Box With Scallops


This is a fairly simple project thanks to the Bag With Scallops Sizzix die. I used Very Vanilla textured 12x12" cardstock. Stamped Medallion in Ruby Red, I {heart} Hearts in same color, cut this out and mounted to a punched heart from matching cardstock. Shaded edges of box in pink. Added sentiment from Well Scripted and a Very Vanilla hodgepodge hardware frame.

Miss P.M. Essie


Don't you just love the look on this cow's face? Cracks me up :)
I used this Whipper Snapper image along with Stampin's Up's Pattern Pack designer paper (retired) and Regal Rose with Whisper White cardstocks. The paper flower is from 10 punched scallops that were crumpled and layered. Thank you Mercy Kerin for this sweet idea!

Vintage Vogue


I wanted to play in today's SCS color challenge but had a lot of trouble getting the right balance with the required colors of Crushed Curry, Bravo Burgundy, and Basic Gray. I used a sheet of the Curry patterned paper from the Welcome Neighbor pattern pack from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I stamped and cut out the flowers (a bit of Pretty In Pink mixed in with the Burgundy), added some Fire rhinestone brads and popped them up a bit on the Whisper White panel that was stamped with the vine flourish in Crushed Curry. Leaves are a mix of Old Olive edged in Artichoke. Razzleberry polka dot ribbon (reversed) with Basic Gray cardstock that was edged with the new scallop border punch.

Good Neighbors


Cardstocks used were Bashful Blue, Barely Banana and Whisper White. New stamp set Good Neighbors with Apricot, Saffron, Banana, and Mustard inks. White taffeta ribbon and Soft Subtles brads along with white gel pen dots and new scallop border punch to embellish.

Bucket Handbag


This is for the VSN mini challenge to use the black magic technique. I used Chocolate Chip cardstock and the Sizzix (SU texture plate kit #4) Squares. I used the template from melstamps that she graciously shared, found in the techniques challenge forum on Splitcoast.
Cut the handbag pattern out first so it will fit through the Big Shot. Embossed over top of entire bag in clear. Stamp set is Carte Postale which was stamped in white and then colored with Prismacolor pencils. You could also try the SU watercolor pencils or crayons for your coloring. Added piercing, decorative brads, SU gray taffeta ribbon.
