PAPER CAKE TRAIL

Hello sweets, I hope all are having a wonderful day.....  It's a cold and windy one today, but the sun is shining.... Wanted to share a card I made for the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge. I did not have the exact Stampin' Up colours, but, managed to get as close as possible. Thanks for stopping by! Alyson

Today's card was made using the color challenge over at the  Hand Stamped Sentiments blogspot. The idea for this card came off of Pinterest.  I used a swirly embossing folder, flower punches, Green rhinestones and the stamped set 'Fabulous Florets'. Have a lovely day my friends! Alyson

Today's card was made for this weeks challenges over at Handstamped Sentiments & Dynamic Duos. I used some Pink Pirouette for my base, along with two layers of different patterned paper.  I stamped a swirl image onto the second layer, as well as stamped polka dots on the third layer.  I finished it with some stitching and other toppings. Thank you for stopping by! Alyson

Happy New Years my friends.  I hope that 2012 was good to you and I hope 2013 will be just as good or better.  I always look forward to making new goals, short and long, then look back to see if I actually achieved them.  Most times I do, but there are a few that never do get accomplished. Today's card was inspired by two things.  First by the color challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments , as well as the pretty card that I CASed from the 2103 Spring catalogue. Card Recipe: Paper :  Textured White, Primrose Petals, Pool Party, Scraps. Ink :  Pool Party. Stamps : Hearts a Flutter, Hand Penned Holidays. Accessories : Honeycomb embossing folder, sander, heart embossing folder, hearts a flutter die cuts, Pool Party embossing powder, dimensionals, Whisper White satin ribbon. Thank you for stopping by!

  Today's card was inspired my the technique challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I began on Crumb Cake.  I ran some more Crumb Cake through my big shot using a Vintage patterned embossing folder that I inked White.  I topped it off with a pumpkin die cut, ribbon, lace, buttons, a prima flower. Thank you for stopping by! Alyson

As I was surfing the net I came upon a really cute Halloween card I just had to CAS.  You can find this pretty card over here, along with her blog here. Today's card came from the pumpkin theme over at  Hand Stamped Sentiments. I used Elegant Eggplant for my base and top mat.  I ran the mat through my big shot using the wood grain embossing folder.  The flower vine was cut using my cricket and is adhered to some Lime Green cardstock.  The Pumpkin is embellished with purple ribbon, twine, White button and leaf stick pins. Thank you for stopping by! Alyson 

Today's card was inspired by the Vintage theme over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.   I'm off to work, have a nice day & thanks for stopping by! Alyson

Today's tags were made using the 'Fruity' theme over at hand stamped sentiments.  I have mounted fruit illustrations onto some Very Vanilla cardstock.  I inked the edges, added some rhinestones, gingham ribbon & Voila! Thanks for Stopping By! Alyson

Today's card is inspired by two challenges, Create with Connie & Mary & Hand Stamped Sentiments .  I began on a piece of 3 x 6 Pool Party cardstock.  I really love this tone of blue.  The first layer is Pink Pirouette that has been run through my big shot, using the polka dot embossing folder.  I cut a banner using a piece of Regal Rose patterned paper then stamped it.  I also used some pretty designer paper, cut it into a banner, then added two clear rhinestones.  The center banner was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Grey ink.  I finished this card off with some gorgeous ruffled Pool Party ribbon (gotta get more of this, its amazing), a punched flower with a Rose colored button. Thank you for stopping by!  Alyson  

This is the card I chose for the Hand Stamped Sentiments tryouts. Made with Teal, Texture, a touch of colour and real sand granuals. Thanks for stopping by! Alyson
