Today You’re the Star! Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

 

We have a fabulous new sponsor, Lil' Inker Designs with A.G., for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Cozy Quilt challenge!  The LEAD of this challenge will receive a $30 gift certificate to Lil' Inker Design!  Our challenge is Cozy Quilt!

I couldn’t help but create a little “quilt” on my card with some paper scraps and the sewing machine.  Lil’ Inkers was one of the first companies to make that sweet little stitching around their dies…I have been a big fan of their dies for many years :)  I’ve used the stitched rectangle and stitched stars dies along with the stamp that came complimentary with my last order!  Head over to the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge blog for more samples and all the details of this challenge.  Thanks for stopping by!

My First Shaker Card!

Good morning!  Yes, you read it correctly!  I’m pretty sure this is my first shaker card.  I wasn’t going to start making them, but I found this fun heart confetti at Michaels in the packaging aisle and couldn’t resist!  PLUS, shaker cards are a great way to use up all that sequins we’ve been collecting since they became “in.”  The tricky thing about shaker cards is static electricity!  It was hard to “shake” and “tame” these hearts to sit nicely around the stamped sentiment!  Sequins training is in order!  LOL  Have a lovely day!  It’s almost Friday!  Woohoo!

stamps: Lil Inkers
dies: spellbinders hearts

Sunshine After Rain ~ CASE Study # 113

Good evening friends!  Welcome to a new week of inspiration over on the CASE Study challenge blog.  We are playing with another card from the super talented Julia Stainton!  Feast your eyes on this little beauty…

The colours just jumped at me this week as did the stamped flowers.  I don’t have any umbrella images, so I went with the “feeling better” and “love” theme from Julia’s card.  I just got my first order of Lil’ Inkers dies. L-O-V-E!  They have the sweetest little stitched border that frames out each image perfectly :)  These dies will see LOTS of love in the studio :)  Just sayin’!  The sun die pairs perfectly with the sentiment I helped inspire in Verve’s Stronger Love set.  It makes me smile every time I read it.  Head over to the CASE Study blog to see what the Design Team created, or check out their blogs below, then join in the fun!  Can’t wait to see what you are inspired by!  Thanks for visiting!
