TLC322....thinking of you

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the Splitcoast Technique Lovers Challenge . This week the challenge is to stamp in the die.  All you have to do is stamp your image using a background stamp or any other large image that will cover the whole die so the unstamped edge under the die creates the frame. ....easy peasy!!!

My base is a 5 inch by 10 inch piece of Blushing Bride card stock, folded in half. I followed that up with some crumb cake and then the DSP is from the Paisley Patterns paper pack. I then put this layer through my big shot using an extra large EF. The main image piece was easy, I used a round nestabilities and very vanilla card stock. I left the die in place and stamped my french script BG stamp onto the card stock, while the die was still in place i sponged around the edges with crumb cake ink. I stamped the flower branch from the Easter Blossom stamp set with timber brown stazon ink . I then used my aqua painter to color in the flowers with some blushing bride ink. I matted this piece with a scallop circle of crumb cake card stock. I used some crumb cake and very vanilla seam binding ribbon to make my bow.

I added the small layered butterflies in the top of the circle to cover a smudge. I then added the sentiment piece and an antique brad. I put two small basic pearls in the center of the butterfly and in the upper right corner.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Totally Totes

Happy Hump Day Peeps!

Today I am sharing a fun little treat holder that I made using the Technique Challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

I have seen these purses around for several years and always thought they were so cute but I had never made one. Don't know why I waited, they are so fun to make and super easy! Just print the pattern directly out on the card stock and follow the directions to make. Easy Peasy! What surprised me about these are that they are so small, you know how when you see a picture and you can't really tell the size?

I used some basic gray card stock for my tote. The designer paper is from the Lap of Luxury paper pack. The little bunny is from the Stampin' Up set The Nicest Things. I stamped it with black stazon onto some watercolor paper. I colored it with my aqua painter and ink pads. I used the wide oval punch to punch it out and to punch the mat. I added some silver brads fro accents and some pretty in pink sating ribbon.

I filled this with some yummy chocolate carrots for my daughter.

Well, that is all from me today thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!!

TLC315......Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday Peeps!

Yesterday the Technique Challenge on Splitcoast was to make an ODD shaped card, anything besides the usual square or rectangle card. I immediately thought about the cupcake card I made last November, you can see it HERE. so I decide to make another for this challenge. I used white for my base and then used some rose red that I crimped for the cupcake base/liner. The top of the cupcake is some yummy pumpkin pie DSP from the Sweet & Sour paper pack. I used the Bigz L die, Fun Flowers, from the Occasions Mini, to make the flowers for the topper. I cut one out of rose red, sponged and embossed it, then added another layer cut with the same die out of some of the DSP. I put a jumbo silver brad in the middle and added it to the cupcake with some dimensionals. I added some yummy pumpkin pie satin ribbon around the bottom and tied a pretty bow. This wonderful satin ribbon is so pretty and ties beautiful bows. I then stamped the Happy Birthday from the Something to Celebrate stamp set onto some very vanilla card stock and cut and curled the flag. I tucked it into the flower and attached with a bit of glue.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!
