Beautiful ♥ Sweet by Petra

I have a real passion for the Mooch paper line and the big pink circle inspired my to do some small circles using mist. I also cut out a smaller half circle from the mooch paper and used at the edge of the paper.


I cut out some flowers from the happy everything paper but I wanted some more variations in color (one of the flowers was all deep pink) so I used a white pen to color parts of the flower - to make it look more like the other flowers. I then smothed the white with my finger tip until I had the effect I was serching for. I mounted the flowers on 3D foam.



I cut the title form a Happy Everything paper.

A card and some ATC by Petra

Today I am showing a card and some ATC cards using Urban Lily ATC catds and urban cuts.

The card has a Urban Cuts tag with a Congrats greeting. I used machine stitching to close the card so that the tag wouldn't fall out.

Brightening Your Day

Hi Everyone, Erika Taylor here today sharing with you a project that I just adore.  Usually I am creating cards and altered art, but today I've got a layout first. I so love the colors in the Mayella Collection and I know I've mentioned it before. The bright colors are truly so versatile and I love mixing them with other Urban Lily Goodness.

This layout pairs the Mayella Collection with some Mooch Collection, Blink Collection and Sugary Collection too. Did I mention Happy Everything??? Urban Lily collections are made for mixing and matching.

Here is a little close up for ya. I've used Helmar Adhesives for the layout, including Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar Liquid Scrapdots and Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. Love those Helmar Adhesives.

I added a little distress stickles on the Mayella stripe paper. Gotta have at least a little bling on every project right? I cut the "2" from the Number Urban Cut Collection and knew that the number would speak volumes. No journaling on this layout hehe.

Try really mixing and matching your Urban Lily collections. They are work so well together. So whatcha think?

I also want to quickly let you know that I have a HUGE Blogiversary candy going on right now on my personal blog and there is some Urban Lily goodness in the mix. So stop on by and say hello.

Until Next Time

Beautiful

There are so many elements of the Urban Lily papers that I just have to cut out. They make the prettiest of combinations and I so love all the swirls. Today I've got an over sized card to share with you that I created using a few different Urban Lily paper collections

First off, some Mayella Impish. This stripe is one of my favorites, so versatile and cheery. I then cut out the frame from the Mayella Bliss. I colored it with copices and added some stickles and rhinestones after I'd masked and sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The sage colored fourishes are cut from the Mayella Pure papers. The Beautiful sentiment, from the Happy Everything Beautiful papers, and finally that butterfly... My favorite image in all of the Urban Lily collections, cut from the Mayella Bliss paper.

I absolutely love how this one turned out and I hope that I've given you some ideas on how to use these wonderful Urban Lily papers.Don't be afraid to cut them up and use what sings to you. Your end result might surprise you. Simple beautiful especially when you pair it up with Helmar Adhesives!


Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you have a fantastic rest of your week

Fresh

The colors and patterns on the Urban Lily papers are so fresh and sweet that I had to use them to scrap a picture of myself out picking strawberries this past spring. I love going out to pick fresh fruits and vegetables. We grow our own garden and make trips to farms for things like strawberries, blueberries, apples, and pumpkins! In fact, with October right around the corner, I'm very excited for pumpkin picking! It was wonderful reliving the memories of strawberry picking with my family while I put this page together

The reds of the Urban Lily Lulu paper from the lulliloo line were perfect for the strawberries. I matched that up with circles from Hyperactive in the mooch collection and the beautiful sweet phrase from the Beautiful paper in the Happy everything collection. The title was created using the wonderful Urban Cut alphabet and I framed the picture and my journaling with one of the secret keeper windows. (Shh, don't tell, but those secret keeper windows are still my favorite Urban Lily item!) As usual, the entire page is held together with the super awesome Helmar adhesives.

It's raining outside here, now, and I hope when it stops the world feels fresh and crisp and ready for fall. Rachel

What do I Believe In?

How are you all today? Hope you are all back in the "school groove" and enjoying a little of the first days of fall. Today I've got a few projects to share with you and I hope that you love em.

First off some wrapped chipboard with some great Urban Lily papers. For this card I used the Impish papers from the Mayella Collection. I cut them into odd length strips and adhered them directly to the cardstock. The leaf is cut from the Bliss paper, which is also from the Mayella Collection. And finally a little butterfly cut from the Celebrate papers from the Happy Everything collection

Next a card using papers from the Sugary Collection. I used the Honey, Midsummer and Breeze papers. The chipboard circle is from the Answer it Chipboard pack.
I just love the color combinations in all of the collections. Such wonderful hues and colors that I wouldn't think to put together. Yummo!!!

Urban Lily papers are wonderful to work with. I love how all of the collections can me mixed and matched up to create some amazing looks. I believe you will love them too. Take a gander over at Scrap-tastic for you Urban Lily needs.

Until Next Time

Hiya Everyone

Well as you see by the post below, there is a new sheriff in town!!!

Hi Everyone I'm Erika, and I'm over the flippin MOON to be a part of the Urban Swank design team. When I talked with Becky, I knew I'd love it here and I so hope to give you all inspiration and a laugh or two along the way.

Today I've got a project to share with you that uses the Happy Everything and Mayella Collections from Urban Lily. If you love fussy cutting even half as much as I do, you NEED to grab some of these papers. (just stop here to add some to your cart).

I'm a scissor lover, it is true. Anything that can create more movement on a project, gets cut and glued using the Liquid Scrap Dots from Helmar. So without further adieu, here is my very first Urban Swank. I hope you love it.

I added a bit of stickles to the Answer It chipboard piece to give it a little punch and then went crazy with the stickles around the edges. I'll tell ya, I'm a magpie; If it is Shiny it is MINEY!!!!


Well, that is all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me some Urban Swank Love. Come on now, make this girl feel at home!!!!
