SERIOUSLY, thank you.

No. Seriously. For reals, though. I sort of kind of lots of LOVE this Seriously die from Lil' Inker Designs. LOVE. Seriously, though. AND, I also happen to love this wicked fun Beadwork stamp set from Altenew, sooo... I decided to play with them together! YAY! I am playing along with the Cynthia Rowley Runway Inspired Challenge, inspired by this fabulous photograph.

I particularly loved the linear feel of this inspiration photo along with the gold. Because, gold. I wanted to emphasize both of these pieces in my design, so I pulled out my Tsukineko Delicata ink and went to town with the Beadwork stamp set!



I love how this stamp set allows you to create your own pattern. I created a pattern that fit nicely on the white panel (Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth White) and then trimmed a thin strip of black cardstock to enhance that linear feel. I stamped the 'thank you' portion of the sentiment with Tsukineko VersaFine in Onyx Black. I love the detail you get with sentiments stamped in VersaFine! I then added the die cut 'Seriously' and popped the panel up with foam tape.



I am also linking this up to the CAS challenge over at Virginia's View Challenge! Have an awesome day, my friends!

Have a Happy!

I am a Leading Lady!

Happy World Card Making Day, folks!!! I have some VERY exciting news to share with you today! I am the Leading Lady over at Winnie & Walter for the month of October!!! I could not be more thrilled! I absolutely LOVE Winnie & Walter stamps, cut files, and, well, just about everything they make! LOVE! And Julie and Shay are pretty spectacular, too, so it's just a total package kind of deal, folks. Total. Package.

For my first week I wanted to have some fun with some of my FAVORITE Winnie & Walter stamps, so I decided on WORD UP! theme for this week. Yup. It's all about the words for this one, folks!



For my first card, I used words as my absolute focal point. This one is ALL about the words. I stamped Happy from The Big, The Bold, and The Happy three times in different colors and then added the Hello, taking it off to the other edge to draw the eye to it. I love how words are the star of the show for this fun card!



Another great thing about the word stamps from Winnie & Walter is that you can totally use them in the background, as well. For this fall card I stamped the word 'autumn' in the background repeatedly in a very pale ink to add visual interest and texture to the design. I then stamped my tree and the sentiment right on top! I love how the background adds so much to this card.



For my final card, I actually didn't use any stamps at all?! WHAT?! I know, right? I cut the 'thanks' using the The Big, The Bold, and You cut files and used the negative as a stencil to trace my sentiment onto the card. I then used one of the BRAND NEW stencils from Winnie & Walter to add some bold, black embossing paste stripes across my card panel. I am LOVING these stencils!!! This card shows how words can be used in, perhaps the most traditional method, as a fabulous, standout sentiment!

And there you go, my friends! I hope you have enjoyed our little Word Play today! Go grab some of your The Big, The Bold stamp sets and make some magic happen!!!

Shay and Julie have GENEROUSLY provided a $30 Gift Card to one of my readers! To enter, simply comment on my Leading Lady posts here on the blog throughout this month. I will be choosing a winner at the end of the month from ALL of my Leading Lady posts, so you have a few chances to enter!

Have a Happy!

P.S. Winnie and Walter are also having some FABULOUSLY fun things going on for World Card Making Day, so be sure to check them out today!!!

Warm Wishes from Adorable Snowmen

It's not really all that cold around here yet. Mornings have generally been in the 50's...sometimes just under, and the days are still in the 60's, sometimes over! BUT, this snowman was too cute to wait for frigid temps! I just love him!



Oh, for the LOVE of all things adorable! I used the Avery Elle Be Jolly stamp set along with the coordinating Avery Elle die to create my own tag! I just added a hole to the hat and pulled some shiny May Arts string through it for a super cute look! The patterned paper is from the Avery Elle The Everyday Collection 6x6 paper pad, with which I am currently having a very hot love affair. For reals, though. It's steamy.


The snowy hill is Crafter's Companion Shimmering Cardstock (GO! GET SOME! NOWISH!) in pearl. It is SOOO pretty in real life! I cut the hill using the Avery Elle Custom Panels die set. This is SUCH a useful set of dies. I can't say that enough! The image and the banner are colored with Spectrum Noir pens. I wanted my banner to be a perfect match, so I just colored white cardstock to get the right look! Love that! I used my blender pen to remove color from the scarf to create the polka dots. I REALLY love polka dots!

I was inspired to create this card by the Avery Elle TAGS challenge! So fun!

Also... before you go, I do have a question...I have been torn on my photos as of late. Do you guys prefer the straight on, no props photos or these slightly angled with minimal props shots like the one above? I just can't decide which I like better! I'd love to know your thoughts and which you are more likely to PIN! :) Thanks for your thoughts! You guys super rock!

Have a Happy!

Pots of Thanks

So, this is what happened.

Teri posted this awesome photo on Moxie Fab World as inspiration for a challenge. The Pretty Plants challenge, to be precise.

Jingle saw it. Loved it. Promptly forgot about it entirely.

Jingle is working in her studio and does a shout out looking for some good challenges to enter (that were open and would be long enough for me to post throughout this week).

Teri says, Hey! Check out this one!

Jingle is all... I TOTALLY saw that one and TOTALLY forgot all about it. I'm on it.

Then this happened.



Then Jingle was all... LOVE IT!

And that, my friends, is today's tale.

Have a Happy!

Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp To Thine Own Shelf
Inks: Celebrations Hybrid Inks by Spellbinders
Patterned Paper: Avery Elle The Everyday Collection 6x6 Paper Pad
Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp Smoke, Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth White Cardstock 

Go Your Own Way

Yes, that's right, folks! It's time for a brand new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! This week we are ALL over the place! No, for reals, though... the theme is TRANSPORT IT! Yup. Planes, trains, and automobiles, my friends! If it transports stuff, we like it! The design team is using Simple Stories products this week. You don't have to use them to participate, but if you have some we would love to see how you rock them!



I decided to go with lots of fun stickers for my card! This one was super easy to pull together and it's a fun one! The sentiment is stamped with the Be My Guest alphabet stamp set from Waffle Flower Crafts. I LOVE that font so much!



I added a touch of Wink of Stella to the card windows to add sparkle, which, unfortunately, does not show in the photos at all, but just trust me on this one. It's sparkly and cute. I promise. *wink* *wink*

Now it's YOUR turn! One lucky challenge participant is going to win a $50 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! DUDE! You know you want that to be you and you can't win it if you aren't IN IT! So... get on that and stuff.

Have a Happy, folks!

Jingle Out.
