MIX293 - Sweet Inspiration

Truth be told I have never inked up this Large Happy Birthday sentiment. I have always thought it was super big but it works for today's F4A challenge. I think I have owned it for about 6 years. LOL!

The shoe cake image is a combination of the shoes and cake images next to each other in today's MIX challenge. Colored with copics and added stickles to the shoe because you need shimmery shoes for your birthday - Right? :)

The shoe image came from my fellow SCS friend Tonda Baldwin. I am not sure who makes the stamp but it is totally me. I think I might give this card to my mom so she can send it to me for my birthday this year. LOL!

IC666 - Paper & Stitch

I love the name Paper and Stitch, what a fun blog. I found this Blog Post.

During Dare to Get Dirty we got to play with stamping on fabric and I am hooked. I loved how the BG came out and created more.

I am also trying to use stuff up that has been in my craft room for a very long time taking up space. These butterflies have been cut for over 4 years and I thought it was time to use them up on cards.

Stamped all the plaid BGs with the plaid BG stamp from IO. Grabbed the die cuts and layered with fun sentiments and finished off with pearls.

F4A442 Birds of a Feather

USEIT2018 - Bird Die cuts

For me my home is not complete without a bird house. I moved a couple of years ago and when I did I had to leave my 2 bird houses. One had a family and the other I completely forgot to grab. So I went searching for a new bird house for my yard when I moved. I also love the color blue. When my MIL moved in she had pictures in her stuff and many have blues in them. I was so excited to fill my walls with her stunning blue pictures. She is also a quilter and so the gingham on my card represents a quilt pattern. We have quilts hanging throughout our home.

I am going through my stash of stuff that I have received over the years and found a large stack of bird die cuts. I made 7 of these cards. They will come in handy when I need an extra hugs or two to send out to teapot recipients or others needing hugs.

Layered the birds, cut down the papers and die cut the word hugs. Finished off with sequins and gems for the eyes.

Bird Hugs

 WT701 - Leave a Little Sparkle

This card started out as me needing to use the die cut DP layer. I have had it cut for 3 years. Layering a white layer on the red card base I added the DP and tied some ribbon Added a sentiment layer and stamped, cut & shaped the flowers. Finished off with prills.

Merry Christmas

IC663 OPI - where I found this Nail Polish.
