An Open Book

This is to honor last week's Featured Stamper Irene (DandI93). I curled and popped up the main image panel so it looked more like an pages in an open book using the Nestabilities dies. The paper is the new Paisley Petals, sentiment is Style Beautiful, and flowers are from Garden Silhouettes. (Stampin' Up).
Butterfly is from Mark's Finest Papers Brick Wall set.

New Nestabilities!

I was so happy to be given two new Nestabilities die shapes to test out for the Product Review on Splitcoaststampers. I received the new Lacy Squares and Beaded Ovals sets. Both are so fabulous for creating the perfect frames! I will be experimenting even more with these new shapes, I have some ideas for even more projects. I didn't have too much time for my designs since I was away on vacation but now I am back and ready to go!

Elements of Style Pink and Suede

Today's Inspiration Challenge comes from the website Pink Taffy Designs that carries childrens clothing. I chose the apron in the picture, wish they had it in my size!All supplies used are Stampin' Up. Pirouette Pink, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla cardstocks, Soft Suede ribbon, pearls, textures embossing folder. Little oval tag is from the new set of Spellbinders Nestabilities Beaded Ovals. I love these!

Basic Grey Inspiration Challenge

I used the Mellow paper pack for the gold dp and the clouds dp for the main image panel. I embossed the Flourish Edges stamp by Basic Grey in clear on the gold paper and in Mustard on the main image. Carte Postale sentiment and bird by Stampin' Up with Bordering Blue and Very Vanilla cardstock, vanilla taffeta ribbon and cream half pearls. Small blue pearls by Recollections, Fleur de lis Spellbinders and Labels Four dies for frame.

Razzle Dazzle

Razzle Dazzle stamp set by SU with retired Just Delightful paper for today's color challenge to use Celer, Bashful Blue, and Melon Mambo. I used the Spellbinders Grand Borderabilities scallop die also.

Grand Scallops

Here are a couple of projects I made using the Grand Scallop Borderabilities die.

Travel Games Box

This will be a great item to take on long road trips and vacations. I used a garage sale find cigar box and used Stampin' Up's Game Night paper and some letter tiles I had in my embellishments stash. The "chess and checkerboard" sheet of designer paper will easily be folded up and put into the box for later game play. It is the perfect size! You can fill this with all kinds of miscellaneous game pieces. For this I have included the "board", dice, Yahtzee score cards, timer, pencil, checkers, playing cards.

Go Green

I used Best Creations shamrock paper with Garden Green and Whisper White cardstocks by SU with the Occasions mini set Go Green. The white panel was embossed with the Spellbinders Impressabilities die for added texture and also the Swiss Dot folder for the designer paper. Green is a color I almost never use but it sure works for St. Patrick's Day!
