Eunice

 

It's my day on the Art Impressions blog...so I am sharing a card with one of the lovely Golden Oldie gals, Eunice (Sku#K1619).

To me, Eunice looks like a no-nonsense office manager.  Or maybe a nearing-retirement teacher?  A librarian who is about to shush you?  So many possibilities...

I am using the pretty At Last papers from Ruby Rock-It, along with some metallic gold chipboard corners, and a gold banner from the At Last Collection.  I popped Eunice up on pop dots, and tied an organdy bow underneath her.

 

I kept the inside blank (without a sentiment), but jazzed it up a little with a peacock feather.

That's it from me today - happy stamping everyone!

 



Dotty

 It's my day to post over on the Art Impressions blog today!

I have a square card for you, featuring Dotty (Sku#U2778) along with the gorgeous, shimmery At Last paper pack from Ruby Rock-It:

Dotty is a fairly large image, and I wanted to show off the pretty floral collage background paper, so instead of cutting her into a large rectangle, I used my old Coluzzle circle template to cut her in a circle shape, leaving her hands, feet and skirt hanging off the edge:

I paper pieced her outfit using two subtly patterned papers, and cut out a rolled flower with my Cricut:

The sentiment is Fabulous (Sku#F3563). 

 There is still plenty of time to play along with our Pretty Papers challenge - you can link up your creation here.   Happy stamping everyone!

 



Art Impressions/Ruby Rock-It Product Swap!

The Art Impressions Design Team has teamed up with the Ruby Rock-It Design Team today, to bring you a blog hop showcasing products from both companies!  I was fortunate to be able to use the At Last Collection from RRI, so I've paired it up with the Ai Beauty in Progress Set (sku#4240) to make a Spa-themed bridal shower invitation and a couple of matching party favours:

 

The At Last papers are gorgeous, double sided papers with the most amazing shimmer to them!  It doesn't pick it up in the photos very well, but they all look like they've been sprayed with a shimmer mist.  The colours are mint, a warm peachy tone, and touches of black, taupe and a goldy yellow.

The At Last line also includes Die-cut Borders, so I've used one of the pennant strips to decorate the top of my card.  I cut a pinwheel rosette using a shimmery taupe paper, and added a double organza bow (Bella! Trims) & a button to finish it off.  Here's a closeup of the Spa gals:

I used my Cricut to cut out a cupcake wrapper (okay, it's actually a pumpkin muffin in there...) and another pinwheel rosette on a pick:

Hiding under the sentiment, and wrapped around the cupcake holder are two of the Wedding Die-Cuts and an organdy bow finishes it off.

 

I cut another little "pie-wedge" box with my Cricut and trimmed it with the At Last papers, a die-cut and a little button & bow.  That's it for me today! Your next stop on the hop is the talented Kerry Kung.  Here is a list of all the hoppers, be sure to leave them all some love:
