Freckled Fawn + Waffle Flower Special Blog Hop

I have some fun cards to share with you today! Waffle Flower is teaming up with Freckled Fawn to bring you some awesome inspiration for Spring! Two members from each of our design teams are sharing projects today, including me!  Pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog and the Freckled Fawn Blog to see how we paired awesome Waffle Flower stamps and dies with the cutest embellishments from Freckled Fawn!

I loved this collaboration so much!  Here are the cards I made:

For this card, I paired the Gemstone Stamp Set with some cute goodies from the April OHDEERME Kit.  I stamped the lines with 4-Sweet Lilac ink from the Spring Blend Ink Pad.  I love the all the little bits and pieces on this one!  I had fun layering them all :)

I featured an awesome square doily from Freckled Fawn and the Congrats Stamp Set and die on this next one:

Isn't that doily cool?  I cut the edge off and layered it onto the center of my card front.  I added a bit of patterned paper and clustered the rest over the top of it.  The felt sticker and epoxy hearts are from the April OHDEERME Kit as well.  The banner was stamped with 10-Wild Orchard ink from the Summer Blend Ink Pad.

One more card to share- this one mixes clouds, hearts, and stitching :)

I stamped the clouds from the Rain Check Stamp Set with white ink and then stamped the stitched heart from the Flutter Stamp Set with 12-Navy ink from the Summer Blend Ink Pad over the top.  I also stamped the sentiment in black.  I stitched over the top of all the stamping with my sewing machine and gray thread.  I added a little yellow splatter and then added my embellishments, an adorable epoxy cloud yellow epoxy dots from the Neon collection.

Don't you think Freckled Fawn and Waffle Flower are perfect together? :)  I do!  I really had fun with these!

Notions Card for the Waffle Flower Challenge

Good morning!  Today I'm popping on early to share a card I made for the new Waffle Flower Challenge!  There are two challenges to choose from this round:

I went with the second one- I was so inspired to create a card with white space!  I wanted to use the Notions set this time and here is what I made with it:

I started with a white card base.  I stamped many of the smaller images up the right hand side of my card with some fun pinks, aqua, and orange inks.  I left the left hand side blank on purpose. :)  I stamped my sentiment onto vellum using Jet Black Staz On ink.  I sewed the panel to the stamped card base using pink thread, creating a messy look on purpose.

Well, I hope you have time to check out this round of the Waffle Flower Challenge!  There is lots of time to play along and there is a chance to win your pick of Waffle Flower stamp sets too!  No excuses hee!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

An Embossed Hello Card

Today I have a card I'm pretty proud of to share with you!  If you happened to watch Teresa Collins' segments on HSN on Monday, you may have seen this among the samples on her table!!  It was pretty exciting to see my cards on TV- and wasn't Teresa great??  I loved watching!

For this card, I chose a few of my favorite embossing folders from the Teresa Collins Ebosser Collection.  I ran each one through my Ebosser with white cardstock.  I cut them into strips and then adhered them onto my card.  I used a little bit of Xyron Mega Runner Adhesive in the center of each strip to secure them to my card.  I stayed away from the edges so that my sewing would be easy and my needle wouldn't get gunked up with adhesive.  I sewed along the edges of each of the strips with a zig-zag stitch.

After it was all sewn, I embellished it with some fun goodies from the Teresa Collins You Are My Happy collection- I love the colors in this one!  These coral sequins might be my favorite ever! :)

I'm so glad I had time to pop on and share this card with you today!
