Last one for Sweet Stampin'!

Hi there! This is my last week guest designing over at Sweet Stampin'; I have so enjoyed the challenges! This week, our focus is "A Little Bird Told Me", meaning your project must contain a bird - I actually already had a card designed BUT why rest on your laurels, right? ;) Instead, I created a card with a stamp set and matching dies I've had for quite some time and have never used! O.o

Yeah, they call this hoarding - LOL!

Before we get to the card, let's talk about prizes, who doesn't love prizes? This week we are sponsored by Crafty Ribbons AND the monthly sponsor  is The Ribbon Girl, win a £10 voucher.

OK, on to the craftiness! I love this little set from PTI, Little Bitty Bird, the best part? The two birds on the front were created with washi tape - red chevron and red and white polka dot! I embossed the birds with clear embossing powder after stamping with SU! Black Craft, I mounted the birds with dimensionals. The layout is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #200 (SSSC200). I also decorated the inside with some matching DP and a bit more stamping; love the sentiment, "everyday is a new opportunity to make a new happy ending."

The red gems on the flag are nail heads from Ladybug Crafts Ink, something new and different! 

Be sure to take some time and join the fun at Sweet Stampin', we love seeing your creations!

White + 1

Hi there! This week at Sweet Stampin' we are playing with white plus 1 other color! I love this "Kisses" image from Penny Black...don't tell, but she's been blowing kisses at me for awhile and I've been ignoring her!

No more, I pulled her out and thought she'd be fun to dress up! But before we get to that, let's talk about what YOU can win just for playing along! This week we are sponsored by Stamp Fairy AND the monthly sponsor is The Ribbon Girl, win a £10 voucher.

OK, back to sweet Kisses! I stamped her on Copic Xpress It paper and colored in some red accents. Then for the fun! I stamped the skirt on vellum and cut out, it is adhered only at the waist. I then added white enamel dots to her skirt and top (and flowers in her hair) and then below her skirt for the "ruffle", I added puffy stuff and chunky glitter, let it dry, then zapped with the heat gun to puff it up - so cute IRL (well, I think so).

I added some doodling around the edges, some Doodlebug Sprinkles and MME enamel dots, and mounted on PTI Pure Poppy card stock.

OK, let's stop right there and everyone who is doing last minute Christmas shopping...raise your hand. Oh yes, I see you and you and you and you and you! HA! Me too - we still have some to do ourselves. But hey, we have 11 more days, plenty of time right!?!

And you know how it goes, play along for your chance to win - and the best part? There's not just ONE chance to win, but TWO!! This week, we are sponsored by Cuddly Buddly with a chance to win a £10 voucher and then the monthly sponsor is The Ribbon Girl, win a £10 voucher.

For this week's card, I used this fabulous birdhouse image from Ladybug Crafts Ink. Kerry's Christmas images are just divine! I paired it with some totally non-traditional DP by MME, some sewing - and you KNOW I had to add puffy stuff and rock candy for some snow. I also covered all the berries with a clear Wink of Stella pen - oh, I love me some sparkle and shimmer - too bad you can't see it in the photos, but it looks delightful IRL. I roughed up the edges after sewing and added some chevron washi tape - LOVE!!

I used MFT's "You Are Unrepeatable" for my image, colored with Copics and water color pencils and then piled on some seam binding from Verve Visual- yummy colors!!! There are 6 loops on that bow, can ya count 'em? LOL I tied them and then spritzed with some water for a bit of a scrunchy/wrinkly look.
