***I decided to jump onboard the "Slimline Card" train and try my hand on one-they are a lot of fun!  The image I used from All Dressed Up is called " I Love to Bake".  I added the black and white checked tablecloth, the pennant banners from KKS using a stencil and two of their rubber sentiments.  As this was my first SL card, it was a little awkward at first but it won't take long to get the hang of them and make several! On the inside, I was already to add a floral print with a black background when I happened to turn it over and found the b&w hounds tooth pattern!  What a perfect piece to use.  I'm so happy with this addition to my Birthday Card Stash!

The All Dressed up team hope you will play along with us and you have until the evening of the 14th July (UK time) to enter your cards with the link below. 

And don't forget to visit our Etsy Store to see all of Wendy's fabulous images. 

We can't wait to see what you all make!

See you again soon

Guest Designer at Besties International-Theme is Reds and Pinks for the month of LOVE!

I'm feeling so blessed to be asked to submit this card for the February Guest Designer at My Besties International Challenge Blog!  There are SO many talented people that post gorgeous projects there that I'm truly humbled.
I chose to use one of Sherri Baldy's "Pocket card Sheets" and this one is called Bestie Party Paper Pocket Letter Kit-whew that's a mouthful!  It can be found here in the Sherri Baldy Shop .  It has so many panels to either adjust to a larger size or, like I did here, use multiple sections.  I used 3 different ones and matted them, edging with cat's eye chalk.  I popped the center one up with dimensional foam dots.  I did add some additional depth to the cutie pie in the center with my copics but otherwise, it was so handy to use pre-colored!  I mounted them on a GREAT Sherri Baldy style paper (crowns with glitter!) and wrapped the end with a soft pink grosgrain ribbon.
On the inside liner,I used a strip of said crown paper and another matter pocket card-this time stamped with a rockin' good sentiment for the Birthday girl!  Please come and celebrate with us at My Besties International Challenge-the theme is reds and pinks-how perfect for the month of Love!  Thanks Gals for the privilege to show my design on your fantastic Challenge board!

Doodle Pantry "Cute Cake" new release makes it's debut this month!

 This is one of my favorite new releases from Doodle Pantry for SO many reasons!  I just love the greens and purples together, so many possibilities with all the download has to offer, the crisp clean images, multiple sentiments, great design papers--Wow how cool!
I wanted my card to be all about the CAKE so I enlarged the digi , mounted it on the 5 x 6.5 horizontal card blank and then did a fancy cut around the image.  By doing that, it is hinged so that it has a dimensional look!
I slid the complimentary design paper under the image, rounded the corners of the blank so it would match the round features of the image and fancy cut the banner.  By cutting the saying in half, I could frame the cake.  Nestled under the cake digi is one of the sentiments from the release.  I just love all the flourishes she puts on these! The little turquoise Twinkle Goosebumps are great bling to use-by Queen & Co.  And several accents on the cake are glittered with Stickles, crystal-purple- turquoise.
The great thing about Doodle Pantry is that if you use one of the new releases from the website in our challenge "any digi ", then you get a free new release called Petite Bouquet.  This card was made using that wonderful set--Come on and join us!
