♥ celebrating dads ♥

Good morning everyone, danni here with some card ideas for Father's Day this upcoming Sunday.  I pulled out my MME designer tapes again for these cards, I can not tell you how I love them.  Jana shared several incredible ideas in this post, for even more ideas with your tapes.

♥ MME designer tape love ♥

 good morning.  how are you?  do you have crafty plans this weekend?  i am going to try to finish up some projects but i am also going to take some mommy time for my babes.  before i go out to play with them in the sunshine, i wanted to share my project this week over at the MME blog.  

our friday post features projects selected by Jana, Anam and myself from our Pinterest MME Inspiring Pages & Cards page.

i chose this card from the incredibly talented Tracie Claiborne 

i absolutely LOVE her gorgeous palette and design.  i love that you could use this design over and over with the gorgeous patterns in all of the MME lines, with MME scraps or the brand new MME Indie Chic Designer tape.

i chose to create my version using the new tapes i received.  these are so beautiful, have beautiful patterns and adhere beautifully to a piece of cardstock.

here is the designer tape i decided to use for this card

Indie Chic Ginger Designer Tape

your smile makes life sweet card

 i began my card by cutting a piece of white cardstock 3 x 5".  i then began applying the strips of tape on a diagonal.  when i was finished applying the strips, i turned the card over and cut off the excess tape.  i ran my card front through my sewing machine with different stitches on the tapes.

embellishing the card was easy since the new Ginger layered stickers make it easy to dress up any card.

i then tied twine through the Ginger buttons (direction) and adhered them to the card front

i then adhered the card front to a card base.  this design could be used over and over with designer/washi tapes or scraps of papers you can not bring your heart to throw out.

thank you Tracie for the gorgeous inspiration.  please make sure to check out her blog, but only when you have time to look around, it's incredible.

thank you for visiting me.  to see all the other featured layouts and layouts, please visit the MME Pinterest-Inspired post

have a GREAT weekend!

hugs & so much love♥

♥ pinch me kind of news to share ♥

good morning.
today, i have the most amazing privilege of sharing with you the news that i have been asked to join the design team over at My Mind's Eye.  i am beyond honored and thrilled for this incredible opportunity and blessing.  i absolutely love their products from the rich colors to the amazing brads, the lines make me swoon and i create with their products until the very last "scrap" has a home.  i thank everyone at MME for this opportunity.  i look forward to creating with such an amazing and inspiring team and look forward to sharing with you my love of their gorgeous products.
i am blessed and oh so thankful.


  i was so happy to receive the most amazing box of all the newest lines being released now.
Indie Chic, On the Sunny Side, and Nostalgia  are classic MME, rich colors, gorgeous patterns, incredible embellies and oh so versatile.

it was really hard to decide which lines to share with you today, so i decided since this is a very "sunny" day for me, i would start with On the Sunny Side.  this line has gorgeous blues, reds, oranges and the cuuuutest layered stickers and chipboard embellies.  i had so much fun dressing up the chipboard and layered embellies and it will be so much fun for summer.  i have a TON of ideas for this line and know you will too, it's happy, it's summery, it's perfect♥

i punched circles from this paper

and gave them dimension by adhering them using 3-D tape

 

 

  Indie Chic is absolutely GORGEOUS and there are no pictures that could truly do it justice.  the colors are so rich and so beautiful and all the embellishments make me so happy, from the fun banners to the buttons and brads, it makes creating so, so much fun.


the minute i opened the dt box, the ideas were flowing, and i can not wait to fill this blog with lots of cards and creations using these lines.  the first pack i decided to work with was the Indie Chic Nutmeg papers and embellies.  This is technically a more masculine line with the embellies and such but i loved the colors too much to stick with a masculine theme, these papers are so versatile and gorgeous on their own that i played with some feminine-themed cards.

i cut the beautiful roses from this paper and layered them with 3-D tape (i looove this paper)

 

 thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me share with you, for your sweet comments, friendship and shared inspiration♥

hugs and love
