Island Oasis doily

My first time using my new Island Oasis DSP from Stampin up. I don't usually like such bright bold colors but I really like this card and most of the paper in the pack. The card is Old Olive, there is also some Pumpkin Pie paper behind the doily. The white doily was colored with Tempting Turquise, the tissue paper flower was cut using the Cuttlebug flower die(thanks Karen) then colored with Pumpkin Pie ink. The ribbon is Stampin Up chocolate chip and then a Stampin Up rub on. I'm going to try these challenges: Wee Memories(stickers/rubons), Crazy4 Challenges(paper flowers), Alyssunday(flowers), ABC Challenge blog(xtra dimension), and Pile it On(stickers)

The wedding dress

This Saturday my husband and daughter are in my sister in laws wedding. I made this card following a template but cannot remember where I got it. Its the size of a normal card so its actually pretty easy to draw free hand and then just cut out, the bottom of the dress is the whole width of the card. You have to make sure you leave the sleeves wide enough so the 2 pieces are attached with the fold at the top, then I just added a ribbon that matches the color of the bridesmaid dresses. This will almost look like my daughters dress since she is the miniature bride. I'm going to use this for the wedding challenge's at S2G, and Secret Crafter and the embossing challenge's Cardvaark's, and Speedy's Cat. I also think it works for the pretty as a princess challenge at Paper Sundaes. I used a Sizzix texture plate called Tween Vines, Stampin up scallop trim border punch, some misc ribbon and pearls, very easy and pretty!!!

Father's Day Card

I found a few challenges for fathers day cards so we'll try this one. I used kraft paper from stampin up, watercolor paper and coredinations paper embossed with Cuttlebug folder called Distressed Stripes. The only stamp I used was from Close to my Heart(Hunting) the ink was black stazon then colored in with blender pens and ink pads, distressed the edges added some twine and waalla!!not sure how to spell that!!!



Here's a couple fathers day, man challenges if your interested: My Time To Craft, Cupcake Craft Challenges, CCEE Stampers and Totally Stampalicious

4th of July card

Lainey wanted to help me make a card and there isn't much she can help me do except tape things and take the pictures. I showed her how the embossing powder heats up and she thought that was pretty cool. Speedy the cat's challenge was to make your own background paper so we used a misc flag stamp and colored that in with stampin up markers. Then we used gold EP on the chipboard star and fireworks, we tried to follow the sketch for the Stamping 411 challenge also. We also distressed the flag with walnut distress ink.

Inchies??

I learned that one inch squares are called inchies I guess. maybe 2" inch ones are called twosies?? So I'm going to try this in the hand full of stamps challenge for any kind or project. I used Cottage Wall DSP, Vellum, white and kraft paper. Choc Chip courderoy buttons, twine, Martha Stewart butterly punch, pearls, flower fusion felt flower from stampin up.
