Rain or Shine...

Hi there! I just have some time before I head out to work today to show you my card for the new Paper Sundaes Challenge! Our theme this week is How Charming and our fabulous sponsor is Stamp and Create!

I used this oh-so-sweet image called Love You Sis for my card today! First, I colored these two sweeties with Copics and then paper-pieced the umbrella with this fun polka dotted paper. I have lots of this Making Memories Chelsea's Place paper collection left over from a scrapbooking project and thought it was about time I use it. My sentiment is from Taylored Expressions A Year of Sweet Sentiments set.

Have you noticed I've been using die cut swirls and flourishes on everything lately?! I have! Well, this one has some Sizzix swirls, a few pretty flowers with a fresh green brad center and of course...my heart charm! At the bottom is a denim brad and a couple of gems. I added the demin brad to pick up on the denim colors in the girls' outfits! I think it works!

Be sure to stop by the Paper Sundaes Challenge to see what the rest of the Charming projects the Design Team has made...I just know you'll love them!

A Natural Woman...

Hi there! It's Sunday and time for a Paper Sundaes challenge! This week's sponsor is Wags 'n Whiskers and they have just released another beautiful set of fairy stamps that we are featuring for you! You can purchase their stamps at Stamp and Create. Our theme this week is Natural Woman and this means a woman and anything having to do with nature.

I have used my favorite colors on this one. My fairy is named Rhiannon and she is so beautiful. I think the accents on her wings look like leaves. My 'nature' elements are flowers with leaves and the butterfly.

I started by coloring her with Copics and cut her out with a Spellbinders die. I cut the dp with the slightly larger die to match. Her fairy wings are coated with a thin layer of Diamond Stickles. These rolled flowers are made using a My Favorite Things rolled flower die and accented with a pearl center. The flourishes are cut using a Sizzix Tim Holtz die and the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch also edged with Stickles. I added a sparkly organdy sheer pink bow to tie it all together.

Be sure to stop by the Paper Sundaes challenge blog and see what the Design Team has for you. There's still time to enter your submission for our Design Team Call too...you have until October 26th!

"Celebrate Today and Everyday" - with Paper Sundaes!

Good morning! It's Sunday and time for another Paper Sundaes Challenge! Our challenge today is Things with Wings and our design team is showcasing images from Wags 'n Whiskers which can be found at our sponsor's store Stamp and Create!

I am using the new Lacey fairy image by Wags 'n Whiskers! I've decided that Lacey is a Peacock Fairy today! I just love this paper collection from BoBunny. I paper-pieced her skirt to look like a tail of peacock feathers and colored her with copics to match. Of course, there's a little bling on this fairy by way of some Stickles and pearls all around! The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and is perfect for so many celebrations! It is cut out using the Spellbinders Fancy Tags set.
