Alphabet Challenge

I'm part of a challenge group to create a card each week using a selected alphabet letter that another member of the group selects each Wednesday.  The letter this week was the letter L.  I found this cute ladybug stamp from DRS Designs at a stamp show this past March and couldn't resist getting it!  The oval dies are from Lifestyle Crafts Lace Ovals.

Pin Cushion

Created my first ever pin cushion!  I "studied" several different YouTube videos on how to make a pin cushion and combined the details of what I thought I could do to create one!  The frame is from the Michaels dollar spot.  I removed the back of the frame, took a square of fabric, stuffed it with fiberfill, then hand-basted around the outer edge of the fabric, put a 2 inch square of cardstock inside the fabric over the fill before I pulled it closed.  Then hot glued the backside of the fiber-filled fabric to a piece of cardstock then ran a bead of hotglue around the opening of the frame, stuffed the filled-fabric into it, hotglued the cardstock to the back of the frame then used my adhesive gun to adhere the frame stand I had removed from the opening originally.  Whew!  It took me several tries to get it they way I wanted it, but am pleased with the result.  Now, to make 4 more for a tagged textiles swap hosted by stampingooddeeds on SCS!

Delicate Pink Butterfly

Love the laser cut cards that SU offered this past spring so decided to use it as the base for the pink/frilly PTI card swap category.  The butterfly and sentiment are from the PTI set Beautiful Butterflies.

On The Farm

This is a tag for a birthday gift!  Created for PTI swap using On The Farm stamp set.  The cloud was die cut from felt using the PTI cloud die.  Flat bottlecap holds a 100% country sentiment.  Fun set!

Red Cords

This is one of my all-time favorite card layouts to make!  It can be made for any occasion and any age.  The corduroy look was created with a crimper.  The stamp set is Back Pocket Basics from PTI.

Flip-floppin' Into Summer

I love flip-flops so this PTI stamp set and die were a must have for me!
