PP445 Your Friendship

Love this card..especially the layout.

I cased it from a card by my friend Linda Callahan.

I stamped the birds from Free As A Bird set on white 

card stock I cut at an angle. I stamped it along with the

sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the 

birds as well as the flowers with my Stampin Blends markers.

The birds were in Daffodil Delight and Ivory.

 The leaves in Granny Apple Green and the flowers in 

Highland Heather. A little Ivory on the branch, too.

I hand snipped the two flowers on the point of the white.

I layered it on a piece of Bird Ballad DSP in Daffodil

and then on a Heather base.

I really like coloring these birds.

 Need to try lots more colors on them!

Hope you can play along with using this fun color combo over at 

thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

FMS391 Dreams Soar

I just got the new Above the Clouds bundle and

so it worked perfect for this layout over at 

freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com this week.

I have a white base that I stamped the sentiment in

Memento Tuxedo Black. 

I added the strip of Calypso Coral and

a stitched rectangle of Balmy Blue.

I then stamped the clouds on white in Balmy Blue

 and hand snipped them out. 

I stamped the Coral balloon on white card stock

and the top balloon on Pineapple Punch card stock

with Black ink. I punched them with the 

matching Hot Air Balloon punch.

I stamped the baskets in Black on white

 and Crumb Cake card stock.

They are part of the punch, too.

I finished it off with a rhinestone on one balloon

and a black/white twine bow on the other.

Hope you can play along this week with the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Harry Says Happy Birthday

Harry The Octopus is back to say Happy Birthday!

I wanted to use up some of the Tranquil Textures DSP

which retired this week for the background.

I layered it with Night of Navy card stock and then 

on a Soft Sea Foam base. I stamped Harry from Sea Of Textures set 

in Navy ink and cut him with the matching dies called Under The Sea.

I cut a Navy oval and stamped it with the netting stamp

with White Craft ink. I added the sea grass cut in 

Sea Foam from the Smooth Sailing dies.

I stamped the sentiment from Very Vintage 

in Fresh Fig ink on the white banner.

I added a navy dot to finish it off.

Hope you have a wonderful day and

thanks for stopping by!

Class Gift Bags

I used the Jars of Love set and matching dies

with the Lemon Lime Twist gingham paper

on the purple bags I found the dollar store.

I made these for a class I had in the middle of May.

Love the beach scene with the Beach Happy set.

I also used the chair from Seasonal Layers dies. 

I made these for my card classes this week!

Hope you have a wonderful day and

thanks for stopping by!

Hello Daisies

I sent this to my mom last week and hopefully 

it made her smile.

I layered a piece of the Happiness Blooms DSP on the 

Night of Navy base and then added the frame of white over.

I cut the center out of the white card stock with the 

stitched rectangle dies and stamped the sentiment from 

To A Wild Rose on in Navy. 

I added the daisy image after heat embossing

the flower on Navy in white emboss powder and punching with 

the Daisy punch. I added the small Call Me Clover circle in the middle 

plus a pearl to finish it off.

Hope you have a happy day and thanks

for stopping by!

To A Wild Rose Happy Birthday

I started this last card for classes this week with 

the Soft Sea Foam base. Love this To A Wild Rose bundle.

I stamped in the same color the flowers for a background.

I added the detailed die behind in Purple Posy card stock

cut with the Wild Rose die. I stamped the flower on white card stock

in Gorgeous Grape ink and did the second step 

stamp to color it in with Highland Heather.

I added some Early Espresso ink to the middle of the flower.

I stamped the leaves two step both in Mint Macaron ink.

I cut those with the matching dies.

I stamped the sentiment from All That You Are in Espresso ink

and punched it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch.

I added pearls to finish it off.

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks

for stopping by!

PP444 Relax Under The Palms

I had wanted to make a card using these palms trees in a row and

Ann's summer vacay challenge was the perfect time.

I used a piece of white card stock for the background and stamped

 the tree trunk in Soft Suede three times from the Beach Happy set.

I added sand with the Sahara Sand ink on the bottom.

I cut the chair out with the Wood Textures DSP from the 

Seasonal Layers dies. I stamped the sentiment from Beach Happy

in Poppy Parade in white circle and popped it up under the trees.

I stamped the palms in Call Me Clover on white card stock and snipped them out.

I then popped them up on the trees. I just had to add some 

gold metallic pearls so they would look like coconuts!!!

I placed my background on a piece of Soft Suede card stock

I corner rounded before laying on the Sahara Sand base.

I love this scene and next Sunday I will be on my way to Sanibel Island 

where we vacay every year! Time to Relax!
