a little birdie told me....

this was for a dear friend of mine....Happy Birthday R.!  I love Die Cuts With A View pattern paper.  They have come out with some great paper stacks!  This stack is so summery & so cheerful.  It makes you smile. Ü

 I took white seam binding and dyed it with glimmer mist to match the pattern paper.  Then pleated it across the card with sticky tape.  I adhered the center of the greeting with foam tape to give it some dimension.  And the ends I taped flat on the card.

Supplies~
paper: whisper white; lemon flower paper stack{DCWV}
dies/punches: beaded oval, oval small {Spellbinders}; two-step owl punch, decorative label {SU};

Every Day To Remember

This is my first sketch for The Color Room.  I love their sketches and color palettes...can't wait to create a layout.  Here is this week's palette & sketch:

These monochromatic colors are so different from what I normally use...this is why I love The Color Room!  It's a great challenge for me to think outside my "comfort zone" of colors.  Well, here goes....

I decided to create a 5x5 card using The Color Room card sketch:

This card was fun to create!  I used Bazzill's monochromatic scrap pack cardstock for the color palette.  The edges were distressed with my distressing tool and distress inks.  I took some white seam binding ribbon and dyed it with some Glimmer Mist.  The flower is handmade using Prima flowers.  I added Stickles for some sparkle.  For the pearl flourish, I took my Copic marker and colored the white pearls.

Thinking of You

This is a gate fold card I made using the paper collection, flea market {Colorbok}.  To make the gate fold, take a 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 cs and score at  2 1/8 and 6 3/8.  I embossed the birdcage and sentiment with embossing powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang...love their products!! The fabric flower was made with baja breeze seam binding and victoria crochet trim.  I backed it with pearl trim and skeleton leaf. I love the way it turned out...since it's my first time making it.  Here's a close up:

The inside sentiment is a clear sticker from the paper collection, layered with cs that I embossed and used a border punch. Since the pattern paper is one sided, I cut the Spellbinder die twice and adhere them back to back.  That way, you see the pattern paper and not just plain white cs. All the edges were distressed with vintage photo and sprayed with mist from Lindy's.

Supplies~
paper: flea market {Colorbok} ; very vanilla, early espresso cs {SU}
stamp set: card crafting hello {TPC}
dies/punch: label 8 {Spellbinders}; birdcage {CreaTables}; double crochet {EK Success}
ink: vintage photo{TH}
mist/embossing powders: golden pumpkin blush mist, queen sheba silver, kaiser russet red, king midas gold {LSG}
trims: baja breeze, victoria crochet trim {SU}
misc: pink feather, pearl trim, sticker sentiment {flea market collection}, skeleton leaf {I Am Roses}
