Words to make the one big box and just some soft suede to make the smaller boxes. This card measures 4 1/4 x 3.

My last project I made a 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook page. This one was pretty easy just used several "sheets" of Everyday Enchantment DSP and added a few Everyday Enchantment accessories. Popped in a few pictures and bam it's done!!

If you want to see more ideas using this wonderful my digital studio CD just wait until you see the projects Deb has in store for you on her site Heartfelt Inkspiration!! Happy Stamping!!

Throwback Thursday - Stipple Butterfly

Here's an old stamp set but still one of my favorites ... stipple butterfly. First I want to say in real life these colors go together MUCH better than in this photograph. I just couldn't get the colors to be more true to color. This is a really simple card just embossed with black ep then sponged different shades to create the mutli colors. Of course it need a little bit of shimmer and shine so I added iridescent ice around the edges of the butterfly. Layered it with some cardstock and a couple of rhinestone brads and we were good to go! Happy Stamping!!

Vintage Roses

For this card I used You Are Loved that was in the Holiday mini, I really like this set and hopefully it will make into the big catty in June! I stamped the main image with markers so I could get both colors and then added some iridescent ice to make it sparkle a bit! I used the coordinating wheel Love Blossoms to create the "dsp" piece. I also ran the base through the big shot using the Frame Tulips EF to give it some dimensions and then sponged the raised edges. Lastly add a bit of ribbon and some coordinating cardstock to pull it all together!!Happy Stamping!!

Flowery Hello

Occasionally I liked to make cards that are a slightly different size than the standard and usually this is because I have a large odd shaped scrap piece sitting on my desk begging to be used and this card was one of those. The card measures 3x4. I used the set Printed Petals for this springy card (is winter over yet??). I love love these colors together, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist ... yummy! And as always I had to add some more texture so I used my elegant lines embossing folder on the base!! Happy Stamping!

Convention Tag 2011

This was the tag I made to hang off my convention bag for 2011. There is so many demonstrators there with the same bag so I always make a tag for myself and those I am rooming with! I personalized them all with our initials. I also added a felt felt butterfly I cut out using the Beautiful Butterflies die since I have a thing for butterflies. Then I had to add some bling to I used the glass glitter around the edges and of course a bow!! Happy Stamping!!

Button Button

I still have a bunch of projects I created last year to show off so I will be sharing them in between some of my other new projects! This was a card I made for Sandy's workshop. It's really simple but it really stands out. I used the set Button Button which has lots of fun images that coordinate with our buttons. I used several layers for this card and of course I used my petals of plenty embossing folder to add some dimension. Embossing Folders are my favorite big shot tool! On the flower image I used the rock and roll technique. Happy Stamping!!
