Hope Has Wings Card

Hello all!  Happy Wednesday.  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with this breast cancer themed card.
I started by stamping the wings from the VO Wings stamp set on vellum, heat embossing it and fussy cutting around them.  The card base uses paper from DCWV's Minty Lace and Paper Lace 6x6" stacks.  I used white satin ribbon along the top and double sided pink satin ribbon to make the breast cancer ribbon between the wings.
To finish off the card, I added a tag with a sentiment from the VO Wings stamp set and put a tie of Pink Midnight Trendy Twine on it.   A few dots of white Nuvo Crystal Drops and it was done!
Here is a look at the stamps I used:

Remember, we have our Mood Board #11 challenge going on right now! Here is the inspiration photo for it. You can use the pictures, theme, and/or colors to enter.

The sweetest things...

Good crafty morning to you all! I'm back to share another scrapbook layout.

 It was a beautiful day for a walk outside, surrounded by lush grass and beautiful, blooming flowers. We cherished these moments. My mother-in-law loved being outside as much as possible, and of course, my two-year-old also jumped at the chance to be outside and run and pick pretty flowers.

 These memories are ones we will cherish forever; and I love having photographic copies for when my little one grows older and her memories fade even more. For all the money and time spent scrapbooking, being able to share these memories with both our children and cherish them with my husband and his family makes it worth every cent!

 With two children and a busy husband and busy life, it's hard for me to find enough time to scrapbook. So, when I do, I like to knock out a whole bunch of pages at once. This is one way to do that. There are some super talented people out there who design workshops that turn out anywhere from 6-18 pages at one time. This layout was one of those workshops.

 It can be harder to match pictures to a pre-designed layout, but I like the challenge of making it work. I get a thrill when I find the perfect pictures that make the layout looked like it was designed just for them.

 Sometimes it's the little, fun embellishments that make your pages really pop. They highlight the memories the way they should be. Sparkly hearts, wooden tags and paper ribbon bows work so well with the stickers to make this page special.

 I finished it off with the Sweetest Things sentiment. Looking back on those moments, I know those words are so true. It's hard to remember that sometimes when you're in the rat race we call life, but these pictures and layouts prove that point.


Thank you so much for joining me today and letting me share my precious memories with you. I'd love to hear from you!

Get your crafting groove on and join in on the creative fun with our new Pearls & Lace mood board! Check it all out on the Victorine Originals blog!

 Have a wonderful week!

Fall Birthday Wishes....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
Theresa here, from Theresa's Crafty Creations
and it's my day to take over the blog!!

 I thought I would show you a lovely
Fall Birthday Card I made for a friend of
mine - I was thinking of her and thought she might 
enjoy receiving this in the mail -



Since her birthday is during the month of September,
Fall Colors Screamed to me along with a little bit of Gold!

 So I pulled out the Lovely Bird Cages (74834-K)  Stamp set
I heat embossed it in gold on a piece of Vellum - Then I
decided I wanted the Bird Cages to be my focal point -- 

 so then I pulled out a piece of Water color paper and some
Distress Oxides (Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint,
Fossilized Amber, Antique Linen) - After distressing
my watercolor paper I sprayed some water and lifted off 
some of the drops with a towel - 
Then I had to add my favorite Sparkle Shimmer Spray - 
and let it all dry -
Once the water color paper was dried I added a piece 
of Fun Foam to the backing just for some dimension
and added it to a Dark Brown Card base - 
I attached the vellum image on top of the water color paper,
using some tiny pieces of Strong Super tape -
They're hiding behind the tiny birds & the cage strips...
You can't even tell I added them! So Awesome! 



Of course I wanted to add a Sentiment - 
So, I used the Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink
& the Elegant "Happy Birthday" sentiment from 
the Floral & Sayings (10549-X) Stamp Set.
It fit perfectly on the Stitched Banner Die - 

 I was going to add some embellishments...
But I really like the simple elegance with
the gold embossing and Fall colors as the background -

Soccer Ball Slider Birthday Card

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday,

Today is my day to take over the blog.  This is my second card using
Soccer Ball (1440-B) as the focal point of a Birthday card.


Card Recipe:
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb used for all paper except black heavyweight cardstock from my stash used to create silhouette of soccer play that was cut using my Cricut Explore Air. I stamped the soccer ball using Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink, fussy cut the soccer ball and applied versamark embossing ink over the whole ball. I applied WOW clear embossing powder and heat set using my heat gun. I repeated this process a couple times so that my ball has a very glossy look to it and to make it even stiffer.  I then went about creating the background. I took the Lawn Fawn grassy border die and die cut a scratch piece of paper to use as my stencil/mask. Using various colors of green distress inks I blended the grass as shown.  For the sky I used various blue distress inks and my blending tool to achieve the look. To create the slider channel I used the My Favorite Things DIE Namics Surf & Turf dies.
