I kept my project for this challenge simple, but hopefully, to the point.  When I think of all the things my parents have done for me through the years, there's really only one thing to say:

This tag uses both Tabitha Designs papers and a digi stamp. The papers are the Basic Colors and the digi stamp is Patch and family.
I cut the tag on the Silhouette. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Please join us this next two weeks for our Parent's Day Challenge.

It's time for some mid-term inspiration on the All That Stickles blog, and several of the design team members have great projects featured. Our linky party color is True Blue Stickles.  So, I used it all over this card (along with Glam Pink and Yellow Stickles).

 

 

There's a lot going on with the card.  I used papers from one of our sponsors this month -- The Robin's Nest. I liked how they were glittery, just like the Stickles.



 

The image is a digi stamp I won from The Paper Nest called "Birthday Avery". Isn't she the sweetest?  She is colored with Copic markers. I used the 3 Stickle colors on the present, balloons, Avery's dress, and her hat. I placed the square image on a Spellbinder die cut paper. There are two colors of 3 Girl JAM ribbon on the card -- latte, from the coffee bundle and London blue from the Wine & Jewels bundle.  I used more of the 3 Stickles colors on star chipboard from UmWow Studio.  And last, but certainly not least, the sentiment is from Whimsical Designs. This is the Whimsical fun - Vol. 1 set.

Come join our True Blue linky party. You have until July 19.  Then, come back and join the All That Stickles design team for a Surf, Sand, and Stickles blog hop on Sunday, July 21.

True Confession Time - I don't like Glitter!

It's Wednesday!  I can see the weekend from here! And for most of you, this is probably a short work week besides.

I have a post up over at Get Inky Stamps today.  The current Get Inky challenge is glitter, and you can link up here.  But, fact is, I don't really like glitter.  Not at all.  I make a mess of it and get it EVERYWHERE.  From one end of the house to the other messy.  So, I used Stickles on my project instead.  Stickles are my friend.  They come to my rescue again and again. Hmm.  That was almost poetic! I'll have to work on that and write another couple lines, LOL.

So, back to the project! Here's my glitter card:

 

 

I used a Get Inky! digi stamp (sailboat) and paper pieced it, running it through my printer on different patterned papers 3 times.  I had never paper pieced a digi before, but it was easy to do.  Then, I fussy cut out each piece, got a corresponding Stickles color (True Blue, Christmas Red, and Icicle), spritzed a little water on my craft sheet, picked up a paint brush, and painted on the Stickles glitter glue.  Yeah, that's my kind of glitter.  Once the glue dried, I glued the paper pieces together, and cut out the background with a Spellbinder die. The sentiment is another Get Inky Stamp.  This one is from the Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set. 

 

I used Fancy Pants Down By The Shore 6x6 papers, several Spellbinders dies, 3 Girl JAM ribbon (this is some of the new gorgeous NAVY bundle),  and a decorative stick pin from Close To My Heart.
