Sweet Confetti Garland

I was absolutely SMITTEN with this week's challenge at Papertrey Ink' Challenge Blog.  I knew right away what I wanted to do with it; so I grabbed my Crate Paper, Oh Darling line and got to work.  I layered several of their sweet patterned papers, stickers, vellum overlays and little tidbits to create my base.
I created the Confetti Banner using sequins, vellum pieces, and hearts cut using the Heart Prints Die Collection which I strung with some silver twine.
Nichole Heady's Papertrey Ink Blog - Challenge #199 - Confetti Garland - I LOVED this sweet tutorial.  I used Papertrey Ink's Heart Prints Die Collection (Set of 3) and they are the sweetest dies ever!  I use them all the time.  They fit perfectly into my garland, and used to cut layered patterned papers for my heart (at the bottom left).  Papertrey Ink has SO many adorable stamp sets and dies.  You will want to own them ALL!  (at least, I know that I do!)
 
Amusing Challenge #15 - Anything Goes - I love playing along in Chris' challenges at the A Muse Studio's Challenge Blog.  This week it' an Anything Goes theme, so come play along!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Anything Goes"

Classy Cards 'N Such - Challenge #69 - Letter It - The LETTERS I used for my sentiment are some Crate Paper vellum overlays.  The CCNS products I used include Seam Binding that I stained red, as well as Baby Pearls in White (on my sequins).

Cardz TV Designer Challenge - Create a Card for Any Occasion - I chose to make a card for my sweet 4-year old niece who is desperately missing her Mommy who passed away in October.  It's a Valentines/Just Because card to let her know how VERY loved she really is!  I love how it's so girly because I know it will make her feel special (like she truly is)!!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek, and please visit me again soon.  If you leave a comment, I will stop by your blog to say hello as well.  And if you want to become a new blog follower of my blog, I will be sure to stop by and follow you.  I always LOVE meeting creative new blog friends.

  8. Hey Karen-- I saw your card when I was checking out the PTI Make It Monday Challenge. I just wanted to compliment you on an incredible card! I adore your garland and love how you incorporated different shapes. I also really like the softness that the vellum adds. This is a sweet little card that also has plenty of pizazz, so thanks for the inspiration!
