PP333 You Matter A lot To Me!

Great sketch from thepaperplayers.blogspot.com

I like things in threes. My daughter suggested I do

butterflies and since she was in the mood, 

I asked what color combo I should do!

She picked a yellow, a purple and a green.

So I triple stamped these butterflies in Crushed Curry,

Rich Razzleberry and Mint Macaron.  

I then stamped a background stamp in Crushed Curry

 and a sentiment from the same set.

Go over and play in the sketch challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by here and have a lovely Tuesday!

Special Reason Wishes!

This is the last card for my card class this week!

I started with using the die cut on the white 

and placing Elegant Eggplant card stock behind.

I stamped the large Wisteria Wonder flower

 and then the Elegant Eggplant with the small flower and then 

both cut with matching dies.

I stamped two leaves in Mint Macaron and cut out.

I then cut two more in same color card stock.

I stamped a sentiment I like to use from Butterfly Basics.

This sentiment can be used for most any occasion.

I hope you have wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

A fun card using the new Balloon Adventures

stamp set and Balloon Bouquet punch.

I used some colors found in my Party Animal DSP.

A little Pacific Point , Crushed Curry, and Emerald Envy.

I also used the awesome Festive emboss folder and finished off 

with the 1/8" taffeta ribbon in Emerald Envy!

I hope you have a blessed Sunday and

Just For You With So In Love

This is my third card for classes this week!

I love the soft colors in the DSP called Falling In Love.

The So Detailed thinlits dies cut in Sahara Sand on top of Blushing Bride.

I used a panel of the DSP on the other side

 and some Very Vanilla satin ribbon down the middle.

Very Vanilla Stitched Shape oval was stamped with the So In Love

stamp set in Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand. 

The sentiment was stamped in Tip Top Taupe. 

This card can be for any occasion also.

I hope you have a lovely Saturday an thanks for stopping by!

FMS276 Best Bird Grateful For You!

I used the Bird & Blooms thinlits dies.  I stamped on the bird die

with a overlooked stamp set called Designer Tin of Cards.

It has several words and phrases, some I used here.

The bird is cut in Very Vanilla and the branch in Soft Suede.

I cut a little flower from Calypso Coral and wrinkled it

then added a pearl to the center.

The DSP is from Cupcakes & Carousels DSP

and I love how it looks like a swirly sky!

You're Sweet!

Sweet Treats makes a sweet card!

I stamped the the cone, the ice cream, the fudge and the cherry and cut 

all out with the matching dies. 

I layered them on a few ovals and the added the sweet paper 

on the Pool Party plus the Watermelon Wonder ribbon.

I love that the sentiment is two separate stamps so I could 

easily stamp two different colors.

Fun fact: I cut the cherry in Watermelon Wonder but 

colored the stem in Early Espresso marker.

I love all the colors together.

I hope my sweet guest love this card which is the second

card for class coming up.

Enjoy Life With Carousel Birthday!

Love the look of the card!  Vintage like but still clean. 

I love the Carousel Birthday set. 

I stamped the carousel horse on Very Vanilla and then

cut it with the Stitched Shapes dies.  I layered the vanilla 

side of the new doilies behind. 

I stamped the circus tents on the background piece.  

I cut some piece of the Cupcakes & Carousels DSP 

as banners behind the sentiment stamped in Early Espresso from

 the Suite Sentiments set...this sentiment is designed to 

coordinate with the Carousel Birthday set.

This is also my first card for my class coming up this week!

I hope you enjoy and have fun this week!

GDP075 Special Day Dragonfly!

The dragonfly here was stamped weeks ago when I was 

working on another project. I stamped the 

wings in Pear Pizzazz and then rocked the edges in Bermuda Bay.

I popped it up on a piece of DSP that looks like white washed wood. 

I stamped the sentiment right on the DSP in Memento Tuxedo Black.

Awesome look thanks to the help of awesome paper for the background!

Hope you can play along over at global-design-project.com.

This is another card I designed for the inkbigacademystamps.com

instead of across. I cut the die in Very Vanilla card stock and then placed 

some Sahara Sand card stock behind.  I love the soft look of

FMS275 Hello Special Reason Flowers!

Great sketch and I love when it comes together so easily!

I decided on the stamp set since it is a new one for me.

I pulled Flirty Flamingo since I never grab that color.

I also grabbed Emerald Envy for the leaves.

I then thought about the Playful Palette DSP for the strips

and added the Basic Black. 

I just had to add some Daffodil Delight on the background with the 

Touches of Textures stamp set.

A little enamel shapes in Daffodil makes the flower!

I used the hello sentiment from Flourishing Phrases

so as not to distract from the flowers.

I hope you can play along over at

Just For You In Coral and Mint

For a design team project over at inkbigacademystamps,

I decided to use my flower from So In Love as a background 

along with the small leaf stem.

I choose Calypso Coral and Mint Macaron for a clean, bold look!

I also wanted to show this set did not have to be soft colors like 

SU! shows the suite in the catalog.

Just some quick ovals for the sentiment 

and Coral thick twine to finish the card.

So Happy With Avant Garden

I was still playing after classes with left over pieces

and the Avant Garden set.

I stamped the flowers in Rich Razzleberry and Blushing Bride

and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz. 

I added some detail in black in the center of flowers.

I placed some burlap ribbon and the gold natural trim through the center.

I finished it off with a sweet sentiment from the same set.

I stamped the lace images from the Delicate Details
SAB stamp set on a piece of Whisper White card stock
and then cut out my butterfly with a die.
I added some pearls for a body.
I used a sentiment from the Dragonfly Dreams set
across the bottom.
Added a few banner pieces and a little background
splatter from Touches of Texture.
I like the idea of the Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand together
 then added a some Rose Red for a darker shade in the combo.

then snipped them out to layer on top of the big ones.

Paper Pumpkin Valentine's Day Treat Bags Fun!

 My daughter, Amanda, and I did the January Paper Pumpkin

kit this weekend.  Very cute Valentine's Day treat bags!

It made 24 bags and we filled them with four Dove

dark chocolate hearts. 

I really like the colors and the touches of gold!

Glad this kit came and had plenty of bags for my Sunday School girls. 

Mostly, I loved the time with my girl!

Hope you have a lovely Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

FMS273 Bee Kind

I still had my Dragonfly stamp set sitting out on my desk
when I went to design for this challenge.
I thought the dots in three colors would make for an interesting
background for this sketch.
I have not used the bee as of yet, so I stamped him in black and then
the next over in Crushed Curry.
I hand snipped him out.
I looked for a while at all my stamps for a sentiment I wanted
to place here but when I saw the confetti reference in
this sentiment from Jar Of Love,
I thought it the dots really do look like confetti
and decided to give it a go!

I love the layout and the mix of DSP. 

But my fav is the sentiment cut out on a heart!

Valentine's Day Bags For Classes

These are the bags for my guest to carry their cards home

from classes this week.

I saw the bags at Michael's and decided they were perfect to decorate

esp. with the gold scallop edges on top!

I cut a few hearts from the Sweet & Sassy framelits dies.

On the left, I used Pink Pirouette, gold foil and then Whisper White.

On the right, I used Real Red, gold foil and Whisper White.

Left stamped in Real Red and the right stamped in Flirty Flamingo.
