Thinking Of A Colorful Tree

 

I am playing around with my Beauty Of The Earth DSP along with the Beauty Of Friendship bundle. I used a piece of blue sky paper from the Beauty Of The Earth DSP and layered to a piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock and then a Merry Merlot base. I cut the tree in Cinnamon Cider card stock and the "leaves" with another print of the Beauty Of The Earth DSP with the Beautiful Trees dies along with the Merry Merlot birdie. I stamped the splatter on in Merry Merlot stamped off once to make lighter. I also added some ground with the stamp in Cinnamon Cider. I then added some champagne rhinestones around. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock  from the same set in Merry Merlot and cut it out with the label die from Potted Succulents dies.  

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Everything In A Jar

 

I am using another floral image I colored last weekend from the Jar Of Flowers stamp. I stamped the image on white card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with the Stampin Blends markers in Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Cajun Craze. I hand snipped them out and popped up on the jar I stamped from same set and punched out with the Jar Punch. I added some water with a stamp in Pool Party ink. I wrapped some Crushed Curry crinkle ribbon around that is now retired and popped the images on the Scallop Contours die in white. I had first stamped the sentiment from Color & Contour set in Memento ink and did some splashes from same set with the Pool Party ink. I layered all on apiece of the In Good Taste DSP and a white base. 

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

GDP303 Hello Jar Of Flowers

 

Great theme over at global-design-project.com this week as we all have floral images in our craft room!  I sat down this week and felt like doing some coloring so I had stamped the floral images from Jar of Flowers, which I have not touched in a while, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them what I wanted with my Stampin Blends markers. I cut them out by hand set aside to use on projects sometime.  

Then Monday when I saw the challenge this challenge I grabbed my Pretty Flowers embossing folder and this flower bunch colored with Fresh Freesia, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green blends to make a card. You get that loads of flowers from the embossed image I ran in Fresh Freesia and layered on a white base. I cut the white rectangle from Scalloped Contours dies and the tag from Ornate Frames dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Fern set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I also stamped the Jar and stems in same ink on white card stock. I colored the stems in Granny Apple Green and stamped the water in Pool Party all from the Jar of Flowers set. 

I punched it out with the matching Jar punch. I added the Pale Papaya bow and a pastel pearl to finish it off. 

Have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP552 Friends & Seashells

 

I have wanted to play with the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle plus the matching Seashells 3D again and Joanne's theme challenge for the seaside over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com is perfect timing.

I started with the background I cut from pearlescent paper and embossed with the 3D embossing folder. I blended with sponge daubers 3 colors- Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party inks. I layered it on a piece of Pacific Point card stock and a Very Vanilla base.   I then stamped the shells on Very Vanilla card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with the sponge daubers in same colors I used for background plus Gray Granite ink. I hand snipped a few and other s I cut with their matching die from Seaside Seashells dies. I then stamped the sentiment in Memento on Very Vanilla card stock and cut it with the Tailor Made Tags dies. I tied some Pool Party 3/8" sheer ribbon on to keep it light.

Love the shimmer of the paper and these colors together!

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

Thinking Of You With Beauty Of The Earth

 

I did some casing from the wonderful SU! artisan Angela Meiritz-Reid over at stampingbeauty.blogspot.com for this Beauty Of The Earth suite card. You can see her card here.  I decided not to use the bark embossing folder but the Tasteful Textile embossing folder on the blue piece of the designer paper called Beauty Of The Earth. I layered it on a Misty Moonlight base. I then cut another piece of the designer paper but this time in a leaves print with the Basic Borders dies. I has an uneven scallop edging. I cut the tree from the Beautiful Trees dies with white card stock.  I also cut the bird from the same dies in white and sponged some Misty Moonlight ink lightly over him. I grabbed some retired blue/silver twine to added behind my sentiment which was stamped from the Beauty of Friendship set in VersaMark ink on Misty Moonlight card stock and heat embossed in white emboss powder. I cut it out with the label die from the same Beautiful Trees dies. 

Love how it turned out and will make some more in other colors!

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful Wednesday!

Birthday Daisies

 

I made this card for my friend Cheri's birthday a few weeks ago...she loves daisies! I stamped the large Daisy Garden background stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black on the white piece of card stock. I then colored it in with the Just Jade, So Saffron and Mango Melody Stampin Blends markers. I ran some Just Jade ribbon around and layered it on a piece of Just Jade card stock and a then a Mango Melody base. 

I stamped the sentiment from Shaded Summer set in black ink on white card stock and punched it out along with a scallop Mango Melody oval with the Double Oval punch. I finished it off with some Just Jade dots plus a gold bee on the top from the Bumblebee Trinkets.  

Hope you have a fab Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

A Hydrangea Birthday

 

I made this special fold card for my friend Joann's birthday a few weeks ago. She loves purple just like me and the Hydrangea suite as well. So I grabbed some of the designer paper I still have been I bought so much of it and layered one print of Hydrangea Hill DSP on a piece of Highland Heather card stock. The card stock is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and the designer paper cut 1/8" smaller. I then cut the white card stock at 8 1/2' x 3 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". I stamped the sentiment inside in Gorgeous Grape ink from the Hydrangea Haven set. I also stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment in same ink color on white and punched out with the Double Oval punch. I then stamped the large hydrangea with stems and leaves in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock and used the two step stamps in the set to color in with Highland Heather and Old Olive ink. I used the matching Hydrangea dies to cut it out. I popped on a Gorgeous Grape ribbon bow to finish it off. The front of the white is layered with the a piece of Highland Heather card stock cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I also cut another piece of the Hydrangea Hill DSP to add under the flower. 

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