Artisan Award Entry #3 ~ Sweetheart Card

Here is the third card that I entered in the Artisan Award contest. I used the darling Sweetheart stamp set and added fabric flower and some ruffled fabric trim. I am so thrilled that Stampin' Up! kept this darling stamp set in the new catalog.




I am leaving for Salt Lake City today! As you can imagine, I am super excited! My daughter, Hannah, and my mother are flying out to SLC with me for the trip. It will be Hannah's first airplane ride:) Check back tomorrow to see a journal that I made for her to doodle in and keep some of her trip memories:)

Heartfelt Thanks Shoebox Swap Card & Baby Gift Tag

A few local demonstrators got together this evening to make projects. This is the card that I had prepared for the gals to create. Since I'm still waiting on my back-ordered stamp sets from SU, I grabbed this darling set called Sweetheart that is returning to the new catty in July! The brand-new designer series paper, Greenhouse Garden, will also be available in the new catty...beautiful:)

Heartfelt Thanks

The leaves and stem image were inked up in Certainly Celery and stamped on a piece of Glossy White cardstock. After punching a few blooms and stacking them together with a jumbo brad, they were adhered to top off the main image panel.



Karen's sketch, Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #65, was the inspiration for this heartfelt greeting...



and I bet these cupcakes taste as yummy as the look. Rachel's challenges always gets that creativity flowing...I'm loving the coral flowers with the contrast of white and dark chocolate on Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #55:)



The Certainly Celery ribbon was wrapped around the card front panel and tied off in full bow attached with a button & linen thread accent. You know me...a little ribbon, buttons & bows...and I'm a happy girl:)



Happy Monday!
