 Hello! I never get tired of this stamp, my favorite Uptown girls, Victoria and Juliette from Stampingbella.

One of my favorite paper crafting techniques is paper piecing. I love to coordinate the different patterned papers I use as backgrounds and the dresses! It makes all the difference!

For this card I have used a "happy" die, this one is from Avery Elle.

I die cut one layer of red cardstock and three layers of black cardstock. Glued them all together, with the red one on top! An then adhered them to the card. It´s a great way to add some dimension and create a shadowlike effect by using black cardstock.

Black and red makes such a contrast.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello! This is a "goodbye & farewell" card I made for the sweetest, funniest girl I was fortunate to work with for a year.

For this card I have used the Uptown Girl stamp; " Opal the optimist", from Stampingbella. The sentiment stamp ("I just wanted to say") comes from Gummiapan.

The color combo that makes me the most happy is greens and turquoise/aqua!

The patterned paper with the tiny hearts comes from Lawn Fawn!

I have paper pieced the dress and colored the roses on the dress in green and darker aqua! The skin, hair and dress are colored with copic markers.

This is my way of "clean & simple"!  And I haven´t even used a single drop of glitter on this one!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello! I have had my eyes on Art Impressions hilarious stamps for a long time. At a visit to a Michael´s store this summer I stumbled upon two stamp sets I couldn´t just leave behind. For this card I have used one of the stamps from one of the sets.

These ladies are the coolest! So glad I didn´t leave them on the shelf in that store! You just have to love them! They make me smile every time!

I have used a cloud/border die on this card, from Mama Elephant. I wanted the focus to be on the ladies and chose the patterned paper to coordinate with their bathing suites.

I have colored the ladies with copic markers, added a little stickles glitter and some sequins for some extra glamour! The sentiment stamp is from Gummiapan.

 Thanks for stopping by!
