SNS-Friend, You are Treasured...

Hello! I am back with another card today. I didn't think I am going to pull it together, but I got it done last night! I got Home Sweet Home Spellbinders set a while ago, and I really wanted to break it in! I love the wings and the sweet home!

Recipe: Treasured and (soon-to-be released) Music Background stamps (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)... DP-Lost and Found Two (My Mind's Eye), Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Crumb Cake (SU!)... Pretty ink Pink and Soft Suede ink pads (SU!)... Dotted Scallop Edger punch (EK Success), Home Sweet Home dies (Spellbinders), Jewelry Tag punch (SU!)... Lace, Baker's Twine, Prima flowers, Pearls, clear embossing powder, cheese clothes... sewing machine, sponge dauber...

The color inspirations came from The Shabby Tea Room #112. The sketch is from SplitCoast Stampers, SC383.

It's hard to see, but the vellum wings are stamped with the music Background image with Pretty in Pink ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Thanks for visiting!

Craft Project Central... and blog candy...

The end of the school year is near and you might already be thinking about gifts for the kids’ teachers. How about making this lovely little birdhouse shaped gift box and matching card, perfect for so many different occasions? (I could see using the pretty birdhouse as a garden party favor, or a bridal shower favor too.) The gift box opens up on top, giving you easy access to put small presents or treats inside!

PTI-Make it Monday #64...

Good Morning! It's a rainy, dark day here in NH. I am just sitting here with my cup of coffee, trying to do some computer work. It's not easy when all you want to do is curl up and sleep! Good thing I managed to make a card last night. Only 4 more to go this week!

I checked out some challenges and decided to go with PTI's Make it Monday #64: Using Color Inspiration challenge. It's a nice motivation for me to use my PTI stamps! So I picked this color combo:

...and this is how I used those fab colors:

Recipe: Garden Variety, Garden Variety 2, Background Basics: Retro stamp sets... Seed Packet Frame 2 die... Kraft, Pool Party (SU!), Cream (The Paper Company) card stock... Pool Party, River Rock, Crumb Cake, Dusty Durango, Craft White ink pads (SU!)... Dusty Durango re-inker (SU!)... Cheese clothes, Baker's Twine, Felt, Mini pin, Silver Rhinestones... Mini Rolled Rose die (MFT)... 1/2" circle punch (Fiskars)... Sponge Dauber... White Mist (Studie Calico)...

The sketch came from CASE Study #88.
