Flora for Mom

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all! Today I wanted to share a quick post on my other card I made for this past Wednesday's sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

I made the flowers on my card using Heartfelt Creations beautiful Flora Grande stamps. they are airbrushed using copics, and then spritzing with gold glimmer mist, and I added some beads to the centers. I had some ribbon that matched perfect, but didn't care for it, as it had wire in it. Now thinking about it, I should have pulled the wire out....sheeesh , always figure it out after the fact.....LOL hahah oh well. For the leaves I used Lumiere, and just painted it on them. super easy!

The design paper I used is American Crafts Dear Lizzy line, 5th and frolic. Love the papers in this collection. 

The sticker that says Mother is from DCWV

 The ribbon for the bow is Old and from an estate, so im not sure where its from. The gingham checked ribbon is from RRR, and the other one, is the one I wanted to make my bow out of....hehehehe

Thank you for looking and have a lovely weekend!

hugs to all,

Cheryl

 

SCS Sketch Challenge/Bella Rose

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all!  Today's card is for Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge that is hosted by Cathy this week. Love this sketch! Thank you Cathy!



 So this is my second card for Cathy's sketch. I played around making my first card yesterday morning, and then uploaded it last night. However once I uploaded it, I decided to make another card "Bella Rose" I just LOVE this stamp, as I LOVE roses!!!

When I lived in San Jose California back in 1994 we had over 22 rose tree's and bushes at the house we rented. I fell in love with roses even more after moving into that home. Thank God for my Aunt Mary who knew all about Roses, as she was a Master Gardener. Anytime I had questions, she was always there to help, even sent me a book on how to take care of roses! Sure do miss her!Anyways just had to tell you a little about what made me love Roses so much! So now onto my card....hehehe

My card was pretty simple to make. As I cut my Blue shimmer Bazzill card stock 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 next the design paper was cut at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 and then sewn together. For my panel I cut it and layered the same. Using design paper from Echo Park "For the Record2". The Beautiful Bella rose was stamped in memento black ink, and colored with copics. The rose was colored with copics B99,BG000,B45. The leaves were colored with G99,YG05,YG03,G24. I then cut out the rose.

Ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Love all the ribbons Bonnie carries! Lastly the little brad I added is from American Crafts Warehouse Sale. I bought them back in 2013 wow, seems like it was just yesterday!

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

 

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all! Todays card was designed for the Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge that is Hosted by Allison this week. Love this weeks sketch, thank you Allison!

I made this card using the DARLING New CottageCutz Birthday Release, and CottageCutz Basics.

On my card I cut out the CottageCutz Stitched Oval die in a pink card stock, and then distressed it. Next I cut the CottageCutz Oval one, and distressed the inside with a light pink. The brown frame is the CottageCutz Fancy Victorian Frame. These are all layered together to give a nice layered look.

Next I cut the Stitched Cupcake, Laurel Wreath, and Happy Birthday Cupcake all in White Card Stock, and then colored with copic markers. These are the colors I used to color all the pieces. RV21,RV11,RV34E29,E57,G24,YG03  I also added some fun glitter to the heart on the cupcake. Love the look of it~

Lastly I used some vintage lace, some seam binding, and some beautiful pink gingham ribbon. I added a button, and some half backed pearl type things....heehe

O Holy Night

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!

Today's card was designed using CottageCutz Candles Snowglobe from the Christmas Release.

 

 For this card I used a dotted grey card stock, Pink shimmer card stock, and white for the border. I cut my die cut in the pink card stock, and then dusted it a bit. The ribbon I used is vintage seam binding and is a multi colored one. I did add some sewing to my card, seems like forever since I have sewn on a card. I think with the holidays I didn't spend to much time crafting...hehehe

 

I hope you enjoyed my post today, and thank you all for stopping by!

 

Hugs,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Holiday Candle

Hello everyone , today I wanted to share a card I made for the Scrapping Cottage &  Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge this week. Super easy one here,as this card took me seriously under 15 minutes to make!

On my card for today, I cut the scalloped background piece, and then cut a piece of scrap design paper at an angle. Next I added some ribbon to border the 2 different shades. and hot glued a big bow I made. For the main image I cut out a scalloped oval, and added some vintage trim I got from stash. Next I cut the CottageCutz Holiday Candles in the same grey embossed card stock that I used on my card. Super easy!!!

Happy New Year to all!
