Bacon & Eggs: PPPR DT Day

Hello Everyone, Happy Sunday! It's design team day for me over at The Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Blog :D

I used many different files today on my print and cut card. I went with print and cut because I wanted to be able to make quick duplicates of this card.

Files Used:

Bacon & Eggs Cutting Files, Cupid Cutting Files, Man, Oh Man Pattern Pack, Summer Brights Chevron & Stripes

I typed up the sentiment in my silhouette and since this was a print and cut I just typed it right on top of the card. I did decide to add a button and some jute but when I reproduce these, they will just be plain. I added some highlights to my bacon, egg and hearts using a white gel pen. The black stitching was created using my black gel pen. I wasn't sure if I wanted faces on my fun food but in the end decided to go with some Peachy Keen Stamps.

I hope you all enjoy my fun whimsical card?

 thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! 

YNS Fun Friday: You make my heart sing!

TGIF everyone! I am here to share my Fun Friday creation with you all. August will be wrapping up before we know it, so be sure to play along with us over at the YNS Blog. I used the super pretty digital stamp called "Blossom Birds" for todays card.

I used both this months Inspirational photo and Sketch for my cards layout.

I choose my colors based on the Inspirational photo, I thought that purple flowers would be a perfect match. I wanted to make the flowers look like pansies, my grandmas favorite <3 I colored everything using my Spectrum Noirs markers. I am hoping my first order of Copics will be here tomorrow, so I can start mixing and matching markers.

Be sure to go see what the other YNS design team members created for their projects!

Timeless Twine Design Team Day- Planner Fun

Hello Everyone, Happy Monday! It's design team day for me over at the Timeless Twine Blog :D

 I am here to share a fun little project with you all today, using some awesome products from Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz :) I am very OCD when it comes to my design teams, and I like to be organized and know when my projects are due. I use a monthly/weekly calendar planner to stay on track with my commitments/projects.

I decided to make a fun little note keeper to go inside my planner that can easily be removed for when I get a new one, each year.

 

 

 

Items Used for Project:

Planner Stamp Clear Stamp Set "PlanNerd", Small Brown Kraft Bags, Lemonade Yellow Bakers Twine, June Embellishment Kit

 

 

As you can see, I used the stamp set in multiple different spots and in multiple different ways. I like the idea of the kraft bag because, I can put my journaling cards and notes inside and that way my calendar can stay less cluttered with writing. You can make multiple cards to go inside, which I plan on doing, I just did one for now so you can see. The bag is attached in my planner by a little round pin so it can move around easily without getting snagged or damaged. I used many different items from the embellishment kit and incorporated them onto my bag as well.

All of these items are available for purchase over in the BellaCreationz4u Etsy store!! If you like to stay organized than these are the perfect products and project to do so.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
