So Grateful for you!

 

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all! Wow its hard to believe we are already in March!! YIKES time sure does fly as we get older....hehehe

 

Todays card is "So Grateful for you" created using Heartfelt Creations Beautiful flowers Dies & Design paper. Absolutely LOVE their flower stamps and dies!



 

I used the Vintage Floret Collection by Heartfelt Creations. LOVE this paper, and love the vintage shabby chic truck. I have always enjoyed working with their stamps and dies, and felt I needed to start bringing out all my old stamp collections. I have soooo MANY of them...

 

 

Flowers- were created using Rose Creations Die, I just used the matching dp and cut out. I used weathered wood distress ink by Tim Holtz to dust my flowers, and added some Mist in Silver Sugar over the tops. Now the centers were done using Vintage Glitter Glass in "600 Indian Summer) love the look of these!

Butterfly-Cut in white card stock, and then airbrushed with R11 & distressed with weathered wood ink. I added some of the glitter glass to the butterfly as well (600 Indian Summer) I also added some dots with the viva pearl pen!

Leaves- I left them in the die and then dusted them with Shabby Shutters distress ink. Gives a 2 tone effect for those.  They were cut using the Rose Creation Dies as well.

HC Lace Die-was cut using white card stock, super simple and no fussing to get out small pieces!

Bow-My bow was created with 3/8" satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

Sewing was added to each layered panel!

Try it on Tuesdays/Feminine & Fancy

SC582 sketch challenge

 

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all!

Today my card was created for Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge. Absolutely LOVE this sketch as it has lots of layers, and I love layers!!! I made this card last night before bed, and it took me about 35 minutes to make, as I had 8 flowers prepped, and 2 that needed to be done. 

 



I love when I have extra flowers cut out, and it made me start thinking, that maybe when watching a movie I should bring up my cutter and start cutting them, to have ready to airbrush,paint,dust, or do whatever to. It really makes the card come together much faster if you have them prepped like I did :) hehehe
Anyways I used Heartfelt Creations Stamp sentiment, and then the Posy Patch die for the flowers, They were stamped but you can hardly tell, as I used Creative Inspiration Paints on the flowers to try to match up with the dp.  I used the color Burnt Clay! I then did my glass technique on them. LOVe it, and then added some pearls to the centers. these are a little different, s they have some glitter or something on them. Not sure what it is, but they are pretty! The branches are from Martha Stewarts punch, and the doily is from Cheery Lynn Dies!

The dp is from Heartfelt Creations too, and I added some sewing to each panel. The sketch is available on SCS here if you would like to join in on this fun challenge!

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Sweeet Friendship

Hello everyone,
Today I have created a card for a few different challenges. 1st up is Splitcoaststampers Color challenge, Next is Cheery Lynn #223 Flourish theme Challenge, and then Really Reasonable Ribbons #135 Celebrate Theme challenge(Friendship) is what I chose for this one.

SCS CC572 So for the Color challenge we were to use Red, Green, and 2 different blues. I did the red flowers,green flourishes, and then the blue card stocks, that are 2 different shades. I also used HC design paper that I had left over.

Cheery Lynns Flourish theme, I used 2 flourishes for my flowers to create a vine for around the Doily. The Doily used is my FAVORITE one from Cheery Lynn and is called French Pastry!

Really Reasonable Ribbons Celebrate Theme challenge. I wanted to make a friendship card to send out. So I thought Friendship would be the theme on this celebration.

Card-
Base- measures 6 x 6 so I cut the black card stock 6 x 12" and scored at 6". Next I cut my darker of the 2 blues 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" then the dp for that layer was cut at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Glued together and then sewn. For my smaller panel, I did the same
Flowers - were stamped in distressed ink, airbrushed with copics Red, and pink, to create this color. Next I distressed the edges with fired brick, and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give the glass look. Love making these. Lastly I added some vintage pearls to the centers in different sizes.
Doily-Cut in black, then I used a spellbinders circle to cut the layer on top. I stamped Our Daily Bread Designs Stamp in memento black ink, and distressed the edges of the circle in Faded Jean.

Ribbon is from my stash!
Supplies Used:
Heartfelt Creations posy stamps and dies , Vintage pearls, embossing powder, heat gun, hot glue, glue pad, memento black ink, ODBD stamps, Ribbon, Cheery Lynn Doily , Spellbinders , sewing machine, ATG gun. Glass leaves

I really enjoyed creating my card for today! hope you enjoyed my post!

Hello everyone, today's card is using the Beautiful CottageCutz Dies from the Birthday Release from the Scrapping Cottage! Today will be my last post for the Scrapping Cottage as I have decided to step down. I enjoyed working with the CottageCutz dies and will continue to share them in some of my creations, but I really want to work on my stamping as I truly have missed it!

Products used to create my card are listed below :)
Lacey Rose die, and airbrushed it using copic markers. For the centers I used a glitter, and some old pearls. I did cut these out in white card stock, and cut 4 of them, so I could layer for a 3-D look

Butterfly Lisbeth was cut in a pink card stock, and a blue pattern paper, layered and I did add some pearls to it as well.

Basics Rectangle stitched frames-  I use the basics to cut the white, and red pieces, I also used the Rectangle for the blue polka dot layer too.

ODBDSLC270-Grandma/Happy Mothers Day

Hello everyone,

Today I am super excited to be playing along in Our Daily Bread Designs challenge. This week is my 1st week in a LONG time since I have played in any blog challenges :)

 

So for my card I figured I would make a Mothers Day card for my Mom from the Kids! They will give this one to her :) I did flip this sketch to the side, as I wanted to be able to place these stamps on and around the oval!

Instructions-

Card Base- first I cut my card base 6" x 12" score at6" , next cut my pink card stock at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", and then the wine Polka Dot DP at 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". for the next layer with the HEARTS - cut 4 1/4" x a little under 5" , then the dp at 4" x 4 3/4". Lastly add sewing to all

 

Stamps- I stamped my sentiment in memento black ink 1st, and then used the spellbinders oval doily, taping it, so it would not move when running through the machine. Then I dusted around the spellbinders frame, to give a distress look using antique linen.  Next I stamped my flower stamp and colored with copic markers RV21,RV11,RV23,RV34,V91,R39,YG03,YG95,G24.

 

Embellishments- I made my bow with Really Reasonable Ribbon Velvet, and attached using hot glue, next I added a vintage button. Lastly 3 half back pearls are placed in the upper right hand corner.

It sucks to get old

Hello everyone, Super excited to share my card today, as I have been working on using lots of my OLD stamps! Next I need to work on mailing out cards...YEP as normally I give those in person, well not anymore! Its my goal this year!



So this card here was designed for Splitcoaststampers Way to use it challenge " HUMOR" was the challenge for us. Use humor on your card. Well long story short, it took me about 2 hours to find a stamp among all my stamps....LOL and this one , I didn't even know I Had! LOL hahaha Card took me roughly about25 minutes to create, super simple I tell ya! Also made for Really Reasonable Ribbons challenge #135 "Celebrate with Ribbon or Trim!

 

I used some a 5 x 10 white card stock, scored in the middle at 5. Next I took some black scrap card stock, and cut the piece down to 4  3/4" x 4 3/4", then the dp at 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". Next the center piece I had left on my table and it measured 4 1/4" x 3" so I used it, and then cut the dp piece for it @ 4" x 2 3/4", then did my sewing. Next I cut the spellbinders frames out, and stamped my 2 unity images and colored them. super easy and fast to make, as this card is pretty simple. The Heartfelt Creations die piece was already cut, as I had cut it last week, but didn't use it. So figured I would on this card. My bow is created with really reasonable ribbon, and took seconds to create. I did add some buttons from my stash to the bow, and some stickles to the sucker.

Supplies used:
Unity stamps/ Itty bitty
American Crafts/Pebbles dp "Ever After"
Really Reasonable Ribbon/polka dot black and white, and pink satin
American Crafts /Card stock black and Bazzill pink
Heartfelt Creations / Die cut
Embellishments/Buttons from my stash and stickles
