The Kraft Journal.... Happy Bird-Day

Happy Tuesday,

This week, I am playing along with The Kraft Journal Challenge.  We were asked to incorporate a bird on our projects.

My card:

To make my card, I started off with a Kraft card base, followed with Pretty in Pink card stock.  The pretty patterned paper is from Melissa Francis.  Since I don't own any bird/bird cage stamps, I decided to use the Serenade Cricut Cartridge to cut out the bird cage (at 3 inches).  The little yellow bird was die-cut with the Poppy Stamps Nestled Bird.  I further embellished the card by adhering a banner on the top left hand corner.  I then added tiny pearls to it.  The sentiment is from The Craft's Meow Tweet, and was stamped in Chocolate Brown ink.  The final details are two pink buttons on the bottom corners.

I'm also adding this card to the following challenges:

House of Cards - March Challenge #1 - Shabby + Add a Button
The Pink Elephant Challenge #240 - Birthday
Seize the Birthday Challenge - "Anything Goes" Birthday
Word Art Wednesday - Challenge #121 - Anything Goes

Thanks for taking a peek,

Dynamic Duos #61

Hi Everyone,

I haven't had the opportunity to play along over at Dynamic Duos in a long time!  But I'm happy to say that I created a card for this week's card challenge!

My card:

When I saw the color combo, the only thing that came to mind was a very feminine card, with pearls and lace.  I happened to have the dress form with kraft color lace wrapped around as a skirt from a card that I ended up not using (glad I kept it, right?). The base is Pink Pirouette, followed with Whisper White.  I do not have Sahara Sand cardstock, so I used something similar from my stash.  The gorgeous patterned paper is from SU! Fan Fair.  I adhered some delicate lace between that cardstock and Sahara Sand look-alike, to give it a vintage feel.  On the right hand side of the dress form , I added a strip of pink color using the MFT Pinking Edge Border.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The card would not be complete without some pearls!

I also entered my card over at Word Art Wednesday.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

        

Merry Monday July Challenge

Hello Everyone,

It's a Month Long-Anything Goes Christmas Challenge over at Merry Monday! 

My card:

I decided to create a vintage Christmas card, and this pretty paper from Webster's Pages was exactly what I had in mind.  The base of the card is Whisper White, followed by Cherry Cobler cardstock.  The dress form is the focal point of my card.  I dressed her up with green tulle and Cherry Cobler satin ribbon around the waist.  I also adhered 2 small pearls.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Elegant Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set.   

I'm also uploading my card over at Inspired by Stamping Customer Gallery and Word Art Wedneday.

The Kraft Journal: "Tag, You're It"

Hi Everyone,

I'm here to share my project for this week's Kraft Journal. We were asked to create a tag!

I grabbed a kraft tag and adhered a piece of patterned paper that blended with the Kraft color, and the rest fell into place!  All the pretty embellishments are from stash.  I wrapped some vintage crochet trim around the dress form to make it look like a skirt and added some tiny pearls to it.  A different crochet trim was added behind the dress form and vintage scissors.  A beautiful crochet flower, Melissa Frances pom pom trim, a button and Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon finishes things off!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
