Be You!

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day and that you have some fun planned for the weekend. Today I'm sharing a card made with Pretty Little Studio's You Are My Sunshine.

This collection is a breath of fresh air with bold colors and beautiful blooms. The sentiments are messages of inspiration and positive thinking.

I love different papers you'll find in this collection particularly the Sunshine Accent papers. These papers are a printed collage of different patterns so you don't have to do the mixing and matching.

Adding contrasting panels and borders in monochrome prints adds lots of contrast and defines the layers on your design. Another favorite are the faux stitches. I love the look, but have never learned how to operate a sewing machine! Problem solved!

Enjoy the weekend! I hope you find some time to make!

Just Us Girls #766 WORD Week - GREEN

Lucky me! I'm guest designer this month at Just Us Girls Challenge! They always have beautiful inspiration, fun challenges and a terrific design team! The challenge this week is GREEN! Just in time for St. Patrick's Day! I'm Irish at heart and am happy to celebrate the culture and traditions of everyone around the world!

My card starts with a Pierced Hearts A2 background panel topped with a stack of hearts.. an Eyelet Heart topped with two hearts from the Stitched Hearts die set.

I added some Stitched Shamrocks a Lucky Shadow word die and some stamped and die cut clovers and leprechaun.

Of course there always needs to be some gold at the end of that rainbow so I added sprinkle of gold gems.

I hope you find some time to play along with me at Just Us Girls. I think you'll be glad you did! Who knows? You might just be next months guest designer!

Take Care Friend!

Today I'm playing along at A Cut Above where this time it's Anything Goes! Just be sure you add some die cuts! You know die cuts are my favorite so I'm totally at home here! My card is almost all die cuts!

I started with a Mod Blossom die cut background. This die is meant to be used with a coordinating stencil to color in the flower pattern etched into the die, but I left it plain and cut from green cardstock. I like the lacy look of greenery it provides for the die cut flowers.

Next I cut flowers and butterflies with the Butterfly Blossom die set. The flowers are easy to cut and assemble with a completely separate flower center. The butterflies are pretty and stackable, but there is no greenery in this die set.

I added a sweet sentiment from the Paper Hugs stamp set. The coordinating die cuts fussy cut the sentiment. I really like the mixed font - script and print together.

The finishing touch for me is always a little bling. This time I added some enamel candy dots. They have a bit of shimmer to them.

Here's to flowers and Spring just around the corner! I hope you find some time to play!
