Balloon Sophie 3D Pop-Up Card

Hi Everyone!

Here's a fun Sophie Balloon Pop-Up card I created for Maddy's birthday. I used the new Serendipidity and Shine On collection by Basic Grey and Sizzix Scallop Circle 3-D Pop-Up Card die. The possibilties are endless with these pop-up cards and there's so many different ones I can't wait to create. I added a banner using my Fiskars Jenny Bowlin punch and stamped "Happy" using my the Studio G Thick Alpha stamp set. I really loved how the banner punch coordinated with the banners on the design paper. To create the grass, I used my Fiskars Grass Edge punch and added a strip of design paper on the back which I folded in half and place a poodle die cut in front. I used my Stammpin Up Label Punch and stamped the sentiment "Birthday" on some design paper from my Studio G Birthday Hello stamp set. For the front of the card, I added some coordinating canvas and cardstock border diecuts and layed some pretty trim I purchased from my local Hobby Lobby. On the bottom corner I layed two flower die cuts and placed a cupcake on top. I'm excited to give Maddy her birthday card and now I off to make one for Natalie.

Sassy Sophie Picture Frame

Hi Everyone! Here's a picture frame I created with Sweet Nothing's Stamp Co. Sassy Sophie for Ashley's teacher. Its that time of the year to create some projects for my girls teachers as a thank you gift. I love how adorable Sophie is and how perfect she fits on the frame. I colored Sassy Sophie with my Copic markers and paper pieced her outfit with theSoul Food collection by Melody Ross. I've been into bright colors lately and love all the colors on each of the design papers. I found these adorable Shabby picture frames at my local Target and added some pink rosette trim and I Am Roses flowers. Also, I plan on adding a picture of Ashley and her teacher in the picture frame. These make really fun and cute gifts.

Happy Easter Altered Easter Egg

Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to share with you that I've been invited to design for Sweet Nothings Stamp Company. I look forward to creating a ton of projects with Lina's adorable digi images. Here I altered a large Easter Egg for my daughter Maddy. I thought it would be adorable to add Sweet Sophie on American Moss to look as though she's sitting on grass. Sophie was holding a flower and just had to fill the moss with flowers and eggs. For the background I cut the design paper from MME Miss Caroline Howdy Doody collection in the shape of an egg and used my Fiskars Cloud punch to give the appearance as if she's outside. I then used three of my favorite MS Butterfly punches and placed two of them on the egg and one on the Happy Easter sign. I really enjoyed making this and can't wait to create my next project.
