i {heart} gingham

Eeek!  Somebody pinch me!

I was invited to guest design with Kate and her crew at i{heart} papers  

for the whole month of June!!

To kick things off, I made a fun and playful CAS card.

The Gingham Challenge at Moxie Fab World looked like so much fun 

that I just had to play along.

Was I also inspired by Cath's darling blog header?  Probably just a tad *wink*

How fun are these glasses?  I'm seriously on the hunt for gingham readers now!

The sweet gingham papers are from 2 different 6 x 6 pads- Echo Parks A Boys Life and Simple Stories Fabulous.  I love 6 x 6 pads because the patterns are smaller than 12 x 12 papers which works so well in card making.

What would be gingham glasses be without bling, right?  Aquamarine and Clear added the perfect pops of sparkly color.

Now when I was creating these fun glasses, which by the way are from an Ellison die that was in the workroom at my local stamp store, I kept saying 

"oh my gosh I want these for reals!!"  So imagine my delight when I came across the perfect sentiment in the Cheep Talk set from Market Street Stamps! 

It just doesn't get any better than that!  

The stamps, papers and bling that I used for this card are all available at i{heart} papers!!  

I'll be back tomorrow with another post using a stamp set from i{heart} papers in two 

very different ways.

(pssst....there might be gingham in that post too! *hehehe*)
