Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Challenges

This weeks challenge is to make the sentiment the focal point of the card.For the sentiment I used the large sentiment dies. I used the Brushstroke Patterned paper die cut with Scallop Stackers Small frame die. I cut some Skinney Minii Banners and placed my stamped rose die cut from Community Garden in Liliac Grace and Winter Wisteria Ink.

My card is inspired by the movie 'You've Got Mail' . Since it was based in Seattle I used the new rain drop backdrop with Nuvo drops. Then I cut it out in the banner shape. Of course the the little bird needed an umbrella!

Painted Joy

Painted Brushstroke Backgrounds
Ok so it did take a bit of time to pull out those paints! I was really glad I tried...it took alot less paint than I could image and well it worked. So I used Dina Wakley from Ranger the Heavy Body Acrylic Paint/ Lime and Ruby. For the bit of white Deco Art Acrylic Paint White. I took Dawn's instruction to heart and tried not to get crazy once you started because you really did not need much to get the effects.
For the rest of card I die cut out Phrase Play "Joy" in a gold foiled metallic, I cut the border from PTI edger dies. The sentiment is from the Wet Paint Holiday stamp set. All stamped in Delicata Gold. On the bottom I placed PTI Sheer Basic pattern paper/ the stars to add some interest without over whelming anything else.

Falalala Bling

Lawn Fawnatics
Bling It Up
For my card I picked Christmas theme. I blinged up the LF Falalala word die and the mini wreath. My glitter paper was the LF Fawndamentals sparkle cardstock in "Holiday" in  reds and greens. My sentiment is from the LF,  'Winter in the Park' stamp set all emboossed in white. My Christmas patterned paper is from Photoplay "Here Comes Santa". The word die was cut twice..once the diagonal of Santa paper, then on the glitter paper. The glitter word was inserted in the bottom opening all popped up with the rest of the Santa paper.
Counting Down to Christmas!

Enclosed Birthday

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday
Incorporating Packing Dies on Your Cards
For my card I used the Enclosed Die Series : Birthday. It comes with a full set to make a present package tag... so I turned that into a shaker card. This was made masculine (for the DH) by using the PTI Little Argyle pattern paper. Since the the color Weathervane came out it even made this paper easier to use! I used the set Woderful words: Birthday for the sentiment die cut out in Soft Stone.
