You're So Sweet

Hi Everyone! I'm back from a little blog break and am excited to share more cards with you. I've been so inspired by my new and old Papertrey Ink stamps and goodies lately.


Everyday Button Bits
was one of those sets that I fell in love with from the minute it was released. I've used it here and there but I think you'll notice over the next few days that now I'm using it A LOT.
The background of this card has a simple lattice design I created using embroidery floss. To create this look I scored the lines one inch apart, cut small notches where the lines touched the edge, then simply laid down the floss and taped it on back.

I stamped Text Style on the white mat, ink distressed the edges and added some Ric Rac using my new favorite die cut at the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by! Your comments are appreciated as always!

Mama Elephant: October Anniversary Stampede!

It's Mama Elephant Birthday Stampede time!  This is so awesome, right? I'm so excited you've joined me from Stephanie's blog! Today I'm a sharing a lot of stamping goodness! Now that I'm counting, my card uses 4 new Mama Elephant stamp sets ! This card all started with the sentiment. My kids are always buzzing around the house singing and one of their favorite is Everything is Awesome (Lego Movie anyone?). :) I started with a faint pencil line to create AWESOME from the new Block Party Letters . I colored them in with Copics and then did some creative masking and stamping from Happy Everything to add the beginning of the sentiment. Next I stamped the penguin and hat (from the new Artic Penguins ), colored them and die cut them for a perfect cut. The soft, grey striped background was created using the new Boutique Borders . All stamps and dies can be purchased NOW at the Mama Elephant store HERE . Next up? The very talented JJ Bolton !
