Tea Party Challenge : Stitches ans Ribbon!!!

Hello my friends. It's time for another smARTworks Tea Party Time, my challenge for you was to create a project using "Stitches and Ribbon".
Here are my creations:

So happy for you! : This is a very monochromatic card. For this card I used LOL Set. I stamped the image in Basic Brown Ink and the sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, embossed then using Clear Embossing powder.


Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White, Tan Parchment (The Paper Company).
Paper: SU Bella Rose.
Stamps: LOL by smARTworks.
Ink: Basic Brown, Chocolate Chip Craft.
Embellishments: White Satin Ribbon, Dew drops.
Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, SU Dimensionals, 3D foam EK-Success, Clear Embossing powder, Embossing gun.

Happy Birthday: For this card I used Tulip Square Set. I stamped the image and sentiment in a piece of Aida Fabric, this is especial for cross stitch, did I mention that I love cross stitching? I used straight , cross and chain stitches. I waved the ribbon around, positioned on a piece on White CS, then onto a piece of Riding Hood Red and finally onto the card base (Kraft color). I used white thread to go around the Kraft color piece. I had a lot of fun making this card, I usually cross stitch every night when I am watching TV :)

Stamps: Tulip Square Set.
Embellishments: Green Ribbon, Dew drops.

Quick and easy cards

Hello my friends, few days ago I created quick and easy cards. They are simple, no sewing, no pattern paper, just easy and quick. All the images are from smARTworks.

Feel better soon: For this card I used one of the new release sets from smARTworks Tulip Square Set. I stamped the tulips, colored them and them cut them out. I used Water colored pencils and I also used some Ink to color the images. The sentiment is stamped in Certainly Celery.
I took a piece of Riding Hood Red CS and a very thin paint brush so I could get the curl effect on the CS, finally I added a couple of drew drops.


Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Riding Hood Red, Su Naturals, White.
Stamps: Tulip Square Set by smARTworks.
Ink: Certainly Celery, Stazon Black.
Embellishments: Dew drops.
Accessories: Mini glue dots, Su Dimensionals, Diamond Stickles.

God is bigger!!: This card is super quick!! I used another new release set from smARTworks Dbl. Dogwood. I stamped the flowers on the lower corner and colored it a little bit with regular colored pencils.I added a bit of Gold Stickles. The sentiment was stamped in Certainly Celery and Basic Brown. The part stamped on Basic Brown was positioned with a piece of Riding Hood Red and Dimensionals.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Bazzill White, SU Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette (inside)
Stamps: Dbl. Dogwood by smARTworks.
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Certainly Celery, Basic Brown.
Accessories: Gold stickles, Color pencils, SU Dimensionals.

Rejoicing with you: For this card I used another new release set Buttoned Up. I stamped the flowers direct onto the White CS and also onto Pattern Paper. Then I cut out the flowers from the Patter paper and positioned over the stamped image with Dimensionals.
Every square is 1 1/2". I sponged them a little bit with Riding Hood Red Ink.
I added a couple of Clear Rhinestones on the upper corner and some ribbon on the sentiment panel.
Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Bazzill White, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi kiss.
Paper: SU Cerise (retired)
Stamps: Buttoned Up by smARTworks.
Ink: Riding Hood Red.
Embellishments: Organdy Green Ribbon, Clear rhinestones.

For You

Hello everyone, today I am feeling a little bit better than yesterday, but my energy is level "0", oh well, after doing my house chores and homeschool DD, I decided I wanted to play today's Color Combination Challenge on SCS: Not Quite Navy, Kraft,Baja Breeze.
I took two of my smARTworks set and started to play. To be honest, this combo was a little bit hard for me, but after I visualized what I wanted to make, it was easy, :)

I stamped my Cone flowers images on Kraft CS using White Craft Ink. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for it. Then when the images were dried I applied some Diamond Stickles and used my Sewing machine (zig zag stitches). I punched twice the main image using the Horizontal Slot, then I added the hodgepogde hardware and insert the ribbon. The sentiment is from Combo Sentiments Set .
Card Recipe:
Card stock: Not Quite Navy, Kraft, Baja Breeze, White.
Stamps: Cone flowers and Como Sentiments by smARTworks.
