Butterfly B day


Hello! How has your week been? I am still playing with Naturals Ivory and Kraft. I happened to have a Big Butterfly Kraft die cut lying around, so I paired it with Melon Mambo this time.

I ran the butterfly in my Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions folder. Fast becoming a staple. It is not leaving my cutting table.

The middle frame was stamped in Sahara Sand, punched and stamped with a sentiment. I added the tiny Always Artichoke button to finish.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,
Liza

Happiness Always



Still inspired with the Creative Mint photo here. Love that vintage color combo of Naturals Ivory, Kraft, and Rose Red. I vow that I will pull out that Naturals Ivory card stock more often. I love the look it creates :)

Just wanting a little different treatment on the sentiment. Like the result...

A handmade birthday present


Hello! I made this special project for a little girl's 3rd birthday. Pink and brown and personalized with her initials. I hope she likes it. I made a similar one for Hannah before here. All of the buttons and whatnots in the middle are Hannah's choice :)

I added a punched flower stamped with the A to Z background stamp (available in the Occasions Mini catalog).

I made a matching birthday card. The background paper is from the new Sweet Pea DSP (available in the Occasions Mini catalog) which comes as a stack of 48 pieces.

Here it is together...
And here it is ready to go all wrapped with brown rice paper given by Ariani. I attached a matching pink punched flower, run in my Big Shot machine with the Perfect Polka Dot impressions folder.

I hope you like it. Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,
Liza

Vintage Labels


Happy Friday! I saw this gorgeous photo over at Melissa Phillip's blog post here, it is so beautiful! I immediately jotted down my color combo: Rose Red, Kraft, Sahara Sand, Naturals Ivory (which is kinda grainy cream card stock that gives it a vintage look, as opposed to Very Vanilla which is smooth cream card stock. If you see what I mean).

We are going to a wedding this Sunday so this is what I made for the wedding card.

Pulled out the Vintage Labels stamp set, it is one of the Sale a Bration set (still going on until March 31, 2010). It is a clear stamp so that I could line up the frame first and then added the sentiment. It matches the Wide Oval punch, so it is quick creating.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs,
Liza
