Non Winning Artisan Project #10

 

I had the most fun and spent the most time on this project.  I kept thinking of fun things to add for accessories for the little girl and her doll!

 

I cut the fabric into strips (just went around and around so I had one piece for each fat quarter) and then I knit the fabric.

 

For the flowers, I knit a strip and then wound it together.

 

For the party hats, I used fabric and Victoria crochet trim to knit and then added the flower trim with linen thread when I was finished.

 

I added flower trim and trinkets to the bracelet and necklaces that were also knit the same way.

 

I had to add an invite as well so I used the Tea Shoppe and Oh Hello stamp sets for that...

 

Maybe I should have sent the doll along in the entry box, but I think  my daughter might have been a little upset with me :)

 

And the whole ensemble...

Non Winning Artisan Award Project #4

Today's card goes along with our Late Night Stampers Challenge of using lace on your project.  You can see the design team ideas and entries here.  Hope you play along!

Here is card #4 for you, just one left for tomorrow and then on to the scrapbook pages!  I used the More Amour specialty paper and the coordinating colors along with the Artisan Embellishment kit.

 



 

I love those little flowers and had to figure out how to use them in a project!

 

Texture was added using the Perfect Polka Dots and Honeycomb folders.

 

And finally the inside of the card.

 

Supplies:

Loving Thoughts

Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Primrose Petals card stock

Pool Party classic ink

More Amore specialty paper

Artisan embellishment kit

Victoria crochet trim

Petal Cone die

Perfect Polka Dots folder

Honeycomb folder

 

Simply Sketched

 

 

Although I don't like to color in images I stamp, I might make some exceptions for this stamp set.  Simply Sketched is a new hostess set and is on page 205 of the new Idea Book and Catalog.

 

 

I also used the new Modern Mosaic folder on some Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and added it to a Coastal Cabana layer behind the images. 

 

The stamped images are matted on Pistachio Pudding card stock, one image is stamped on Soft Suede and the other on Very Vanilla.

 

My ink colors were Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush and Wild Wasabi and I used a blender pen to color in the images.

Happy Flowers

 

The stamp set used on this card is a new hostess set called Happy Flowers and the sentiment is from Label Love. 

 

 

I chose the new in colors for both my inks and card stocks - Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana and paired them with Very Vanilla.

 

I love the new Very Vintage designer buttons and added some linen thread to that pairing it with some Victoria Crochet trim. 

 

Lastly, I used the Artisan Label punch to layer my sentiment.

 

 

Happy Mother's Day!

 

Happy Mother's Day! 

I thought I would share one of the Mother's Day cards I made in honor of mother's today.  This one uses my favorite specialty paper - Naturals Composition specialty paper and I am SO GLAD it is in the new catalog!

 

 

I embossed some Primrose Petals card stock with the Honeycomb folder and used my 2 1/2" circle punch to punch out a partial circle on the right side.  Then I added some Fan Fair designer series paper behind the partial circle and mounted that onto some Certainly Celery card stock along with the Naturals composition paper.

 

The heart is cut using the Hearts collection framelits and I embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.

 

Supplies:

Primrose Petals, Certainly Celery, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card stock

Peaceful Memories

 

 

I have been in need of lots of sympathy cards lately so in the next little while I plan to show you a few new ones that I have made to restock my card stash.

 

 

For this one, I used some Tea for Two dsp as my background and stamped my sentiment right on it since it is light enough to show the ink.

Candlelight Christmas Ornament

This is my second attempt at an ornament (still haven't tried stamping first and then using the framelits - but I will!).  I used the Candlelight Christmas specialty paper along with some Very Vanilla and Champagne Glimmer paper.

 

 

The middle has the largest of the delicate doilies and I used Crumb Cake tulle along with Victoria crochet trim.

 

The button is a retired one...

 

 

Hello Doily collection

I decided I haven't used my Hello doily stamp in awhile so I pulled it out and did some embossing with the Early Espresso embossing powder.

 

 

I went with the same idea on all of the pieces I embossed, each in a little different position, using sponges and Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette and Bashful Blue.

 

I think I like the ones with the embossed  1 3/4" circle the best...

 

On this one I used Primrose Petals and tore a corner for a little change. 

 

The Very Vanilla layer of all of them is one of the doilies from the Delicate Doilies sizzlit.  I used Victoria Crochet trim and some designer buttons as well.

Raspberry Adventure

This week our challenge at Late Night Stampers includes tearing. 

I used some Naturals Composition specialty paper and also a layer of Primrose Petals that I embossed with the Chevron folder.  The background is stamped with Primrose Petals ink as is the sentiment. 

Behind the sentiment I added a strip of Victoria Crochet trim ribbon and a small piece of Crumb Cake tulle and tied knots in each end.
