PSC40:Favorite Scripture/Quote Sketch

Hey everyone..welcome back for another FAB weekly challenge with The Perfect Sentiment We have another fun challenge in store for you.

This week your challenge is to create a card using your favorite scripture or quote as your sentiment (which must be on the front of your card) and the twist is to use the sketch below (I'll show you this in just a moment).

Here's my take on this week's challenge...

And here's the sketch......

This was designed by one of my PSCB DT members, Karen Conner

For this card I used some CS from the Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Collection & from the Lily Kate collection from Basic Grey.

My bow slipped down a bit but I didn't notice this until after I took my pics..sigh. Anyway..I tied some yummy crinkle ribbon from May Arts across a strip of vintage lace. You can see some bling from Prima back there too : )

Love fabric flowers..this one is distressable/mistable and is so tattery looking..LOVE!!

A little more of that lovely Prima bling : )

I really don't have any scriputural stamps in my collection-gonna have to change that-so luckily I had some wonderful sayings from Quick Quotes. The vintage button is one of my many finds while out junkin.

A little sneaky peak at the inside : )

I really love how just lightly sanding the edges of this TH CS changes the look of the card.

Believe In The Beauty Of Your Dreams

Hey everyone...sorry I haven't posted in a few days..it has been crazy busy around my house. My hubby's birthday is July 3rd so every year  I do his birthday party the first Saturday after the 4th. So with working, celebrating the 4th Of July and preparing & having his party this past Saturday, I haven't had much time to blog or craft...BUT I will be making up for that this week : )  I'll share some pics from his Hawaiin Luau party later this week. It was a total blast and we had a great day celebrating my hubby's birthday with family and friends!!

Today I wanted to share a LO I created using more of the fab DCWV paper stacks.

I used the Tradewinds Stack for this LO. I absolutely love this stack!! The papers are just beautiful & you get 24 sheets that have foil accents on them. You can see some of that detail on the butterlfly I fussy cut.

I misted the CS with some Mama Sings The Blues Glimmer Mist. Here you can see more of the foil detail...I wrapped some packaging string & added a small brass key.

I fussy cut a large flower from one of the 12x12 papers...I'll show you a closer pic in a minute. I found this awesome large brown/brass button in the clearance bin at Joann's awhile back. It fit perfectly in this LO. The twigs you see are from a package of moss from another project.

Here you can see the flower a little better & catch some of the detail from the fussy cutting I did. I cut into the middle of the flower as well so it would have more depth and pop up from the page much like a real flower would do. Wanna know where the white flower came from?? Well my daughter & I had matching white flip flops from my outdoor wedding 3 summers ago...I re-purposed the white flower from those flip flops : )

I had some really cool burlap/cotton type fabric I picked up in the remnant bin. I cut a strip (which I also used as a mat underneath the CS) inked the edges a bit...frayed the edges & tied it around the CS.

I topped it off with a vintage wooden button clipped to the fabric with a garment pin from Making Memories.

I love this fussy cut butterfly. The foiling is just gorgeous!! I stamped my sentiment on a scrap piece of the fabric...folded it up...used a Tim Holtz Memo Pin to hold the butterfly & voila!!

I'm really pleased with how this LO turned out. I have it displayed in my room & I love it!!

Thanks for stopping by...don't forget about the First 100 Followers Giveaway I'm having. You can read all about it HERE.

Happy Scrappin!!

Sparkly Wood Mini : )

Hey everyone...I hope you all had a happy and safe 4th of July : )  Today I wanted to share with you a wood mini I created using nothin but DCWV paper & cardstock. This is created from the The Rustic Stack. I love the tones & glossy papers in this stack. It really has that vintage feel that I love.

Love this Prima flower..it just goes so perfectly with the Rustic stack.

I fussy cut these flowers from one of the 12x12 papers in the stack...added some gold tone bling pieces from Mon Ami Gabby. These come in a container as individual pieces so you can use as many or as little as you like. Love these!!

More of the fussy cut flowers with the same bling pieces. I also added some Glossy Accents to the swirlies on this paper...just to make it pop a bit more.

Here's a closer look at the centers of the flowers. I glued each one down individually. I have these in a few other colors..they are a lot of fun to use on various projects.

The paper on the back is glossy so it has a really nice feel on your hands when you pick it up and flip through the pages.

I love to make minis and this was another fun one to create. I enjoy using the bare wood minis from Kaiser Craft...just opens up the door to creativity when working with a blank canvas.

Thanks for stopping by my blog & for checking out what I've been up to. Don't forget about the First 100 Followers Giveaway I'm having...you can read all about it HERE.

PSC39:Anything Goes with Red, White & Blue

Happy 4th of July my friends!!! The challenge we have for you today here at The Perfect Sentiment is perfect for this wonderful holiday and it's an "Anything Goes" challenge which I think most everyone loves since you have so many creative opportunities with this type of challenge.

Here are the details for this week's challenge..."In honor of Independence Day we are letting you celebrate your freedom by choosing the occasion for your sentiment. You are also allowed to choose the type of project you would like to create. Card, Tag, ATC, Altered Art etc.". Yay...I just LOVE these types of challenges : )

Here's my project for this week...

I made a 4th of July Amercian Pride bucket. I used one of the French floral buckets left over from my wedding...great way to re-purpose an item you aren't using anymore.

I cut some star shapes out of various cardstock & paper collections using a cart from my Cricut. I then added some Americana embellis to top them off & adhered them to some skewer sticks I inked up.

Here's the backside...has to look nice from all angles right???

This was such a fun project to create. Not only is this an item I can proudly display in my home in honor of our Nation's Freedom but it's also a great way to up-cycle an item you are no longer using.

Now for some amazing inspiration from my fellow DT Members........

Hello Sweet Friend.......

Hi everyone...I wanted to share a card I made over the weekend using DCWV's Chateau Lavender Paper stack. It's no secret that I am slightly obsessed with purple..lol so I of course LOVE this paper stack.

The only papers I used on this card are from DCWV, the Chateau Lavender Paper stack & their Neutrals CS stack. I cut the tag & postcard from one of the image sheets inside the Chateau paper stack.

I sprayed the tags with some water...dried them and rubbed them with some Walnut Stain distress ink..then I went back over and used some Dusty Concord. I like how it makes them look like they were left in a box up in an old leaky attic or something.

Fussy cut this floral piece from one of the 12x12 pages. I love it when they put images like this on the cardstock..this allows you to use it on more than just one project since you can cut out the images you want and still have more of the paper left for something else. Little bit of Prima bling in the background : )

Another floral piece I fussy cut. This time I layered it with a burlap flower I die cut. The pearl is from the Prima bling. Since I wasn't using the entire piece of bling on this card I just cut the pieces I wanted and used the pears for the flower centers. Another great way to make your embellis go further : )

I followed the same theme & techniques from the front to the inside.

Isn't this paper clothespin to die for??? I fussy cut this out of the Chateau Lavender stack...attached it to the tag..added a flower and voila!

I forgot to mention this earlier but I used some vintage seam binding I've picked up during my junkin excursions. It just goes so perfectly with this card I think.
