"Happily Ever After" Lawn Fawn Sneak Peek!

April 9, 2011

Hello, my friends!!  Tonight marks the start of sneak peeks for the Lawn Fawn April release!!  I know that I am excited, so I hope that you are too!

Up first is the new set called "Happily Ever After", and I am sure you can tell by the title...it is a wedding themed stamp set.  I used the dress image and one of the sentiments from the set, and I can't get over how fun dressing up the dress was!!  I loved using the rose paper, and glittering just the top half...how pretty would a dress like this be in real life?!  I also used Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #42 for my card, and it was the perfect fit!  It also fits the Wee Memories Challenge #51 to use twine, which was just the perfect little addition to my country chic wedding card!! Here is what I came up with!
"Congrats" supplies: 
Cardstock/Ribbon: Papertrey Ink
Paper/Jewel: Glitz Design (Laced with Grace: Rose, Floral)
Vellum: The Paper Company
Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Happily Ever After set) 
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: chestnut) 
Twine: Darice Inc. 
Pin: Maya Road
Flower: Recollections
Pearls: Kaiser Craft
Glitter: DecoArt

Instructions:  Fold vintage cream cardstock in half to make card base.  Layer a block of vellum to a floral paper block, and zig-zag stitch along the seam.  Adhere the entire paper piece to the card front, and tie ribbon around the bottom.  Stamp the sentiment to a vintage cream cardstock strip, and adhere around a clear topped pin.  Cut a flag shape to the end of it, and then adhere the entire piece to the card front.  Stamp the dress to patterned paper and cut out.  Mask off the dress bottom, and then cover the top in glitter.  Add a pearl strip to the middle of the dress, then adhere it to the card front, slightly overlapping the sentiment flag.  Tie a bow from twine, adhere to the middle of the ribbon bow, and then accent the middle with a clear jewel.  Accent the dress with a paper flower to finish.

Oh, how I know you are going to just love this stamp set!!  And I know that I can't wait to see what the other Lawn Fawn girls came up with...and here is a list so you can check them out too! 

And don't forget that the Lawn Fawn blog always has some amazing giveaways during release week!!  Here is where you can win so far...be sure to follow the posting comments!!  ♥♥♥

A Friend Reaches for your Hand....

April 5, 2011

....and touches your heart.  That is the sentiment of my card today, and I think it is just beautiful.  Happy Tuesday, everyone!  I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!  My blog has been quiet, because we had a very full and busy weekend.  It was a lot of fun though- spending time with friends, attending a BBQ on Saturday, having a BBQ and a great night of games on Sunday.  It was fabulous!  But that means that I haven't had much time to sit down and create anything...so I finally had a chance! Yay!

My card today is for Stamper's Dream, and is also my card for CPS Sketch #212 this week.  It also features a new collection from Glitz Design that I don't reach for as often...though I totally should!  I feature Laced with Grace and Afternoon Muse a lot, but I have been neglecting "Love Games"...until today!  Here it is in all its fabulous glory:
"A Friend Reaches for your Hand..." supplies
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (red) 
Paper/Paper Layers/Jewels: Glitz Design (Love Games: Scorecard, Polka)
Stamps: JustRite Stampers (Friendship Nested Sentiments set) & Glitz Design (Love Games set)
Ink: Tsukineko (Versafine: onyx black) & Clearsnap (Chalk: charcoal) 
Twine: Darice Inc. 
Flowers:Recollections
Corner Rounder: EK Success

Instructions:  Fold red cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners.  Round the bottom corners and ink the edges of a scorecard paper block, and adhere to the bottom of the card.  Ink the edges of a paper layer strip, and adhere to the top.  Stamp the sentiment in the lower right corner and accent with jewels and a black flower.  Stamp the banners to polka dot paper, and cut out.  Thread twine through them and adhere over the seam of the two papers on the card front.  Accent each end with a twine bow, and add a flower center.  Add a red jewel to each banner flag to finish. 

Well, that is all I have to share with you today.  I hope that you have a wonderful day, and thanks for checking out my little piece of the internet!!  ♥♥♥ 

Until later,

WPlus9 April Release 2011: Group Post

April 1, 2011

Well, tonight is the night!!  It is the last day of release week at WPlus9.  The stamps and die are up and available for purchase in the WPlus9 Store, so be sure to head on over and pick up what your heart has been fancying this week.  We all have one more sample to share with you this week for the final group post, and it is sure to be some pure eye candy!

I did another card featuring the "Filigreed Frames" set.  I utilized the frame in a vertical format again, which seemed to get your attention in yesterday's post...I am so happy you liked it!  I also paired it with some of the latest Glitz Design papers, which I just utterly adore.  And last, but definitely not least...I used the Viva la Verve! March 2011 Sketch #5 for my card.  Here is what I came up with!
"For All That You Do" supplies: 
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (vintage cream, kraft) 
Paper/Tulle: Glitz Design (Laced with Grace: Floral, Stripe, Rose, Butterflies)
Stamps: WPlus9 (Filigreed Frames set, Labels Layer 1 Die) 
Ink: CTMH (Pigment: vanilla cream) & Clearsnap (roussillon, chestnut)
Button/Jewels: Doodlebug Designs
Lace: craft supply
Twine: Darice Inc. 
Pearls: Kaiser Craft
Flowers: Recollections & Michael's brand

Sandpaper

Instructions:  Fold cream cardstock in half to make card base.  Cut an orange paper block slightly smaller, and sand the edges.  Punch an apron lace border to striped paper and adhere to a block of rose paper.  Sand the edges and adhere to the bottom of the orange paper block.  Zig zag stitch along the outside of the entire block, and adhere to the card front.  Add the green crocheted trim to the left side of the card, and then tie brown tulle around the seam.  Diecut and stamp the sentiment frame, and adhere to the front of the card.  Thread a button with twine, and then tie around a calla lily floral bunch.  Adhere the flower accent to the middle of the tulle bow, and then accent with an orange paper rose.  Add three jewels to the bottom right of the floral accent.  Cut two butterflies from patterned paper, and adhere to the sentiment tag.  Add a strip of pearls to the middle of each butterfly to finish. 

Well, I really hope that you have enjoyed my first release week as a WPlus9 design team member!  I know that I have had a ton of fun this week using these new stamps, and I foresee myself using them a lot more in the coming weeks!!  Thanks so much for coming along on this new journey with me, and I hope that you will continue to stop by my blog when the weeks aren't as exciting! :)  And now, don't forget to check out what all the other amazing WPlus9 girls have come up with for the group post, as I know it will be a treat!!
