Poppy Kindness


I just had to feature this lovely print of Peaceful Poppies DSP.
I made it the background and layered a piece of Old Olive then a piece
of Poppy Parade before adding to the white base.
I wrapped some of the sweet Whier White 1/4" crinkled 
seam binding ribbon around twice before adhering to the base.
I cut the ornate die from the Orante Frames dies in 
Poppy Parade card stock and then another die from the same set 
in white. I stamped the sentiment from Dressed To Impress in
Old Olive ink to finish off this card.

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

FabFri180 & PP472 Be As Bold As Your Lipstick







Such a fun card! Yes, it is bright and purple!
I decided to use this new set called Dressed To Impress 
but had no real layout in mind. 
I stamped the perfume, the lip stick and two shoes in
Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with the 
three colors in Stampin Blends markers from lovely color challenge over at 
fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com 
Then I thought shoes, perfume, lipstick-I have all new ones for 
2020 so I am playing along also over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  
for the something new theme!
BTW- all of these were hand snipped out!
I have a Poppy Parade base and I cut a piece of Highland Heather
with the Stitched Rectangle die. I then cut two different sized
Stitched Rectangle dies plus two Stitched Squares
 from Stitched Shapes dies in Whisper White card stock.
I added the images on three white panels and stamped the sentiment 
in Poppy Parade ink. I stamped the flowers in Memento and colored them
with Poppy for a little more pop of colors and cuteness!

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

CTS353 Parisian Birthday Wishes




I have been planning to do a black and white card 
with this Parisian Beauty bundle. 
This awesome sketch from my friend Brian King this week 
at casethissketch.blogspot.com was the perfect time to make it.
I was going to add a black fleur de lis from the same set but 
I wanted a little pop of pink so I added the flower blossom
stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black from the Forever Blossoms set 
then colored in Flirty Flamingo. I added a pink pearl to the center.
I stamped the tower in same black and cut it out with the matching dies.
I cut the black oval from Layering Oval dies and stamped the script from 
Parisian Beauty in Whisper White craft ink.
I layered these on the white background ran through the 
Parisian Flourish embossing folder.
 I added the Basic Black card stock panel then placed on the white base.
I finished it off with the sentiment banner stamped in 
Memento Black ink from Varied Vases stamp set.
It turned out so lovely!
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

A Tee Time Happy Birthday


This bundle is so much fun to design with so I was 
happy I had to make another birthday card for my uncle. 
He is a big golfer also and is near retirement and probably will play more now.
I used the Country Club DSP prints I had cut into already for my dad's card 
and layered them on a Crushed Curry base
. I added a thin strip of Poppy Parade across the two prints.
I cut the white and Night of Navy labels with the 
Stitched Nested Labels dies and popped them up in the middle.
I stamped the golf ball image on white card stock with my
Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it with the matching die.
I colored it with the Stampin Blends in Call Me Clover, 
Smoky Slate, and Crushed Curry. 
I stamped the sentiment on the Poppy Parade
banner I cut with the Golf Club dies and heat embossed
in white. Final touch was adding the Crumb Cake gold clubs 
behind the golf ball image cut from same dies set.
Very colorful card!
Hope you have a wonderful week and 
thanks for stopping by!

Greatest Guy




I designed a birthday card for my dad next week. 
He loves golf and since retiring several years ago,
he works a few days a week at golf course in Atlanta so
he can play for free when he wants.
 I just had to get this new Country Club suite to make cards for him,
 my uncle and my brother which are big golfers.  
I did a little casing from the new mini catalog which starts today!
I started with the Country Club DSP in blue and green for the background.
I love a good argyle print! I layered it on a piece of 
white card stock and then a Night of Navy base.
I then cut the Garden Green Stitched Nested Label die and then 
ran it through the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder. 
I stamped the golfer in Memento Tuxedo Black from Clubhouse stamp set
and then colored it with my Stampin Blends markers.
I cut it with the matching dies.
 I then stamped the sentiment on Night of Navy in VersaMark 
and heat embossed it in white emboss powder. 
I cut it with the shield die from the Golf Club dies. 
I added some wooden elements behind with the County Club elements. 
I placed them on the white golf ball I cut from the dies also.
I cut a little white ball to add to the upper left corner to finish it off.
Hope you have a wonderful first weekend of 2020.
Thanks for stopping by!

FMS416 Merci Parisian Beauty




I finally cut into my beautiful Parisian Blossoms DSP today!
For the sketch challenge over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com
I used the Parisian Beauty bundle and this lovely paper.
Actually, this is one of the fun prints and the ones with the 
foil are just gorgeous! 
I did cut my tower from Champagne foil and used almost all of it.
The little travel suitcases on the paper are so fun!
I layered the 4.5" by 3.5" DSP with a piece cut the same size of Petal Pink
on the Pool Party base. I cut the Merci die in Petal Pink card stock
and layered it across the tower. I finished it off with some retired
sequins in Petal Pink.
This was a quick card and then I noticed I did not stamp so it was so easy!

Hope your day is as easy and blessed!
Thanks for stopping by!

GDP221 Timeless Tulips Happy Birthday And Happy New Year!




I really like these colors for the tulips!
Head over to play along with the color challenge 
over at global-design-project.com 
I stamped the tulips in Cherry Cobbler and then the stems 
and leaves in Shaded Spruce on white card stock.
 The Tulip Builder punch did the work for the tulips and the leaves
but I had to hand snip the stems. Super easy thankfully. 
I then cut the frame from the Heirloom frames dies in Early Espresso
card stock and then embossed it with the rectangle Heirloom emboss folder.
I added this to the white background embossed with the Subtles emboss
folder and layered on the Espresso base. 
I finished it off with the Ornate Frame die cut in white card stock 
and the sentiment in Espresso ink.
It turned out to be a quick card. 
You can never go wrong with tulips!

Happy New Year and Welcome 2020!
Hope your year is blessed and fruitful!
Thanks for stopping by!
