The inspiration is called Princess Dress and I just had to make a princess dress card. I used my new die cut from Scrappy Boy Stamps and die cut this out of pink, cream and pink DP. As I was layering it I thought oh I have pink feathers. Well of course they were perfect for pairing with the pink DP. 

Once it was layered, I die cut the trim to cover where the feathers were added and finished with the pink pearls for the necklace.

I needed to use up this cute image from my tote. The entire image was just a bit big for the A2 card size, so I cut down the rod, at the hand and tucked it back in behind his hands. I also trimmed off the platform. The additional trimming was perfect to fit the scene on the card front.

It was layered on a designer paper and kraft card stock then I stamped the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.

Scrappy Hearts Thinking of You

 

MMTPT861 - No Pink or Red Hearts

For my card, I used a really great technique that I learned more than 5 years ago. The technique uses die cuts but for my card, I used punched hearts. I layered them 5 high gluing each layer. Next, I used my score tool to score lines on white card stock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.

Once the glue was dry, I used a royal blue acrylic paint for the first layer. I then used watered down white and ran that over the top of the hearts. Finally, once that layer was dry, I spritzed some tea stain that has a shimmer to it. You can't see the shimmer in this photo, but it is there on the card.

The card was finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

Ball State Grad

 

IC997 - Kate Mcenroeny and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

I just fell in love with the inspiration, and it was perfect for me to create with my new die cut from Scrappy Boy Stamps. I die cut the hoodie in red and black and tucked a red and white baker's twine into the top, adding a couple of glue dots so the loops would stay. The pocket is popped up on dimensionals.

Next, I pulled out a couple of old Spellbinders die cut sets to die cut the numbers and letters for the hoodie.

Finally, I used the Divinity Design graduation cap, cutting it out of red glitter paper that my mom gave me, and the diploma is die cut using an older Impression Obsession die cut. I then used the dot from the graduation cap and added a yellow seal to the Impression Obsession diploma.

It is great when I can pull out the selection of die cuts to create a personalized card. My son will graduate from Ball State in May, and I incorporated items to personalize this for my mom to give to my son.
