HOME altered letters

I finally finished the wooden letters which have been sitting naked in my kitchen for many months! The SU! papers were perfect for this project! I used Washington Apple, Parisian Breeze, and Rockabilly DSPs (all very sadly retiring). I inked a flower from the Pretties Kit using a sponge dauber & craft ink, added a clear button backed with DSP to the center, and tied on various ribbons. I also have a little blinged out cherry accent planned & started for the "M," but I'm waiting for my SU! shipment with the Fire Circle Rhinestone brads to complete that part. This project was so much fun to make...I love altering stuff! I hope you like it too. Thanks for looking!

Don't forget, if you hold a workshop in June, you can earn $20-$40 extra in free catalog merchandise! There's still time to book, so contact me now!

Card #3 and a Peek at Decor Elements

Hi! I know I missed yesterday, but I'm back and I have a cute card to share. This one uses the Forest Friends set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I just love the darling deer and bunny in this set! The accent piece with the deer was a CASE, but it was posted in a collage photo from a whole swap group and it didn't have the designer's name on it. I tried my hand at using the brayer. It's a tricky little bugger, but the results are so pretty and I know that with a little practice it will be much easier to do.
I used To the Nines Specialty Designer Series Paper (You have got to feel the amazing thickness and texture of this paper!)
for the background and some Versamark watermark stamping. I'm very happy with the results.




Next I wanted to share how wonderful theses Decor Elements pieces look on my good friend's bedroom wall! She placed the order at Darla's workshop and has been very under the weather lately, so I went to her house and put it up for her. She graciously allowed me to take a photo. The vinyl has a matte finish and looks beautiful. It was actually very easy to put up by simply following the included instructions. Thanks, Madolyn, for letting me share! Don't you think it looks great?

Bridal Shower Card

I used an idea that is flying around the web right now, cutting the large scallop circle into a dress shape. I honestly don't know where it originated, but I've seen it a lot on Split Coast Stampers. I embossed it with the floral Texturz Plate using another trick I picked up over at SCS. I spritzed the cardstock with rubbing alcohol to get a deeper impression. I've always done this with water, but the alcohol dries so very quickly. The embossed flowers & dots were highlighted with 2-Way glue & Dazzling Diamonds. The DSP here is Walk in the Park from the Occassions Mini (BTW, this is includede in the Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale!).
I hope you enjoy today's share.

I also used the Big Shot and my favorite die, Top Note (a SU! exclusive) and the Scallop Circle die to create the cute little purse. It really is absolutely darling irl if I do say so myself! I will be making a whole bunch more of these for gifts! I used the Sincere Salutations stamp set (so beautiful & incredibly versatile!)and a variety of Stampin' Up!'s fun punches to create four tiny, cute, and useful note cards which fit perfectly inside the box part of the purse with mini 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" envelopes.
