you deserve the royal treatment

Hello everyone! How's everyone's summer going so far? I hope it's fantastic! Anywhoo, it's time for another Made Especially for You challenge! This week we are creating easel cards! I'm not sure why I don't do them more often, they're so fun!  If you want to join in, but don't know how to make easel cards, check out this tutorial HERE from SplitcoastStampers! Again, so easy and fun! 

The crown and presents are from Celebrations cartridge.This cartridge is an oldie, but a goodie! 

Above: Here's the card flat/closed. 

Below: Viola! You open it! 

 The sentiment is from The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Sayings. I inked around the pink pattern paper with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress ink. 

I don't know about you, but I have so much bling that I don't use! I think it is because I bought the one that isn't self adhesive so it takes a little more work to use lol 

Don't forget to show us your wonderful easel cards HERE for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to Paper Piecings by Nikki, courtesy of Paper Piecings by Nikki. 

In case you missed it, SplitcoastStampers has a tutorial HERE showing you how to make easel cards!

Thank you for stopping by!

It's the Princess' Day!

Today at Made Especially for You we have a super simple challenge. All you have to do is just use three brads! 

This darling princess is from Once Upon a Princess cartridge.  

 Her face is from Peachy Keen's Princess Face assortment. The sentiment is from The Scrapbooking Queen's The Princess Birthday - heat embossed with white embossing powder. 

The three brads I used: crown, wand, and heart. :) 

Make sure to join us here for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Scraptastical Kreations!

Thank you for looking!
