Vintage cards

My goodness, almost a week has past without a blog post. Not acceptable Erika!!! How are all of you today? It is raining yet again and today is a crafting day so I'm over the moon excited about that. Wondering if my muse will take me to the land of paints and mixed media or cards and layouts. Time will tell right?

Today I've got a few cards to share with you that I've created using stamps from Scrolls Work. I had the opportunity to be a guest designer for this wonderful company and wanted to share with you the cards I created.

First a beautiful vignette card where I used a spellbinders die to create the look. I adore this stamp and know that I will use it often. The ribbon is a beautiful Shimmer Satin in Silver available at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Next a beautiful card using the stamp Abigail and my favorite Graphic 45 papers Steampunk Debutante. I first used a harlequin background stamp and masked in the face image. Then stamped the face with Versafine in brown. Love how this one turned out.

So if you are a stamper and love working with beautiful images, take a look at Scrolls Work. Unfortunately they are closing their doors, but there is a 60% savings on ALL stamps right now.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

PS- I've got another 4 projects to share over on the Tattered Angels blog today, so hop on by and say hello.

Sparkle N Sprinkle Untraditional Mothers Day Hop

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Untraditional Mother's Day Blog Hop, which begins at the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog. This is my first blog hop as a member of the Sparkle N Sprinkle Design Team and I'm so stinkin excited to be stamping again. This hop is all about celebrating the women in our lives and I hope that you have been following along

There have been so many amazing projects from the SNS design team and I hope that you take a moment to start from the beginning. If you have been following along, you should have hopped here from Eleanor Jenkins blog. This girl sure knows how to make things sparkly and stunning.

Today I've got a little card to share. For this card I've used the Dark Tulip Stamp from Stamp Set 327 . I've used a few different embossing powders for the outline. The first tulip uses Gala Pink and the second uses Indian Spark. Now what is a card without a little glitter right? This card has Neon Flamingo, Carnation , Parisian Mist and Black Ice Glitter as well as the coolest glitter tinsel ever called Moon Rise!!!

The silk had dyed ribbon is China Doll (available at Really Reasonable Ribbon) and I've created a folded pleat for some added dimension. Here is a close up of the details in the stamped image and the beautiful ribbon.

Now it is time to hop on over to Judy's blog to see a wonderful project. Thanks for leaving a comment before hopping along. Make sure you leave a comment at every stop for a chance to win. Good Luck and thank you so much for stopping by today

Until next time

Gray can be cheery too!!!

Hi Everyone. Hope you are all enjoying your week. The weather is quite nice here over the past few days, but still a wee bit cold at night. Our son had a t-ball practice yesterday and "hit one outta the park". Well at least a preschool sized park. Talk about one of the cutest things I've seen in a while.

I'm sharing with you today a card I made a little bit ago. One of my favorite color combos Gray and Yellow. I hope you enjoy it. I'll have something new for you later today. I've been creating like a mad woman, but you can't see the new ones until the next SNR magazine comes out, so make sure you look for them.



Just a little snippet for you. SNR has their June and July Calls up for projects. What a great way to showcase your art. Take a moment today and check out what they are looking for. Enter a submission. You know you wanna. And perhaps sign up for the forums and the magazine. The forums are free and filled with amazing information and the atmosphere is the best I've seen out there (and believe me, I'm in a whole lotta forums). And the magazine has amazing eye candy, tips and techniques, awesome articles. Shall I go on? The cost is so teeny tiny for what you receive.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to see you again tomorrow. Have an awesome day and remember to take a moment to enjoy the little things.

Happy Crafting
