2 for Tuesday: Summer Garden

Hello Creative Friends!  I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend, I know I did.  I took a long weekend and spent it with my family.  I am refreshed and ready to spend some time being creative!

This week on 2 for Tuesday I am show casing the stamp set "Summer Garden". I absolutely love these roses!  The first card is one that I created for a customer  who ordered a wedding card.  She told me the bride loves blue and white.  

Love how the blue rose turned out!!! And all those pearls added to the "Heart You"embossing folder make my heart sing!  I hope that the bride and groom have a full and blessed marriage.

My second card is done using Rich Coral and Black Licorice cardstock.  The patterned paper is from my stash of the Treat Time prints, a Halloween paper pack.  I love this particular pattern and I only have a few sheets left.

I had an Ahhhh Haaa moment the other day when I watched Richard Garay's video using the Whip Cream re inker.  So I have been playing with it and using it in the roses.  I have a awesome video in the works to show you how I colored the roses.

Thanks for stopping by,

2 for Tuesday: Dino-Mite

Hello Creative Friends!  It's time for 2 for Tuesday where I take 1 stamp set and show you 2 different cards I created with it.  This week's stamp set is "Dino-Mite"

The first card is for a boy's birthday.  You could carry on the theme and actually create an entire birthday celebration with it.  Can't you just see little treat bags with this adorable T-Rex on them?
 

But who said girls wouldn't like a dinosaur card?  My second card is created for the girl who is into dinosaurs and wants her birthday party to be dinosaur themed.  I can see a bunch of little girls running around with pink capes that have dinosaur spikes sewn down the back of them!

How cute is this?  By pairing Watermelon Fusion with Sweet Pear and Kiwi Slice , the whole set goes from a little boy theme to a girl theme.

Thanks for stopping by!

2 for Tuesday: Star Bright

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today's  2 for Tuesday featured stamp set is "Star Bright".   It coordinates with the "Star-Dom" die set.  

1 stamp set, 2 totally different cards!

The first card today is a fast, clean and simple card that is perfect to give a word of encouragement in. The A2 base is Pineapple Smoothie CS, layered with a Rich Coral  CS 4 x 5-1/4 panel.  Next is the Whip Cream CS layer cut to 3-3/4 x 5.  I stamped the 2 smallest stars using Pineapple Smoothie, Orange Creamcicle and Rich Coral ink pads.  The sentiment is stamped with Black Licorice. To make the card pop, I covered all of the stars in Journey Glaze and a sprinkle of Sparkle Dust.

My second card for today is all about patterns and layers.  I started with an A2 base of Oatmeal Cookie CS layered with a Pool Play CS panel.  Next I added another layer of patterned cardstock from the "Vintage Paris" paper pack.  I then added 3 banners, the bottom one is silver polka dot vellum from the "Vellum Designer Prints" pack.  I followed that with banners made of  Pool Play and a blue polka dot from the "Winter Fresh Prints" pack.  

I stamped the large striped star with "Journey Silver" ink onto a Oatmeal Cookie CS scrap and cut it out.  I also used the striped star to stamp a piece of Pool Play CS to layer the sentiment on.

The sentiment is stamped on Buttercream CS and embossed with "Journey Silver Embossing Powder".  I used "Tinsel Trim" to make loops beneath my star, layered a Free Bloom Benefit (got to love it when you get paid to shop!)  "Shooting Star Element" and a Pearl to complete the card.

Thanks For Stopping By!

Two for Tuesday: Favorite Peeps

Hi Everybody!  Today I am sharing 2 different cards I created using the Favorite Peeps set.  These cards couldn't be more different!!!

The first card is a whimsical step card.

Isn't it just stinking cute?  I used most of the eggs in the Favorite Peeps stamp set along with the matching dies in the Favorite Peeps die set.  I also used my brand new Border Details Die set to create the grass and the vines. I can already tell that I am going to get my money's worth out of this border set! 

The second card is a vintage/ shabby chic card.

 

Say what?!!! Yes, this is created using the the same Favorite Peeps set!  I choose to use only the eggs from the Favorite Peeps set for this card.  I stamped them using Cool Pool and Oatmeal Cookie. Totally different look by changing the colors and accessories!

I also used the Border Details die set on this card also.  I pulled out my Doily die - if you don't have this die yet, you "NEED" it!!!  I cut the Oatmeal Cookie doily in half to add some texture in the bottom of my card.  The flowers are made from the Spring Bloom Minis die.  Love how you can make them curl using our Bloom tool.  The patterned paper in the background is from the Vintage Paris paper pack.

Thanks for stopping by!

2 for Tuesday: Hello Puddles

Happy Tuesday everyone!  This week's 2 for Tuesday is featuring the stamp set, Hello Puddles SS-0251.

I posted this card from the FSJ blog last week over on my Facebook page. It is so stinking cute!!!  Everyone loved it, so I decided that it would go in this week's Tuesday post.
 

This is my card that I created with the Hello Puddles set.

Same stamp set, just a little twist in the card.  I combined it with the Spring parade 6x6 paper pad and the Linked Dots stamp SS -0051.  I also broke out my brand new die set, Border Basics DI- 0144.... Love it!  You know what else I love that I used on this card?!!!

These cute little Rainbow drops!!! ( AC-0178).  My friend Lori loves these drops- I keep having to check her purse when she comes over to make sure she hasn't taken my box!- not really but it's a running joke with us.

Hope you enjoyed this post,

~Cindy~
