Happy Birthday!

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today's card share is made using the sketch this week at 

Freshly Made Sketches:

 

I am again using the amazing Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Happy Birthday To You.

I love this set and the pretty flowers.

I stamped the image onto thick whisper white with black stazon.

I colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

 

I stamped the image again onto some scrap thick whisper white and colored and then fussy cut out to pop up over the the bottom ones.

I die cut the cake image out with a large Circle die.

The base of my card is a 5 inch by 10 inch piece of thick whisper white, scored and folded in half.

The DSP on here is from the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper pack.

The sentiment is from the Little Ladybug stamp set.

I stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder on Basic Black card stock.

 

I finished my card with a few gems from the From My Heart Faceted Gems pack.

Hello Peeps!!!!

Today's card share uses the challenge at Fab Friday.

This time it is a Fab Sketch:

This one was a bit tricky but I finally go a bit of inspiration.

I made my hearts using some watercolor paper and red reinker.

I wet the watercolor paper with a paint brush and then brushed the ink over the paper.

I let it flow and then dried it with my heat tool.

I spattered some drops of water over the dried paper and then dabbed it off to achieve the

water spots.

 

I used the Heart Punch and punched out three hearts from the watercolored paper.

I die cut the words using black card stock and the dies from the Well Written Dies.

I die cut three of each word so I could layer them up.

I mounted the hearts onto a piece of white card stock, that I had embossed with the

Coastal Weave EF, with dimensionals.

The words were then glued on next to the hearts. 

 

I added a few gems from the From My Heart Faceted Gems and a little white twine bow.

You Mean So Much To Me

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Over at the The Paper Players, they have a fun sketch challenge:

My go to color when coloring flowers seems to almost always be some shade of pink, so I decided

I need to switch things up a bit.

So for this card I pulled out a pallet of purples.

I used Purple Posy for my card base and Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape for my flowers.

 

The flowers are from the Stampin Up Sale A Bration set called Happy Birthday To You.

I stamped the cake image several times with black stazon onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I used some Daffodil Delight in the center of the flowers and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

I then fussy cut out all the flower images I needed for my card front.

I used two Rectangle Stitched Dies to make my white frame that I added to the Purple Posy card base with dimensionals.

I hen added my flowers to the card with dimensionals as well.

My sentiment comes from the Forever Blossoms stamp set.

I stamped with Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock.

 

I finished with a few rhinestones from the Noble Peacock pack and then added a small twine wrap with a bow around the side of the white frame.

 I pulled this twine from a piece of Burlap ribbon.

Poppy Calendars

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

I have been busy working on some calendars for a few of my 

friends and customers. I am a 

bit behind in getting them done but they will be in the mail soon.

On these I used the Poppy Moments Dies for my flowers and leaves.

Aren't they so pretty? 

They are so easy to make with these dies, I used Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral,

Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Basic Black card stock.

 

This one has a base of Poppy Parade card stock 

and a layer of the beautiful Peaceful Poppies DSP.

 

This one I used Crumb Cake for the base and then another layer of Crumb Cake that I

embossed with the Coastal Weave EF.

The sentiment on both is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.

I stamped with Poppy Parade ink.

Here is a side view to show how the calendar base is done.

These work up fast and are so fun to make!!

 

The calendars were gifted to me from a sweet friend. 

I have made several of these and have a few more to show you soon.

Tulip Happy Birthday

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is one I made last week when I was getting back in the groove.

I do like how it came out. 

I love the new Timeless Tulips stamp set with it's matching punch.

I used a couple of challenges while making this card, first for the colors I used he challenge at the Paper Players, but it ran out before I could post.

 I also used the Fusion Card Challenge:

I choose to just use the sketch.

My DSP on here is the Golden Honey Specialty paper from the

 SAB catalog.

 

I stamped my tulips using Poppy Parade and Rich Razzleberry. 

The leaves and stems are stamped with Old Olive

I used he Coastal Weave Embossing Folder on here as well. I am

obsessing over this pretty Embossing Folder, it is so pretty!

My sentiment is Peaceful Moments stamp set and the die cut it is

embossed with white on is from the Painted Labels Dies.

 

I finished the card out with a double bow made with the new Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon and a few little rhinestones from the From My Heart Faceted Gems.

Thank You

 

Hello Peeps!!!

So sorry for the long silence here on the ol' blog.

I have had a hard time getting back to my craft table after the holidays.

 I could give you a million and one reasons but in the end I guess I just needed the break.

Anyway I pulled out this amazing set from the Occasions catalog called Forever Blossoms.

It is so pretty, don't you think?

I also am using the sketch at  

Freshly Made Sketches:

I began by stamping the image onto thick Whisper White card stock with Black Stazon ink.

I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I used Poppy Parade and Old Olive inks.

 I used the matching dies to cut it out.

 

A couple of other new iems on this card are the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder.

I love it!

I hand cut the partial circle and then embossed. I matted that piece with some Basic Black card stock.

The sentiment on here is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

I samped with Versamark onto Basic Black and embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I cu out the strip and used the Tailored Tag punch to flag the end.

The floral cut out piece is added to the card with dimensionals 

and the sentiment strip is tucked under the stem of the flower.

I went back in with my white gel pen and highlighted the centers of the flowers a bit.

 

I added a few basic rhinestones and some white twine wrapped around my sentiment strip and added a small bow as well.

isted below are all the "ingredients" used to make this project.
