Beautiful Sunflowers

It is Shirley with you today.  I have made a card with my favorite flowers on it.  I love sunflowers, I think they are the most beautiful flowers ever. 

I started my card with a brown card base.  I layered it with red card stock and added a layer of designer paper.    I really think these colors compliment each other and they are perfect for a card with a country feel.

I used red card stock to cut the Fleur De Lis decorative square.   I used a square die to cut out a window to fit the Heartfelt Creations Sunflower Bouquet behind.   I stamped two of the images so I could fussy cut the sunflowers from  one to place in the corner.  I shaped the flowers using the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit.  I colored the images with Copics.  I adhered the three sunflowers on the corner of the first image and popped one of them up using a foam square.  I used green card stock to cut the Marianne Anja Leaves 2 to place under the sunflowers.  I used my trusty Memory Box Willoughby Butterfly Wings to cut the butterflies in the upper corner.  This is the butterfly image that I use the most.  I used Tear Drop Pearls to place on the butterfly and in the corners as the finishing touch to my card.

I hope you liked my card.  Thank you for dropping in to see us today.

I added four new items to the shop today.  Three of the four items have only one available, so shop now while they are available.  You can see them all here.

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!

Pretty Floral

Hi, Diane with you today. I have been making Fall and Christmas cards like mad and decided to take a break and make something fancy!

I used paper from The Paper Studio Country Road as my background and went from there. I know you can't see it properly, but I used a beautiful PoppyStamps Crochet Corner die to place under my flowers. It is so delicate and pretty.

On top of that I arranged a few flowers from my supplies along with Mini Rose Buds Pink, A few sprigs from Marianne Designs Anja Leaves 2, and leaf flourishes from Spellbinders Romantic Vines were added. To finish the floral bouquet, I used a green bow.

I stamped a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy Flowers In Bloom stamp set. The sentiment was punched out and inked with Distress Ink.

I double cut three butterflies first from Stardream Metallic Rose Quartz card stock, then from a dotted vellum using Joy! Crafts Fantasy Butterflies. A bit of bling was added to the butterflies with Sleek Silver Rhinestone Strips.

Thank you for visiting with me today.

Come back tomorrow, and we will have a new CCNS challenge for you. It will be Challenge #112 - Ornaments. There are beautiful cards just waiting to inspire you by the CCNS Design Team.

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

Shimmery Reindeer

Hello everyone! It is Shirley posting today, with a card for our deer inspired Christmas card. I love Christmas cards with gold and silver, so those are the colors I used on my card for today.

I started with my white card base. I added a silver layer and a gold embossed layer of card stock.

I cut the main decorative image using Marianne's Anja's Large Oval. I stamped the "Tis The Season" sentiment from the Flourishes Holiday Topiaries stamp set with Versamark. I then embossed it with Gold Detail embossing powder. 

Next I used silver foil paper from the Foil Paper - Textured Patterns 1, to cut out the deer, using the Memory Box Leaping Deer die. I also cut a second deer using chipboard to make the deer more stable. I tied a piece of gold cord around the neck of the deer. I used Joy Small Foam Pads to pop the deer up on the beautiful die cut.

Last but not least, I cut four snowflakes to go in all four corners with the Impression Obsession Small Snowflake die set.

With Sympathy

Hello crafters, it is Shirley here today.  I have a sympathy card to share with you today. Thankfully, I do not need it, at this time. It is always harder to make them in the time of need.

I started with a white card base. I used the Marianne Anja's Large Oval to cut the outer oval from So...Silk Glamour Green card stock. This card stock is produced with silk fibers, which gives the paper a silky feel, but it has a metallic appearance to it. The picture of it does not give show the real beauty of it.

Next I used the decorative oval from the Anja's Large Oval set to cut the decorative layer.  I glued it to the outer layer using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive. I used the smaller die from this set to cut the layer for my silver embossed sentiment. I used Joy Large Foam Pads to pop up the sentiment.

I decided to pair the PoppyStamps Angel Corner die to add some decorative flair to my card. I think it goes quite well with the Anja's Large Oval. They look like they were made to go together, don't they?   I glued the white corners to the So...Silk Glamour Green card stock, and cut them out. They were glued to the corners of the card under the decorative oval as the final step to my card.

If you haven't joined us for Classy Cards 'n Such weekly challenge, there is still a little time to do so. I hope to see your card there. 

Thank you for coming by today. I hope you liked my card.

Lavender

Hi there, Diane here today! This is my card I did for our current challenge Bee Happy.

I stamped Impression Obsession Lavender stamp three times with the pen to stamp technique. I wanted a bit more bling to my card, so I added Sparkle 'n Sprinkle Sugar Plum glitter to the flowers.

For the sentiment I stamped Impression Obsession Lavender Devotion with a grape jelly ink color.

I hand cut both the flower image and the sentiment and mounted it on a background cut from Marianne Anja's Large Oval. The panel underneath is cut in purple card stock and part of the Marianne die set.

The bumble bee I used is no longer stocked, but you could use Memory Box Jolly Bumblebees or Itty Bitty Bumblebees.

Thank you for visiting with me today, and I encourage you to join in our challenge with us!!
