Gallery Idol Fail #1

Aw, poop.  I uploaded a bunch of cards to enter the Gallery Idol contest, and I checked today in the flikr account, and somehow only 3 of them made it in the official entry page.  I don't know what I missed, but here is one card that didn't upload for some reason. 

I don't think the card is a fail, though. :)


I tried highlighting the sentiment on the vellum by threading the ribbon through slits in the frame.  I like how it turned out.  The frame itself is embossed in super sparkly powder, but it didn't photograph well.

Paper: PTI White, Sweet Blush, Winter Wisteria, Vellum
Ink: Versamark, Versafine Onyx
Stamps: PTI Pretty Peonies
Other: PTI white satin ribbon, MS butterfly punch, Zing silver EP, PTI Sunshine Impression plate, Perfect Pearls mist, dimensional tape

Erin Lee Creative January Release

 Hi friends! Today we are hopping to show off the newest release from Erin Lee Creative .  Once again there is a host of unique stamps, dies and stencils, as well as some amazing rainbow holographic cardstock. *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on the blog entries in the hop so you can enter to win a $50 voucher to use in the ELC shop .  There will be two winners chosen at random from the comments. On to the projects: For my first card, I wanted to showcase this big and bold sentiment from the new Stay Golden  stamp set.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with Copic markers over the top of white heat embossing.  It is a great way to make colors pop on dark cardstock.    Doesn't this stamp just beg for vibrant colors? So fun. The next card uses the new Nesting Stars die set, a sentiment from the Stripe Sentiments stamp set (previously released), and some ink blending with the Retro Swirl stencil  (also previously released).  I love how so many products can be used together.   And

February Blog Hop

For this month's Hop, we are to pay homage to a member of PTI's Design Team. They are all so very talented! I chose a recent project by the amazing Debbie Olson . I loved her simple design with white embossed violets on Raspberry Fizz, with a few little details sprinkled in--sparkly centers, a scored edge and rounded corners. Just beautiful! I actually copied this card exactly, because it was so easy, but then I decided to change it up a bit. Here is my version in Enchanted Evening, with the smaller flowers. I didn't have the right color buttons, so I made a little fancy ribbon edge. The sparkles are flat rhinestone stickers. Best $1.99 I've spent in a while! Thanks for the inspiration, Debbie!

May WMS Blog Waltz

This month's WMS Blog Waltz challenge is to make a birthday card. I have no trouble making cards for girls, but sometimes boy cards elude me. I absolutely LOVE this paper airplane from Free Spirit-Boy , and I think it's perfect for a simple, masculine birthday card. (Inside the card it says, "happy birthday".) Enjoy!
