Pearls and Swirls

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #60 - "Pearls and Swirls"

Our challenge this week is to create a card or project filled with pearls and swirls.

SPONSOR: Simon Says Stamp

PRIZE: $25 Gift Certificate plus FREE shipping!

WEBSITE: http://simonsaysstamp.com/

Here is my DT creation for this week......



I actually had this project completed months ago,  but held out on posting it until this week's challenge - I just can't tell you how anxious I was to share this!  I really had fun creating this delightful piece - which is easier to put together than you may think.  I discovered this gorgeous creation on Kirsten's blog. She has a tutorial posted HERE, as well as other beautiful creations. 

Did you know that Prima has clear stamps?!  I didn't - until I found this stunning  flourish stamp "Nouveau" by Prima .  I knew it would be just perfect for the design I had in mind for this week's challenge, and I am so pleased with how lovely this gift purse turned out!

Here's the recipe for this project:
Heart purse tutorial can be found on Kirsten's blog, click HERE  (My sis-in-law cut out the hearts with her Pazzles- Thanks Linda!)
Stamp:  Prima clear stamp "Nouveau"
Ink: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Stampin' Up! Perfect Plum
Embellishments:  Satin ribbon, Ribbed sheer/satin ribbon, Pearl strands (which I bought at Michael's), Basic Grey Magnets, Stickles Star Dust, Prima Rose, the leaves are handmade
Tools: MS Lattice Edge Punch, Stampin' Up! Curly Label Punch, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

I hope this pearly, swirly creation has stirred up some ideas, and inspired you to join us at the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge this week.  We look forward to seeing your pearly, swirly masterpieces!

Our Vintage Affair - "Handbags"

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o...

A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!

Hah! Try saying that 10 times! LOL It was so hot outside today - 97 degrees.  Ugh!  I thought I'd jump in the pool to cool off, but even the pool was too hot!  Seriously, there is such a thing... So, I spent most of the day in the comfort of our air conditioned craft room.  Here is my hot summer day creation :   I love the theme for this card, "A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!"  which is a combination of a few different challenges Here is the inside of the card, also a pop-up, although I was not able to get a better picture...  Look at the little butterflies dangling on the twine! All of the "designer paper" for this card is hand stamped by MOI - I so rarely ever use printed designer paper because I love, love creating my own! On this card I used "Fabulous Flourishes" by Tim Holtz, "Documentary" by Prima , which were stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink and Stampin' Up! Soft Suede .  All of the flowers are a...
