I'm Excited to be Guest Designing for PSA Essentials Again Today! & Blog Candy PRIZE ALERT!!!!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Wen Libby O asked me to guest design for PSA Essentials again, I was more then happy to play with her fun stamps!

I made 3 projects and will show one of them here, but you will have to visit the PSA Stamp Camp blog to see the other 2. ;)

Make sure and read to the bottom before you go though because Libby is giving a very nice prize to one lucky follower!

I created this super quick and easy cupcake gift box for my blog post.
It would make a great Teacher or co-worker gift!

I used PSA Essential's "Dare To Dream" and "Mr. and Mrs." Peel and Stick sets.
I love mixing the outer rings and centers from different sets!  :)

BTW...isn't that ribbon almost as yummy looking as that cupcake?
It is Rose Silky Crush from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The "designer paper" I used is "Preschool Artist" from my new "True-ly Colorful" digital paper pack that you can purchase from Clear Dollar Stamps. 
I had a blast creating this fun collection of papers!
It is downloadable now in your choice of  either  8"x11 1/2" or 12"x12"  formats for just $3.00!

I thought I would tease you with a snippet from one of my other projects that is on the PSA Stamp Camp blog.  Hope it peaks your interest!  Bad aren't I?   ;)

Now, about the prize... 
PSA will giveaway 1 stamper, 1 Peel & Stick pack, and 1 ink to one of my followers. All you have to do is follow me (if you aren't already) then head over to PSA Stamp Camp and follow them. It would be great if you left a comment both places too. *wink*wink*

The winner will be chosen at random. Entries close on 9/18 at 11.59 PM. 

To get your own PSA Essentials stamps, head on over to Polka Dot Parlor where they are having a 25% off sale on Peel and Stick Packs or a free alignment tool with the purchase of a custom stamp. Offer is good now through 10/1

My card today works for all of my assignments plus I needed a card for my nieces wedding! 

I sooo love it when everything falls together like this! :)

The beautiful ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon's  May Ribbon Club set.

The drop dead gorgeous cardstock is Bronze, Mountain Rose, Jade Satin, and Jade Riccio, all from Discount Card Stock. I did some embossing which is always beautiful on these metallic papers.

The elegant sentiment stamp is from PSA Essentials "Mr. & Mrs." Peel and Stick stamp pack and the boarder stamp that I used gold embossing powder on, is from their "Whimsy Cakes" pack.

I thought the gold embossing tied the sentiment in with that pretty gold trimmed ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I'm The Guest Designer @ Discount Card Stock This Month! ~ Shower Invitation

Tweet

Hi everyone! 

I was asked to be the May Guest Designer over @ Discount Card Stock and today they featured my first project on their blog! :) I will have a project on there every Friday this month!

I was so excited to get complimentary box of pretty cardstock and start creating with it! They have so many colors and textures to choose from! I had no problem finding the perfect cardstock I needed for my son and future daughter-in-law's wedding colors!

This is a very simple and easy to make wedding shower invitation. Simple is what we all need when making multiples such as invitations...right? ;)

I designed the invitation in Word on my computer, printed it out on Discount Card Stock's - Brilliant White 110#, attached a pretty piece of ribbon and a sweet stamped wedding image then attached it to the softly colored Canary 67#, also from Discount Card Stock.

The ribbon is 3/8" Aqua Organza from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The wedding bells stamp and boarder is from PSA Essentials' "Mr. & Mrs." Peel and Stick pack.

(I am also guest designing for them this month so come back next Friday to see what else I have created with Discount Card Stock and PSA Essentials products and have a chance to win some great prizes! :)

CLICK HERE to see other projects I have done using Discount Card Stock's papers. ;)

I would so love it if you would head over to Discount Card Stock's blog and leave me some love there so they will know you came to visit. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy looking through their archives while you are there. They have some super nice projects for your inspiration. 

HERE is a link to their shop too. They have some beautiful cardstocks and supplies and at very reasonable prices! The shop is organized by paper type, colors, and other categories so it is extremely easy to find just what you need fast! :)

Thanks for dropping by! :)

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop and My PSA Essentials Card

Tweet

Hello All!

It is the 13th of the month which means that it is time for another fun Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog hop! 

If you came from Cheryl's sweet blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened on to the hop here, you will want to start back at the beginning at RRR design team blog.

When I saw the pretty yellow dotted ribbon in Really Reasonable Ribbon's April Ribbon of the Month set, I instantly knew I wanted to use my K&Company's ~ Susan Winget "Spring Blossom" specialty paper. I think it is a perfect match! :)

Libby O from PSA Essentials sent me lots of goodies to play with and I used one of the "Peel & Sick Packs" called "PSA*Dare To Dream". She also sent me a really cool stamp body that inks and stamps all in one movement, but for this card I just used an acrylic block so I could use colors and embossing powders to match my designer paper.

Here is a closeup of that sweet yellow ribbon and the darling stamp.

You should really check out  Really Reasonable Ribbon's - April  Ribbon of the Month Club package. Bonnie picked out lots of pretty spring themed ribbon  for this set.  :)
This would be a great time to sign up if you aren't already.

Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Tilly's blog.  ;).

Remember to leave a comment on all of the hop blogs for your chance to win some beautiful ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

BTW...we have just signed on a bunch of awesome new designers to join us on the Really Reasonable Ribbon design team. Head on over to THIS POST to meet 'em! :)

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Wedding Ensemble With Really Reasonable Ribbon

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Today is the last day of a week full of inspirational wedding projects over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings. You should really head over and check out all of the beautiful creations!

I have been ready for this event for quite some time. I made my son Kurt and future daughter-in-love Kristin's invitations and all 100 are just setting on the pool table waiting to be mailed 8 weeks prior to the wedding.

They chose Canary and Mermaid for their colors so of course the invitations had to match!  ;)

For this set, I used several Really Reasonable Ribbon ribbons.

The pretty ribbon on the invitation is Satin Grosgrain Double Band Teal. The ribbons on the favor are 1 1/4" White Silk and Satin With Grosgrain Edge Light Yellow. The RSVP's also have a piece of the yellow satin.

The White, Frosted Yellow, and  Intense Teal Cardstock are all available @ Discount Card Stock. 

The wording for the invitations and reply cards was done on my computer, then my dear sweet hubby and I added the floral stamping and heat embossing. (if you add 'em up....that was 600 individual stampings! Ugh!) The candy favor is done with a darling stamp from PSA Essentials from their "Mr. & Mrs. Peel & Stick set.

Jelly Belly's are Kristin's favorite candy so it is great that they have colors to match! :)

We also added about 600 pieces of bling!

Here is a peek @ The pool table. ;)

I have been a busy busy girl!  ;)

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs,

True :D
