Mariposa Stamped Images Holder

Happy Monday! 

Today I'm sharing the first project I created for September.  Yesterday I started cutting apart all of my rubber stamp sheets from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design.  While I've used several stamps I bought from there, most of the stamps I bought on sheets just stacked up (I know shame on me!!)  The ones I cut apart so far have been stamped and then filed into a 3 ring binder (my new method of stamp storage).  I had a pile of stamped images on my desk this morning and decided to make a holder for them using the Slip Cover template from My Time Made Easy.  I made one a few years ago and it's starting to show its age from being toted to crops. 

First I stamped Mariposa from the Eyes of Beauty and Dreams Collections on a piece of Copic Xpress cardstock.  I then stamped the flowers from the Fall Flora Fairies and Spring Flora Fairies collections.  Next I stamped the butterfly (not sure which collection this came with).  I colored all the images and made the grass with my copic markers.  I finished off the images with Crystal Stickles. I added ribbon and buttons from PTI along with some brads in the button holes from my stash.

Below is a view of the open box~

My Project for FBW #154

It's done! A few minor mishaps along the way but I'm finally finished and so happy to share it with you all. 

Over the weekend I finally settled on making My Time Made Easy's Slip Cover. I thought it would be fun to use it to carry images with me to crops seeing as this is how I was carrying them.

Now the ones I want to bring with me will travel in style!

And here's how it looks all filled up!

I used Papertrey Ink cardstock in Aqua Mist. The stamps are from the Poppies set by There She Goes (first time inked!) and the ribbon, flower & bling are from my stash. I used R30, R32, R35 for some of the flowers & butterflies and for the rest of them I used R20, R22, R24 and the stems are YG13 & YG17. I added some stickles to the flowers & butterflies because it needs a little something extra. I didn't want to wait until it was dry to share though lol.

For more fun projects, check out the FBW DT links on my left sidebar and click HERE to enter your creation!

I must get to bed now as I need to be up in less than 6 hours!

TFL!

Birthday Sundaes #6

Today we have a super fun challenge for you at Birthday Sundaes.

Instead of cards this week, we are asking you to create a special birthday project such as banners, cupcake wrappers, invitations, party favors, gift packaging. Anything to do with a birthday party! The Design Team came up with some wonderful samples for you which you can see HERE.

I choose to make something using one of the templates I purchased from My Time Made Easy. It's called The Flapper. I made it for my husband's birthday in June...not sure what I'll put in it yet though!

I purposely left the ribbon tails long since I still need to untie it to fill it. It was not easy for me to tie the bow and I didn't want to end up making it too short!

Here is a side view. I used PTI kraft cardstock, misc. red cardstock, American Crafts ribbon and Basic Grey Life of the Party paper and Pops. I love how it turned out!

If you'd like to play along with us this week, please click HERE. 

Makeup for the Weekend #23

I saw the Makeup for the Weekend challenge over at PMS last week and just knew I had to try it out! I checked out Lauren's shop, My Time Made Easy, and saw this cute Card Catch All and immediately thought of making a holder for my stamped images to keep on my desk.

Today was the first day that I've really had some playtime, have been spending my vacation either cleaning or painting and then today out and about.

Here is my creation ~ I am so pleased with how it came out!!

The adorable monster is Caliope with a flower colored with R01, BG23, R17 and YG03. The paper is Basic Grey Gypsy and the flowers are something I got in a goody bag from Susana. I {heart} both her store and PMS so much!! Letters are Thickers.

TFL!!
