Shake that Tutu!

What could possibly be better than a card with our Tutu and Ballerina Fri-Dies??

Anyone know the answer??

Ok, I'll tell you...it's a Shaker Card with Tutu and Ballerina Fri-Dies!

Jeanne is shaking things up with this adorable shaker card!

She stamped a happy background using our Pretty Posies stamp set, then cut out a shape for her Ballerina Fri-Die cut Tutu dancer to solo in. She filled the back with Sistahood Sparkle sequins (they are on sale!) and finished it off with a sweet sentiment from Tutu.

This would be a great thank you card or congratulations card.

Breathe It Will Be OK

We are proud to be sponsoring the challenge at Time Out Challenges!

There is still a little time left to play in their current challenge which carries the theme of Breast Cancer Awareness and Friendship. Something most near and dear to my heart!

Our Shona is also their Shona and she created this card using our Breathe stamp set to inspire your creativity. It took my breath away!

Here's how she made this stunning creation!

"Firstly I gathered all my pink inks and lined them up. I cut a panel of white CS and began stamping with the shape from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Breathe stamp set, keeping the end of it in the middle of the panel on the left hand side. I just moved it around slightly each time, alternating the colours as I went. When I was happy with it I cut it down slightly and put on the card front using foam tape.

The sentiment (from the same stamp set) was white heat embossed on a piece of plain vellum. I cut it down to a rectangle shape but then used the smaller circle die from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Ornament Tag Fri-Dies to die-cut the end of it to cause a curved edge. I added small pieces of double-sided tape behind the words and pressed it into place, and glued on sequins from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Calling All Sistah's Sistahood Sparkle Sequin Mix

Just Dance!

Happy Wednesday!

Shona has an absolutely delightful card for us today!

She used our new Tutu (it will be back in stock in about a week!) with Bubble Box Fri-Dies and Full On Floral stamps. And she added a little sparkle from our special Sistahood Sparkle sequin mix!

That little ballerina looks darling fussy cut and floating above the cute sentiment.
I love how she die cut the Bubble Box shape from the Full On Floral background. It looks awesome AND I'll bet she has a pretty cool label shape to use on another project when she's ready :)

Here's what Shona said about her creative process

"I sandwiched a piece of white, sparkly, slightly see-thru ribbon between two pieces of cardstock so the ballerina looks like she is floating in mid-air. I used two corners of the Full on Floral stamp to stamp the edges of the die, masking off the rest of the area with a piece of CS and alternating the corners. To add some interest I used drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White on the middle of all the flowers."  

I hope you find some time to get your ink on today :)
