The Cameo Spotlight DT Announcement

Published on August 1, 2012, by

It seems like an eternity since I announced the creation of The Cameo Spotlight! Now I can finally introduce the brand new Cameo Spotlight Design Team!!! First, I want to celebrate with a Silhouette Cameo card I made for this occasion. I cut out the word, “FEEL” and then embossed each letter with a different embossing folder. This way the recipient can actually feel the texture of the word “FEEL”. I also typed and cut out the word “better” and welded it together in the Studio software program. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. I know it doesn’t seem like a celebration themed card but in a way, it is. I’ve been “FEELing” so many butterflies in my stomach lately that creating this card was a therapeutic way to distract me from my nervous excitement.

You’ll have to hop on over to The Cameo Spotlight challenge blog to meet the FANTASTIC new Design Team! While your there please leave a comment introducing yourself and say hi to the the Design Team. We’d LOVE to hear from you. See you there!!!

The Craft’s Meow June Preview Day 4 of 5

Published on June 20, 2012, by

I have 2 cards to share with you today for The Craft’s Meow preview. The first is a card using the very cool Summer Fun stamp set. (The Summer Fun set is June’s gift with a purchase of $50.) I wanted to create a card that had the look and feel of an invitation to a pool party. I used my Spellbinders Labels Fourteen dies to create the shape of a pool. The second card features the cute stamp set called Oh Deer. This set has a really adorable deer but I decided to show you how you could use the smaller accent stamps. The other designers have used the sweet little deer so please go check out their cards.

Click HERE to check out all the details and to see what the rest of the TCM Design Team has created! (If you leave a comment you will be eligible to win each stamp set featured in a day from TCM. If there are 2 sets in a day, there will be 2 winners! The deadline to leave those comments is 9:00pm PDT each day) Pop back by tomorrow for BLOG HOP!

Published on June 19, 2012, by

Today I have a really CAS card to share with you. If you haven’t stopped by my blog in the past few days you’ll see that the last 3 days I’ve been showing you previews of the newest stamp sets to be released from The Craft’s Meow. I used the Lovely Labels stamp set for this card. It’s a very pretty set that’s designed so that it can be used with the Labels Fourteen Spellbinders dies.

RetroSketches #13

Published on May 26, 2012, by

The weeks have to stop going by so quickly! It seems like the last RetroSketch post was only a few days ago! Today’s sketch is based on a card I made back in September of last year. You can click HERE to take a peek at it. I followed my original design fairly closely but wanted to use a different color palette this time. Instead of using patterned paper for the horizontal strip I used a piece of vellum. I cut out a section of the card base and then reattached the vellum where the removed section use to be. I like the frosty dimensional look it gives the card.

I recently received my prize from Hero Arts and was itching to use the Playful Flowers and Butterflies and Floral Framelits Die and Stamp Sets! Thanks so much Hero Arts—I’m thoroughly enjoying these fabulous sets!!! I also used the Designer Woodgrain and Envelope Background stamps. The sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings stamp set by Hero Arts as well. I hope you’ll join us this week at RetroSketches! Last week we had some super fantastic submissions!!! Head on over to RetroSketches to see what Arielle, Kasia and Laurie have created this week! While you’re there you can also check out the fabulous ROCKstar and SHOUTouts!

I used the “Get Well Soon” sentiment so that I could submit this card into the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol challenge—the theme is Encouragement. I’m also going to link this up with the fun flower challenge over at the Young Crafter’s Unite Blog. I’ve recently discovered their challenge blog and the Design Team has fantastic samples that are really inspiring! You”ll have to go check them out!!!

Happy Mother’s Day Butterfly

Published on April 18, 2012, by

I think this is the first time I’ve posted 3 times in one day! I made another card for the CAS-ual Friday’s Opposite’s Attract Challenge. This time I’ve used one of my favorite stamp sets by The Craft’s Meow called Beautiful Spring. The sentiment is  from another TCM set called To My Parents. The challenge is being sponsored by The Craft’s Meow this week. This challenge was really inspirational for me. I loved working with the color wheel. This is my last post for the day—I promise!!! (If you are looking for The Craft’s Meow post for today just scroll down to the 3rd post or just click here.)

I was looking for blog challenges to participate in and found the CAS-ual Fridays Weekly Challenge Blog. This challenge blog focuses on clean & simple designs. This weeks challenge is to create a 4 x 9 card. I absolutely adore CAS style of cardmaking. Sometimes it can be more difficult to design in this style because you have to be conservative and leave a lot of white space. You can check out the challenge HERE.

Stamps: Butterflies and Print by Hero Arts
Paper: Out of Print by BasicGrey
Ink: Memento–Tuxedo Black by Tsukineko, Inc.
