Stamping Bella - Blown Away Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card I made for our niece.  It uses a Stamping Belle stamp - Bentley gets Blown Away.  The stitched clouds are a die set by Poppy stamps - Stitched Cloudline. The sentiment is a PTI stamp Birthday bash Sentiments, which I bought when it was retiring.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #309

Happy Saturday!

We have a new sketch challenge today at Sketch Saturday.  Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp with a generous $25 gift certificate going to the lucky winner of the sketch challenge. 

Here is this week's sketch #309 and I designed the sketch this week.  I was thinking May flowers and a specific flowerbox die I had not used yet when designing it.  Simon Says Stamp carries the die too!

Here is my card:

 

I used a set by Nina B "Stitched Flowers".  The flowerbox die is from Poppy Stamps.  I paperpieced the flowers and leaves, then added buttons to the centers.

PaperTrey Ink: Little Bitty Bird

Happy Sunday!

Today, I have another card I created for the homebound ministry.  This is September's card.  I used mostly PaperTrey Ink products for this months card.  

The images are from PaperTrey Ink "Little Bitty Bird".  The cardstock is PTI White and Blueberry Sky.  The inks are also from PaperTrey - I'm really loving their line of inks.  They don't stain clear stamps and they give a really nice image!  So Happy!

The embossed foliage is a PTI impression plate called "Vineyard".

I stamped the branch in PTI Dk. Chocolate ink and colored in the leaves with a green colored pencil.  The bird is stamped in PTI True Black on the blue cardstock and then again on PTI Harvest Gold cardstock.  I made the stamped birds into a sticker by running it through my Xyron machine, then cut out the bird and a wing and paper pieced it onto the blue stamped scene, to create some layered dimension.

The window die is not PTI - it is from Poppy Stamps "Small Madison Window".  There is a large window too.  It is a really great die - it cuts and embosses the detail all in one time through the diecut machine.

Inside, I used a Clear Dollar Stamp.  I have the actual stamp, but it is available in a digi collection now - Value Verses 1.  Love this verse...

For I am persuaded

that neither death,

nor life, nor angels,

nor principalities,

nor powers,

nor things present,

nor things to come,

nor height,

nor depth,

nor any other creature,

shall be able to

separate us from the

love of God, which

is in Christ Jesus

our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39
