Just for You

I made this cute milk cartons and container to house some nail polish and lip gloss for a cute little friend of mine. I loved this paper from Fancy Pants and thankfully it's double-sided.

I re-sized the milk cartons and the holder to make it smaller. The tag was also cut with my Cameo, then stamped with various stamps from PTI.

The yellow twine makes the perfect closure and will allow her to re-tie once she gets to her goodies.


 

You Are Fabulous!

This week we have a square sketch from My Time Made Easy, MTMEPPS62, and it's a great one. Thanks Tangii! *wink*

I grabbed my beloved Spreading Spring Cheer paper, the flowers are from Sensational Stems and the sentiment is from Sensational Sentiments. I stamped my flowers to match the paper, aren't they adorable?!

Be sure to visit the My Time Made Easy blog to see the sketch for yourself and to see even more inspiring designs from the rest of the designers. I hope you find time to use the sketch; if you do, please link it up on the My Time Made Easy blog so we can take a look. You'll also want to read about how you can win this month's prize pack.

Blowing Kisses

I combined a few challenges for this card, FTL191 and CQC137; the colors were too pretty to pass up. I embossed the white panel with one of my fave embossing folders.

I wanted to use a pinwheel in place of a flower; I cut it to size with my Cameo; then stamped each with watermark ink using background stamps from Market Street Stamps.

I cut the brad legs off with scissors and glued it to the center of the pinwheel; sentiment is from Li'l Inker Designs.

Life is Good

I pulled out some Studio Calico goodness for this week's Viva la Verve sketch, this pack is called Abroad. Naturally, it's about traveling; and with graduations coming up, I thought I might get a few cards made up within that theme.

The circular pattern is from from Hero Arts/ Studio Calico and the rest of the images and sentiment are from Verve. I wanted the image panel to look collage-y, hopefully I succeeded.

I sprayed the doily with some Mr Huey spray in Classic Tan for a touch of age.

Reach For The Sky!

My nephew's High School graduation is on Friday night; so proud of you Nick!

I was going to make his card and gift card to match his school colors, but saw this super cute paper from Echo Park and decided otherwise.

I used the Mojo Monday 241 sketch and immediately thought to use PTI's Up Up & Away set along with a sentiment. I used Echo Park's This & That: Charming for the background paper as well as the patterns for the balloons. I just stamped with outlines over the top and called it done.

The gift card holder was cut with my Cameo using the same Echo Park papers, just the 12x12 version instead of the 6x6 card size version and some cardstock. The stamps on the gift card are Hero Arts/ Studio Calico....love them! I even spritzed some Mr Huey spray in Classic Tan on the circle and I love the look. Then, I clear embossed the sentiment making it look super special. Of course, I am pretty sure Nick won't spend much time admiring the outside once he sees what's inside. LOL

The last few things I added were some ribbon and BG magnets as a closure.

Cheer Up, Buttercup

I used last week's sketch from the clean&simple blog, FTL190. I got my color palette from the Colour Q, CQC136.

I pulled out some older PTI goodies for this one; Background Basics: Polka Dots II and Scattered Showers. The flower was cut with my Cameo and then layered together and adhered at the end of the sentiment strip.
