Hello Cupcake!!

OK…I gotta warn you...there might be a bit of hyperventilating in this post!!

I’m …a…GUEST DESIGN TEAM MEMBER AT the
LILI OF THE VALLEY Ideas to Inspire Blog!!

I know, I know, I know!! You’re hyperventilating now too, aren’t ya?!

Alrighty…I don’t want to scare you away, so I'll dial it down a notch.

For my first project I wanted to make a 6 x 6 easel card with a slider box. I looked and looked on-line and just never found exactly what I was looking for, so I fiddled around with my Silhouette program and a file for a A2 size easel card and ended up with this. I hope you like it!!

This darling stamp is Hello Cupcake and I’ve also chosen a sentiment from the super versatile Simply Sophisticated Stamp Set too. The GORGEOUS papers are Timeless Victorian, also from Lili of the Valley. As I told Anne, I’m pretty sure these were made for me. Just look at those colors!! So lush!

All around the box I’ve added tons of embossing paste, glitter and Gesso.

Pearls around the sides and back along with more Gesso.

The drawers both slide open so little treats can be tucked inside, maybe the ingredients for cupcakes…or jewelry. Yep, definitely jewelry. The feet are just wooden trim pieces that I found, glued together and painted.

Thank you so very much for visiting with me today!

Papertake Weekly Sketch Challenge

Hello there stampers!

Time for a brand new sketch challenge from Papertake Weekly. This is such a fun sketch! Be sure to jump right over to the Papertake Weekly Challenge so you can play along too.

For my card,…I broke out another super cute Lili of the Valley stamp to play with. I know, shocking, right?

This sweetheart is Looking Glass and she looks royal to me, so I embellished with a glittery crown.

Flowers and pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts

Stenciled embossing paste, glitter & gesso added to the corners.

So, sadly this is my last post as a GDT for Papertake Weekly. I want to thank the Papertake Weekly ladies for being so wonderful, kind and welcoming!! I’m sure you know, that as challenge blogs go, this is THE BEST! The challenges, prizes and most importantly, the design team are all top notch!!!

Also, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Sharon Caudle. You might all think she’s your bff and I understand. Sharon has the ability to make everyone feel so special, like they are the only one in the room. Here’s the thing is …she MINE!! Winking smile

I love you, doll!!
