The Perfect Sentiment Challenge #9 (PSC09)

Happy Wednesday! Are you guys ready for another great challenge week over at The Perfect Sentiment? Since it is the 5th Wednesday of the month, the challenge this week is all about CASE'ing one of the Design Team Members cards. Sounds fun huh? Just remember to give credit to the dt member. :)

Here is the card that I created:



I wanted to make a really simple card but one that still made a statement for my husband. I love giving him cards out of the blue and he loves getting them. Most of the time, I hide them so he is really surprised when he comes across one. For this card, I made a portrait style card and used a border punch to punch 3 different layers. Then I layered them on top of each other and attached them to the bottom of the card. My tickets are a stamp from the dollar bin at Michael's. I just stamped them and then cut them out by hand. I added some ribbon and some photo corners to finish it.

This week, the challenge is being sponsored by the Digital Emporium. Head over to The Perfect Sentiments challenge blog to learn the details of what you could win if you play along as well as looking to see what the rest of the talented ladies on the design team came up with. I hope you will play along with us this week. I look forward to seeing what you create!

Happy Wednesday my crafty friends! I hope you are all having a great day! I am so happy that today I get to post another challenge for the Joy's Life DT. The challenge this week was Shabby Chic--Create a “Lady like” project, from the littlest girls to the greatest grandmothers.



What is more lady like than a pretty awesome pair of heels? I personally can't walk in them very well, but I sure do like looking at them hehe! I cut my card base out of the Sentimentals Cricut cartridge at 4.75" and the white layer (which is just another card base cut in half) at 4.25". My shoe came from Gypsy Wanderings and was cut out at 2". I ran my white layer through my cuttlebug with the Paper Lace cuttlebug embossing folder. For my sentiment, I built the "Sweet Friend" saying from the Everyday Occasions stamp set from Joy's Life Stamps. I stamped it with versa mark and then embossed it with white embossing powder. Here is a close up of that:



I am so happy with this card and think it turned out so pretty. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation. Don't forget to stop by the Joy's Life DT page to see more inspiration. I hope you have a great crafty day and a fabulous Thanksgiving!
