Dream Believe Thrive with SRM Stickers

  Happy Wednesday everyone!  I am back to share a very special project I created using SRM Stickers for a dear friend.  

I started with a Bravissimo ribbon from Making Memories. I used a cupcake liner and then added an extra large scallop punch in cream card stock to the center. I punched a large salmon colored circle from card stock, added SRM sticker sentiment from Celebrate Life #39046 and a ribbon border from Think Pink #49010, then popped it up with foam dots. I placed the pink ribbon sticker, also from Celebrate Life, on a piece of cream card stock, trimmed, and attached it to the top.

The three tails are stickers from Think Pink and were also placed on cream card stock, trimmed, and then tucked under the scallop. A few drops of pink glitter to accent and it was done!"

I made this for a special friend that just received  word she is now cancer-free. She deserves so much more than a ribbon after the battle she fought. She wears something pink on herself everyday, and I thought maybe she might want something a little bit more for those days she really wants to shout it out that she is a survivor!"

Thank you for stopping by!

Vintage Inspired Sympathy

A sympathy card I made with SRM Stickers sheet Wishing You Well #51016 .  I covered the card base with MME Lost & Found Madison Avenue pattern papers and added a ink distressed doily, punched circles, paper and crochet flower, with a small pink button tied with brown twine.  The lace trim is from Making Memories.

Brrr! It's Cold!

Happy Sunday to you!  Loving that I have a three day weekend to enjoy.  I hope you are doing something you love today!

No snow here in Virginia but it's cold enough for it.   I actually hope it holds off for the next week because we have a special birthday party on Saturday and that could throw a wrench into the plan. MY card for this week's Sentimental Sundays challenge of ribbons is this little fellow who is  making a huge snowball.  The digi is from Digi My World and can be found here.  I did paper piecing for his outfit and then colored his face and hair in with Copics.  Next I added flocking to the hat brim and the pom pom at the end of his hat.  The giant snowball was colored and then covered with glistening snow.  The sentiments are  SRM Stickers Winter 51009.  I love how transparent they are and never have issues with them peeling up.  The papers for this project were entirely from my scrap bucket/bag.  I started the base by stamping with  speckled dots in black and then added layers.  The snowflake trim is my Making Memories which I picked up years ago.  I tied silver Stampin' Up cord around that several times and tied a bow. 

Hope you will join us at Sentimental Sundays for the challenge!

Joy Jar ♥

Happy Saturday to you!  I wanted to pop in and share an altered jar I re purposed today with lots of vintage items.. ***Warning- picture heavy!***  I sat down to work on this and was determined to complete it in under an hour but not even close.  I guess some days you have the creative flow and others not.  I tried many different items because I am trying to destash as much as possible.  This jar will be filled to the brim with lots of goodies for the recipient.  :-) 

I began this jar by cutting a strip of canvas that I stamped with various images from Pink Paislee and then sprayed with Delphinium Glimmer Mist. (See picture below for better detail) I added the fabric strip to a vintage piece of lace that I dyed orange but it never seemed to take the deep orange color I had hoped for.  I am glad now because it worked perfectly with this project.  :-)  I used a vintage button card  layered with a tiny piece of purple vinyl(also vintage)  and a fish image that was highlighted with a brass library bracket.  I tied a piece of Martha Stewart purple seam binding with brown twine and a white button. 

The thin flora and fauna strip of paper is from Making Memories.  It's wrapped around the middle of the canvas to create more dimension and add some printed texture.  I created the rosette from a vintage account ledger  I picked up in Paris this summer. 

I added a small gummed tab with the word "joy" cut out that was stapled to the vintage button card.  The velvet leaf is Making Memories and the printed flower is from Prima. 

The velvet leaf is Prima paired with a Recollections purple rose and two cream flowers. 

 For the jar top, I added a green ruffle trim around the edges and a punched a large scallop from a piece of Daisy d's paper I have long cherished.  I added a label that I stamped on the canvas.  I kept this simple to not take away from the jar front. 

I really love creating altered art pieces and especially love it when I can use vintage goodies!  Thank you for stopping by and having a great weekend!

Double header Monday

It's Monday and while we prepare for a hoedown at school, it's Christmas on my blog for the moment.  I am ready to share two completely different styles for Elizabeth Mae's this week.  Last week, there were several new holiday images added to the site.  Have you seen them yet?  Click here to view.  ****Also when you stop by check out the call for the design team!***** Come join us!
I decided to use the Emma with present for my card.  I loved the Santa hat and ornament jammies. 

Totally non traditional with this one.  I wanted to make a fun card.  Lots of older supplies used for this cutie.  I had to pull the fun flock out for her trim on the hat and pajamas. 

Supplies used:

cardstock: Paper Studio

pattern paper: Rusty Pickle and Crate Doll Collection

image: Elizabeth Mae's

stamp: KI Memories

ink: Hero Arts black

rhinestones: craft

flock: Stampin' Up white

floss: Stampin' Up Sage Shadow

other: foam dots

After I made this card, I wanted something a little more shabby and  chic so I decided to use the spotted dress form image for my next card.

This card uses more current items.  I paired some Authentique with older Making Memories and like it.  I can't image how on earth someone uses an entire collection for one season.  Am I really that much of a hoarder?  I have items I can't part with or just never did use when I bought. 

Supplies for card:

cardstock: Paper Studio
