Hello!

Supplies: Paper: Papercut: cream, Crumb Cake, Basic Grey 6x6 Hey Girl!  Accessories: Silhouette Image: Lori Whitlock Quote Bubble, dimensionals
 
I have been wanting to make a card, and yesterday I organized my space so I have a table top again.  This made it a lot easier to make a card!  I saw this card sketch, and went from there.  I hopped onto the Silhouette Design Studio and created the card front.  I only cut out three of the circles from the card front, and then popped that piece up for dimension.  I cut out some circles from coordinating papers, then I was trying to decide what to do for the sentiment.  I have been seeing conversation bubbles on a lot of cards lately so off to the online Silhouette store I went.  I found this cut file.  I popped this up on the card too. 
 
I never would have come up with this on my own, thank goodness for card sketches!

Scalloped Hexagons, Oh My!

Supplies: Stamps: Hero Arts  Paper: Papercut Whip Cream, blue cardstock from Hobby Lobby, Basic Grey patterned paper pack 6x6 Hey Girl  Accessories: Silhouette Cameo hexagon cut file, ribbon
 
Hello Stampers!  School is out for summer, and I have a ton of stuff to catch up on.  But I hope to get some stamping time in, in between projects.  Today I snuck in some time.  I was shopping yesterday and saw a neat die cut that cut out hexagons individually and connected.  It was really neat, I thought I could make that on my Silhouette!  So I purchased Scallop Hexagon Nested Shapes, from the Silhouette online store and got to work.  I scaled it down, connected, and welded, and presto I had the concept of the die I saw yesterday with the bonus scalloped hexagon for 99 cents!  I cut out my pieces and threw together a quick card.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary Wishes

Supplies: Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes  Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Basic Grey Hey Girl!, Ivory cardstock  Ink: Pear Pizzazz  Accessories: word window punch, SU flower garden textured impression folder, EK Success Scallop dotted ribbon 2 in 1 punch, pearls
Here is another card inspired by the Clean and Simple Sketch 235.  I rotated the orientation of the sketch so I could use the full embossed flower image.  I inked up my embossing folder before running it through the Big Shot.  Then I sponged the edges with pear pizzazz.  I have to say I am pretty excited that SU is bringing this color back.  I love it!  Thanks for stopping by!

Under the Weather

Supplies: Stamps: Amuse and Whipper Snapper  Paper: white and pink cardstock  Accessories: pink twine, oval punch, dimensionals, SU cloud embossing folder, Darice embossing easy frame, nestabilities, copic markers
I picked up the Darice embossing easy frames and tried them out.  They work great!  I wanted more of a frame around the focal image, so I embossed an oval nestabilities.  It flattened out the clouds...so I ran it through again and some of the clouds were on the oval frame I embossed...  So instead of continuing this endless battle, I got out my stylus and smoothed out the embossed oval frame the best I could.  Next time I think I will use the Darice easy frame and a stylus to emboss a frame. 
 
I added a sidewalk to my focal image, and popped up the main panel for some dimension wih the sentiment.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

More butterflies!  I love the new piercing tool/template from Stampin Up!  It made piercing around the butterfly a breeze!  I popped up both ivory pieces for dimension.  Thanks for stopping by!
