Momenta Butterfly Garden Layout and Fussy Cutting

Pastels are a huge trend right now. You can see them in Fashion, Home Decor and Paper crafting. When I received my latest design team products from Momenta, The Butterfly Gardens paper stack screamed at me. Well since it is filled with butterflies, maybe it was more like a soft whisper, but you know what I mean lol.

Today I am going to share with you a layout I created using the Butterfly Garden Paper pad, Butterfly Embossed Cardstock messages and Butterfly Mini Puffy Icon Stickers. The combination was perfect for a very girly layout of our little girl in her favorite pink jacket.

I also used a sentiment sticker from the My Style Puffy Stickers sheet to tie in the big fabric flower. Here are a few photos of the layout for you.

I did a lot of fussy cutting with the papers to create embellishments and the flowers and butterflies are great to do this with. 

 I also added a little Rock Candy Distress Stickles to the pieces I fussy cut, to give them a little blingage.

 Here is the complete layout. Everything has been adhered using Helmar Adhesives and I added a little distressing to the edges of the layout.

That is it for me today. I hope you all have a great weekend. Tomorrow, I'm going to select a winner for my small blog candy that I have so if you haven't entered , you can find the post HERE.

Until then

Dixie Pieces March Kit- Tangerine Sea

Lately I've been on a big Authentique Papers kick, so when I received my March Kit from Dixie Pieces, to say I was thrilled would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. The new Tangerine Seas kit from Dixie Pieces is filled with the Authentique Papers Gathering collection as well as some beautiful papers from Echo Park.

One of the things I'm loving the most about Dixie Pieces kits are the fibers that are included. This month there is Pink Paislee Mistables trim, lush brown corduroy, and super sweet twine. First off I wanted to share with you a few cards I created using this months Dixie Pieces kit followed by a few layouts.

Next I created these layouts and I'm loving how they turned out. I do so enjoy distressed edges hehe.

So check out Dixie Pieces and grab yourself one of the March Tangerine Seas Kits. They are chalk full of goodness and this month even has a great script stamp. Until next time

My Core’dinations Creative Frenzy

There is no better card stock on the market than Core'dinations. I'm finding I immediately reach for it whether Gemstone, Black Magic, Vintage or White Wash. So when I saw the Core'dinations Design Team call go up, I KNEW I just had to throw my name in the ring.

I've created 2 new projects and will share a few oldies but goodies as well. Hoping that more than 3 projects isn't going to hurt me. How do you narrow it down to 3 when you use this stuff on almost everything???!!!???

First off I have a pretty card using the Gemstone Collection. I love dry embossing and Core'dinations Cardstock is beautiful when you emboss it. I've used Helmar Premium Craft glue for the entire card. This card was made specifically for the call

Next I created an altered frame using Black Magic and Gemstone Collections. I so love how the entire project turned out. The colors are simply perfect and the Black Magic Collection really makes your embossing/sanding/tearing POP!!!This altered frame was made specifically for the call.

Here is a close up of the layered flowers. I really wanted to have a the purple shine, so the Gemstone/Black Magic layers are perfect for one another.

Now for an older card that really screams summer time!!! I love the citrus color palette I used. It really shows off the torn edges and the distressing.

How about some "boo-tiful" Black Magic again? The contrast between the black and the colors is truly amazing!!!

And finally a layout showcasing how well the White Wash collection as well as Core Essentials cardstock tear and distress. I love how you get these little surprises of color and I know if you use Core'dinations, you understand exactly what I mean hehe.

I'm so hoping that a spot on this amazing design team is in the cards. I'd love to hear all of your comments about my projects and also let me know what your favorite Core'dinations collection is.

Let the patience kick in and the waiting begin
