I have used the new Dutch Girl digital stamp and coloured her with Copies and added Star Dust Stickles. The stunning background paper is from the Ultimate Crafts Rambling Rose collection. I've used lots of flowers and used quite a few dies on this card:-

The Paper Shelter Challenge #294 - Stitching Faux or Real

It's time for a new weekly challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week the challenge is to use faux or real stitching.


I have used a printed image from The Paper Shelter called "I can fix". I normally use a digital stamp and colour it in but I decided to try the printed image this week and it is fabulous. You have to try it! I used a Prima stitching stamp around the edges of the image and the stitch-edge tag and distressed the edges with Pumice Stone distress ink and both were cut out with dies. My paper is from a Hot Off The Press paper pack called Floral Fantasy. The tool corner frame is a die called "Tool Corner" by Amy Design and "Mini Fanciful Flourish Left" by Cheery-Lynn Designs.

A few other pics show off the gorgeous flowers, brads, corner and lace bow.

Winnie Fruit Punch Wishes




I have made a multi fold card and you might see a few more of these in the near future because I love the layout. I used the adorable Winnie Fruit Punch Wishes stamp from Polkadoodles, coloured her with Copics, added Crystal Stickles to the flower centres and heart and tiny dots of Liquid Pearls around the image. I used Ground Espresso ink to distress the edges of all my papers which are from the First Edition Isabelle paper pad. I cut the image from a Spellbinders die, used a Martha Stewart heart border punch and added some doilies. The sentiment is part of a stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy and the border is another Spellbinders die called Fancy Label Tags 4. I recently went on a shopping spree and found this beautiful lace and these stunning Prima flowers.

Here's a few more pics of my card from different angles...

Kenny K Velocitia


I used the beautiful Kenny K Velocitia digital stamp on my card, coloured her with Copics and added Diamond Stickles to her wings and accented with Glossy Accents and used a number of steampunk and vintage metal embellishments. I embossed the background on sheets of Honkydory mirrored paper.

This is my first card as part of The Paper Shelter Team B design team. Our challenge this week is "Flowers" and I've used the classic Vintage Car digital stamp which I've coloured with Copic markers and Star Dust Stickles. My papers and sentiment are from the Heartfelt Creations Celebrate the Journey Collection. The flourishes were cut on my Cameo and I've gone flower crazy this week to showcase the challenge.
