Friendship Is The Best Medicine by Leah Schaeffer

Hi all! My name is Leah Schaeffer and today is my first posting day here at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons! When deciding what project to work on I thought about a friend who I've been chatting with a lot lately and decided to make a card for her. It is always so warming to me to think about the friends we have, and this friend in particular I know because of the incredible community of crafters! So I know she'll appreciate the card even more! 

I got these fun images from the Happy Pills Cutting Files. I had the idea to utilize the print and cut option using the Silhouette Cameo and made up my own sentiment on the label for the medicine bottle. Kinda cracked me up! Then I layered up a bunch of medicine pills (chill pills for sure!) and added a few details like the glossy accents on the pill bottle.

To get the shine but not the dimension using Glossy Accents I very carefully used my finger to spread it across the paper, using strokes in the same direction otherwise it would have shown. Then on the pills I used the Glossy Accents again along with a white gel pen. Simple, but the added gloss also goes with the printed polka dot paper I used.

I hope this inspired you to think outside the box a little. I thought these pills were so great and really wanted to use them, now I just need to get this in the mail!

Thanks again for visiting the blog today! 

Remember to come back for DAILY inspiration!

See ya soon!

PPPR Get Well Blog Hop and NEW Monthly Challenge!!!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I'm so excited that you are joining us for our Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Get Well Blog Hop!  The PPPR Design Team has created lots of fun Get Well projects using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.  The best part about this hop is that you get to join in by linking up your own Get Well project for our new monthly challenge.  YAY!  I'll tell you more about that later.

For my project, I created a cute little get well card.  Here it is:

I got this sweet little elephant from the PPPR Safari Love Cutting Files set.  I replaced her little hearts with a little medicine cup from the PPPR Doctor Visit Cutting Files set, and I placed the medicine bottle by her feet.  I created the card base with a shape from the PPPR Layered Labels 1 Cutting Files set, and I filled it with patterns from the PPPR Spring Fling Polka Dots and Spring Fling Stripes Digital Paper Packs.  I stamped a sentiment from Pink by Design's Get Well Stamp Set on a label from the PPPR Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting Files set.  Finally, I added some ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and some doodle marks, and my little shaped card was all done!  :)

Now, how about some BLOG CANDY???

What's New Wednesday #35

Happy Hump Day, everyone!  I've added a few new sets to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Store this week, so I wanted to show them to you.  All of these sets are doctor related, so they are perfect for get well cards or scrapbook layouts of first check ups or boo boos. Each of these sets are available as Cutting Files or Digital Clip Art.  You can click on the photos to see these items in the store.

I'm giving away one of each of these sets right now.  To enter, head on over to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Facebook Page, find my 3 posts about these sets, share the posts and leave me a comment on FB telling me you did.  Be sure to leave your comments on the FB posts...that's where I'll be finding my winners. :)

I'll be back on Friday with a project, a Guest Designer, and a new Friday Freebie for you.  See you then!

Pink by Design Sneak Peek!!!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I'm super excited about the upcoming March Release of Pink by Design stamps next Friday.  A few stamp sets I've designed are coming out, and there are several more that I just MUST have.  Here's a sneak peek of one of the stamp sets I designed:

This card was super easy to do.  I stamped the bandages and hearts on patterned paper and cut them out, then adhered them to the turquoise patterned paper with foam dots.  Then, I added that to a white card base and stamped my sentiment at the bottom.  All of the stamps...the bandage, heart, and sentiment...come from a new stamp set that will be released on March 15.  You don't want to miss this release.  There are TONS of fun stamps coming out!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back on Monday with another project for you.  Have a great Saturday!

Isn't this layout just so ADORABLE?  Melisa used the Sick Bug from the Get Well set, as well as last week's Feeling Icky Title freebie.

She used the Sick Whale file on this punny and fun shaped card.  It's WHALEY cute, huh? ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful weekend!  I'm off on a little mini-vacay to Paris this weekend, but I'll be back next week with some FABULOUS news!!!  I can't wait to share!

What's New Wednesday #4

Hey, everyone!  I have a new set in my Etsy Shop that I wanted to share with you.  Here it is:

Get Well Cutting Files (Digital Clip Art also available)

I'm still working on that super exciting project...I'm hoping it will be all done really soon! Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

Emotional Oranges

Happy Monday!  It's my day to post over at Pink by Design, and I have a cute little set of cards to share with you today.  Here they are:

These cards each measure 3.75 x 4.25 inches.  I got all of these oranges and sentiments  from the newest stamp set I designed for Pink by Design: Orange You Awesome.  I stamped the oranges on different patterned papers and gave them different faces.  That way, they would match the sentiments I used.  I created the background by stamping one of the PBD Big Hexagon Stamps in different colors on white paper.  Then, I cut them out and arranged them on kraft cardstock.  I matted that on black cardstock, then layered it on a card made from kraft cardstock.  I stamped the sentiments on labels I cut out using my Spellbinders Shapeabilities  Ribbon Tag Trio Three.  

To add a little more fun, I put each of the oranges on an Action Wobble.  I inked up all the edges I could with black ink, added some ribbon, and my little cards were all done! :)

By the way, did you see all of the new stamps Pink by Design released this weekend?  If not, you should definitely go check them out HERE.  Such great sets!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful Monday! :)
