I used Simon Says Stamps Mix and Match Circle stamp set for this card. 

The inks were a mixture of a bunch from my stash-all different companies and many are no longer for sale.

The sentiment is Art Deco Birthday Greetings from Poppy Stamps.

That is all from me today. I hope that you join us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!

Lawn Fawn Card-Day Five of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

I cannot believe it is already December 5th!! Only twenty more days to Christmas shop. Putting that in writing just scared the pants off of me!!

Today I am going to show you a card I created using Lawn Fawn stamps. I mixed two stamp sets-Making Frosty Friends and Winter Sparrows to create this card. The background paper is from Bazzill's Halloween collection (I love paper that I can use after the holiday!!) and the black label is from My Mind's Eye.

Didn't it turn out cute? I especially love the embossing paste on the hat and along the base with the glitter. It really "makes" the card.

I want to thank you for stopping by during this time. It is so fun to show you all what I have created for the day.

Paper Trey Ink Challenge

Paper Trey Ink kicked off their 5th anniversary celebration today. They issued a challenge to make a project that was inspired by one of their design team members favorite projects. I chose to use Dawn McVey's card. I LOVE almost anything she makes and am constantly stalking her blog for new ideas. Thank you Dawn for all the inspiration you have given me over the last year.

Below is the card by Dawn that inspired me.

One of the products that she listed as her "favorite" on her list was the Mat Stack #4 Die. I chose to use the colors on her card and the Mat Stack #4 die and stamp set on the two cards I created.

Card #1

The first card I made is just a simple Valentine. I used the Mat Stack #4 stamp set and the 2010 Love Tags to make this card. I then placed two heart glitter stickers over my stamped images to complete the card. Simple but effective!!

Card #2

The second card I created for the challenge I used almost all Paper Trey Ink products. The main image is a Mat Stack #4 stamp and die, and the overlaid frame is a Tag Its #10 Stamp. I embossed Raspberry Fizz paper with a Sizzix embossing folder and the butterfly I die cut from a 6" by 6" piece of Lily Bee paper. I really like how this card came out and it will go to a co-worker tomorrow. I am forever forgetting people's birthdays!! I should just make these type of cards in bulk!!

I just want to thank all of Paper Trey Ink's design team for all their hard work. Their designs are so inspiring and make me want to get all the products they use. That is a sign of good marketing!!

Thank you for looking and hope you are all having a fabulous time watching the Superbowl. I am choosing to create!!
