Our Guest Designer this month is Regina Mangum. You'll probably recognize Regina's work as winning many of our Friday Challenges! You can stop by Regina's blog, The Stampin' Bean, to see more of her beautiful artwork.
Here's some of our interview Regina, so you can learn a little more about her:
1. Tell us where you live.
"I am originally from Los Angeles, CA. We also lived for a time in the Midwest, and now make our home in New York City."
2. Tell us about your family.
"I am married to the funniest man I know and we have a little boy, who will turn three this Fall, and who is turning out to be just as funny as his Dad. He often appears in my card and scrapbooking projects."
3. Tell us how long you have been stamping.
"I've always enjoyed making my own greeting cards, but I became serious about stamping a little over a year ago."
Wow, just a little over a year? What a natural talent you are, Regina! Here's Regina's first project to share with us this week -- a gorgeous feminine birthday card:
Notes from Regina:
"For this floral and feminine birthday card, I wanted to accentuate the pretty script of the sentiment from Baroque Nested Frames & Occasions. First, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of cream card stock and set it aside. Next, I stamped the nested borders from the same set on pink card stock and used a sharp hobby blade to cut out the center and then cut around the larger, outer border. Using foam tape I popped this over the sentiment to frame it. I added some paper flowers, adhering buttons, and added an elegant stitched satin and pearl accents. Finally, I sponged ink over designer paper to match and assembled the card."
So gorgeous and feminine, Regina --love the cutout frame! We hope you'll join us tomorrow for Regina's second project -- a very opposite masculine themed card!
