My Favorite Things Teaser Time - Pure Innocence

Hello my darling friends!!  Are you getting as excited as I am for Release Night???  I cannot WAIT!! This has been an outstanding week and today is no exception.  Today there are six...yes I said SIX Pure Innocence sets being shown today!  So amazing!  I am previewing Paper Dolls.  It is oh so crazy sweet.  I am also going to show you a bit of a teaser project that I will give you full instructions for in tomorrow's Die-namics Preview. 

But first up is my creation using PI - Paper Dolls as well as it's FANTABULOUS coordinating Die-namics Border Die! (talk about SWOON??!??!!?)

I started by stamping her onto Xpress white cardstock.  I paper pieced her adorable jumper using Basic Grey - Oxford paper.  I used MME paper for the paper dolls in her hands which were also pieced.  Her shoes are glazed up with Glossy Accents. 

As you can see, I used the Paper Dolls Border Die-Namics (this would also be AMAZING for scrapbooking!!) to create a fantastically textured background.  I pulled most of the colors out of her little jumper to embellish and make the plaid really pop.  I used the new Monogram Alphabet (love love LOVE)...it's another that you'll need on your list, to create a large XO sentiment panel on the top left in addition to my chunky, "chipboard-esque" Bracket Tab Die-namic sentiment holder.  (I will share a super fast tip on how to create this tomorrow!)

I did a bit of stitching, added perfectly placed decorative stick pins and two vintage buttons threaded with twine (never, ever any naked buttons!!) in the lower right corner.  And once again, I was happy.  

For my interior, I used the newly released last month's Mix and Match Banner Die-namics as well as the new Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namic.  I added a few brads to anchor the banners and some super wonky stitching to jazz it all up a bit.  I used another sentiment from the PI - Paper Dolls set to finish off the interior. 

I do have one other CRAZY, FABULOUS, FUN and SCRUMPTIOUS thing to show you today.  It's a tiny gift of love to my daughter.  She's a lover of all things sweet and yummy...especially when they are in stuffed style!  And by that I mean "stuffed animal style"!   She loves stuffed cupcakes, candies, and fruits and has quite a collection on her dresser.  So - without further ado - using this month's new to be released Berry Box Die-namics I've made another soft bobble to add to her collection.

The seeds are hand stitched.  The lines on the green hull are stitched with my sewing machine.  I will be showing how I created this out of luscious felt tomorrow in the Die-namics Focus but I wanted to show you just how sweet it is and tell you that it is the perfect vessel to use if you were to give candies or tiny embellishments or small groupings of rolled up ribbon as a gift.  Crazy sweet!!  But - more on that tomorrow  when I'll have two different fun things to show you during the Pre-Release Pep Rally and Die-namics Focus!

I want to thank you all SO much for popping by today to check out my creations!  I can't thank you enough for all of your amazingly sweet and kind comments you've left me during this entire Teaser Time.  I am humbled and honored.
