Nadya and I have another fun-filled morning at preschool – so I better run! Have a fabulous day and if you didn’t arrive here from Lindsay’s blog, be sure to stop by – she always has something fun going on, freebies to be found, and the links to the other DT projects – this week they’re all about baby!

Happy Thursday! Just  a quick post from me as we’re off to Preschool again this morning – and still adjusting to our new routine.  First off, MyGrafico is having an end of summer sale, which means Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff, as well as the other designers products, are on sale!

Lindsay has released a new SVG set – called Teacher’s Helper – super cute and easy to use. Since my little one just started Preschool, and I am volunteering at her school, this set was perfect for me!  I used it to create cute little pencil boxes/teacher gifts.  The super cute paper is from the Animal Cracker Stack (DCWV). I added little rhinestone embellishments from My Mind’s Eye – and viola – cute and easy! Really easy – just load the files in Sure Cuts A Lot, pick your, paper, and cut!  Now I  just have to finish the other 8!

Challenges I Played In:

• ABC Design Blog – Back To School
• Cutie-Sunday – Anything But A Card
• Hand Stamped Sentiments – Anything But A Card
• Little Red Wagon – Back To School
• One Stop Craft Challenge – Not A Card
• Paper Cutz – Anything Goes

That’s all from me – another morning of preschool and a lunch date await us! Have a fabulous day!

Happy Thursday! Welcome to another creation featuring Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff! Before we get to the project, I wanted to let you know that Lindsay is having a 40% off sale until midnight – which means this a perfect time to stock up on any of those digital goodies you’ve been eyeing or her super easy to use SVG files and templates!!!

I’ve been browsing the September/October edition of Papercrafts Magazine for the last two evenings and was really inspired by Carrie Lipovich’s card on page 36 – so I decided to let her card be my guide for today’s project. I used this fabulous border from Lindsay’s Winged Things Digital Stamp Set as my focal image – easily resized in Photoshop (or any other graphics/word processing application).  I also computer generated the sentiment and printed both on Very Vanilla CS (SU). I embossed the sentiment layer with my Argyle Cuttlebug folder (Provo Craft) taking care not to emboss over the sentiment.  Then I used my Dotted Scallop Edge Punch (EK Success) to create the scallop border on by image layer and a black mat layer.  After combing through my stash and discovering that I don’t have any 1/8” or 1/4” black grosgrain ribbon, I opted to created a stitched layer using another scrap of black CS and my Just My Type Cuttlebug border folder. After adhering everything my favorite mono adhesive (Tombow) to the patterned and textured card base (DCWV La Creme Box Set – I LOVE this set and wish I could find the mat stack and the 12×12 in this design), I used my Clear Gelly Glaze pen (Sakura) to add some shine and dimension to swirls and dragonflies. The finishing touch was a few ivory pearls (MS) to accent the swirls.

Challenges I Played In:

• Alphabet Challenges – P is for Punches
• Craftalicious – Pearls and Swirls
• Crafty Catz – Animals
• Elephantastic – Shabby Chic
• One Stitch At A Time – Pack a Punch
• Opus Gluei – You’ve Got to Move It Move It (Use your stash)

That’s all from me – one of my little one’s friends is coming over to play this morning – so we have a busy day ahead.
