I can even begin to tell you how much I love this suite of stamps, dies and accessories.

It is gorgeous and the dies are amazing!

I used the challenge this week at The Paper Players

embossed a layer of thick Whisper White with  Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.

I stamped the floral image with Black Stazon and water colored using my Aqua Painter.

Basic Black with white embossing powder.

Fall Pumpkin Set

Hello Peeps!!!

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

I have been enjoying several days off work due to escorting Hubby to some

doctors appointments and to attend Grandparent's Day

at my Granddaughter's Preschool.

This was our first ever Grandparent's Day and oh man, I have to say it was sooo

much fun!!

We had a blast watching the little's sing a couple of songs they 

learned for us and show us around their classroom.

Anyway I  had an idea to make a pumpkin with Sunflowers, much like the 

floral arrangements that are popular this time of the year.

And when I made my first, I liked it so much I made a few more. 😆

I stamped my pumpkins, from the Harvest Hello set and my "Sunflowers" from

the Daisy Lane set, on thick whisper white with Black Stazon and

colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I fussy cut out the Sunflowers and stems, the Pumpkin is Punched out with it's matching punch from the Harvest Hello Bundle.

 

This is the first one I made, I used Early Espresso for my base and the DSP is from the Come To

Gather paper pack.

Each Pumpkin and Sunflower is set on a Die Cut from the Nested Stitched Labels Dies.

 

Each card has a few similarities and a few differences.

Each has a different sentiment, from The Gather Together set, the Seasonal Wreath set and the 

To Every Season stamp set. 

 

I used the Birch Background stamp for this one and the Buffalo Check Background

for two of the others.

I also used the Corrugated and Subtle Embossing Folders.

 

I finished each card with a linen bow on the pumpkin and a few sticky back gold sequins that are from this month's Paper Pumpkin kit.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

Happy Thursday Peeps!! 

Today's card hare is made using the pretty Country Home stamp set and the

new Gather Together set (pumpkins).

I stamped all the images on thick Whisper White with

black stazon ink.

I colored wih my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I fussy cut these all out and added them to my

white rectangle piece.

I cut the rectangle out with my Stitched Rectangle dies and then

embossed it using the Subtle EF.

 

The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss card stock.

I followed that with a layer of whisper white card stock.

Next another layer of Blackberry Bliss is embossed with the Tin Tile EF.

I used three pieces of linen thread to wrap around the card and tie a

pretty bow.

 

I added the image panel to he card with dimensionals and finished with 

a few crumb cake sticky back sequins from the Basic pack.

These two are made with Flirty Flamingo and Seaside Spray.

 

I started with a base of Thick Whisper White card stock.

I then used another layer of Whisper White and embossed it with the 

Corrugated EF.

I used two of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and created a frame using Flirty Flamingo card stock.

I used a piece of DSP from  the 6x6 Brights pack to put inside the frame.

The "frame" piece is added to the corrugated piece with dimensionals

I die cut an oval using the largest oval in the Stitched Shapes Dies.

I stamped the flowers using Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz inks.

The oval is added using dimensionals.

I added pink rhinestones from the Noble Peacock rhinestones.

 

The one using Seaside Spray is made the same way as the Flirty Flamingo card.

The sentiments are stamped with Black Memento ink.

I took the weekend off to spend some time with my grands!

It was my youngest grand daughter's 1st birthday...we

had a blast! 

It was hot but so fun spending time with them.

I am back now with a set of thank you cards using the Inspiring Iris stamp set.

I used Poppy Parade and Mango Melody.

 

I used Poppy Parade for the base on the one pictured above.

I followed with a piece of Whisper White

that I embossed with the Basket Weave EF.

I added a piece of Poppy Parade Gingham DSP from the Brights 6x6 package.

I then die cut a strip of Poppy Parade with a edge die from the 

Magnolia Memory Dies. I die cut the largest circle from the Stitched 

Shaped Dies for my floral image.

I stamped the Carnation flower wih Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz inks.

The "thanks" is stamped with Black Memento ink.

 

This one is made the exact same way but uses Mango Melody card stock and ink.

I finished them both with a few Rhinestones and a twine wrap with a bow.

Happy Tuesday Peeps!

Time for a new challenge over at SUO Challenges.

This time we have a great sketch.

I decided to use he pretty Inspiring Iris again and one of my 

favorite colors, Highland Heather.

I stamped the image using Highland Heather and Pear Pizzaz.

My sentiment is from the same set and is stamped with 

Black Memento ink.

 

I used three different embossing folders for my 

background strips. I used the  Tufted, Basket  Weave and he Country Floral 

embossing folders.

My card is a 4-1/2 inch square. The base is Highland Heather and 

then a layer of whisper white followed by

my embossed strips.

 

I finished it with a white twine bow and a few basic rhinestones. 

Have I convinced you that you NEED this set yet? LOL!

Beautiful Friendship Cards

Happy 4th Peeps!!

Today I am sharing 4 cards I made using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

This set is so pretty and makes some

really nice cards fast and easy.

I made these four CAS cards in less than an hour.

I used Calypso Coral for my first one:

 

I also used Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz inks on this one.

The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.

Next up I used Flirty Flamingo:

 

This one also used Daffodil Delight but I used Granny Apple Green for the leaves 

on this one.

The sentiment is from the retired Lasting Lily stamp set.

Next I decided to use colored card bases.

This one is Highland Heather:

 

I added a tilted panel to these two.

The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia set.

 

This color is one of the new incolors, Seaside Spray.

The sentiment on here is from the Piece of Cake stamp set.

 All four of these cards are very easy, clean and simple.

I did pop up with dimensionals all the image panels on each card.

I finished each card with rhinestones.

These are flat and easy mailable.

I like how they came out, how about you?

Which is your favorite?

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Beautiful Friendship Thanks

 

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

As promised, today's card share is one 

with no watercoloring involved.

This card uses the Beautiful Friendship stamp set along with two

of the new in colors.

I used Rococo Rose and Terracotta Tile along with Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

 

The base of my card is thick Whisper White.

I followed that up with a piece of DSP from the new incolor DSP pack in Terracotta.

I used a piece of Terracotta cardstock to matt the DSP.

I used the Detailed Band dies for my sentiment piece with Terracotta card stock.

I die cut the cener of the die with whisper white to use for my

stamped Thanks.

 

I finished with a few of the new incolor faceted dots.

Thanks for coming by!

If you would like any of the supplies I used to make my card they are linked below 

to my online store. I would love to have you order from me.

Magnolia Thanks

 

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today is my final card I made in my Good Morning Magnolia Series.

However, it will not be my final card with this

set, I just love it to much to not use it again.

I do have a couple of Simple cards coming up that is not waercolored

and may appeal to you if coloring is not your thing. :)

This card features the other flower in the set, the bud.

It is just as gorgeous and a lot easier to color.

Takes just a bit of color at the base and where the petals overlap each other

There is a die for this flower in the die set as well.

I tucked in a few pieces of dyed Mossy Meadow twine at the 

ends of the sentiment piece.

The base of my card is Crumb Cake cardstock.

I  used a piece of the DSP from the Magnolia Lane pack and

matted it with a piece of Whisper White.

I then used a strip of Crumb Cake and embossed it with the Basket Weave embossing folder

I matted that piece with more whisper white and added it to the base.

Next arranged my flower in the strip leaving room for my sentiment piece.

My sentiment is from the Magnolia set and I stamped it with Black Memento Ink

onto Whisper White.

I used a die from the Detailed Bands to die cut the 

sentiment. It was added to the card with 

dimensionals.

I die cut the viney type leaves with Mossy Meadow, they are dies in the Deatiled Bands die as well

and added around the flower buds.

I finished with a few rhinestones on this one a well.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Thanks

 

Hello Peeps!

Popping in here quickly to share a card.

I have been playing with the new Daisy Punch from Stampin Up.

I just love the size of this one. It comes in a bundle with the new Daisy Lane set, which I got, but

I have been obsessing with the punch and haven't used the

stamp set yet.

I I made my flowers with two flowers put together.

I curled them with my bone folder and then glued the to punched flowers together and added a 

perennial essence floral center to the middle.

 

The base of my card is thick whisper white card stock.

I then used a layer of Mossy Meadow.

My DSP is from the Perennial Essence pack.

I love that rich green.

I used Mossy Meadow for my Leaves, which are dies in the Magnolia Memory Dies pack.

I added a strip of white embosssed with the Basket Weave EF.

The sentiment die piece is from the Detailed Bands dies.

I used Mossy Meadow for that.

 

I finished up with a few rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
