Pen and Paperie: Paige Sugar & Spice

That’s kind of pretty

I’m sharing another card made with a Stamp AnnieThing image, this time Giselle For a Lil’ Princess.

This card is going to the sister of my other princess card, a Little Miss who loves pink and purple and has lovely curls like Giselle. My card design follows the sketch for challenge #265 at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday, which I’ve just got in under the wire with. They have an optional Spring is here theme with the sketch so I used a ribbon with butterflies for the thin rectangular element and added a butterfly die cut for an embellie.

I added in the circle elements with some stitched dies as the current challenge at Simply Create Too is stitching. I didn’t have any stitched square dies so I added in some stitching around the image with a Spica pen, which I think frames Giselle nicely. Although my drawn stitches are about as even as my sewn ones!

Crafty Friends are looking for projects for a child so I am also entering my card in their challenge.

I’ll touch every star in the sky

Sharing a card I made for my niece featuring the cute Paige Sugar & Spice from Stamp AnnieThing.

I’ve made up my card following the current sketch at Cheerful Sketches and gone green as that is my niece’s favourite colour. I swapped out the oval element for a rectangle as I had a die that fit round my image handy.

I’ve added some sparkle to the card with Spica pen on the dress accents and in the rather hard to see crown, which comes with Paige. I think Little Miss’s mum is going to find the princess image rather amusing as my niece is a bit of a rough and tumble kind of girl but Paige looks a lot like her.

Over at Crafty Time they are looking for projects for kids, which my card certainly is. It’s any goes at Bizzy Bec’s for their current challenge so I am also entering my card there.
