Sweet Stamps Recipe Challenge

The Challenge this week at Sweet Stamps Blog

is a Recipe Challenge.  You have to use

2 DP's, 1 ribbon or border, 3 gems.

My card uses the Tea Time Bear Large. 

I decided to do some paper piecing.  I used 

one of my DP for my Bear's dress.  The rest

of the bear is colored with copics. 

My card base is cut out with Cheery Lynn Scalloped

French Flair largest die. I then used a couple of the other

dies and layered them onto my card base.  

I used the Cheery Lynn Oval Classic dies to cut 

out my Tea Time Bear.

I took some gathered lace (This is my ribbon in the recipe)

and attached it to the back of my cut out matted Tea Time

Bear.  Then my Bear is popped up onto my card base. 

I added some purple pearls for the finishing touch.

(My DP is Basic Grey Kioshi paper pad)

I am pretty happy with the way this card turned out.

Here's a close up of my Tea Time Bear:

Isn't she pretty....

My card is pretty simple, I stamped the Birdbath stamp

copics.  I used Spellbinders Label 16 to cut out
my colored image and then nested the 2 largest
dies to create my frame for my image. 
I used a Martha Stewart Border punch and then added
some pearls for the final touches.

Sweet Stamps Easter Challenge

It is Tuesday and that means it is time for a new

challenge at Sweet Stamps.  The challenge

for this week is Easter.  

My card today uses the Tulip Bunny stamp.

I also used a new die called English Tea

Party Doily Die from Cheery Lynn Designs.

This is an awesome die.  I love being able to make

doilies in any color that I want.

Here is closeup of the doily and tulip Bunny:

Tulip Bunny is stamped onto cryogen Iridescent White

card stock and colored with copics.  

My doily is cut from a light blue green paper.

My main cardstock base is a light yellow.  I 

really like this color combo. 

I added some corner cutouts to finish off my card.

This is a pretty simple card for me, and no ribbon 

or bows....

Please join us over at Sweet Stamps blog for all

the fun.  Check out the challenge details and join us.

Today Melissa has released some really cute "Girl" images. 

These would be really great for those "Teen Girl" cards.

Girl Talk and Girl Tunes.  I also 

used a freebie sentiment that Meljen's gave out

called "Girl Talk".  It really fit right in with these images.

Windy Day

I have a just for FUN card today.  I went

to the Stamp Convention in Oaks, PA yesterday

and came home with some new stamps.  It was

a fun day.  One of the new stamps that I got is from

Repeat Impressions.  They have so many stamps to 

choose from either mounted or unmounted. 

I have used the stamp called "Rebecca".

Here is a close up of my image:

It is stamped onto Cryogen Iridescent white
card stock and colored with copics. 
I added some ground under her feet
and then I used my clouds template
and added clouds. 


One last look at my creation:

They also have a blog with weekly challenges, 
so I decided to play along this week.
