Pretty Little Studio - Smile! It's a Beautiful Day!

Every day is a Beautiful Day with the Pretty Little Studio's Beautiful Day Collection. Just think of bold beautiful colors, pretty flowers and butterflies! 

The background is a split panel of a green, mostly solid print (Joy Ride) and rainbow scallop (You Make Me Smile) topped with a smaller panel of wood grain (Park Bench). 

I adhered colorful Picnic Label Cut Aparts with adhesive foam tape to add dimension and then embellished the labels with die cuts. Cut Aparts are a great value only 99 cents a sheet. I cut the labels with a pair of scissors, and the Perfect Day circles with a 1" hole punch.

The Fiesta Brackets die cut pack includes a rainbow of Monarch butterflies so you can choose the color you like best. I matched the pink butterfly with the pink label. I added a yellow die cut flower from Colorful Blooms over the yellow label.

The simple "smile" sentiment on the bottom label is from the Hello Word White Sticker sheet. Again I color coordinated a black print sticker on a black label. For some sparkle and shine I added some bright yellow Sunsation sequins. 

I hope my card makes you smile too!

Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month

Have you ever wished you could just buy a card kit that included everything you needed? Spellbinders to the rescue. They have a Card Kit of the Month that includes EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING you need to make lots of amazing cards. 

All of my cards were made with the Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month. The kit includes EVERYTHING you see including the card bases and envelopes. The kit even has adhesive foam squares and double sided tape. 

You'll love the 6" pad of beautiful pattern papers and printed die cut images. The die cuts even have copper metallic accents on them so there's lots of shine. (Yes the sequins were in the kit too!)

This kit also included 3x4 journaling cards and die cut tags. The wood buttons and word stickers used as embellishments were also included in the kit.

I had lots of fun arranging the die cut images and pretty papers. The florals are so pretty and the kit has LOTS of them.

Everything is color coordinated so you know it's going to all go together beautifully. This kit was so inclusive that I think it would be great to take on a vacation or even a scrap meet. The only things I used that were not included were scissors and a paper trimmer. 

This card kit is by Spellbinders and they're most known for their die cuts. This kit included all the die cuts to assemble this cute little house - roof, door, gate, windows all included. Even the card stock that I used to cut the dies with was in the kit. The kit also included a "celebrate" word die (see it on the very first photo) and two small feather dies that I used as foliage with the florals.

This kit had so much in it that I didn't even use it all. Like what? A stamp set, silver twine, sentiment stickers and so much more! The Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month will make your crafty room a happy place with all sorts of treats inside! I just love it!

Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash - Thanksgiving & Friendship

A new monthly Stock Your Stash Challenge begins today at Reverse Confetti. The theme this time is Thanksgiving and Friendship. We want to help you stock your card stash so you have a little something for any and every occasion. 

I like seeing what other people make and link up. It makes me see the stamps in a whole new way through the eyes of different people. And of course there is a prize too! One winner will be selected to win a $20 gift certificate to the store.

I love fall! The cooler temps mean windows open, a better nights sleep and more energy to do things! I mean.. what's better than a walk through the woods on a cool day to see all the different colors of the leaves? I just love it! 

I stamped the Fall Foliage with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the leaves with Copic Markers. The coordinating Fall Foliage Confetti Cuts makes cutting the colored images a breeze.

I arranged the leaves on a panel that I colored with distress ink. I stamped a sentiment from Autumn Blessings directly on the panel. I adhered some of the leaves flat to the base while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape. This adds lots of dimension.

Have a beautiful day!
