Purse-onal Invitation


This is my entry for Embellish Magazine Color Challenge. I created a girly party invitation with a matching favor box . I downloaded handbag template from Mel Stampz and die-cut the handles of the box with scalloped circle nestabilities. The flowers were cut with Papertrey Ink die from the Beautiful Blooms II Die Collection. The card was cut evenly on left and right sides to make it look almost like a triangle shape. The red top of the card was embossed with textile folder by Cuttlebug. The sentiment was stamped with black ink and die cut with label shapeabilities. The card could fit in 5.5'' by 5.5'' envelope and I finished the favor box by filling it with Raffaello almond coconut treats.

Paper: Papertrey Ink

Dies: Scalloped Circle, Standard Circle, Label tag from Spellbinders, Papertrey Beautiful Blooms II #3 dies

A Time For Everything


I was inspired to make a card based on the bible verses in Ecclesiastes 3. I used DCWV's The At Home Stack that I bought a couple weeks ago. I really like that it came with clock patterns and beautiful shades of blue, cream, and dark chocolate with some glitters. The verse was printed on Papertrey Ink's vintage cream cardstock. The card's layout was based on Verve Friday Sketch Challenge and I chose the first living room. I cut the clocks out of the patterned cardstock and adhered with 3d-dot adhesives.

Supplies

Paper: DCWV, Papertrey Ink

Ink: Black printer ink

Accessories: Bronze snap, ribbon, nestabilities label 8

This Day Is Special


This card was created for Verve Friday Sketch Challenge and I chose the second living room picture posted below. I stamped the flowers on a white cardstock and cut them individually. I used Papertrey Ink's Blooming Button Bits and Birthday Basics for the sentiment. The leaves were punched with Martha Stewart punch called frond. I scored the top and the left side of the white base with Martha Stewart scoring board.

Supplies

Stamps: Papertrey Ink

Paper: Papertrey Ink, DCWV

Red Blossoms


Hi, welcome to my first post. I created this card for the Verve Friday Sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers forum.

I picked the red living room and decided to give it an Asian theme.I was so excited because I finally get to use my Asian embossing folder called "Mandarin Screen" for the red panel. I stamped the cherry blossoms on kraft paper then heat embossed. White Sakura gel pen was used on the center of the flowers for added details.

Paper: Papertrey Ink (pure poppy and true black), kraft, scrap pack

Ink: red and black pigment ink, white Sakura gel pen
