Beachy Christmas

I had not planned on getting this set or using it it for 

my Christmas classes but my class members insisted on it.

So this is my first Christmas card for card class in September.

I wanted to stamp that cute palm tree with lights. 

I added the beach house and colored them with markers.

I layered the image on Wild Wasabi square and then on a scalloped

Real Red square. I stamped the sentiment 

and a shell I colored in on a white banner then layered on Real Red.

I used the Pinewood Planks emboss folder for the background, 

ran some retired Real Red twine around before layering all on 

the Wild Wasabi base.

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

GDP103 Vintage Thinking Of You

I have been wanting to pull out my lovely Vintage Leaves

set and matching dies. I grabbed the Fresh Fig ink

and stamped one leaf on Very Vanilla and the other two are 

stamped on Crumb Cake.  I cut them with the Leaflets framelits dies

and layered them on a piece of Wood Textures DSP.

I layered the DSP on Very Vanilla and a Fresh Fig base.

I grabbed the sentiment from Sheltering Tree set

and stamped it on vanilla and then cut 

with the Stitched Shapes oval.  I layered that oval onto another

in Fresh Fig.

I added some copper thread behind the ovals but 

it does not show up well in the photo.

Must play with the leaves some more later.

But for now, head over to global-design-project.com

to play along today!

Thanks for stopping by!

FabFri120 Grateful Paisleys

I stared for a long time with this color challenge.

My first thought was about using the Pick A Pumpkin bundle
but I saw others use it so decided to look for something else.
I thought these colors would make a great background
so I pulled out my Paisleys & Posies set with this sentiment
in it.  I made my own designer paper on Whisper White
and stamped in Tranquil Tide ink the sentiment
 on a piece of Peekaboo Peach.  I cut it out with
the Stitched Shapes dies.
I layered all this on a piece of Lemon Lime Twist
and a Tranquil Tide base.
I finished it off with some glitter enamel dots in three sizes.

I hope you enjoy your Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Wood Words For You

I have been hoarding this ribbon!!! Yes, the 1/2" Night of Navy gingham ribbon!!! 

I have wanted to use it but keep thinking I am saving for something!  

Well, I decided to force myself to use it today!

I stamped the floral image from Wood Words on the Whisper White 

piece of card stock and the ran the ribbon and made a sweet bow.

I added the rooster also from the same set

 and used the matching die called Wood Crate for him.

 I stamped the sentiment from the set and layering it on 

a circle in Night of Navy.  I was tempting to put it all on a Night of Navy

base but then thought how cool would look with Wood Textures DSP.  

I have been hoarding it too!  I think my mom will like this card!

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

Coffee and Diamonds II

I made this card at the same time I did the one last Monday.

I was experimenting with the embossing paste and mixing colors.

I used Always Artichoke ink again here on Crumb Cake and the same 

diamond mask from the Pattern Party decorative masks.

I added some Coffee Break DSP to the side.

I cut a Stitched Shaped circle die and layered a small cup stamped in 

Always Artichoke.  The lid is Early Espresso and the sentiment is in Soft Sky.

It showed real light here in the photo.

I cut all these along with the paper sleeve with the Coffee Cups framelits dies.

Fun cad especially with the embossing paste and diamond mask!

Hope you have a sweet day and thanks for stopping by!

TTTC013 Petal Garden For You

I decided on the middle row down for this week's challenge. 

Pattern Paper was the lovely Petal Garden DSP.  Flower was both from 

the DSP and the stamp set called Graceful Garden which I colored the 

flower with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive markers.  

The sentiment from the same set was stamped in Rich Razzleberry.

I cut the image out in the Stitched Shapes dies.  

I then layered it with a piece of Rich Razzleberry cut with a scallop 

Layering Oval.  Last layer was another Stitched Shapes in Old Olive.

Both the bottom and the top are the Petal Garden DSP. 

I just had to add the scallop edge cut in Razzleberry from

the Seasonal Layers thinlits dies. The pearls on the bottom finished it off!

Hope you have a blessed holiday weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

FMS303 Eclectic Flower

Well, it took me a while to decide on a pattern 

from this awesome Naturally Eclectic DSP. 

Finally landed on the stripes which worked well for the sketch.

I add a strip of Whisper White that I stamped the background

image in Peekaboo Peach and the sentiment in Emerald Envy.

I stamped the flower in Peekaboo Peach and layered over with Emerald Envy.

I stamped the solid leaves in Lemon Lime Twist and the detailed leaves 

in Emerald Envy.  All cut out with matching dies.

I added a glitter enamel dot to the center of the flower 

and finished it off with a crinkled seam binding ribbon in 

Berry Burst.  I layered it all on a Berry Burst base.

I hope you can play along with the sketch challenge this week over at
