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,

Make it Monday: Hope Rises

Happy Monday everyone!  Today's post features a stamp set out of the Spring Mini Catalog.  If you have been eyeballing anything in this catalog, you have until March 31 to order, after that the items are no longer available.

After I stamped the tulip vase image from the "Hope Rises" set and colored it, I cut it out so I could layer it onto a Cool Pool "Fancy Label" die cut.  I cut out another "Fancy Label" die, but this time I used Orange Creamcicle cardstock.  I stamped the Orange Creamcicle die with ink of the same color  and my "Canvas Prints" background stamp.  Isn't it awesome how it gives just a little texture to the die cut?!!!

Next I grabbed my "Ink Splat" stamp and my Lavender Fusion IP and added 3 splats to my card base.  I cut a lacy border strip using the "Border Details" die and adhered to my card base.  I also used some White Liner tape to adhere a piece  of "Tangerine Fusion Crimp" ribbon onto the card base.

I love doing loopy bows with our Journey Thread, just wrap it around 4 fingers, grab it in the middle and tie it with a seperate thread! And how cute is that "Clear Blooms Accent" flower with the purple candy dot to finish off this card?  The  sentiment is from the "P.S. Greetings" set. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Make it Monday: Be Happy

Happy Monday Everyone!

Ever wonder how those perfect Mom's get it all done and make it look Fabulous?... Well this project is fast, easy, and Amazing! Imagine showing up to your child's school, activity or birthday party with these totally Fabulous treats!!! You would be that Mom- the one we all want to be like.... And it's easy! 
 

 I started with a pack of Fun Stampers Journey "Spring Treat Bags", put a store bought sugar cookie in it , and folded the top over.  Pretty easy so far, right?  Then I die cut assorted colors of FSJ cardstock using  the "Fancy Label die". ( and all of FSJ's colors coordinate, so you don't even have to worry about that!)

 

Next I used my "Beach Breeze" ink pad and the flower from the "Be Happy" stamp set to stamp 3 flower on a Whip Cream Fancy Label die cut.  I also stamped a flower on a separate piece of cardstock and cut out.  I stamped the sentiment from "Be Happy" in "Black Licorice" at the bottom of the tag.

 That flower  I cut out is pop dotted up and I added a Sparkle Dot- because everyone needs a little bling!  3 wraps of the "Beach Breeze Thread" around my fingers, a glue dot to stick it to the back of my tag and it's almost ready...  Grab a "Jumbo Wooden Clothespin", clip the bag shut & and you just turned into Wonder Mom!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Grateful Heart

I've been thinking about how blessed my life has been for the past few weeks.  I have a wonderful husband who loves me and lets me follow my dreams, 3 great kids who are awesome, 4 beautiful grandbabies, and a whole host of friends who make me laugh and support me.  Do I want more?  Yes, but I am grateful for what I have and need to make sure I show my gratitude each and every day.  I have challenged myself to tell someone everyday how I am thankful they are in my life and what they mean to me.

 

 

 

I love the colors on this card, Pomegranate Splash, Banana Cream, Hazelnut Blend, Citrus Cooler and  touch of Gold Silk.

 

 

I used the Brush Stroke Set SS-0205 to create the background and to "color" my leaves.  You can find this set and the rest of the items used here.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
