A Rose is A Rose

Welcome friends, Mindy with you to share my sample card for our Weekly Challenge # 125 - Aqua and Coral, make a card or project using the colors aqua and coral.  I started with a background patterned paper from the pad Time to Flourish by Graphic 45. The pad is broken down by months so that you can make your own calendar or celebrate an occasion by-the-month.


It just so happens that the paper for June, my birth month, is aqua with coral and pink roses on it. My favorite flower has always been the rose, so I featured one of the Framed Floral Stamps by Stacy Stamps, Rose to be the focal image of my card.  I stamped it on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor markers. I was able to shade the roses to give them depth and dimension using the watercolor markers and a water pen. I also die cut a party bow and shaded it with the coral color.

To complete my card, I added a tiny tag with the sentiment, Hello, stamped from the Floral Vintage Labels Two by JustRite Stamps and a few Poinsettia Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest.  I hope you will join in with your submission to make this final card challenge one of the best!

Patterns stitching colors

Hello, it is Shirley posting today.  I have made a card for the new Classy Cards 'n Such challenge for this week.   We have an inspiration picture with stuffed puppy dogs on it.  We are suppose to use the Colors, Stitches or Patterns on our cards.  We can use them all if we like.  I went with the colors.  Here is my card.


  
All of the patterned paper that I used in my card including the image came from the Graphic 45 Raining Cats And Dogs Paper Pad.  This paper does all the work and takes the guess out of what papers to put together for a card.

The circle was cut using the Spellbinders Teardrop Circles die.  This set comes with four dies.  I used the Spellbinders Tool 'n One to clean my die.  Here is a video on how well it works.  It sure saves a lot of time.

I made my flower using Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose stamps.  I sponged them with ink.   I shaped them using the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit.   I added stickles to the center of the flowers.  I colored the leaves and scrunched the tips.

I hope you will join us for the challenge.

UH Oh-Ouch!!!

Good Morning.   It is Shirley posting today.   I have made a cute country themed card to share with you and hopefully it is one that will bring a smile to the recipient.

My card was started with a black card base.  The next layers I used were made with paper from the Graphic 45 French Country paper pad.  

I stamped the little wounded chicken from the Sweet n' Sassy Get Well Critters stamp set.  He was colored with markers and then cut out with the Sweet n' Sassy Get Well Critters dies.

I stamped a tree on a white piece of card stock that was cut with a stitched die.  I added grass and sponged in some clouds.  I added a couple of sentiments from the stamp set.  I then put Joy Foam Pads Small on the little chick to pop him up on the card stock.  I added a bow for the finishing touch.

Thanks for taking a peek at my card.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful Scraps

Good Morning!    It is Shirley posting today with a  card I made from beautiful scraps.  The  mathematics tip for the day is six to seven pieces of scrap designer paper equals one pretty card.  I hope you you think so too...


I started with a Ivory card base.   I started adding layers and scraps of the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea designer paper. I love all Graphic 45 papers.  Even when you are down to little bitty scraps, you can still make lots of pretty cards.   I used a scalloped border punch on the edges of the scraps. 

The sentiment I stamped on the vanilla card stock is a stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy Keep In Touch set.

I cut the pretty flowers using the Memory Box Tall Chloe Stem die.   I used Joy Foam Dots to pop the flowers up on the card.  I cut a piece of beaded ribbon to place over the stems.  Another scrap that I used for the card today.

Thank you for coming by and taking a peek at my card.  I hope you were able to find inspiration to use some of your beautiful scraps.  Have a great weekend.

Bright and Cheerful

Joy here with a project for the new Bright and Cheerful Challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  You can say that I got a little carried away with this.  I was having so much fun that I played into the early morning with this challenge.  I made a total of 12 envelopes and cards but will not bore you to tears by showing all of them.  Here are six:

These little envelopes are made with the Cottage Cutz  Lace Envelope Die.  I LOVE this die.  The papers are from Key to My Heart, Lady Rose,  and Story Teller by Kaisercraft,  Home Sweet Home, and Botanical Tea by Graphic 45 and Candy Cane Lane by Bo Bunny.  The really cute little cut-outs are all from the Die Cut Pages in the Kaisercraft papers and popped up with Joy Foam Pads.

Next to make were the cards to go inside each little envelope.


These sentiments are from Companion Words by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and Spring Words by JustRite.

Now it's time to join all the others in this challenge called Bright and Cheerful. First go to the Classy Cards 'n Such blog, get some inspiration from the Design Team members and make your project making sure it is Bright and Cheerful - be sure to look at the details on the blog and then link your project.  You could be the winner of a nice prize.

Thanks for looking at my card and have a Happy Stamping Day!
My apologies to Joy as her project was to have been posted earlier this week as one of the examples for this week's challenge.   There is still time to join in as the deadline is not until midnight Central time on Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Until next time...

Winter Wishes

Hello, Diane with you today!  Our challenge this week is winter blues, make it blue and white and to use the inspiration board.  Well, you can also see I was inspired a bit by the kraft color in the bottom photo.

I started my card by embossing with the Darice embossing folder Doily Lace.  Using a Kraft paper, I die cut Marianne Anja's Large Oval.  The green flourish you see is also from the same set.


The image and the snow verse you see are both from the
gorgeous Graphic 45 Time To Flourish paper pack.  This paper pack is so beautiful that I had to purchase two pads, as I knew one I would hoard!


I added a bit of sparkle by using Wink of Stella Glitter Pen on the image.  I finished up with a few Le Creme pearls.

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Until next time...
