…at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff! I just love this new set – so much so that I incorporated it with Bunny’s new January Card Class and the Digital Tuesday challenge to create 3 super cute (at least I think so) cards.     My first card features a cupcake from Lindsay’s Love Grows Here set and one of the scallop heart mats I created using Sure Cuts A Lot and my mom’s baby bug (thanks Mom!) and it’s my entry for today’s Digi Day challenge at SNR.. I ran the card base through my Big Shot with a Fiskars Heart Texture Plate to add just a bit of dimension.  The glitter papers are DCWV and the ribbon is from my stash.  The cupcake is colored with Copics, Spica and Sakura markers/pens and some diamond glaze on the cherry (note to self – let it dry flat or it runs!!!) I used pearl ex powder over chalk ink to give the heart cutout a little shine before adding red glitter faux stitching and then coated it and the cupcake with Winsor & Newton Iridescent Medium – super easy and cute! My 2nd card uses the same glitter CS – this time run through my Big Shot with the Cuttlebug D’Vine Swirls embossing folder. I used SCAL to create the mat and to add the scallops to the card edge.  The cherry hearts are included in Lindsay’s Love Grows Here set.  I added some pearls stickers and faux stitching before stamping the sentiment (SU – retired) in Pearlescent Coral (Brilliance) ink.My last card of the group (the class gives you info for 4 cards, but I ran out of time – I have another cupcake already decorated and ready to go though) is a circle-shaped card – another of my first SCAL creations.  I embossed the front with my D’Vine Swirls folder.  I used my largest Nestie Circle as a template for my stitching.  The red ribbon is from my stash and the little flowers were liberated from one of my little one’s broken hair barrettes ( whew – I knew I could recycle somehow!)

For this week, Lindsay challenged us to recycle – aka repurpose an item or two on our creations – and you can enter too! Today is the last day to enter your “repurposed” project for a chance to win a free stamp set – check Lindsay’s blog for all of the details, links to the other fabulous DT projects, and possibly a FREEBIE! Then head to Lindsay’s store to snag this super cute set and check out her new SVG files – yup Lindsay is now selling cutting files!  And, just for hanging out with me today – I have a goodie for you too – my VERY FIRST cutting files – they’re in SCUT format as I haven’t mastered all the conversions yet – but hey we all to start somewhere.  I’m sharing the scallop heart mats I created to go with my cards and Bunny’s class!

That’s all from me – today  is the last day of swimming lessons – next week we start tumbling again. Plus I REALLY need to join the ranks and tidy my craft space and find homes for all of the new Christmas goodies. Have a fabulous day!
