FMS441 Hello Peony

 from Prized Peony set in Gray ink. then cut with the matching die.

GDP246 Be You

I thought of this awesome print of the Whale Of A Time DSP

for the sketch challenge this week over at global-design-project.com 

I layered the swirl of sea turtles on a Pacific Point base.

I then cut the large turtle from another print of the same 

paper pack and popped him up. I added a strip of the 

other side of the designer paper with a green seaweed print on the 

right side. I then stamped the sentiments from 

Rooted In Nature set in Pacific Point ink on white card stock

and hand snipped them out.

I finished up with a few blue sequin pieces for bling.

Hope you have a happy Friday and

FabFri192 Give Thanks Wreath

Well, I did it..I worked all 5 new in colors into my

cute square wreath card for the challenge over at 

fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com this week.

I love how it turned out! I grabbed the Cinnamon Cider 

designer paper in the wood print for the background.

I layered it with a piece of Just Jade and a Cinnamon base

cut 4 1/4" square. I cut two different greenery wreaths

in Just Jade card stock with the Wreath Builder dies.

I also cut a Magenta Madness bow for the top of my wreath.

I stamped the flowers from the Arrange a Wreath set in 

Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness and 

cut them with matching dies. 

I had to add rhinestones for some bling, of course!

I finally stamped the sentiment from the set in Cinnamon

and cut it with a Ornate Frames die.

Hope you have a lovely day and 

thanks for stopping by!

PP496 Thanks A Ton

Don't you just love Granny Apple Green?

I used it here to match the fun print of designer paper

 I used with all the fish from Whale Of a Time DSP for 

Joanne's clean and simple thanks challenge this week over at

thepaperplayers.blogspot.com 

I did a little casing from page 95 of the new SU! catalog but 

changed up the color and it is not a shaker card.

I used a Granny Apple Green base and then another piece of the 

same color ran through though the Seabed Embossing folder. 

I punched a circle with my 2 1/2" circle punch so you can 

see the ocean scene underneath. 

I stamped the whale from Whale Done in Blackberry Bliss ink

 and used the matching punch to punch him out. 

I then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink on Blackberry 

Bliss card stock and heat embossed in white.

I then cut the sentiment up to add. 

A few blue sequin to give some bling to finish it up.

I love the Whale Of A Time suite!

Hope you have a fun day 

and thanks for stopping by!

CTS377 Celebrate You Blooms

I really love coloring the flowers in the Bloom & Grow set.

For the sketch over at casethissketch.blogspot.com 

I stamped these flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black

on thick white card stock and colored with the Purple Posy,

Just Jade, So Saffron and Seaside Spray Stampin Blends.

I cut with the matching die. I also cut a Stitched So Sweetly

die in white and stamped a sentiment from same set in Black.

I layered these on the Purple Posy designer print and same color base.

I finished off with some Purple Posy gems.

Hoe you have a wonderful day

Peony Garden

I wanted to use the peony flower die cut which is 5 pieces.

Plus there is several leaf dies, too.

I cut the first 4 pieces with Flirty Flamingo card stock. 

I then cut a Basic Gray middle piece for the flower. 

I cut the leaves in Pear Pizzazz. I added all to the 

Peony Garden DSP and Basic Gray base.

I finished it off with some pearls.

I started to use a sentiment but left blank to use either as a

birthday card or any occasion card.

I did not use a stamp set but love the other elements of the 

Peony Garden suite. I think next time I make another 

flower/leaves, I will use a little ink around the edges to get it 

some more dimensions. I could also emboss the flower parts or

stamp on the card stock to make it look like textured.

Lots of choices and techniques.

Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

Relaxing Day

Wow, I have to remember the million colors I used for this scene!

I did stamped the scene from the new Seaside View set in Memento Tuxedo Black

on white and cut it with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

I colored it with the Stampin blends markers. 

I used Just Jade for plants, Pool Party for water, light Night of Navy for boat.

I used Crumb Cake for the sand, Ivory for the deck, Flirty Flamingo

for the chair cushions and rugs, Daffodil Delight for fruit, 

Smoky Slate for vase and bowl, and Cinnamon Cider for the chairs and table.

I guess that was actually nine colors! 

I then popped it up on a piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock ran through 

the Old World Paper embossing folder.

I then layered it on a Cinnamon base.

I usually do not try to fussy cut words/sentiments but gave it a try.

I think it came out ok with black card stock and white emboss powder.

I hope you have a relaxing day and thanks for stopping by!

I then stamped the sentiment from the Whale Done set in Pretty Peacock

 and cut with detailed circle from Tasteful Labels dies.

 I stamped the whale from same set in Peacock ink and used the matching punch.

Take Time For Yourself

Taking time for myself today as this should be my view

 today on our beach vacay on Sanibel Island. 

I did a case from the new SU! catalog page 47 with the 

new set called Seaside View. 

I changed the designer paper strip with a piece 

from Whale Of A Time DSP. 

I ran my Seabed embossing folder with a white piece

of card stock and then layered it on the white base.

I then cut a stitched square from shimmer white paper

and water colored the image from the new Seaside View 

set I stamped in Stazon Black ink.

I used my aqua painter with Cinnamon Cider, Daffodil Delight,

Balmy Blue, and Crumb Cake. 

I then layered a piece of braided linen trim and a strip of 

Balmy Blue with the sentiment stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I finished it off with a linen thread bow.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

I am playing with the nice sketch challenge from Brian King 

over at casethissketch.blogspot.com and with the 

festivefridaychallenge.com with pink, yellow and 

green along with a little citrus (lime on glass).

I love the sentiment I used in the new set Nothing's Better Than.

I stamped it three times on the stitched white circle in Memento

Tuxedo Black, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight. 

I stamped the drink in Memento and added with stamps the coloring

of Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green.

I cut it with the matching dies called Love You More Than dies.

I cut the Granny Apple Green scallop strip with a die 

from Budding Blooms dies. I then added good texture with the 

Tasteful Textile embossing folder and finished on a white base.

FMS439 Thanks A Bunch

Happy Monday...lots of new pink for the sketch challenge

 over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

I got some inspiration from my friend Stesha over at stampinhoot.com

with the water coloring. 

I grabbed some water color paper and sprayed it with 

water then used my aqua painter to drop some 

splashes of the new Magenta Madness ink. 

After it dried, I layered on a square of Magenta Madness 

DSP in a wood print. I then cut a white stitched square 

and popped a bright sunflower form Celebrate Sunflowers up. 

I also used water color paper and Memento Tuxedo Black

plus Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Smoky Slate. 

I cut it with the matching Sunflower dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Memento 

on Magenta card stock and cut the ends with the 

Lovely Labels pick a punch.

I placed all on a Magenta base and added the bling with 

the in color enamel dots in Magenta. 

Hope you have a wonderful week

GDP244 My Thoughts Are With You

I cased the sketch and the soft shades with neutrals from the 

case the designer challenge this week over at global-design-project.com 

and the talented Krista Frattin. 

This is my first card with the new Peony Garden suite and I decided

to color in the lovely print of the the Peony Garden DSP for the background. 

I used my Stampin Blends markers in Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam.

I then added another print of the designer paper for the panel on the right.

I stamped the flower from Prized Peony set in Memento Tuxedo Black

and colored it with the same colors then cut it on the matching dies 

called Peony dies. I also stamped the sentiment from the set 

in Basic Gray ink and cut it with a new fav die from Tasteful Labels dies.

Yes, I love this set-Tasteful Touches!

It is in the new 2020-2021 SU! annual catalog and starts this week.

I have to hand snip those flowers but they are worth it and 

so happy they are easy to do.

I started with the sketch in mind from 

freshlymadesketch.blogspot.com and grabbed the block

background stamp and inked it up in Night of Navy

 to stamp on the white card stock several times in four rows.

I also stamped the sentiment from same set and ink on top. 

I then layered it to the Night of navy piece and the Daffodil Delight base.

I then stamped the two flowers from the set on thick white card stock

in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I colored them with the Stampin Blends in Light Mango Melody,

light and dark Daffodil Delight as well as Ivory in the middle.

I cut three of the Night of Navy leaves from Nature's Thoughts dies.

I added a little Wink of Stell-clear to the center of the flowers!
