You're My Cup of Tea! - Pinspirational Challenges

Hello Everyone! Today is the last blog post I will be doing as part of the Pinspirational Challenges Design Team :( *sobs* But the future challenges on the Challenge Blog are in the most awesome capable hands of Deanne and the rest of the Design Team, so I wish them all the best for the future! :) Thank you Deanne for being a great Team Leader and giving me the opportunity to be on the team in the first place! You're an inspiration!

Here is my creation:

 

 

 Craft Supplies used:

- Crafts-Too You Small Hearts Embossing Folder

- Sizzix Small Dots Embossing Folder

- Forever Friends Black and Gold Petal Pattern Embossing Folder

- Yellow, Green and Pink Twine from American Crafts

- Lawn Fawn - My Cup of Tea Stamp Set

- Crate Paper - Paper Heart Collection

- Papermania 3 x 3 White Blank Cards

- Momento Black Tuxedo Ink

- X-Cut Corner rounder punch

- 3D foam dots

I had a bit of a mishap with the printer, so instead I had to use this stamp set for this card set. From the Pins image I've taken the cup of black tea (it could be coffee as well!) 

I embossed each card with a random embossing folder (from the three above) and used paper from the Paper Heart collection from Crate Paper and trimmed these to size for the 3 x 3 cards. These were then rounded off with the X-Cut corner rounder punch and twine was tied around the paper. These were then stuck on the embossed card with 3D foam dots. I then stamped a few random images from the My Cup of Tea by Lawn Fawn on some white card stock, and then these were trimmed down and attached with 3D foam dots. So there you are, the end results are of the cards above. All very cute and all very different!

So I hope you've all enjoyed this make, please check out the awesome DT creations on the blog and get everyone to join in on this week's challenge.

Challenge starts today Tuesday 16th April and ends Monday 22nd April, Midnight Newfoundland Time.

Aww! Adorable Aww-ness @ Pins HQ

Another week has gone by, but it's time for another Pins Challenge! First of all, I'd like to welcome our new DT member Debbie! Welcome to the team!

Here's your picture for this week:

Cute isn't it?

So here's my creation:

I used the chipboard page of a scrapbook album to use as the base for my wall hanging, then layered the chipboard with patterned paper from Dovecraft's Princess Fairytale collection. I used a doily to add an extra layer and then cut a circle with a nesting die from X Cut which was layered on to a Lacy Circle die from Spellbinders! Lots of layering going on there, right?! I added some lace at the bottom of the hanging and added this 'Cherish' chipboard cut out from K and Company. The image is from our sponsor and is coloured in using ProMarkers (Soft Peach, Pastel Pink, Cinnamon and Rose Pink)

Our sponsors this week are:

Team 1: Fred She Said

 

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

Team 2: MelJen Designs

 

Prize: 4 Digis
