So Doggone Sweet -- for The Paper Shelter

Our Christmas break is over at The Paper Shelter. We are back with weekly challenge for you to participate in. I hope you can join us!

The theme for our first challenge of 2025 is 'embellish it'.  As always, if you use a TPS image and you are chosen the winner, the prize is considerably better.  But, you can enter any challenge you would like. 

For the 'embellish it' theme, I have used the darling image A Walk in Style: 

I colored A Walk in Style with Copic markers.  Then I used a set of dies from Taylored Expressions to cutout the image and to back them.  The paw print paper is a digital paper from AMB Illustrations.  They ave some great pet papers! I found the paw print embellishments in my stash.  They are from The Paper Studio.  The sentiment is a clear stamp from Close To My Heart.  It is part of a set. 

Below is a graphic explaining the prize structure:

I hope you like my Walk in Style. I really enjoyed creating this 5x7 card. I also hope I see ou entered in The Paper Shelter challenge.  I'd love to see what you create.

Ladies Night Blog Hop! Woop Woop! It's here!!

I'm super excited about today!  It's the start of the blog hop with 2 incredible teams -- Great Impressions Stamps Online DT, and the Cut Card Stock Design Team.   This is gonna be good!

You should have arrived here from Gloria's blog, and I'm guessing by now you've seen tons of great inspiration!  If you stumbled across this hop, you'll want to start at the beginning at the Great Impressions Blog.

I used the banner above for inspiration, along with some fantastic goodies from Cut Card Stock, to create this:

The sentiment is a stamp from Great Impressions Stamps.   It's F622, Make History.   I inked it twice, once in black, once in red, and cut the words out individually.   I used Double-Sided Adhesive squares from Cut Card Stock to give the words more dimension.

The high heeled shoe card is a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe.  I created it using the awesome papers at Cut Card Stock.  All the papers on the high heeled shoe card are from the Pop Tones Sample Pack.

Embellishments for the high heeled shoe card -- feathers and bling -- are from my stash.  The gold foil bow is from The Paper Studio -- Spare Parts.

There's a sale this weekend at the Great Impressions Store.  Use discount code April2016 to save 15% off your order.  There are some adorable retired stamps that have reappeared!  I can't wait to shop!

A Spring Thank You -- for DigiStamps4Joy

It's "New Release" Sunday again at DigiStamps4Joy.  There are several great ones again this week, so make sure you check out the store!  I used the Flower Frame digi to make this springtime thank you card:

I colored the image with Copic markers, using some subtle springtime flowers.

I used a Spellbinders die for the decorative square, a Cheery Lynn die for the butterfly, a Close To My Heart stamp for the sentiment, some 3 Girl JAM lace and ribbon, and paper from The Paper Studio. The butterfly has some iridescent paper I've had so long, I don't know where it's from. The gorgeous stickpins were made for me by a crafty friend.  I just love the touch of elegance they give!
Make sure you check out the other wonderful inspiration on the DigiStamps4Joy blog!
