Stamp A Faire 2015

So, today I was able to make a couple of cards for the Project Runway Stamp A Faire 2015 at Papertrey Ink.

Here is the first card for the Bridal Challenge...

I used a die plate and covered it with gold and clear sparkle embossing powder.  Then I gold embossed the sentiment from the Just a Kiss stamp set on vellum and cut out a banner shape.  Simple card but I think its pretty.

The second card is for the Pattern Challenge. I used pattern 3.  I used the Beautiful Brushstrokes stamp set for the flowers and the Think Big Favorites #16 stamp set for the sentiment.

Wink of Stella on top of the flowers!!!

A fall themed "Thinking of You"

Today's card was inspired by Papertrey Ink and all their new fall themed goodies this month.  For this card I die cut a leaf from some paper that I watercolored with some yellows, reds and oranges and then topped with some sparkles. I mounted the whole card on a patterned paper from the new Project Stamp-A-Faire kit, Mood Mix. The sentiment is embossed in gold and is from the Mini Blooms set.  I added some black hand "stitching" and some sequins to complete the card.

Embellished Notepads

Good Morning!  I'm sharing an idea inspired by Papertrey Inc. Monday challenge.  In the challenge, Melissa made mini notebooks.  I wanted to make something for the challenge, but I also wanted it to be something I would use.  SO...I decided to embellish some note pads that I have and use.  You probably have several of these lying around your house and you can also make them prettier and more fun to use as I did.

So here are the two notepads that I decided to embellish.

Then I just added some scrap paper that I had to the top front section.

Then I die cut some "flowers" from the button dies from Papertrey Inc and some leaves and hot glued them on the top.  And I used some stickles in the middle of the flowers.  I stamped a sentiment at the bottom as well as some flowers and leaves and Voila! The notepads were complete!

Beautiful Brush strokes thank you

I was inspired by the Monday challenge at Papertrey Inc to make this card.  I used the "texture kissing" technique for the flower and for the leaves I stamped the leaves in a lighter green and then I stamped the dotted stamp with a darker green.  Then I stamped the lighter leaves on the darker dots and then stamped it on the paper. I like the effect that both of these techniques created.

I used a die to cut out the opening for the sentiment, and stamped it in gold.  I put some Wink of Stella shimmer on the flower.  Placed the leaves and flower on some foam adhesive, then put some sequins on to complete the card.
