Happy Birthday In Blues

Good Morning!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Stamp TV, It's My Party (Cat's Birthday!), Scrapy Land, Favorite Colors (this time more pretty shades of blue), Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes! and Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Something New.

 

Lots of pretty blues!  Stamp sets by Gina K Designs, Birthday Blessings and French Flair, both new to me as well as the Penny Black die, Border Edges, somewhat new to me, and all so beautiful! 

 

 

The wordy stamp from French Flair stamped in Dove Grey ink to start my background.  Then I stamped the butterfly and vine images in Not Quite Navy ink on top of that.  I also found a ribbon in my stash to compliment the blue shades.  Jar, heart floral and sentiment stamped in Not Quite Navy and Black Licorice inks.  I filled my jar with Waterfall Stickles. 

 

 

Folded flat to show off that pretty border die, isn't it glorious?  Thanks Barbara Campbell, peer pressure at it's finest.  lol

 

Oh and to toot my own horn just a bit, I am in the current CardMaker issue.....page 30.  I used the fabulous Stamper's Favorites set by Gina K Designs illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.

 

And also a sneak peek above Tanya's head on page 5.....love that!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for popping in.

 

Enjoy~~



Card Maker Publication

I am so HAPPY and thrilled to let you all know that I have been published in Card Maker Magazine....WHAHOO!!!

Winter 2016

 

 

Page 28 & 29

 

 

 

This is the card they published.

 

 

 

 

This is what I originally submitted.  They had me make a few changes.  I think they like things a little more simpler, so that anyone could try and CASE using the supplies they already own. 

 

 

 

 

And this was my final submission.

 

 

 

 

Finally selecting this to print.

 

 

I used the Autumn Beauty and Heartfelt stamp sets by Gina K Designs.  Poppy Stamps Verona Flourish die and MFT Stitched Traditional Tags die.

 

The wine tag is very easy to make.  Cut card stock to 2 3/4 x 7 inches, score at 4 1/2 inches.  Using a Spellbinders Standard Circle die cut opening for wine bottle.  Decorate in any manner.  These make great additions to bottles of Champagne for birthdays and such. 

 

What a FUN process!  Card Maker is so good to return your projects AND send you a copy of the magazine, which I already subscribe too.....but now I can be 'that dork' and frame it all!  lol  I may have to get a red velvet rope and spotlight. 

 

Thanks so much for coming by and sharing my news!

 

Enjoy~~
