Double D - Designer Paper

 Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

 

Here's today's theme:

 

Designer Paper
May is national scrapbook month
so if you are a scrapbooker (I'm not) feel free to do
a scrapbook page using some of your pretty designer paper

 

and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .

 

 

 

 OMG!  I have SO MANY beautiful designer papers ... what to choose??

 

 

I decided on one of the MANY 12x12 Heartfelt Creations paper packs I purchased when they were closing the brick & mortar store.   OKAY ... so I stretched the truth a bit lol ... it was actually my N.C. friend Sandy who bought double of what they had reduced in price, KNOWING I would be interested in buying them from HER when she came to visit last April.   Either way, I have a LOT of beautiful papers and the nice thing about Heartfelt Creations, is that their paper packs also had coordinating sheets of tags, journaling notes, etc to go with your card ... such as what I've used on my card today.

The only additional elements are the Nuvo crystal drops!

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Double D Challenge Blog to see all the details and amazing samples offered up by our VERY TALENTED design team ladies!!

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope to see you at Double D! 

  As always . . .

Stencil Fun Challenge (5/25) - Bouquet

 Hello Everyone!

It's time for another fun challenge over on our Stencil Fun Challenge!

Remember, this challenge is all about using your STENCILS.
We are a MONTHLY challenge that begins on the FIRST TUESDAY of each month.
Theme will always be ANYTHING GOES USING STENCILS but we will also offer an OPTIONAL theme.

Here is the OPTIONAL theme chosen for this month:

 
Bouquet

 

The stencil used for this card is a metal stencil by Del Bello's Designs - Sweet Poppy - 'Poppy' (SP1-135).  I've used TH distress oxide inks for the coloring.  Tombow marker was used for the faux stitching, Lea'bilitiers 'Bows' (45-4520) for the bow die cut from a scrap of white card stock colored with the same Tombow marker used for the faux stitching.  For a final dimensional element I've used Nuvo crystal drops.

 

     

 

 For my second card (Anything Goes), 

 

 

 Creative Expressions 'Butterfly in Flight' Mini Stencil

Stampabilities 'Music in my Heart' (CR1058)

Rubberstampede 'Music Notes' (A25878)

 

 Hopefully you'll get those stencils out and have some fun with us.
We won't always have a prize but periodically we will, you just never know!
We do have a Top 3 and a Top winner and it could be YOU!

 

Please come join us and GOOD LUCK!!
As always . . .
