Charmed!

 I'm so excited to share a card I made using new collections from Emily Moore Designs along with older stamps and dies of hers in my stash. It turned out better than I had hoped.

for you

This was such a fun card to make. The card background of black velvet cardstock is matted with gold. The chain, charms, embellishments and sentiment are cut from the same gold.  The sentiment, also matted with black velvet, has added dimension using foam tape.  I combined several different collections to achieve the look I wanted.

EMD Birthday Sentiment Stamps

EMD Buttons

EMD Every Day Charms

EMD For You Word Dies

All of these fabulous items are available at A Cherry On Top Crafts and through the Emily Moore Designs site.

Tropical...Just For You

 Hello there, crafty friends!

 

Today I'm sharing a tropical inspired card for a new challenge at the Double D Challenge Blog.  The theme is "Tropical" with a fun and colorful mood board to inspire your project.  Check it out and play along!

 

just for you

 

When I think tropical, its always hibiscus flowers that come to mind and they have to be a coral/pink color.  I chose the coral in different shades and inked them up a bit.  It was time to pull out the pineapple embossing folder and die set that I rarely use also.  Pineapples are tropical too, right? The gold framed window aperture has an embossed pineapple background with a die cut pineapple behind the sentiment among the foliage.  I used a darker blue card base so the bright colors would be the focal point.

Happy Birthday Tag

 Today I'm sharing a tag created for a challenge at A Cherry On Top.

 

I recently purchased the "Full Circle Collection" from Emily Moore Designs to add to my current stash of her stamp and die cut sets.   They are now available A Cherry On Top Craft store.  I can't say enough about the quality of Emily's products.  The die cuts are top notch and release paper very easily.  I love the cute sentiments and fonts of the stamp sets.  I've since ordered another new release of hers, "Simply Charming" Bundle and it's on the way.  Check them out and add them to your stash!

 

The Full Circle Set includes the following sets...

Button Dies  

Creative Hearts Set 

Decorative Circles Dies

Doilies & Daisies Circle Dies

Dainty Dots Stencils

From the Crafty Corners Stamp Set 

 Gentle Reminders Stamp Set

 

For this tag, I used the Button Dies and the 3 dot stencil from the Dainty Dots set.

 

HAPPY birthday

 

This tag became an unintentional monochrome  using a new paper pad from Uniquely Creative, Ultraviolet Delight.  A beautiful collection in shades of purple with dots, stripes and floral prints.

Bows for Baby

 The first challenge for June is live at the Double D Challenge Blog!

 

This month's theme is all about "Bows"! 

 Add a bow, any kind of bow to your project.  It can be ribbon, stamped, a die cut...just add a bow.  Link it up and you could be one of the top three Creative Winners chosen by the Design Team.  

My card was inspired by a baby shower that our daughter organized for a dear friend.

Here's the card I made...

The background is embossed with clouds on bling cardstock and double matted in both blue and pink on a white card base. The blue bow and umbrella are embellished with pink flowers and sentiment.

SO HAPPY FOR YOU

 The June challenge is up at A Cut Above Die Cut Challenge Blog!

 

My share today is pretty much a monochrome aside from the green outlined design on the patterned paper and stamped focal image. 

 

SO HAPPY FOR YOU

 

This floral DP reminded me of a vintage wallpaper design.  Pretty pattern, but it's kind of  busy and I wasn't sure how to use it on a card, so I stuck with a simple, clean palette of white and green. It's matted with a coordinating paper from the collection.  The focal flower looked very similar to the pattern and I had green ink that was a perfect match although it didn't photograph that way.  I stamped the floral image twice and adhered them together with foam tape for dimension.  The sentiment is part of the same stamp/die set.  I embellished the corners and smaller flowers with white pearls.
