Well... like I mentioned in my previous post... I'm LOVING the new Stampin Store Kit! This beautiful butterfly duo is part of the set 'Everything Extraordinary' and can only be purchased through scrapbooking stores. To find a list of stores (including a few online spots) click HERE.
I fell head over heels for this card by Lori Craig... and decided to incorporate those fun 'shaker domes' into a project for this month's Crafty Chicks class (a monthly paper crafting class for locals).
To keep it simple, I used a couple of Nestabilities dies to cut out the shapes that I needed. The inside has a bit of Faux Snow inside... just to give it a bit of whimsy. And... below is the sentiment that's stamped inside. It's SUCH a great quote! It's one of those that makes you stop and evaluate things... you know? The sentiment is part of September's Kit of the Month called, "Go ahead, Wish".
Here's another card I made using the cutest apple (found in September's KOM), paired with Cosmo Cricket's Boyfriend paper. (The sketch is from Jen delMuro's SFYTT.) I think the stitching and buttons on the apple make it over the top adorable! :) The top of the card just needed 'something', so I sharpened a #2 pencil until it fit and adhered it with some Red Line tape.
Are you still with me? ;) So... here is my final card for the day. These images all come from the Stampin Store Kit. The variety of images & sentiments in this set just amaze me! I stamped the rustic floral image repeatedly using brown ink onto kraft CS.... and then added bits of color with an ivory Prismacolor pencil & a red Copic marker. The dotted fabric is actually an old piece of Love Elsie paper/fabric that lost it's adhesive... making it a perfect accessory in my book!
Thanks for stopping by! There's more in store tomorrow... so I can't wait to see you then! :)
I want to come to your class. :(
