OCC Crazy for Hearts - Casing Vicky Gould, ssnotime72 and IC165

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

*Crazy for Hearts* is today's OCC Challenge theme!!! Swing by the OCC blog to find out all the details!!!

First I would like to show you the card I made in conjuction with this weeks OCC Challenge. My main inspiration came from this past weeks *Featured Stamper Challenge #103*-Vicky Gould!!!

Vicky is a fabulous Stamper and she is so sweet too!!! She always leaves the nicest comments!!!

Her gallery is devine and I found this card to case. I changed the colors, the theme, did some piercing, attached a Hat Pin and added a couple more layers.

I couldn't resist using my yummy PTI *Raspberry Fizz* CS!!! I combined it with Whisper White and Pink Pirouette. The hearts are from the *Best Wishes & More* Set and the sentiment is from the *A Happy Heart* Set.

I started out with the centerpiece...I punched out the Raspberry Fizz scallops with the SU *Scalloped Edge* Punch and then I adhered it to the Pink Pirouette CS. Next I pierced a row on both sides. Then I punched out three *White 1 3/8" Circles* and attached the trimmed *Raspberry Fizz hearts* with Stampin Dimensionals. The circles, the bottom panel and the centerpiece panel were all raised with Stampin Dimensionals. I added a *Raspberry Fizz Ribbon* in between the panels plus added a *Hat Pin with Pearls*. The sentiment was attached with some matching *Scrappers Floss*. At the end I added the Hat Pin.

Next is my card for the IC165 and ssnotime72.

I was inspired by this *Love Note* and I also used Sharon's Challenge theme *Love is in the Air* for my inspiration!!! Can you tell Valentine is right aroud the corner - LOL?!?

This Set is from *There She Goes* called *Year Round Sentiments*!!!

I used this Sketch that was featured by Julee Tilman a while back and I think it fits this Set perfectly!!! Click here to see another card I made with the same Set for Thanksgiving.

I used so much pink the last few days that I had to use the red writing on the inspiration piece and switch to one of my favorite combos - Black, White and Red Color Combo...love it!!!

First I created the Real Red CS with the *Heart Blocks* Cuttlebug folder. Next I inked the image in Basic Black and the heart in Real Read. I punched the circles with the 1 3/8", 1 1/2" and the Scalloped Circle Punch. I raised the heart and the circles with Stampin Dimensionals. I also added some small Red Rhinestone Brads on the image and the larger ones on the side. Before I attached everything I added this Black Satin Ribbon I bought at Stamper's Dream.

I kinda like how this card turned out - I think I need to make a few more!!!

Can you tell I was on a roll last night..... I made a cute little matching *Pillow Treat Box*.

I used the 3M Multipurpose Transparency paper (Office Max) and cut it with the Sizzix *Pillow Box Die* from SU. The box was adhered with Sticky Strips. Then I dressed the box up with the same elements from the card and filled it with some yummy Jelly Beans.

I hope we inspired you to play along??? Looking forward seeing your creations!!!

TSG Sneak Peek, #3, LSC205

Happy TGIF!!!

Today is the last day of *There She Goes* Sneak Peeks!!! Hope you've enjoyed all the cards you have seen so far?!?

This beautiful Set is called *Flowers of Happiness* and it was partly designed by Petty Utley.

The layout I used is from Jen del Muro's SFYTT Sketch this past Saturday!!! I think it worked perfectly with this image!!!

The colors I used for this card are - Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. The image and sentiment were inked in Memento *Rich Cocoa* and the leaves were colored with the Prisma Marker - Green Tea. I don't know if you can tell....but I stamped another image from the same Set onto the Pink Pirouette CS using the same color Ink (click on the photo for close up). I had to add the yummy Satin Chocolate Chip Ribbon. Right below I attached some Copper Eyelet and some Halfback Pearls.

*******************************************************

Here is a quick card I made for the LSC205 this morning. I love simple white cards and of course I had to squeeze this one in - LOL!!!

I randomly inked this new *Flowers of Happiness* Set in Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango. The sentiment was also inked in Baja Breeze. Next I added the cute little Styled Silver Ribbon Slider and tied the Tangerine Tango Ribbon - voila!!!

Don't forget to play along in the *There She Goes Monthly Challenge* - use Stampin Dimensional on your project and added to the Gallery under *TSG03*. More info can be found on Jessica's blog!!!

Roses and Chocolate....yummy!!!

Happy Thursday!!!

Today is the second Sneak Peek for *There She Goes*. The Set we are showing you today is called *Roses & Chocolate*.

This fabulous Set is a design concept by no other then our awesome DT member *Faith Hofrichter* !!! If you haven't settled on a Valentine Set yet - this is definitely a yummy one!!!

For my card I used Pink Pirouette, Rose Regals and Whisper White. I colored the box of chocolate with Copic and Prisma Markers.

As most of you already know....the *There She Goes Challenge Theme* this month is to use *Stampin Dimensionals* and I sure used a lot of them!!!

I used the Mojo71 Sketch for my layout. The sentiment and the image were inked in Memento *Rich Cocoa*. Did you know that this is the best ink to stamp your images if you use Copic or Prisma Markers??? I learned this helpful hint from my buddy Denise - thanks GF!!!

To dress the card up a bit I embossed the Pink Pirouette CS with the CB folder *Heart Blocks*. The Ribbon is from SU - 5/8" Regal Rose and I added the fancy Styled Silver Ribbon Holder. At the end I added some Silver Brads.
