A little bit Outlandish

Hello all - Helle here with a new card project for the Coffee Beans Design Team.

This time I've done it a bit differently meaning that instead of coloring in a digi stamp, I've used the print and cut option in my Silhouette Studio Software. It's a bit more of a lazy approach but if you - like me - aren't the best with markers or crayons, it's a great alternative.

This time I used digi stamps made by our own Anne Ingram and Annie Collins. These stamps are available in the Lady Beans Etsy Store

I originally intended this to be a bridal project but when searching for digi paper to use, I came across this lovely paper by Lettering Delights - A Wee Bit Scottish and this of course refers to the TV series Outlander.

So this is what I came up with:

I pictured these to be Claire's shoes ;-)

The shoes are by Anne and the flowers are by Annie. 

I did use a Promarker for the center of the flowers + a Gelly Roll Pen with glitter.

The background is made with digi paper and a Celtic Knot Motif from the Silhouette Design Store ID #57808.

Finally I added a small sentiment written with a Celtic font.

I think it rather fun that you can use this method too. What do you think? Please let me know in a comment below.

Thanks for joining me today - hope to see you back here very soon.

Wedding Season Is Upon Us

The more elegant the wedding, the more elegant the cake.  This Digi file from Anne Ingram was sponged in Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Wild Honey Inks. The design on the cake is an image from Simon Says Stamp's Thankful Flowers stamp set, heat embossed in Caramel Cosmic Semi Transparent Embossing Powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle. Glitter Peel Off Stickers from Love from Lizi.  Sentiment from Simon Says Stamp's Congratulations stamp set, heat embossed in the same Caramel embossing powder.  The mats are gold mirror, peach colored, and designer card stock on top of Whisper White A2 card base.  Had a lot of fun making this card.

Winter Wishes

      Yes, yes I know... I know.. it is not Winter yet.  It is extremely cold though.  And we are only a month a few days away from the first day of Winter.  Look at this cute little reindeer though.  Doesn't he look like he has fallen from the weight of that special gift with your name on it from the North Pole?  This Digi file is from Rhoda Design Studio's Esty shop. Be sure to check out her Digi files. 

As part of the Design Team for The Coffee Beans, I have made a cute little card.  Be sure to check out my blog for more information on how I completed this card.  Thank you for visiting.
