3-D CHALLENGE GOODIE PURSE

Hello Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! This week Classy Cards 'n Such is challenging you to make a 3-D Project! For my project I created a Goodie Purse using the Technique Junkie Newsletter 3-D and Fun Folds Cd! This little purse is so fun to make and decorate. It would be a perfect inexpensive gift to fill with lip gloss, nail polish, candy or even a gift card or cash!

I started the purse by using the Teresa Collins 6x6 Patterned Paper called Spring Fling. Classy Cards 'n Such has a BEAUTIFUL array of Patterned Papers for you to design with! The words I used on my project come from the Just Rite Stamp set called Topsy Turvy Cakes.

To create the cute little flower, I used the  Miniature Rose Die from Cheery Lynn Designs along with the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to help curl the flower blossoms. To adhere all of the little blossoms together, I used the Sakura Quickie Glue Pen. To finish the flower off, I added the Viva Pearl Pen Ice White on the internal portion of the flower and around the scallop punch layer to decorate the words a bit. To further embellish this cute little purse, I added a bow using the  Red and Green Doodle Twine - Christmas Assortment.


Some additional tools that I used are:
Scallop Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Scallop Border Punch, 1/16th hole punch, Martha Stewart Scoring Tool, Large Oval Punch, Basic Grey Magnets


To create this little Goodie Purse I used the Technique Junkie Newsletter from the 3-D and Fun Folds Cd.

 For todays card, I thought it would be fun to make a Rosette. I took white strip of card stock and stamped the Dogwood Branch image from DRS Designs in Pretty in Pink, Rose Red and Regal Rose Inks. Then I created the Rosette. I stamped the same Dogwood image on the background of the Pink Pirhouette card stock. 


I ran white card stock through the Polka Dots Embossing folder and sponged it with Pretty In Pink ink. I then took white cardstock and stamped the Good Courage Greeting in Rose Red Ink and wiped the ink pad across to add a little color. I added some Saffron and Rose Red Layers and tied a yellow satin ribbon around to tie a bow.

When you are done looking here, please take some time to be inspired by the Sugar Babies creations: Cathy McCauley, Monika Davis, Janice Melton, Shannon White, Shelby Goolsby, and Wendy Ramlakhan.


Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

A GIFT CARD FOR YOU

HELLO FRIENDS! Happy HUMP Day! I hope your week is going well! This week over at DRS Designs, we have been challenging you to make a GIFT CARD holder! On todays project, I used some new images called a Gothic Gift Card, Congrats Address Frame and the Easy Dot Background.

I used the POLKS DOTS Cuttlebug folder with my Big Shot and colored up the images with the Real Red, Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow and Garden Green Markers. I wrapped a red stitched ribbon around the card and mounted the Address Frame on Dimensionals to pop it up!


I hope the rest of your day is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for stopping by!

BOTANICAL COLORFUL STRIPES

Hello Friends,  With the warmer weather peeking through here and there, I am finding I have SPRING FEVER! I am enjoying seeing the grass turn greener and flowers bloom. What better time than to pull out some Floral Stamps and Floral Embellishments?

On todays project, I used the Technique Junkie Newsletter and the technique called Colorful Stripes. This project does not use ANY patterned paper, it is ALL hand stamped using the beautiful images available at Classy Cards & Such.called JustRite Designs Botanical Butterflies.

I stamped the focal image in Brown Memento Ink and colored with Copic Markers on Cryogen White Cardstock. Once colored, I used the Viva Pearl Pen in Gold to fill in the center of the flowers. Using a 1 1/4" Circle Punch and a 1 1/2" circle punch, I layered the image on a Scallop punched layer using Bazzil card stock. I adhered the layers together using the Joy! Foam Pads, small. 


Using Green Coredinations, I used the Cheery Lynn Designs die cut called Fanciful Flourish.  A few tools I used to make this job a little easier while using the die cutting machine is the Crafters Tools by Cheery Lynn Designs, Sakura Quickie Glue Pen,  and the Cuttlehug, Small by Cheery Lynn Designs. I find the tools so helpful in moving, molding die cuts, while the Cuttlehug helps eliminate the need for addition paper shims. The Quickie Glue Pen is a wonderful adhesive that works great on dies with a lot of details and small areas. 

To finish the card, I added Robins Nest Tear Drops and White Organdy Ribbon to tie a bow.
I hope you enjoyed my project today! Have a wonderful day!!!

HEARTFELT SYMPATHY

Hello Friends! Today I am sharing a project using the fabulous designs from DRS Designs! I started by embossing a pirhuoette pink card stock in Secret Garden Embossing folder and layered it on white card stock and Rose Red Card stock. I stamped the Broken Flower Fence in Memento Brown ink and colored it with my Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I stamped the Extending Sympathy Greeting in black Memento Ink in the upper portion of the white card stock. I used the Corner Punch and the Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish Die on the side. To finish it off, I added some Dew Drops with Mini Glue Dots. 

Thanks for taking a look! Have a blessed Easter!
