Tickled Pink Flamingo card with See-through section

Good morning!  I have for you today one of those cards I was already excited about when I place the order for the stamps!  I had in mind a see through card swap in which I was participating while I had my new CTMH stamp and die set on its way.  Of course, my original vision was tweaked because of the supplies I had in my stash and the fact I needed to make multiples for my swap.  This is the first card I really took advantage of my new MISTI.  

I made a couple of different wing versions.

I stamped the different parts of the flamingo with my MISTI.  Stamping the body in pink and following up with the beak and legs in black.  Then I tried my hand at partial die cutting again.  I think this time was a much better attempt although I didn't use my first card.  I chalked it up to experimentation.  It really helped in finalizing the design elements and position the stamps correctly.  I ended up with 7 cards.  I also used my MISTI to position the sentiment inside the card behind the acetate panel. 

 I stamped and die cut the wing separately. I popped it up with a pop dot.  I finished off the card with a sprinkle of sequins with smooch pearl drops in the center.

October Step Sister Breast Cancer Awareness Card

Today I am a Step Sister! (Guest Designer) at The Sisterhood of Crafters. This week the theme is Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.  The challenge is to use PINK.  I not only used pink but I used My Favorite Things Choose Hope clear stamp set.  I embossed the images and highlighted with a Wink of Stella pen.

But first I started with a Sizzix Bigz Flips card die.  I now have a Sizzix thinlits set but have not tried it yet.  It is a little more decorative and has dies to fit all the parts.

Here I used washi tape along the edges.  I also used the Creative Memories ribbon punch with some bling.  The other side has K & Co butterfly stickers and bling.

Here's another version.

Close up of the Wink of Stella highlights although it is stamped on shimmer paper and is barely noticeable.

I love the sentiment.

Girl Power Pink Kraftie Kre8ations Challenge

This months Kraftie Kre8ations Design Team challenge was to alter a box and gift it to someone who has or has lost a loved one to breast cancer. http://www.kraftiekre8ations.com/2013/10/boxes-of-hope-girl-power-pink.html

This would be my new mother in law "Lulu",  She lost her battle with breast cancer over a decade ago before I was part of the family.  I found the picture in my fiance's boxes of photos that I am trying to organize and scanned it.  I gave this to my new sister in law on my wedding day.

I have filled it with Breast Cancer Awareness ATC's and a Breast Cancer Awareness bracelet that I also created.  The bracelet is made with porcelain beads with pink ribbons and vintage czech glass beads with an iridescent finish.  The box is decorated with Creative Memories Think Pink embellishment kit.  I taped and glued paper ribbon on the outside of the lid and the inside of the box.  I also used a Stampin Up heart doily in the inside.  I used glitter glue around the edge of the lid and a beautiful new sparkly brad I just purchased at Michael's.

I decorated the inside with more Creative Memories Think Pink embellishments.  The ACT's also use the CM Think Pink kit plus The Paper Company pink shimmer paper, bling, brads, doilies and various fibers and ribbons.  The paper flowers are from CM Fabulous Power Palette.

I used the CM shape maker circle tag punch for the top left ATC, punched from old CM pink swirl paper with a Wilton doily.  

My sister in law devotes a lot of time and energy to breast cancer awareness.  I hope she can pass on the ATC's to those in need.  I make and sell the bracelets for $25 with $10 going to the Susan G Komen foundation, if you would like one please contact me.  Each bracelet is a little different.  Thank you for reading.

I am entering this project in the following challenges:
