Just Us Girls #133 color...How cool is that?!

Just Us Girls is challenging you with a super summer color pallette this week!  Check it....

In my hometown it's to be in the mid 80's today!  Practically feels like summer to me once we pass the 80 degree mark so we are heading to the beach to play but before I run, I wanted to share this fun card for the color challenge this weekend. Love this fun image and and all those included in the Sweet Celebrations set from WD Stamps. Some sizzlin hot buttons from Buttons Galore and More make a fun marquee like trim at the top.

I couldn't resist swiping on some crystal effects to give this popsicle a little *shine*. 

Speaking of shine, get your sunglasses on for the creative brilliance of the Just Us Girls DT.

Wilson Designs April Release Day!

It's release day at Wilson Designs Stamps!  We are excited to introduce the "Glam Squad" stamp set today in all it's fabulous-ness!  Keep scrolling for an image of the complete set...

I chose the purse image today.  This stamp is P-E-R-F-E-C-T for paper piecing with it's open design,  I stamped the purse onto cute polka dotted paper and then detail cut.  I stamped again directly onto the pre-printed label card and then layered the stamped and cut purse body onto the image.  Chipboard letters were colored using a glittery green color of Smooch(this is some cool stuff!) and then some of the new bling from Want2Scrap that comes in long strips (LOVE that!).

Folded and adhered cardstock makes a cute wallet to tuck in a gift card or some cold hard cash for the recipient.  Super quick and easy gift to give with *style*!  Ready for the whole stamp set?????

Here it is... GLAM SQUAD from Wilson Designs Stamps!  Cute right?!???

You can purchase this set or other sets on the website HERE priced at $12.99. Run don't walk because the first person to order this set gets next month's set for free!

Wilson Designs April Release Day 3!

Are you enjoying release week?  The girls have gone all out with their samples for Wilson Designs April release haven't they?  Today I'm here to show a gift card quickie I made.  I love using gift wrap or gift bags as a springboard to my color choices on cards.

I was able to use two images (bow and open circles) and the sentiment from Kim's fabulous new set to make this card for a party we recently attended. 

Ready for more inspo from the girls? Stay tuned in this week for inspiration every day from the DT Dolls and WD Stamps!

Wilson Designs April Release Day 2!

Today I am highlighting the large heart shaped diamond in Kim's new set.  Isn't this a fabulous image?!  And what with the re-release of the movie Titanic, I can't help but to be humming along to the theme song right now as this stamp reminds me of the necklace in the movie.

I used varying shades of blue to stamp the image three times and then detail cut them and pop them up on foam tape.  Bling from Want2Scrap adorns the centers in coordinating colors and also as a backdrop to these pretty hearts.  I'm thinking wedding card on this one.

Just Us Girls #132...Oh my lordy bees!

Oh goodness gracious!  It's time for a brand new Just Us Girls challenge!  This week Lisa challenges us to try the sponge a layer technique. 

Check it!  Me.  Queen of lumpy cards has a (OMG!) flat card this week!  Those ribbon banners are simply sponged on ink!  Woohoo!  I cut a ribbon banner using Spellbinders pennant banner nestibilities from cardstock and used the negative as a mask for inking up this card.  And seeing how this card and it's birthday wishes go out late to the recipient, I am rest assured that the delivery won't be held up by a lumpy embellishment that jams the envelope up in the postage cancellation machine at the post office! huh.  I could get used to this CAS stuff I think! 

Proof!  This card is FLAT, no bumps but still packs alot of visual punch, I think, with the gorgeous ink colors that have been swiped on.  Ready for a few more projects that will have you scrambling to your ink pads and applicators?
