The Paper Nest Dolls - Sewing Ellie

Good Evening, Friends! At least it is evening here. It’s getting on to around 10 p.m. and almost my bedtime. NOT! LOL Well at least it is time to wind down for the evening.

I am sharing a cute card I made for The Paper Nest Dolls. Her name is Sewing Ellie and she is a cute digi. I have lots of sewing embellishments and thought they would be perfect for this stamp. I colored Ellie with Copics and did a bit of distressing on my paper panels for that shabby look.

I used some new Carta Bella papers from the Sew Lovely collection by Carina Gardner, one of my favorite designers. The pink, aqua, and brown tones look fabulous together and coordinate with my design elements.

I hope you like my card. That is it for me this evening. Have a great one.

MM Midway Reminder Back to School

Happy Hump Day, Friends! I’m sharing my DT project for our “Back to School” challenge at Midweek Magnolias.

You have until next Tuesday to make a project or card. Follow our rules and theme and you could have a chance to win a prize from Magnolia Sweden.

This project is a teacher’s gift. I saw this idea on Pinterest and just thought it was the cutest idea. I created my candy pencils with some sweet Mini Magnolias on Bloomy Tags with a bit of distressing.

The pencils are simply Rolo caramels wrapped with cardstock and a Hersey’s Hug on the end. I tied the candy pencils together with some lace trim threaded through my tags in a bow knot.

Here’s a close up of my Tildas. Both are colored with coordinating Copics to match my cardstock.

I hope my project inspires you to join us for the challenge. Have a fabulous week.

MM Midway Reminder - Decorate a Gift Bag or Box

Happy Hump Day, Friends! Our current challenge “Decorated Gift Bag or Box” at  Midweek Magnolias is still running and I'm back today to share my DT project.

You have until next Tuesday to make a project for the challenge. Follow our rules and theme and you could have a chance to win a prize from Magnolia Sweden.

This is a La-La Land Crafts Trinket Box I made featuring “Tilda in Lace Pants” from the Animals of the Year collection.

My DPs are from Maja Design and distressed with Brushed Corduroy DI. I added some Magnolia Tags dressed up with lace trim, MS Clay butterflies and a Tim Holtz glass vial.

The pearl trim around the edge gives the box a feminine touch. Some pretty flowers, swirl die cuts, and metal lock with key finishes the box nicely.

Tilda was colored with Copics and mounted on a Spellbinders Floral Oval Frame.

I hope my project inspires you to join us for the challenge. Have a fabulous week.

My~Besties - Fancy Pants All Dressed Up

Hello, Friends. I have some fun and exciting news. Sherri Baldy invited me to join the My~Besties Design Team! Since I love these cuties I had to say, “yes.” My~Besties stamps are so fun to color and they are adorable for cards and projects.

My first DT card for My~Besties features a sweet stamp called Fancy Pants all Dressed Up.

I used Pion Design papers for my card panels to coordinate with my Copic colors. Her dress was sprinkled with Glamour Dust using my Sakura Quickie Glue pen. The polka dots on her dress where colored with pink and purple Soufflé pens to give it a bit of dimension.

I stitched and distressed my DP panels with my Zutter and Brushed Corduroy DI. My cute pennant was created with the new Celebration Circle Pennants stamps and coordinating Circle Pennant die set from Whimsy Stamps.
