Happy Tuesday!

Today, I thought I would share with you a few of the special cards I made for a friend who ordered a set of various thank you and you're amazing type sentiments. She also had a special request, for me to add "Just Sayin'", since that's what she says to her employees (well, not just her employees), all the time. :)

This first card was stamped using a set by StampingScrapping, that coordinates with the 'all dressed up' Spellbinders dies. (Though the dies were not used in these cards.) I also used a single rose stamp from a set I have by Lucy Cromwell that I originally got at JoAnn's. 

The corset was stamped on a pink K & Co. paper, then fussy-cut, and partially colored using a Stampin' Up marker. The 'lace' was stamped using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet, (as was all the inked edges), then I added a few rhinestones from my stash. The rose was also colored with SU markers.

This second card was also stamped on pink K & Co. paper, from the same set as the first one, then fussy-cut, and partially colored with the SU marker. I also popped the dress to accommodate the pink tulle that I added to the bottom the the skirt, and added a little copper pen for embellishment on the waist.

All papers on these cards were from the K & Co. Best of Susan Winget paper stack. (It is HUGE, and has so many beautiful papers! I have been making tons of cards with this stack, and will be sharing more very soon.)

This is the inside of the second card. The top sentiment is from SU called 'Million & One'. It was stamped in the same Tim Holtz ink as above, and the "Just Sayin'" was added by hand, since I have never seen this sentiment on a stamp before. (LOL)

I do hope you have enjoyed this little post today, and stick around for more to come. 

Thank you for your support. I means so much to me.

Special Birthday Card

Today, I thought I'd post this special punch art birthday card that 
I made the other day. It will be delivered tomorrow. 

The little purses are made with the Stampin' Up Cupcake builder punch. The handles are made using 1/2" and 3/4" circle punches, and the purse flaps were either half of a 3/4" circle punch, or a corner from a square punch.

The paper pack I used was a 6" x 6" pad from 
Teresa Collins called Spring Fling.

The ribbon is the 3/8" stretch ruffle trim from 
Stampin' Up in Crisp Cantaloupe.

The card base is Recollections card stock in cream.

I stamped the sentiment from Stampin' Up stamp 
with Coastal Cabana ink.

There are 3 tiny "clasps" on the purses that are actually 
bitty pearls from CTMH.

I also used my clear star gel pen for a little sparkle accent.

I do hope you enjoy this post.
Thanks, again, for stopping by, 
and have a great day!

Wedding card for Rachele & Dave

Today, I wanted to share with you the other wedding card I did this month. This one was for Rachele & Dave's wedding on 06/28/2014.

On the front of this card, I used the same turquoise foil wrapping paper I used for wrapping their gift. The paper was bought at Hobby Lobby, as well as the red sparkly organza ribbon.

This beauty got a long white tulle veil attached to the back of her head with glue dots. I used my clear star gel pen to accent the lines in her skirt. For the glitter on her bodice, skirt bottom, and headband, I used some sheer glue from the rubber cafe, and the micro fine translucent glitter from Sparkle and Sprinkle.

I added bitty opaque pearls from Close To My Heart for earrings, necklace, and at the base of the bodice.

Her skin and hair were colored with Spectrum Noir markers, as well as the shadowing on the skirt.

I didn't think she needed anything else. :)

The lace, as well as the red and turquoise ribbons on the inside of the card were all from the wedding invitation. I liked the idea of using their own invitation as inspiration for their card.

The stamping on the inside was done with Memento ink and Stampin' Up stamps, then gone over with the clear star gel pen.

Here is the wrapped wedding gift. Turquoise foil paper with sparkly red organza ribbon, and the final element from their wedding invitation - the little rhinestone encrusted heart. 

(On the invitation, the red and turquoise ribbons were through it.)

I hope you enjoy my posts. If so, please feel free to comment, share and pin. Have a great day, and thank you for stopping by!

With all the wedding fun this month and last, I thought I would post one of the cards I made for a friend's bridal shower. Her colors are Red and Turquoise. I saw the basic idea on Pinterest, and changed it up just a bit, since I didn't have the exact border punch, and of course, the papers are different, too.

For the background, I used some turquoise shimmer paper from Recollections. The dress part is Great White Premium Cardstock from core'dinations that was run through my Cuttlebug with the swirl embossing folder. The heart border punch is Martha Stewart. The red ribbon was from Michael's, and the bling all over was from my stash. 

I am really pleased with the way it turned out, and I believe the bride to be, Rachele, was happy with it. :)

Have a fabulous day!

Jerid & Sandy's wedding card. :)

Well, as promised, (maybe a few days late), here is the wedding card I made for Jerid & Sandy. I hope they liked it!

On the front, I stamped the Prima, Julie Nutting doll, Lorena on watercolor paper, and colored her hair, headband, folds of her dress, and skin with Spectruim Noir alcohol markers.  I also colored some white lace, (used at the waist), and white rose ribbon trim with the same markers, and attached them with glue dots to the dress.  I stamped an additional top on premium white cardstock, and ran it through my Cuttlebug with a lovely embossing folder to get the raised design. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. I also used a gel pen in clear star to add some sparkle to the card. I think it shows up pretty will in this pic.

The above sentiment, also from SU, is stamped on premium white cardstock, and adhered to the inside front of the card. Some clear star gel pen was also added for a little sparkle. 

Wedding bells stamp, and sentiment from SU were stamped with VersaFine ink, and I used more of the clear star gel pen.

On the back, is the date, and my signature in clear star gel pen, along with another SU stamp.

I do hope you enjoyed this card. I hope to be taking personalized orders soon for cards similar to this one on Etsy. 

Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by! :)

Sneak Peek of a Wedding card. 6/9/2014.

Today I thought I'd put up a sneak preview of a wedding card I'm working on. Obviously, I still have to finish the fussy-cutting, and the rest of the card, but it's a start. Nothing is secured yet, and the rest of the card is definitely not finished.

This is the Julie Nutting Prima doll stamp - Lorena. She makes an absolutely beautiful wedding gown! I will be using her for both of the weddings I am going to this month. The coloring is different for both girls, as well as the cards will be completely different for each wedding.

I used the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers for the coloring, SU Wisteria Wonder DSP, and the tiny butterfly is from a SU embosslit. I stamped the doll's top again, and embossed it in my Cuttlebug. The flower is from Hobby Lobby. I colored the white rose ribbon with the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to match. I also used them to color some lace from Hobby Lobby, and cut that to use at her waist.

She is coming along, and I hope the bride is happy with her when the time comes. :)

Have a fabulous day!  I will post the final card after the wedding.
Teri :)

First Post - 6/8/2014.

For my very first blog post ever, I am just doing a little experimenting, since I have never done this before. 

The picture above is of just one of my paper craft dress art frames. This particular one has been sold, but it is one of my absolute favorites. I really love the little girl dress die, as it has so many possibilities for embellishment, and with different paper designs. 

I LOVE making these frames, as well as using the dresses and dress forms on cards. I have several dies for different dresses, and they can be used in many different combinations. I look forward to posting many more, as well as other types of paper crafts.

Recently, I met a very sweet lady, who has become an awesome and great new friend. She and I are looking into using her guest house for crafting classes, stamping classes, and crops, as well as a craft selling space. She lives closer to Corona than I do, and has a pretty good location, and an excellent space. I can't wait to get started! I know she has already started working on inventory. :)

I am also looking into starting my own Etsy shop to sell my paper crafts. I've got the name set up, but I haven't posted any inventory yet. I am hoping to post some this week.

I already started a Facebook page. You can see it here: https://www.facebook.com/PaperCraftsByTeri?ref=hl.

Thanks so much for joining me on my new adventure. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

Hugs, Teri :)
