Creation Station Girl Power Blog Hop

Happy Sunday! Can you believe we are already in November?? I can not! The family and I loaded up and went to Sterling yesterday. It is about a 90 mile drive and it was time for us to make a Walmart run. We met up with some friends for lunch before filling two carts. Stocked up on things on I knew were less expensive. I don't miss Walmart but yesterday was a much needed day away.

This month the Creation Station team is designing with the theme "Girl Power". My time management skills have not been great between getting ready for OnStage and a craft fair the week before. After getting home from Walmart, getting everything put away and making a meal for a friend who just got home from the hospital, I wasn't sure if I could come up with anything... So my design today is simple yet chic!

We all know that I can't get enough of feathers! I chose the sheet of Designer Series Paper from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. I chose to make a nice little purse (What girl doesn't love a good purse) and a nice and easy card. 

The card started with a base of Petal Pink with an earthy mat of Soft Suede that was perfect for the feather pattern. I have stamped the sentiment "You've Got This, Girl" in Coastal Cabana for a bit of a pop. It is die cut with the Stitched Nested Label Dies and accented with some fussy cut feathers towards the bottom. A nice double strand Linen Thread bow was just the right touch.

The cute little purse is made from a 6 x 6 of DSP. The closure is made with piece of Petal Pink card stock and a bronze colored Designer Element. The handles are made with Soft Suede card stock to coordinate perfectly with card! You can fill this cute little purse with a small gift or treat!

Creation Station Got Your Back Blog Hop

 Happy First Sunday of July!! I hope those of you in the United States had a fabulous holiday this week! We were blessed to have Troy's cousin and kids stop in on their way to the Grand Canyon from Iowa! Our kids have such an amazing time with them. I have been a bit on the down low lately, with last weeks grueling schedule and company coming over this week, I had to focus on my domestic duties...

Today I am creating with the Creation Station Design Team. We creating with the "Got Your Back" theme! The idea is to showcase the background stamps in the catalog! I took the opportunity to mix up two for you! Let me show you what I have created!

This card started in a bit of a different way! I had been working on swaps and had some extra layers of Crumb Cake card stock that had been stamped with Soft Suede ink using the Birch back ground stamp! Today I took it a bit further by running it through with my Pinewood Planks embossing folder to add some texture! I also had a piece of Very Vanilla stamped with Soft Suede ink using the All Wired up background stamp. If you have the chicken wire of years ago, don't look at this and say "I already have it..." It is much smaller in scale compared to the old one! So you do NEED it! After adhering this to the wood, I added this to Pear Pizzazz, I had a bugger of time getting it straight, so I rolled with the wonky layer idea! My To A Wild Rose Flower is stamped twice with Petal Pink ink and has a Soft Suede outline. I chose to use Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. A bit of Linen Thread was the only thing suitable for this card. A Stampin' Emboss Copper sentiment and some of the new Designer Elements were just what this card needed to be finished off!
