Glass Blooms Get Well Soon

Today I am sharing another card from the February Bloom Box kit.  If you haven't signed up for the February kit, you still have time!!!  Other wise you will have to wait 3 months to create this Beautiful card!

I love how Richard used the stripes velum in this card!  I don't know about you, but I always struggle with what to do with velum.  Once I use it, I always love the effect it gives.

The rose bud stamp in this set is to die for!  Being a person who adores coloring,  I have visions of cards made with Ruby Red roses, Soft Pink Roses.... The possibilities are endless!

I hope you enjoyed today's card, and remember you still have time to grab this great Bloom Box set!

See you tomorrow for 2 for Tuesday!

Summer Garden Birthday

Happy Friday everyone! 
Today I am sharing a Birthday card I made using the Summer Garden set.

I have had this set on my wish list for almost a year and finally brought it home!!!  Don't you just love using a new stamp set?!!!  Plus it was one I got to color! Best day ever!

I absolutely adore how it looks layered on the Ornate die with the pierced detailing. I think, no I know that the piercing dies are one of my all time favorite items that FSJ offers.  I even used the Rectangle piercing element on this card!

 

I created the patterned paper by inking up the Whimsey Wallpaper stamp with Lemongrass.   I added the Bloom Time sequins just to add that final touch and give it some sparkle!  I know that any Birthday girl would feel like a Princess when she received this Beautiful card!

Thanks for stopping by,

Two for Tuesday Glass Blooms

Wow, what a difference a day makes!  Yesterday we had 24 degrees and snow, today is 43 and rain!  Still not Spring, but I will take it!

I am going to start something new here on Tuesdays, something I like to call 2 for Tuesday.  I will take 1 stamp and show you 2 different cards using that same stamp.  

Yesterday I showed you this card from February's Bloom Box using the dragonfly stamp.  

Today I created this card using the same layout and a similar color scheme.  

I wanted to show you that you can copy the Bloom Box cards and only change the colors to create cards that are fast and easy when you need a card quick!

On the second card I created today, I used a totally different layout and color scheme.  It is still a quick and easy card!  I mask off a center strip, sponged 3 colors of coordinating ink; Pineapple Smoothie, Pretty Amethyst, and Lavender Fusion. 

 

 I removed the masking tape, stamped the sentiment  and dragonflies, flicked some Gold Silk, used my Gold Shimmer Splash to paint their wings and added Journey Glaze and Sparkle dust for extra shimmer.

Remember  that the Glass Blooms set is only available now in the February Bloom Box.  If you don't get it this month, you will have to wait 3 months until it is available to non Bloom Box members!

I woke up to 6" plus of snow today, so I thought," let's make it feel like spring!"  I pulled out my February Bloom Box and chose the dragonfly card to start with!

In today's post I am sharing a vintage style card.  I have always loved to add distressing to cards, so when I saw the new Love Buds embellishments, I know exactly what I wanted to create with them!

I just love the Vintage Paris paper pack, so I don't know why I haven't used it more...and is pares so well with the Doily die!  Check out the Rhinestone button, be still my heart!!!  And the crochet flower.... what's not to love?!!!!

I think I might save this card for my 20th wedding aniversary this summer!!!

Hope everyone has a Amazing weekend and is blessed with love and joy!

Mandala Dream

Hello Friends.  Today I am sharing a vibrant mandala card that was actually quite quick and easy to create.

 

 

Mandalas are a symbol of the Universe and may be used in meditation, so the art work and saying in the Ornamental Dream  stamp set fit perfectly together! 

 

I combined Cool Pool, Sweet Berry, and Pineapple Smoothie together for this card. Love the combo for light and airy cards.

 

So, as the card says, Follow your Dream, This is your Time!

Cool Pool Valentine Tag

 I am in full in Valentine Mode here in my craft room!  Hearts and Sparkles everywhere!

 

Today I used a non traditional color combo, Bubble Gum and Cool Pool.  Don't you just love how they work together!  As you can see, I pulled out my Doily Die....I know, I am in love with it, but I just can't help myself!

 

I used another one of my favorite dies, the Bread Tag die.  If you throw parties or enjoy giving little goodies, this die is a must have!!! It is just perfect for creating little favor or goody bags.

 

 

Love the little Heart Sparkle Drop in the center of my layered hearts!!! And be still my beating heart, Bubble Gum Silk with Pink World sequins to glam it up even more!
