So Vintage - Shabby Chic 81

Hi There! Here today for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps August Blog Waltz.This month Claire challenged us all to create a project based on a Vintage-Shabby Chic theme (as you probably have guessed this happens to be my fave :) For complete Waltz details please visit the The Play Room. Here is my Vintage-Shabby Chic card full of FRUIT:
Lovin' the new Spellbinders™ S4-297 Nested Crowns die templates, I made a crown frame to use as the focal point. Inside the crown frame, I stamped the arrow image from the Sweethearts set, adhered a decorative sanded foil heart made from a S4-296 Nested Hearts die template then popped a lil' Melissa Frances keyhole embellishment on top.

I love the shimmer & all the detail in that lil' heart - it seems to fit perfectly over that arrow!

To make this lil' tag, I stamped a few images from the Very Vintage Labels No. 4
set followed with stamping the "with love" sentiment from the Victorian Frippery set then, using a S4-190 Labels Four die template, I cut/embossed the tag.

That's all I have for today - off to waltz! Can't wait to see what you may have created for the Waltz :)

Thanks for looking! Be Sweet :)

Christmas Wishes 34

Hi There! I was a little bummed that I missed the whole "Christmas in July" celebration so I am going to try to make up for some lost time & get busy with Christmas card making.I couldn't resist the gorgeous Vintage K&Company sticker & lil' paper packs when I made a trip to my local craft store & it doesn't help when everything seems to be 40% off!!! LOL For sketch inspiration, I played along with Kazan's awesome sketch over at 2Sketches4You -

This card was super easy to make because all the papers are coordinate along with the stickers! How easy is that? All I had to do was mount the sticker on a frame made from a S4-256 Big Scalloped Rectangles SM die template, ink the edges, cut/emboss a scalloped edge using a S4-239 Classic Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite die template hand stitch it on, tie a bow & add a pearl.

I inked up the Christmas Wishes sentiment from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Oven Fresh Gingerbread Joy Stamp Set and added the little scroll images from the Very Vintage Christmas stamp set. To finish it off, I stitched on a few buttons.

That's all I have for today. Thanks so much for looking! Have a great day :)

REMEMBER: I will be back tomorrow Tuesday, August 17th for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps August Blog Waltz! I hope you will be joining along :)

A Thank You note...WMSC10 46

Happy Saturday! Time sure flies when I am busy creating but surely drags when I am at work except for that 15 min break & 1/2 hr lunch :( Anyways, it's Saturday so that means it is time again for another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! Here is my take:
In case you haven't noticed, I have been having a lot of fun lately making projects using the Spellbinders™ Grand Nestabilities LF-161 Grand Labels One die templates. I love the gorgeous curves!

I thought this sketch was a perfect fit for the beautiful ornate circle image from the Victorian Frippery set! A perfect design for adding some pearls that we are all crazy about! The sentiment is from the Rescue Remedies Additions set which is jam packed with so many versatile sentiments!

I hope you can join along with this week's sketch challenge. After you have made your project, please head on over to The Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge site & link your post. If you post your creations in an on-line gallery, please label it WMSC10 so we won't miss them! Be sure to see what the other Waltzingmouse DT girls & Mischief Makers have created!
