Mr and Mrs

I've had a really great crafting weekend this weekend, the creative juices are still running! I made 2 more cards last night for a publication submission and submitted them way before the due date (this is a record for me)! I had so much fun doing them last night that I forgot I was going to do one for the Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop this weekend and it is due in less than 3 hours! Yikes! So first thing this morning, before a shower or breakfast, I made this card with a cup of tea by my side! I also based the sketch on the current Fusion challenge. Thanks for dropping by... I'm off to have breakfast and a shower!

Ingredients

Cardstock - Neenah Natural White, Solar White

Paper - Basic Grey True Love 12x12

Stamps - PTI The Sweet Life and Big Bold Wishes

Ink - PTI Winter Wisteria, Autumn Rose, Lavender Moon, Simply Chartreuse and Pinefeather

Die - Doily Dies English Tea Party

Paper Rose

My creative juices have been running on overdrive! I've been dying to make this card all week ever since I saw the paper piecing video by Melissa on Nicole Heady's Make It Monday. I was also waiting for my Ellen Hutson order for the Hero Arts medallion embossing folder. This arrived on Thursday and here is my creation. I'm also submitting this card to CASE study #142. I'm using Flickr for the first time to link photos on my blog. Hope it looks OK! For those wondering about my Kaisercraft DT call - I've just submitted 2 cards, 2 layouts and an OTP project last week. The projects are due in on Monday 28th, so I got them off early. The cards were very easy to do as the papers were very nice, but the layouts were a bit of a challenge, hope the judges like them! I made a series of Christmas tags for the OTP project as I figured they were easier to package and send off with the layouts. Nervously awaiting the next email! Thanks for dropping by!

Turning 18

This is my third entry to Paper Crafts Gallery Idol 2013 (only 3 allowed per person). I needed to make an 18th birthday card for my niece and was waiting for my new Paper Smooches stamp set to arrive. It came yesterday and I made this card last night. I love the quirky numbers! I also received a prize that I won from Scraps of Me's Blog Candy Giveaway last month. I used the embossing folder from my prize on the white cardstock. Thanks Paula! The little heart (although hard to see from the photo) was covered with glossy accents. I can see more cards coming up with numbers!!

Feather Weather

When I saw this week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, I knew what papers I wanted to use. I recently got the Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose collection and this is just perfect for this week's TT! I based my card on the Cardabilities Sketch #75. I didn't want to spoil the design of the card with a sentiment, so I decided not to add one. I was lucky to find a feather to add to the card - this is left over from a fascinator I made many moons ago! Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:
Cardstock - Neenah Desert Storm
Paper - Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose 6x6
Stamp - Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose Stamp Set
Ink - Hero Arts Soft Granite
Others - Kaisercraft Collectables (Porcelain Rose), My Minds Eyes Enamel Dots, Feather from my stash, Molotow paint pen
