A Gift with Bloom

Hi, it's Joy today!

When I heard the challenge from Classy Cards 'n Such would be to use a flower from Susan's Garden dies by Sizzix, I was so excited.  These are quality dies that help you make beautiful flowers that can be used on lots of different projects.

I made a little box for a bracelet I made my granddaughter. 

First, a little match box was made using the Scor-Buddy Mini Scoring Tablet.

The flower parts were cut using the Lily from Susan's Garden. To texturize the individual petals and the leaves, I used the medium ball stylus from the Susan's Garden Tool Kit. This tool kit was purchased because it  has a molding pad and a leaf pad. There is another version of the tool kit called Paper Blossoms Paper Tool Kit and it has a cute carrying case.

The flower was quickly assembled on top of a separate piece of card stock in case I messed up the flower, I would not need to do another box. Next time I won't to this because the flower assembly was so quick and easy. I used a Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge - Distress Ink Marker to make the little freckles in the petals. Before the stamen was glued in the center, the tips were dipped in a little glue and then dipped into some flower soft. The Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive is one of the best around for assembling these flowers and is perfect for the flower soft.

I love doing these flowers - they can be used for so many projects.  I saw a wreath made from  different Susan's Garden dies - it was heavenly!  

I'm off to make a few more of these beauties. Have a happy stamping day!

A great way to share your gifts! Thanks Joy!

Simply Vintage Rose

Hi, it's Misti today!

Have you noticed that Beverly has added a new line of stamps to the store?  They are B Line Designs stamps. Oh my goodness! These stamp so nicely! They are a red rubber cling stamp that are deeply etched with lots of details.  I'm so hooked!!   

My card today uses the Garden Rose stamp. I stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock with black ink. I used Peeled Paint and Spun Sugar Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers, with the Detail Water Brush to color it in. Then added it to a black panel from the Layering Swatches #2 - Deep Variety.

The pink designer paper comes from the new Bo Bunny Soft Shades Double Dots paper pad.  These remind me of all things spring!

I added some white Cluny Lace and some Black Pearls.

I'm so ready, so bring on spring!

Such a pretty card for any occasion! Thanks Misti!

Silky and Fabulous

Hi, Diane here with you today on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog!

A few weeks ago, Beverly added a beautiful new line of paper to her store called So... Silk Fabulous Purple.  Let me tell you, this paper is FABULOUS!! It's made with silk fibers and has such a silky, smooth feel to it.  I loved working with it!

I started by using the paper for my card base.  I added a white embossed panel using the Dots embossing folder by Crafts Too.

To add interest to the panel, I used the NEW just released Cherry Lynn Designs Fancy Corner Cuts #1. Aren't they pretty??  There are four different sets to choose from!!

I then cut Cheery Lynn Designs Mesh Border, cutting it from the same gorgeous So... Silk Fabulous Purple paper.  I just cut it down to fit my panel.

On top, I added the beautiful die from Memory Box, Quinn Flourish.

I made my roses using Cheery Lynn Designs Rose, miniature die. They are colored with PanPastels Flower Coloring Kit - Susan's Garden using the color Violet, giving the roses a soft, real look!

I tucked in a bit of greenery using Cheery Lynn Designs die Wreath Strip.

Adding a purple sheer bow completed my card.

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Your card is really pretty! Thanks Diane!
