Little Ballerina!
Yes another card with my pretty Ballerina stamp. Can you tell I love her? Plus it is the end of Dance season, so I it is a great time to ink her up.
You may remember the Ballerina frame, I made for Amber’s dance teacher. Well, this is the card that will accompany the frame when I give it to her, along with the stamp and sentiment.
Toe Shoes
I really fell in love with this card! I know it seems fairly simple, but so sweet, to me at the same time.
I was inspired by toe shoes, with that perfect satin ribbon, and how it laces, then ties. I wanted to re-create that here.
The pink is sweet blush cardstock from PTI, as is the satin ribbon. It is the PERFECT pink for a ballerina. I didn’t want a contrasting color for my ballerina layer, so I just used the same cardstock-and of course, popped it up with dimensionals.
I love the music note’s bkgd (not sure who makes that-sorry :C it is the same one in my Elvis card from yesterday) stamped lightly on the blush cardstock. Its so soft and subtle, stamped at an angle on 3/4 of the pink layer. I’m on a kick with bkgd stamps at an angle I guess.
Her little tutu just sparkles with glitter. She is just perfect!
There is a pair of ballet shoes lightly stamped behind the sentiment. They are from a Girly Girl tin from Paper Salon.
I get many questions on what I use to color-I ALWAYS use my Copic marker’s! It is RARE that I don’t! Sorry I never keep track of what I use either-I own them all, and sort them by color groups, not the sets they came in-Skin tones, pinks, reds and so on.
My best advice is start with Set A and move on from there. I really would wait till you can afford some sort of “set” and start with the skin tones and colorless blender.
Well that is all for today. Tomorrow I have a challenge card to post 😀 using Pink Cat stuff 😀 So stay tuned.
Noah’s Super Boy party gift using the Billy set was a HUGE hit 😀 I have to say I had a HARD time handing it over! LOL! I don’t know why I have a hard time giving that stuff away! That is the entire POINT isn’t it? It would just collect dust here anyway. Maybe it the thought it will get trashed?!! I really hope they re-gift the bag 😀
Alrighty-I’m off. I really hope to stamp today! I got my new LAD sets in the mail! YEAH!!! Loving the new flower set-Le Jardin-it is a “sister set” to my favorite Jolies Fleurs. I know many of you emailed me your requests to see certain sets, so I will do my best to get some eye candy for you.
Lets cross our fingers I get to stamp. You too!!

Such a beautiful card Lauren!! I just got my Pink Cat stamps, so I can’t wait to see your card tomorrow:-)Kelly
OOOO, I love the ribbon. The way you tied it is so pefect for the card. Using the same colors on this card looks fantastic. I would never think to do that, well now I would! 🙂 -Molly B
You are amazing!!! The ribbon is so amazing!! The card is so beautiful!! You make my jaw drop everytime! 🙂
This card ireally is so cute Lauren. The way you did the ribbon is really neat! You just never let us down; thanks!
I love how you did the ribbon – it’s the first thing that caught my eye! Now I’m sitting here wondering exactly how you did it. I always have the hardest time crossing my ribbon or cording.
Glad the Billy set was a huge success. I would have had a hard time letting go too.
Looking forward to seeing your LAD creations! Crossing my fingers for time to stamp today too!
Hugs! ♥
What a beautiful card! I love reading your blog to see what you are going to do next and you never disappoint!!! 🙂 I’m looking forward to the Cat’s Pajamas stuff you have coming up – I think I “need” the new set!
This is beautiful, Lauren! Such a sweet, soft pink delight!
Totally adorable! I love how you did the ribbon and all your little touches…the toe shoes in the background, the sheet music, her sparkley tutu and the list goes on! You do such beautiful work, I can see why Pink Cat Studios asked you to join!!
Adorable Lauren! Love the sparkle of her tutu! What a fabulous addition this will be to the frame…fabulous set!
So sweet Lauren! Makes me wish I had a Ballerina in my life so that I had a good excuse to get that stamp set!
Many Blessings,
M.
How stinking sweet is that? I LOVE it. I think you really need to do a tutorial on the ribbon idea. That is amazing!

Lauren,
This is precious, your daughters dance teacher will love it! The way you added the pink ribbon and the glitter on the ballerina is so pretty!
I just LOVE how you tied that ribbon around the card, so classy, just like ballet! 🙂
(I’ve got some LAD on my wishlist too….;-))
AWESOME! BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE IT! That dance teacher is going to be ecstatic when she gets the gifts you have made!!! Wow, I love how you did the ribbon, just genius! You are amazing…I can’t say it enough!! 😀
I love what you did with the ribbon!!!! Very cute card.
Love the ballerina card! Pink is just tuu-tuu wonderful! lol The paper and ribbon are awesome! Have fun stamping today!
This card is brilliant! Love the pink satin ribbon – that’s just the perfect finishing touch! Good grief, you could frame this . . .
Thanks for the lovely card. I do love it. Back too long ago to mention, I was a ballerina and wish I would have kept up with it. I love ballet.
I know what you mean about handing that stuff over. I hate to see anything like that thrown away. I keep EVERY card that was handmade and given to me or my boys. I just can’t seem to throw it away.
I received my Billy set yesterday. I was so excited to finally have it in my little hands. I can’t wait to ink them up and trying my hardest to find something to make with it. Oh well, I think I am just going to have to make a card and save it for something.
Your Little Ballerina Card is so Sweet!!
This goes so perfect with your frame!
I Love how you laced your Satin Ribbon!!

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, I’m speechless because this card is beyond any beautiful superlative I can come up with!!! TFS.
You make the pretties bows! I’m jealous!!!
precious Lauren…and I love the way you did the ribbon…I’ll have to try that sometimes 🙂
Stunning card, all the elements come together perfectly, your very talented. I’m loving the angled background stamping & I would never have used the same card for the mount, may have to try that one out it looks very elegant! Also I want to say thank you for finding the time to visit my blog and leave lovely comments. I really don’t know how you do it! Your great!
Just too sweet, love the lacing of the ribbon and the bow! Sweet image and love the added sparkle! The sentiment over the shoes is so neat!
This is so petty, love how you did the ribbon, such a girly card.
What a beautiful card!! If I were Amber’s ballet instructor, I’d frame it along with the framed picture of Amber’s classmates. I don’t have a little ballerina anymore, or even a grand-daughter yet. But, I’m still thinking of buying the set and just saving it for hopefully future use. What true genius trying the ribbon like it is on a toe shoe. And pink just seems the perfect color for a ballerina. Everything on the card was perfect! I just love receiving your creations every day, it really is a great addition to my day. Apparently my e-mail was one of those that got lost, just wanted to tell you that I did find the Wedding Confetti at Michaels. Can’t wait to play. Enjoy your weekend and may you accomplish all that your wishing to do.

Awesome job. I love that ballerina!
You have to give a Photo tutorial on how you tied that bow girl. Seriously!!!!! It is simply stunning. Just ordered the stamp for my little 4 year old ballerina. Couldn’t resist this time.
I love this card! The way you used the ribbon to resemble the ties on the shoes is perfect! Great card!
