Never Give Up

Today is my day to post for Pinque Peacock!!
I chose to step away from doing a Christmas item for this post. I have a family member that was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. One of my little sisters so I chose to make a card for her and to encourage all of you to have all of your annual check ups. If you have been diagnosed and are battling this terrible disease Never Give Up!!!

Here is my card

I started with a solid blue basic card stock. I then used a piece of kraft colored card stock and cut it down and rounded the edges. I used a pretty blue gel pen in blue and faux stitched the edge. Next I used a piece of pretty print paper from my stash and rounded the edges of that one also.I then took the cardstock with the sentiment on it and rounded those edges then used a brown chalk ink pad to ink the edges. Next I added the cute pink feather trim. I took the ribbon charm in the lower right corner and tied Trendy Twine in Tickled with Teal into a small bow then used teal stickles and put a drop on the tails of the ribbon. The silver ribbon charm is from Pinque Peacock. I then used a piece of BoBunny Double Dot Ribbon in teal to make my ribbon loop. Next I added a beautiful Baby Girl Pink Pleated Petal from Pinque Peacock. For the flower center I used a 3/4 inch fabric covered button from the Zoo Baby Collection from Pinque Peacock. Now this card would not be complete without a beautiful Angel Pin from Pinque Peacock. This one is in white.
When it was all put together I used the same teal Stickles and made small drops all the way around the card stock sentiment. One of the greatest things about the beautiful Hand Made items from Pinque Peacock is regardless of what the theme of the release is most of the items can be used at anytime. They have a timeless beauty. Thank-you for stopping by today!

Fall Birthday with Pinque Peacock

Hi everyone!!! It is my day to post for Pinque Peacock!
I chose to do a fall themed Birthday Card for my Mom.
Here is the pic of my finished projects and I will tell you what I used and give you links to products!
Now the first pic is of the full front of the card. I started with a chocolate brown cardstock and folded it in half then cut a smaller piece of Kraft colored card stock and embossed it with a fall embossing folder from The Pinque Peacock Discount Hut.. Here is the link to that folder
Fall Embossing Folder
I then added a strip of burlap which is not in stock right now at Pinque Peacock.
I then added 3 Girl Jam Ribbon. It was the Harvest duo. The 3 felt leaves and orange bloom are all prima and from really old lines.. Yes I am a hoarder :) I then added a wood tag and stamped the sentiment onto it.
Then the crowning glory is that beautiful Pin from Pinque Peacock. It is made with beautiful smoky crystals. Here is a link to the pins
Beaded Stick Pins
If you don't see this exact pin contact Jessica and refer to this post she is awesome about doing custom orders!!!!
 Now the little brown bag will be in stock soon at Pinque Peacock. I made this to hold a gift card inside the card. I used the Viva Gold Glitter Liner from the shop. Here is that link

Below is a close up of all of the embellishments.
Thank-you for stopping by today!!! Have a fabulous day!!!

Celebrating with 3 Girl Jam

Hi and happy Wednesday 3 Girl JAM fans!!!
It is my pleasure to post as a guest designer today for 3 Girl JAM!!! I hope you have joined the party!!!
If not here is your link !
PARTY
Since this month is all about Celebration at 3 Girl JAM I have created a Birthday Card. Here it is:
On this card I embossed a card stock mat then took a smaller piece of card stock and covered it with fabric.
Then I faux stitched with a black photo safe pen. Next I adhered the fabric and  the embossed mat together.
My next step was to make my bow with my so easy to work with 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon. I then used a Maya Road canvas tag and stamped the sentiment onto it then inked the edges and attached it to the card. I used  pop dots to attach it all to my card base.
As you can tell I am a HUGE fan of 3 Girl JAM Crinkle ribbon and the bow maker! I love having a perfect bow every time. You will also find a tutorial on the 3 girl JAM blog to show you how to use it.

This is a double bow but the possibilities with this great tool are endless!
If you want perfect bows every time this is the product for you!!
Here is a close up of the bow

Thank-you for stopping by my blog today!!! Be sure to visit 3 Girl JAM and also jump over to the
 Event Page and join the party!!!
