FTTC213 - Sew Perfect!

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone~
We are in our spring break and things are a little hectic with both kids at home! I hope I can have some time to relax later this week :P

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC213)!! It is my turn to host and I am challenging you to use any sewing, stitching technique into your project. Don't like to sew?? Faux stitches are also welcome! Please visit Flourishes Blog for more information about the challenge.

For my card, I used Stitched For You set. My sewing skill is very limited. I can sew only straight or zig-zag, lol. I really need to bring my sewing machine to different projects around my house, :P

I mainly used Classic White cardstock for the card and some leftover designer papers for the strips. Then I sewed them with sewing machine. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers. The frame and sentiment piece were die cut with Perfectly Pierced dies (Victorian Ovals & Classic Window).

The rest of supplies: Memento Rich Cocoa, Cantaloupe, Spellbinders die




Copic Markers Collections:

Catching Up...

Happy Wednesday everyone~
I have a few cards I've made but I haven't shared here yet....I am terrible to update :P

All stamps are used from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and they were submitted to SCS Sketch Challenge.
The sketches always help me bring my creative mojo up. I totally recommend you to play along :)


Here we go....

This card was stamped with Springtime Babies. I used the sketch from Sketch Challenge 426 (SC426).

This one was stamped with the March Release, Flower Blocks 1. I used the sketch from SC427. I am very happy how it turned out! I just love this set!

At last but not least, I just made this card today for SC428 :) I used the digital stamps, You & Me. It is also sold as a clear stamp, HERE.




Thank you for stopping by.

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone~

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC211)!! Deborah is challenging us to incorporate "Green" into your card/project. Please visit Flourishes blog for more information about the challenge.

My first thoughts about "Green" was St. Patrick's Day and my son (he loves green!). So, I used my favorite St. Patty's stamp set, Irish Blessings. The image was stamped with Memento tuxedo black and colored with Copic markers on the classic white cardstock. The image mat was die-cut with Perfectly Pierced Classic Hologlass die. I decorate the inside of the card using the same stamp set. It has perfect stamps & sentiments to do the job! :)

SNSS March Release Features 3!!

Hello there,


Welcome to Day #3 of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Release Features!

Today's featured set is..

Nature Silhouettes 2

And check out the matching bird dies!

This fantastic duo is a must-have.  Imagine the gorgeous cards you'll make!  The possibilities are endless AND this stamp set also coordinates so well with our other silhouette sets!

• Set includes 13 images
• Set measures approximately 4"x6"
• Queen Anne's Lace image measures approximately 2" x 2 1/2"
• Designed by Korin Sutherland
• Stamp set is priced at $16
• Die set is priced at $9.75

Here is my card using the set and dies.

I was very inspired Korin's CAS cards using Nature Silhouettes 2 earlier (yes, she loves to show us sneak peeks and she rocks every time!) and I had to create this CAS for myself....I don't know if I needed to more or less but I hope you like it ;) 

This card was more like my style (more layers, lol). The feathers on the background were stamped with Brilliance ink and it is more shimmery in real life. I die-cut 2 birds from the matching dies. It was my contribution of SNSS March Release VSD Challenge (SNSMAR13VSD5) over our Member Company Forum at Splitcoaststampers. We've planned 5 fun challenges, and more prize opportunities You still have a time to play along till Wednesday, March 13th! Be sure to visit HERE for the detail about the challenge.

SNSS March Release Features 2!

Happy Sunday everyone~

Welcome to Day #2 of your March Release Features!

Today's featured set is...

Vintage Seed Packet

This lovely set is full of fabulous elements which will create some gorgeous cards and more!

• Set includes 3 images and 7 sentiments 
• Set measures approximately 4"x6"
• Circle frame image measures approximately 3" x 3 1/4"
• Designed by Dina Kowal
• Set is priced at $15

Here is my card using the set.

I love the vintage elements in the set and it was reminded me old wall papers. This was what I came up with... ;) I stamped the background with the frame image and the border with the poppy image. After I finished coloring with Copic markers, the border was sponged with ink. To finish off, I embellished the ribbon with botton and dressed the gold pearls.

This one was totally different look. I did a lot of inking with sponges but it only took a little time to complete the card. It was my contribution of SNSS March Release VSD Challenge (SNSMAR13VSD4) over our Member Company Forum at Splitcoaststampers. We've planned 5 fun challenges, and more prize opportunities You still have a time to play along till Wednesday, March 13th! Be sure to visit HERE for the detail about the challenge.
