This is the LAST WEEKEND! We are down to the WIRE and we finally broke through to NUMBER 3! Please do me a huge favor and VOTE FOR HANNAH'S HOPE FUND! They are 1.2 million dollars shy of being able to start the clinical trials and the $250,000 from Pepsi would really put a dent into the massive bill! Hannah is a six year old, first grader in Xavier's class. She is the sweetest little girl. Her parents are good friends who live in the next neighborhood over. Todd and I have taken up this cause, it is very close to my heart. Please take a moment from your stamping to vote for Hannah! Her life will be forever changed by the generosity of strangers! You can help make miracles happen!

Here we go! On to this week's FEATURED STAMPER CARD! #199
Based on Krischir's Decade Gifts Cupcake card {here}.

I decided to change it to a holiday card: I stamped the three trees from Trees with trimmings in Navy ink on brocade paper, then trimmed them out. I adhered them to a die cut piece of navy paper with dimensionals. I used a piece of brocade cardstock and dry pressured embossed it with the snowflake folder. I stamped the sentiment (LET IT SNOW) three times in fresh snow ink on navy cardstock, then trimmed the edge to a v cut, just like Kris did, then added a button (PTI) with a piece of ribbon (mayarts) threaded through it. I mounted the whole shabang on navy cardstock and used two pieces of white ribbon to break up the design. Finally, I added some stickles to the trees.





stamps: trees with trimmings (PTI)
ink: navy, fresh snow
paper: brocade, navy
misc: ribbon, stickles, button, dimensionals, snowflake embossing folder, nesties

Here is the card I made for this week's challenge! I used the new stamp set by Our Craft Lounge called "Notes of Love". Isn't this a cute little ladybug card. Sophie's teacher called her Ladybug and she is *SO* my little ladybug. I think I will put this card aside to give her for a special occasion.

I cased Sarah's card {here}. Sarah (Criminalgrace) on SCS has a great clean style. Her card was the teal and black with a hint of pink. I decided to use kraft for the base of my main image. I liked the little pop of red on the card. I changed things by adding brads and making the card a square card. I also used the diamonds in the rough background.


It is so hard to see in the photograph, but for the ruffled edge, I used some satin ribbon and layered it then topped the ruffled satin with a strip of velvet rick rack. I used some brads to adhere the rick rack in place. The main image is popped up on dimensionals, colored with copics and then the ladybug has a hint of glitter courtesy of a sakura gel pen.


STAMPS = “Notes of Love” (new release from Our Craft Lounge)
PAPER = taken with teal, black, white, kraft
INK = black, copics
MISC = ribbon (black embossed satin and black velvet rickrack, may arts), sakura gel pen, dimensionals, square scalloped punches, diamonds in the rough embossing folder
