It is the Weekend, Girls Weekend!

The kids are gone, the Hubby is on his way up north - so time for a girls weekend! Just me and my dogs....yeah I know, not a "real" girls weekend - but quiet that is for sure!

I used the stamp set "Girls Weekend" (of course) to create this fun invitation. Every year I do head north for a few days of fun with my friends. We go shopping, swim in the lake, fish, drink, eat, and eat, and EAT!

Do you have a "Girls Weekend" planned for this year?

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week. I want to say thank you to all who played in our last challenge. It was so much fun to see everyone's creations. Well today not only are you getting a challenge but a tutorial as well!

OK so for the details:

This challenge is ALL about Scallops.

This could be in the form of a border punch, die cuts, edges, stamped images, anything with a scallop. I used scallops on mine but I also used the faux silk technique. I used Girl's Weekend. This was one set I HAD to have. I still have girls night at my house and we do girls weekends. I could see so many things to use this set for.

The above picture is everything I used for my project. A scoring tool, tissue paper, the already pre-cut cardstock and of course mod podge.

I scored my cardstock. This card is a 5x5 card. One of my favorite size cards to make!!!!


Ink and stamp your images onto tissue paper, be sure to have something underneath (I prefer to stamp on some blank printer paper). The ink will bleed through the tissue paper. (If you use an outline image stamp in black and then color the image.)


Crumple the tissue up a few times, careful not to tear it. You can smooth it now or smooth it onto your image. You do not want to smooth to much as the “wrinkles” are what makes it look like silk.

Using a small sponge brush, apply mod podge over the entire surface of the neutral card stock. You may also use a glue stick but you will want to make sure the glue dries clear.


Carefully place your tissue over the top of your neutral cardstock and smooth down. You will want to expect a few bumps and wrinkles. That is OK! It makes it look like silk.

Allow to dry for a few minutes and then use scissors to trim off the excess tissue, or you can cut you new “silk” cardstock to size and finish your card.
My scallops was the punch! I was thinking about making the edge scalloped but though that would be overkill. Now that you've seen mine you know it could be as many scallops as you want or just a hint of scallops.

Girls Weekend

I used the super fun set Girls Weekend for these cards. I love the little beer can! It's so stinkin' cute. This can can be paper pieced to cover the word BEER and used for a soda can too.

This first card is what I call a man invitation. I cut the t-shirt with my Wishblade and if you can cut .gsd files I'll be happy to share the file with you for your personal use. Leave your file request in the comment section along with your e-mail address. (The detail on the t-shirt was made with my wishblade also using the pen tool) My husband's birthday is coming up and we're having some friends over to celebrate.

This card is the first card I made with this set and I just couldn't resist using liquid applique to make the beer foam. I put several phrases from the set together on one acrylic block and was able to stamp a background quickly. This is a fun congratulations card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Hello and Happy Monday!

Hello everyone! It's June 1st so that means you get to see some projects the other DT members and I have been working on. I'm Leigh Ann Baird (aka Annie) and I'm excited to be sharing my projects with you!

I want to share a quick party invitation with you today. I enjoy making my own party invitations, but even the simplest invitations can take forever to make. This card took very little time to put together but still makes an impact. I used Surprise Party and Girls Weekend on this card. Surprise Party is a great all purpose party set to have in your collection and can be used for any type of party.

The inside of your invitation can be easily arranged just the way you want it. It's easy to see where to place your stamp on the acrylic block so you can line them all up at once for quick production of your invitations. If you'll notice in the photo below, I left myself some room between Location and RSVP because I often need more room when writing my address. You can always stamp these one at a time and use multiple ink colors for a fun look--It's still really easy to get good placement because you can see where you're stamping.

Thanks for dropping by! I look forward to meeting you so drop me a comment and introduce yourself. Have a great day!

Leigh Ann
