Just a Note

 


Hello to all of my lovely crafty friends! I am up on the LDRS blog today and I have a vision of loveliness to show you. It's no secret to anyone who knows me that my favorite color is pink so it's a very common theme in my card making and in my life in general. Today's card is no different. 

To make this card I started out by painting some lovely pink ink in various shades on to some watercolor paper. I did the same thing with green inks and then yellow. The next step was to use the Perfect Petals Layering Dies to cut out the petals, leaves and center of the flower from the watercolor paper. I just love the all the different shades of color you get with watercolors. For the top layer of the center of the flower I used gold glitter paper for some extra added sparkle.

For the base of my card I cut out a panel of white card stock using the largest die from the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers. The detailed edging is so pretty from these dies.  Next, I decided to stretch my supplies and use the 
Modern Geometric Coverplate I as a stencil.  I used a very heavy weight card stock to cut out the Coverplate and then I placed it over the stitched layer panel and stenciled over it in a very light grey ink. I was able to achieve a soft look of texture without adding bulk to my card.

All that was left was to add a sentiment to my card and for that I used the Essentials Stack Stamps and Sentiment Stack Die. These stamps and dies make it so easy to cut out multiple sentiments to have on hand for all types of cards. Talk about making life easy!
Here is one more look at this floral beauty!


Thank you so much for visiting the blog today and letting me share my card and process with you!
Have a great day,
I already am!

Paper Sweeties March 2020 New Release Rewind





Welcome back to the New Release Rewind Party over at Paper Sweeties
This month the new stamp and die set is called Sorry and Sorry Sweet Cuts.
They are now available for purchase over in the Paper Sweeties shop.
Here is a look at both:



The tag I made today uses the  For You Sweet Cuts tag with the new Sorry stamps and 
Sorry Sweet Cuts matching dies.  That cute little band-aid looks so cute stamped on kraft paper and patterned paper, you can add a heart to the middle or sad faces. There are so many possibilities!

For today's post I also made a card using the new stamps and dies.


This colorful card also uses the new stamp set and dies but is a "Sorry" I missed your birthday card and I used the cute little cupcake stamp from the set. I chose some bright Doodlebug patterned paper and I love how it stands out against the kraft card stock.

Thanks for joining me today for our New Release Rewind Party. Today you can hop along with the design team for more inspiration using the new Sorry stamps and dies. Here's the lineup:

Celebrate With Cake



Good morning Rabbit Hole fans, I hope your day is off to a great start! Today I have a shiny birthday card to share with you featuring the elegant birthday cake from the Celebrate With Cake stamp set.




Card Recipe

1) I started off with a white card stock panel and I painted some loose pink watercolor stripes horizontally across the background.

2) I stamped the cake image and heart bows in Versamark embossing ink and then sprinkled both with silver embossing powder. I did the same thing with the "Celebrate" sentiment and then heated them both up until they were dry and shiny.

3) I matted the stamped panel on to a sheet of silver foil card stock and then both panels on to a pink card base.

4) To complete my card and add some extra bling I added pink sparkling jewels around my card.


Thanks so much for stopping by today!

A Cup of Patience


Well is Christmas Eve 2019 and here we are Coffee Lovers!
I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today with a cup of patience.




Let me explain why this is actually a cup of patience...

Many of you are scurrying around and getting ready to have 
company over or preparing yourselves to head out to family and friends.
Either way Christmas is a holiday filled with lots and lots and lots of people!!!
You know what that means......... some you love and some...... not so much......

Some of you will need extra patience today to deal with all the
personalities you will encounter today so this card is for you!

This card just looks like just another holiday coffee card but when you pull
out the tag from inside it reveals a super funny sentiment
perfect for those of you who need just a little chuckle today...



I laughed so hard when I saw this sentiment from the Hot Coffee stamp set 
from CAS-ual Fridays and I knew that it would
be the perfect stamp to use for this sometimes stressful season.

I started off with the new Coffee Gift Card Holder Die from My Creative Time
and instead of inserting a gift card I decided to add my sentiment on a tag
that you could pull out. I decorated the cup with some fun holiday
Doodlebug Christmas Town patterned paper to match the poinsettia flowers.
I just love these beautiful Layering Poinsettia dies from Hero Arts. I used some Festive Berries
Distress Oxide Ink for the flowers and Mowed Lawn for the leaves.
I die cut the center of the leaves out in gold foil cardstock.

Here is a closeup of the beautiful flowers:


Thank you so much for joining me on the morning of Christmas Eve 2019
for a little cup of patience. I hope this card and post put a smile on your face
and gives you a little boost of patience to face those friends and family
that require just a little more patience!
Happy Holidays and enjoy your day,
I already am!

National Coffee Day




Good morning Coffee Lovers and happy National Coffee Day!
For those of you who don't already know, today is National Coffee Day and why not? 
Every food and drink should have there own day right?


I am so excited to be a part of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers design team
because of fun collaborations like the one I have for you today!

Trinity stamps DT along with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers DT
have come together in a collaboration to bring you 
a super cute new coffee themed stamp set!

The name of the set is "Frappy Camper's Perking Spot"
Isn't that adorable? It's got the most adorable camper that can be all decked out as a
coffee shop on wheels! There is even a matching die set available here.
There are so many scenes that can be made with 
this set and the DT from Trinity and CLC have outdone themselves!
Here is a look at that awesome stamp set.



And take a look at the back of the packaging for this set:


Taniesa Vlasak, the owner of Trinity stamps was gracious enough to include everyone's name
on the back of the packaging who took part in brainstorming this new stamp set.
I'm not going to lie, it was pretty exciting to see my name included with all of those
talented card making designers!


And here is the card I made using the new stamps:



I started by stamping out all of the images from the set and coloring them with my Copic
markers.  I used my Scan n Cut to cut everything out. I cut out some green polka dot
patterned paper for the grass and gave it a scalloped border with the 
Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die and I gave it a wavy top border with the 
I really enjoyed putting this card together, I even placed a cup of coffee in 
the little boy and girl's hands. For a finishing touch I added some hand drawn 
birds around the clouds. Can you tell I'm not an artist LOL!


Today on the Trinity blog they will be showcasing this super cute stamp set and you can
see all of the amazing cards made by BOTH design teams!
Hop on over there because I overheard there will be a $20 gift certificate prize up for grabs!

This adorable set is now available in the Trinity stamps online store.
What combination will you make with this coffee inspired set?



Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you check out this stamp set over in
the Trinity shop and pick one up for yourself!
Until next time, Happy National Coffee Day!

Have a great day, I already am!

Paper Sweeties September 2019 New Release Rewind!


Welcome back to my blog for the New Release Rewind Day for Paper Sweetie's
September release.  Today I have 2 more cards to share with you using the brand new
stamp set Ewe Make Me Happy . The first card features that sweet little lamb and
the adorable "Love" sentiment from the set.  I did some repeat stamping with the Love sentiment
and made it the background of the card.  I love how the little lamb really stands out
against the vellum Scalloped Circle Sweet Cuts die.


For my second card today I used the sweet flower from the same set and I used a sentiment from
a recently released stamp set called Best Day Ever.
I just love how these flowers can be used alone on a card, they really have a lot of 
character when you give them polka dots!




Don't forget to check out the other new stamp set released yesterday in the Paper Sweeties shop called What's Up Chickie?

Make sure you visit all of the other New Release Team members blogs to

Sassy



Today I have 2 cute cards to share with you using Sassy the Unicorn!

For my first card I used some pretty patterned paper for my background and I colored
and glittered up my pretty little unicorn.  I just love the sweet cloud that comes
in this stamp set! I gave my cloud the proverbial "silver lining" with some glitter!
I separated my patterned paper with a decorative scalloped edge using the 
For some sparkly finishing touches I used some clear sequins as accents.


On my second card I used the brand new Rabbit Hole Circles and Stars stencil to create a fun
background for my card in rainbow colors. Next I used the Stitched Scalloped Border die 
again on some purple glittered card stock to set off the background of the card.
I stamped the sentiment from the Sassy stamp set and finished it off with
the word "Awesome" as a die cut.
Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone, I just had to add some glitter
to my sweet unicorn and her cloud!
I discovered that I am physically unable to make a unicorn card
without using copious amounts of glitter............ sorry, not sorry๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
