Quilted Note Card

Wonderful inspiration challenge today on SCS it is the fantastic Etsy shop of The Altered Diaries. I found this stunning Diary.

I loved the colors. Using my quilt die cut and several DPs with the colors I pieced the quilt cards together. Finished off with the tatted butterflies to mirror the crown in the center of the diary and the sentiment.

Key to My Heart

Today's challenge on SCS is called Key to My Heart.  The key to my heart is my nieces and nephews. I lived away from them for 10 years and recently moved back and love having them over.

My 10 year old niece came over last Sunday and helped me create more Valentine cards for her to give to classmates. She loved using the Big Shot to do some fun textured BGs and loved playing in the sequins to add some sparkle to the cards. We layered the papers then added the Green Duck embellishment and some sequins and ribbon.

Thank you for looking at the cards my niece helped me create.

Today's super fun Ways To Use It challenge we are making our own stamps.WT618 - Make a Stamp

So my barbed wire came out great and worked like a charm and I got three great stamps out of it. I was going to do the entire panel and a setting sun BG but I had to set it aside for a bit. When I got back to it I found that one of my sweet fur babies had taken off with it. One might think with the bright green foam I used I could find where they hid it but I have looked high and low and that stamp is no where to be found. So I used part of it in the upper left corner and have another piece left over for another card. My girls love to play with foam. Just goes to show why I have to keep my craft room closed. LOL!

Die cut barbed wire on foam and stamped with Versamark on white and heat embossed with copper. Added a sunset color by sponging yellow, coral, light blue, dark blue and purple to the barbed wire panel. Embossed the white panel with stars. Stamped the horse and colored with copics then mounted on dimensionals on the black. Finished off with some twine and a button.

Horse Stamp used is Inkadinkado. Darcie Star Embossing folder used on the panel.

Copics used:  C1, C3, C5, C7, G12 & G14

Valentine Lions

Today's featured stamper is Pam aka wearestampers. She has a fantastic gallery. I found this wonderful card: HERE.

My 10 year old niece came over after she saw my SC card this week and helped me create more Valentine cards for her to give to class mates. We used the BG of the FS card as a starting point for this lion card on the left. We layered the papers then added the Green Duck embellishment and some gems. She liked the DP paper and created the other lion card finishing that one off with sequins.

Thank you for looking at my 10 year old nieces cards.

Lost Pets

Great inspiration today on SCS of I don't wear dresses. I found this very stunning DRESS.

I loved the stark black embroidery on the white dress. Using the Spellbinders cat and dog dies as they look so whimsical like the dress I placed them on white CS. Added gems to the eyes and stamped a sympathy pet stamp. I used a stitched border and mounted them on black CS.

Hexi Hello

I used a hexagon die cut to die cut out for the sentiment. Then used it to die cut the DP. Added the sentiment and some dash marks around the sentiment and finished off with some punched red flowers filled with liquid pearls.

 WT617 - Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Something old - The die cut flowers are always on my desk I use up old scraps of paper and have tons of these from years ago, die cut leaves I used an old scrap of left over paper from about 2 years ago & Crystal Effects was one of my first purchases from SU about 20 years ago. I use it sparingly.
Something new - Prismacolor Pencils DH got them for me at Christmas
Something borrowed - The stamp from my Elisabeth (Shoe Girls Niece) She was given them by Jan (Precious Kitty) and I asked her if I could borrow them to play with them. I am sure she is going to come pick them up soon I might need to stamp a few off before sending it out the door.
Something blue... I LOVE BLUE! :)

Stamped the image and colored with Prismacolor Pencils. Added some Crystal Effects to the pearls. Die cut some flowers and added liquid pearls to the centers.

Oh Girl!
