787- Inspired by the little things

Happy Saturday!  I love having it be the weekend!  I wish it could be the weekend 5 days a week and work 2 days.  Wouldn't that be awesome!?

Well I wanted to share a card I made for Inspired by All The Little Things Challenge #14.  Here is the inspiration photo:

Isn't it cute?  I just love it (and wish I could eat it).  

Here is my card:

I used Lawn Fawn sets.  Stamped the image and colored it myself to look like a specific manufacturers planes.  Can you guess which ones?  I work at that large airplane manufacturing company, so this will be an appropriate going away card for someone there. I used the LF star die to make a negative image and fill it in with this cloud covred acetate from Bo-Bunny.  A little twine, clip and sentiment, wah-lah. 

I hope you'v enjoyed this post today, thank you for stopping!

TPD Wednesday- Long Haul

Do you have a favorite stamp that you go back to over and over?  I do, in fact, I have a few and this stamp by Two Paper Divas is one of them.  I love the Truck image!  I think the allure is the old fashioned feel along with the choice of color you pick (which can make it masculine or feminine)

This week I colored the truck with my Horizon Green Copic and it make this truck oh-so-dreamy!  I love how soft it feels, especially against the Dear Lizzy paper. Pick-up Lines sentiment set makes the perfect accoutrement. The die cut shape and embossed background (SU!) are fun and along with the flower clothespin make it perfectly shabby chic. 

Check out the TPD blog to see what the design team has in store for you this week!

Sugar Sketch 50

Hello Monday!Well you are here again, I couldn't make the weekend last long enough.  Just hoping the work week goes quick. 

Meanwhile, I have something fun to make this Monday a little more upbeat. I am playing along with Sugar Pea Designs Sugar Sketch #50.  Here is the fun image:

Super fun isn't it.  Well I just couldn't resist playing along. Here is my card:

I used the fabulous Timber set.  I love this set.  Check out this cute beaver and the fabulous trees.  Perfect with the sentiment I {Heart} Chew!  I also used the Sugar Cuts Stitched Flags dies to add the little die on the bottom.  I stamped my images on my white squares and then colored them with my Copics.  I used this fun Lawn Fawn DP and Stampin' Up! Cardstock to compliment. 

So much fun making this!

Happy Birthday Kimberly!

Today is a special day!  It is Ms. Kimberly Wiener's Birthday!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMBERLY!!!!

Kimberly is such a generous soul and so sweet, I love her bunches and bunches!

By now you know the drill, out little group does a birthday hop for the girl of the day.  So, that is what we are doing for Ms. K.  I hope that you'll stop along the way and then MOST IMPORTANTLY, wish her a happy day! 

Here is my card for the hop:

I know Kimberly loves SugarPea Designs and coloring, so I thought this would be a fun card for her.  The sentiment is perfect.  I had so much fun paper piecing the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid (purchased from Ms. Tonya at the Heart Desire's Shop) and putting it on this big burly guy.  It kinds gives it a fun and feminine twist. I used the SugarCuts dies too.  The final touch are the wood chip stars from Freckled Fawn. 

OK, now head on out and check out the hop!

Fusion- Orange Blossoms

OK, you are in for a treat today!  Our Fusion Coordinator Kimberly Wiener put together an AHMAZING photo and sketch for you this week.  Check it out:

I might be a little bit partial because I LOOOOOOOOVE hummingbirds!  They are so striking and have so much grace, how could you not!  So... Here is my take on the challenge!

Pretty much straight up from the photo.  I used a Tim Holtz die to create my blooms and used Hero Arts Electric Orange applied with a sponge.  I needed a little depth so added some sequins to the blooms (these were compliments of Annette Allen over at My Clever Creations).  Just love that neon look.  I used my Designs by Ryn hummingbird stamp and colored this one in with various greens,aqua and grey.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from Technique Tuesday, stapled it on and distressed the edges.  

Some amazing takes on this over at the Fusion blog.  Please go see!

TPD Wednesday- Mums!

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a fun card t share with you!  I made it for the March TPD Challenge (but was too slow to link up- doh!).  So I'll still share since it is so bright and cheery!

I used Seed Packet Flowers for this card.  I was looking at these flowers and thy look just like Mum's to me (see below), so that is what I modeled them after.  I used my SU! markers to color direct to the stamp and then stamp the image.  Then I cut them out with my Lawn Fawn Circle die.  I used the SU! Circle Card Thinlits Die set to cut my cardstock and the DP is Lawn Fawn Designer Papers- LOVING LF Perfectly Plaid!  The sentiment is a pre-printed tag that I just slapped on the front. The brightness makes me happy. 


I hope you enjoyed this card today and thank you so much for stopping!  Please head on over to Two Paper Divas to check out all the fun over there.

Sunday Stamps- 125

I am not gonna lie, it was a rough week.  So I am sooooo glad the weekend is here and will be using this Sunday for R&R.  BUT, before I do, I have a nice uplifting card to share with you for this week's Sunday Stamps Challenge #125.

Here is the image we are working with:

Here is my take:

I thought it would be fun to see what happens when I added distress inks to glossy paper.  This is the result.  It clearly didn't blend as well, but still looks like a stormy sky to me.  I used a cloud template to add some layers.  The challenge is to pick a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral.  Admittedly, I got my peach color wrong, not sure what I was thinking.  In addition to that I used a couple of blues- all TIm Holtz products.  Then I stamped my sentiment from MFT.  I went back and added embossing tat looked like raindrops with and SU! folder.  Lastly, I cut this windmill die out from Top Dog Dies (sad when they closed the doors). 

I had a lot of fun making this. 

Now head on over to Sunday Stamps to see all the other inspiration.
