Purse shaped card!

Hello!  I'm so happy that it's Saturday!  I love when the weekends are here and I have lots of time to play in my craft room.  :-) 

I have really enjoyed being a guest designer over at Freshly Brewed Challenges this month.   Heather, the owner and designer of Fresh Brewed Designs has been so very sweet and personable.  I've really enjoyed getting to know her and her very talented and lovely Design Team.

This weeks challenge over at Freshly Brewed Challenges is a SHAPE CARD!  This will be my last card as a guest designer for the month of July there.  This means that I will be drawing a winner for my Blog Candy!

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO WRITE A COMMENT UNDER MY Celebration BLOG CANDY SO THAT YOU WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE DRAWING TO WIN THE "BEACH BUMS" RUBBER STAMP!  There are only 7 people in the drawing out of 36 followers.  I want everybody to have a chance to win.

I had lot's of fun making this card!  I used my Fresh Brewed Designs, "Caution Contents are Hot" rubber stamp.  I LOVE THIS STAMP!!!  It's so very classy and versatil.  I colored her with copic markers and painted her white dress with Inspirations Fairy Dust shimmer paint from Fresh Brewed Designs. The lovely hounds tooth cardstock is from my DCWV "the Mademaiselle stack"  I simply folded a 11" X 5 1/2" piece of cardstock in half and trimmed both sides with a slight diagonal.  Then I added  some pink design paper to the top of my purse and some plain white cardstock that I trimmed with my SU scallop punch.

I  punched out a round scallop shape from my nestabilities for the flap of the purse.

I used my SU tag punch to punch out my typed sentiment "Celebrate In Style"

Finally, I added ribbon and bling.

And here is a picture with my sweet Beagle, SUZIE Q, checking my card out and sticking her nose into my picture!

Hmm, How does this card qualify?
I used three stamps and I added three beach themed beads to my stick pin!

I made this card with the Fresh Brewed Designs

Don't forget that I have a brand new "Beach Bums" blog candy rubber stamp for one lucky winner!

I also used cork and scrap designer paper.
I colored both images with my copic markers and added some crystal effects and glitter to the sand.
Then I cut the, "Peace Be Still" image into four pieces before adhearing them onto the cork to hopefully make it look like a big window.
I wanted my little "Beach Bums" girl to be looking out her window as she holds a refresing cocktail in her hand.  I used some scrap ribbon to make a window valance.

Coffee Take Me Away!

Hello!
This is my second card as guest designer on Freshly Brewed Challenges!
Today I'm sharing this pretty card that I made with the "Coffee Take Me Away" stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs!
The monthly challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges for the month of July is the following recipe! 2 papers - 2 embellishments - 2 shapes
I love this stamped image!  I think that she sends the perfect message to RELAX and ENJOY  YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

As you can see from my pictures, I made a window card with the pretty, "Coffee Take Me Away" stamp on the inside!
I used my Nestabilities large scallop die to cut the window. (I don't own the plain circle nestabilities yet)
Then I used my Marianne die to cut out the pretty Lacy doily circles that I used to frame the image on both the inside and the outside.
I used K&Company designer paper I paper pieced the pretty tea cup bathtub and the towel. Using this rubber stamp made it so fun and easy to do paper piecing!
Paper roses and corner embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts
I used my Stampin Up oval punch and oval scallop punch for my sentiment.
The inside corner triangles were made with my Stampin Up ticket punch.
I colored the image with my copic markers.
