My first card is for Stamper's Dream. I was looking through all my JustRite stamps, and found two sets that I hadn't used yet. And I LOVE them, so it is a pity that they haven't been inked up yet!! The sets will be named and linked below, and if you love them...it looks as though there is just ONE of each set left in the store. So, be sure to head on over and pick them up if you want them!!
It is also my card for CPS Sketch #223 this week, and I also used the Ribbon Reel Challenge #4 (inspiration photo + blue/kraft/black/grey or silver). Here is what I came up with!
"You're Simply Amazing" supplies:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (vintage cream)
Paper: GCD Studios (Ella Blue: Hallie, Tara)
Stamps: JustRite Stampers (You Inspire Me and Fancy Nested Frames sets)
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: frost white, peacock) & Tsukineko (Versafine: onyx black)
Kraft Envelope: Maya Road
Flowers: Making Memories & Prima
Ribbon: Michael's brand
Pearls: Kaiser Craft
Diecut Machine: Cricut Expression by Provo Craft
Diecut Cartridge: Storybook by Provo Craft
Sandpaper
Instructions: Make card from vintage cream cardstock. Cut three blocks of patterned paper as shown. Distress ink and sand the edges, then layer to the front of the card. Ink the edges of a kraft envelope with frost white ink. Stamp flourishes to the top of the envelope, and in the rounded corners of the flap. Adhere the kraft envelope to the card front, and then adhere ribbon through the top of it, leaving the flap hanging over it. Hinge the envelope together, and then accent with pearls. Tie a bow from the same ribbon, and then cluster together with a brown tulle and white velvet flower in the upper corner of the envelope. Cut a 2" circle from vintage cream cardstock using the Cricut Expression and Storybook cartridge. Distress ink the edges, then stamp the flourished circle and sentiment to the middle of it. Accent the tag with pearls, and then adhere it to the card, tucked up into the flowers & bow.
My second card of the day uses My Favorite Thing's Wednesday Sketch #24 to help with the design. I also created it for The Shabby Tea Room #67 (inspiration photo + polka dots and/or gingham). Here is what I created! And I had to come in and add a little something..when I showed this to my husband this afternoon, he said it looked like Strawberry Shortcake! I love that!! And I definitely loved Strawberry Shortcake when I was little....and now I wish the card smelled like her! Tee hee!

Cut a block of polka dot paper, and adhere to the left side of the doily. Add a strip of off-white crocheted trim to the bottom of the card, and then tie ribbon around the seam. Stitch a button around the bow center using twine. Adhere the entire block to the card front. Diecut a label from ledger paper, stamp the sentiment to the bottom of it and adhere over top of the ribbon. Diecut a tag from vintage cream cardstock, and then stamp it. Diecut a heart from the middle of it, and then adhere the tag tucked slightly into the bow. Adhere the diecut heart to the middle of the sentiment label and accent with pearls. Adhere the felt leaves and flower to the upper corner of the sentiment label. Diecut a butterfly from vintage cream felt, adhere next to the flower, and then accent with pearls to finish.
