Hi crafty friends! I had a bit of time on Sunday to create 'just because', so I decided to hop in and make a little something pretty in pink to share for today's new challenge at The Shabby Tea Room #247 - 'Pop of Pink'! It's been a while since I had some time to join the Shabby Girls, so making this card brought me back to my lil 'ol shabby happy place!
The sponsor in the Tea Room for the next two week is Dies R Us, so I decided to make a card with 100% dies ... no stamping ... and lots of yummy embellies!
The mason jar is one of my favorite dies from Stampin' Up! and the adorable little pink 'love' charm is a gift I received from my crafty friend, Jill! Everything else is from the Paper Sweeties boutique:
Die supply list: Party Time Sweet Cuts
Embellishment supply list: Cotton Candy Seam Binding, Cookie Dough Sequins, Frosting Sequins, Cotton Candy Sequins
After I die cut the flower shapes using the Party Time Sweet Cuts set, I crinkled them to create shape and then added a Cookie Dough Sequin to each center. The leaves were die cut and then pinched in the centers to add texture. I inked the edges of the mason jar with cream paint to create a time-worn look and then die cut the center of the jar using an oval shape so I could create a SHAKER CARD with pretty sequins inside!
Please be sure to visit the Tea Room to be inspired by the rest of the Shabby Girls projects!
This card also goes along perfectly with the March Inspiration Challenge at Paper Sweeties, so I'm linking up there too!
Thanks for popping by today! Hugs - xoxo

Hello crafty friends! I'm so happy you stopped by my blog today for a visit! I'm popping in to share a little something {sweet} I recently created for this week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room - 'Sweet Shabby Flowers'!
The Tea Room is sponsored this week by Bugaboo Stamps and I got to use the Flower Pot #2 digital image to create with today! I printed, colored with copics and then fussy cut the image out. I added glitter to the centers of the blooms and then adhered lace to the top of the flower pot. A Cotton Candy Baker's Twine bow was added to the side of the pot and a plant stake was inserted into the pot -- stamped using the Wagon Add-on: bloom & grow stamp set and then die cut using the Sweeties Wagon Sweet Cuts die!
To finish things off, I added a couple of {sweet} Cotton Candy Sequins to the upper and lower corners of the card -- such a pretty little pop of color ... I love the unique, flower-shaped iridescent sequins carried in the Paper Sweeties boutique!
I am smitten with how this card turned out ... L-O-V-E the colors together, how about you? Please be sure to visit The Shabby Tea Room to be inspired by the other Shabby Girls' projects this week ... and then I hope you'll play along for a chance to win an awesome prize package from Bugaboo Stamps!

Hi ya' sweeties! I'm here today to share a little something I whipped up for the current challenge at The Shabby Tea Room - 'Summer Fun'! We're to make a card/project inspired by the photo using at least three colors from the picture and include ONE OR MORE of these: vellum/acetate, polka dots, ribbon ... FUN!
I created a FUN shaker card using the Balloon Shaped Card file from The Cutting Cafe - this week's Tea Room sponsor!
I added pretty sequins and paper punched stars inside the balloon and stamped the sentiment using the ConGRADulations stamp set before I sealed the edges with foam tape.
I stamped another coordinating sentiment in the lower left corner using the So Sweet of You stamp set and then tied a length of Robin Egg Baker's Twine onto the base of the balloon.
I used acetate, ribbon and polka dots + three colors from the photo! What do you think???

Welcome to my blog today, crafty friends! I'm sharing a little something I created for this week's new challenge at The Shabby Tea Room - 'Polka Dot Love'!
I die cut the banner twice - once in white and once in pink - using the Sweeties Wagon Sweet Cuts die set and then strung it at the top of the card base. Next I stamped the watering can and polka dotted boots from the Showering You With Love stamp set and then die cut them using the coordinating Showering You With Love Sweet Cuts die set. I colored them with a pink marker and then added glitter to the polka dots. I glued a bouquet of paper flowers inside the watering can and then attached the can, boots and a glittered chipboard heart to the base of the card.
I stamped the little banner using the Banner Wishes and Splish Splash stamp sets and then adhered it to the glittered heart. Last, I added a couple of beautiful, flower-shaped iridescent Robin Egg Sequins for a little more sparkle and shine: L-O-V-E!!
I'm smitten with all the pink and sparkle on this card ... how about you?? Please be sure to visit The Shabby Tea Room to be inspired by the other Shabby Girls' beautiful creations this week ... and then play along for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree to the Paper Sweeties boutique!
