Strawberry Sweet Friend

Today I'm playing at the Alphabet Challenge where this time F is for FRUIT! I thought these yummy strawberries would be just the ticket!

My strawberries were made with the Waffle Flower Multiple Strawberries Die N Stencil set. First you ink the strawberries and then cut them with the coordinating die. This set allows you to ink FOUR different strawberries all at the same time, and the die cuts them all too!
  

A nested tag creates a focal point for the Sweet Plates that I loaded with strawberries. The stencil set does not include foliage so I added them from the Strawberries die set.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Plates Sentiment set. The background is created with the Strawberries Stencil die topped with a strip of paper that I embossed with the Sweet Plaid texture die.

Something sparkly is always the finishing touch for me. I added some Candy Dots to this one in a shade of pretty pink to match the background paper.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Once Upon A Time

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a card made with the latest paper collection from Pretty Little Studio called "Well Read". This collection is library themed with all things book worthy like stacks of books, comfy chairs, and all the accoutrements like your favorite cuppa, furry friend potted plants and more.

The collection also has an awesome set of flower dies and collection of sentiments. I decided to document a romance on this card that I think would be perfect for a wedding event.

A woodgrain "Book Addict Frame" lets the sentiment do all the talking. I added a "romance" tab along the right edge of the frame and embellished it with pretty flowers. The flowers are adhered with adhesive foam tape to add some dimension to the design.

The finishing touch was a sprinkle of sequins for some added sparkle and shine for the special day. My "something blue" for the event.

I hope you have a great day with some time for what you love best!

4th of July Postage Collage

Today I'm playing along at Festive Friday challenge where they're looking for 4th of July projects. You must include three things from the following list...

I've got the Red, White, Blue, Fireworks, Balloons and Celebratory Sentiment Covered on this card featuring the Waffle Flower Postage Collage 4th of July stencil set.

If you're not familiar with the Postage Collage Series you should check it out. You select which Postal Collage die you'd like to use, and then ink the images on the die cut stamps. They have a Postal Collage for several different occasions including Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving and more. You can also use the die cut stamps with your other favorite stamp sets and stencils.

I kept the stamps together, but they look great cut apart as well. I added an "air mail" red and white border using the Postage Collage Coloring set that is great for adding color to the backgrounds.

I hope you have a great weekend with some time to do everything you love!
