Positive Thoughts

I was trying to be a little creative with the sketch but not sure 

i like the off center of the Soft Sea Foam card stock. 

However , I do like the bundle called Positive Thoughts.

I have used it here for my third card for classes in March.

I started with the Basic Gray base and added the Sea Foam

card stock. I then cut the white with the Nature's Thoughts dies

(it does not show up good in the photo but the edge has a decor

around it).

I then stamped a little Soft Sea Foam ink on the white panel with 

the splatter from Gather Together set.

I stamped the stem from Positive Thoughts in Soft Sea Foam and cut 

with matching die. I also stamped the butterfly on white in 

Calypso Coral and sponged a little coral on before cut it out.

I added the layers of Coral strip with the detailed die in Basic Gray.

On top, I added the strip of white stamped with the sentiment in Gray.

A rhinestone finished off.

I really like the color combo of Basic Gray, Calypso Coral

 and Soft Sea Foam.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

I designed this card also for my friend to make swaps

 for an event last month. 

I am using this for the second card class next week.

I started with a Soft Suede base.

I ran the Daffodil Delight piece through the Coastal Weave  

embossing folder. I then cut the stitched rectangle in white.

I stamped the splatter from the Artisan Textures set in Daffodil ink

and the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical set in Suede.

I stamped the tress on white in Old Olive and Soft Suede(I pushed the branches 

in Olive Olive ink and used a Soft Suede marker to add color to trunks).

I them with the matching dies. 

I stamped the flowers in Suede on both Mango Melody 

and Grapefruit Grove card stock and cut them also with matching dies.

I added some leaves cut from Old Olive card stock.

I finish it off with a gold pearl in center of one flower.

Hope you have a wonderful Friday and thanks

for stopping by!

Purple Easter Tulips

I designed this card for a friend to do some swaps 

for an event and loved it for my March class and Easter card.

I started with a Gorgeous Grape base.

I added the Purple Posy ran through the Subtles embossing folder

for the background.

I cut the rectangle frame from Heirloom Frames dies and ran it through

 the Stome embossing folder for my texture.

I cut the 2 1/4" by 3 1/4" piece of white to add behind.

I stamped it in Granny Apple Green with the stems from 

the Timeless Tulip set but adding behind frame.

I stamped the Tulips on white in Highland Heather ink and punched them 

with the matching Tulip Builder punch.

Same for the leaves but used the Granny Apple Green ink.

I popped up the tulips and leaves outside the frame.

I added the polka dot ribbon bow in white for more of a spring feel.

I stamped the sentiment on white in Gorgeous Grape ink

and cut it with the Ornate Frames die.

I love all the textures of the card and of course,

all the purple!

Thanks for stopping by and happy day!

PP479 Noble Peacock With Foils

I decided to use some of my foil and paper from the 

Noble Peacock collection that I seem to be hoarding

for the sketch challenge this week over at 

Thepaperplayers.blogspot.com 

I started with the Very Vanilla base and added a

strip of Pretty Peacock foil to the top and a strip of 

Old Olive foil to bottom. These are cut 1 3/4" by 4".

I used a piece of Noble Peacock specialty paper in 

Blueberry Bushel in the middle.

I then cut the scallop rectangle from Stitched So Sweetly dies

in Very Vanilla card stock.

I stamped on vanilla my peacock from Royal Peacock stamp set

in Blueberry Bushel ink. 

I stamped the overlay in Old Olive ink.

I colored it with Old Olive and Pretty Peacock Stampin Blends.

I cut it out with the matching dies called Detailed Peacock dies.

I popped it on the scallop rectangle.

Then I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee set 

in Pretty Peacock ink on vanilla and cut it with a label

from Stitched So sweetly dies.

I finished it off with some Noble Peacock rhinestones 

in Blueberry Bushel. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

CTS360 AND FF0053 Timeless Friendship

Such a fun sketch over at casethissketch.blogspot.com

and it made me think of the flowers from page 38 

in the new mini SU! catalog using the Timeless Tropical bundle.

I choose to use blue flowers, green leaves and brown (kraft) paper

along with a friendship sentiment per the challenge over at 

festivefridaychallenge.com this week.

I started with the kraft card stock cut 4" by 5 1/4" and ran thought the 

Coastal Weave embossing folder. 

I cut many Pretty Peacock and Pool Party flowers with the 

In The Tropics dies plus the leaves in Old Olive. 

I added them to the back ground and then layered all on Peacock base.

I stamped in Peacock ink the sentiment from Timeless Tropical

in a strip of white card stock to finish it off. 

I was tempted to add bling but liked the natural look.

Will have to use my kraft card stock again with the suite!

Have a lovely Tuesday and 

thanks for stopping by!

FMS423 Positive Thank You

I wanted to use Very Vanilla which I have been neglecting lately.

I have a vanilla base and then a piece of vanilla ran through the 

Beads & Baubles embossing folder.

I used the Positive Thoughts set for the Old Olive flower and the 

Pretty Peacock stem and cut them with the matching dies

called Nature's Thoughts.

 I also used the dies to cut small leaves stems in both of those colors. 

I added a strip of Old Olive card stock, Peacock ribbon, and 

a die cut in Pretty Peacock foil.

 Behind all is an oval in vanilla.

I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink on vanilla from 

Timeless tropical set and cut with the Ornate Frames dies.

 I finished off with some sequins in Peacock from a past PP (paper pumpkin) kit.

I really like these colors and all worked well with this bundle

Have a wonderful Monday!

GDP228 Merci Cherry Blossoms

I did some casing of the designer over at global-design-project.com

using the colors, sets/dies, floral and a little on the layout. 

I stamped the Very Vanilla card stock in Sahara Sand 

with the script stamp from  Parisian Beauty for the background.

I stamped the blooms in Memento Tuxedo Black

from Forever Blossoms set on Very Vanilla

 and cut them with matching dies from Cherry Blossoms dies. 

I also cut with the Parisian dies the sentiment in Basic Black.

To color the blossoms and the leaves, I sponged on

Rich Razzleberry ink as well as Mint Macaron. 

I added pearls to the centers 

and layered all on a Rich Razzleberry base.

Hope you can play along and 

thanks for stopping by!
