Thanks So Much

 Hello & Happy Monday, Everyone!

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Today I have another set of cards that I made up using the same Parts & Pieces Challenge that I used on yesterday's blog post.

I pulled out my In Symmetry Suite and got to work.

I started with a Flirty Flamingo cardbase that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. This is my favorite embossing folder because I like the texture it gives to my card without alot of attention on it. Next I cut 3 different DSP patterns from the Sweet Symmetry DSP 3 x 5 and I cut them in half at 2 1/2. I used 2 different patterns on each card.

I stamped my flowers and sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set and diecut them with the Circle Layering Framelits. I layered that onto a Scalloped Circle with Bumble Bee cardstock. Lastly, I added some Iridescent Rhinestones (SO PRETTY) and a Just Jade bow on each.

I love these so much.....you will probably see me using these designs on many card sets to come!

Card Details:

Stamps: In Symmetry

Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee, Just Jade, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee, Basic White, Sweet Symmetry DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Just Jade Ribbon (retired), Iridescent Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is a great way to use up scraps!

Parts & Pieces Challenge

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday, Everyone!

It's a beautiful sunny morning here in PA after a very cold day yesterday.

Temps are to get to 50 this afternoon but it's to get very windy again.

We just can't seem to shake the wind but I guess that's a tell tail sign we are headed into March!

On Friday I decided to play along with a Facebook Challenge that Marisa Alvarez did during her Thursday FB Live that she does every week on her FB page.

This challenge was called parts & pieces and she tells you what you need like sizes in cardstock & DSP. Then it's up to you to design your cards with those measurements. She used the Honey Bee bundle and the Friendly Hello from the SaleABRation offering.

We can decorate our cards however we please but have to use the "Parts & Pieces" that she gives us.

Here is the challenge...

Here are my cards...

My cardbase measured 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

I ran one half of my cardbase thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. 

Next I cut my Pansy Petals DSP to the challenge size of 3 x 5. That 3 x 5 piece we can cut down but the size cannot be any bigger. I cut mine down. 2 pieces measured 1 x 3. And 1 piece measures 3 x 3. I staggered those pieces on mixing up the patterns.

My diecut sentiment panel is from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped my sentiment on it from the Pansy Patch stamp set and glued it down.

Next I diecut my pretty flowers from the Pansy Petals DSP using the coordinating Pansy Dies. I diecut a large and a small pansy from the DSP and layered them along side my sentiment. Lastly, I added a Bumble Bee Gingham bow and some Polished Pink In Color Jewels for a pop of sparkle. 

I was so thrilled with these and love the texture that the embossing folder gives my cards. 

I made a pack of 5 and put them on my card rack to sell.

Card Details:

Stamps: Pansy Patch

Ink: Polished Pink

Cardstock: Pale Papaya, Basic White, Pansy Petals DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Hippo & Friends Dies, Pansy Dies, Bumble Bee Gingham, In Color Jewels, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
