I have a sweet watercolor card to share today.  It’s soft and romantic and completely out of my comfort zone!  I don’t make a lot of flower cards but I love, love how this one came out 🙂

The images are stamped in Archival Black ink on watercolor paper.  The watercolor washes are in Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo, Soft Sky and Sweet Sugarplum.  Embellishments include small pearls, White Perfect Accents, Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes and Metallics Sequins.  The finished card front is popped up on a base of Whisper White.  Fast and easy and gorgeous!

We always need a sweet birthday card for someone.  This card features the super cute Cupcakes & Carousels Suite.  I can’t get enough of this color combo and these images.  The color pops just speak to me 🙂 and the project whips up in no time at all!

The carousel image is stamped in Bermuda Bay on the Whisper White card front.  The white banner is cut 3/4″ wide to fit the “Birthday” sentiment.  This banner is layered onto a 1″ wide banner cut from one of the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack sheets.  The card is embellished with the Sprinkles Embellishments and a thread pulled from the burlap ribbon.

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the wonderful Dani Dziama’s blog.

Today I have a different take on love and the Sending Love Suite.  I combined the images and dies from the love suite with the colors of the Cupcakes & Carousels Suite.  I think the results are sweet and romantic and a little different than your typical Valentines colors.  Yum!

This project can be as simple or as complicated as you feel like making it 🙂

This little beauty is up in my craft room & I just love gazing at it!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the wonderful Dani Dziama’s blog.

Today I am using one of the Sale-a-Bration Fab Freebie sets!  I love the “thank you” image and how sweet and simple the set is.

First the “thank you” image is stamped in Archival Black on watercolor paper.  This ink stands up really well to watercoloring 🙂  Next is a wash of Mint Macaron over the sentiment.  The rest of the card features a frame made with the Nesting Squares and a sheet of the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack, a Mint Macaron Doily, a swirl of Gold Thread all under the rest of the sentiment stamped in Calypso Coral.  So easy to put together and so soft and pretty!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the wonderful Dani Dziama’s blog.

Welcome 2017 and welcome back to our fantastic group of bloggers!  We took a little time off during the holidays but we are super excited to be back and sharing fun stuff with you!

My project features one of my absolute faves from the Occasions Catalog that went live on January 4th.  If you haven’t checked this catalog out yet, you are totally missing out!  Super fun stuff inside 🙂  I am totally in love with the Sending Love Suite on page 14.  I made a cute canvas that will become part of my January/February home decor.

The tiny canvas came from a craft store along with the tiny easel that is painted black.  Many of the little goodies added to the canvas were stamped with the Sealed with Love stamp set or die cut with the Love Notes Framelits.  There is a lot of Real Red in these pieces, it is set off with a black flower die cut with the May Flowers Framelits and a gold doilie.

I know this will be a cherished piece in my home & I hope you love it too!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 84

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the wonderful Dani Dziama’s blog.  We have some fun holiday treats for you today!

AAA hosted another fantastic “Cards for the Troops” event at work last week.  We made nearly 90 cards and employees put sweet messages inside each card.  We will be distributing them at a local Veteran’s Home this holiday season.

We used the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and coordinating punch.  It made creating 90 cards easy peasy and the card is so cute!

The base is Whisper White accented with a Real Red strip and a little peek of Candy Cane Christmas DSP.   The reindeer image is stamped on Crumb Cake in Early Espresso and punched out.  His nose is blinged out with a Red Glimmer paper circle!  Cute accents include Emerald Envy Metallic Thread, Rhinestones, a circle cut with the Stitched Shapes die, and a circle embossed with the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The card is fast and easy to assemble but packs a nice creative punch using these fun tools and embellishments.

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the wonderful Dani Dziama’s blog.  We have some fun holiday treats for you today!

I hope you have had a wonderful holiday weekend with family and friends.  I got some decorating done around the house and some fun crafting too!  I was inspired to make some 3 x 3 gift tags with the Tin of Tags stamp set.  I am so in love with these fonts!  This set just makes my heart go pitter patter!  These were so easy and took about 15 minutes to put together,  I am definitely going to continue with this theme and make a pile for my gifts this year.

The base of each card is a 6 x 3 piece of Whisper White.  The next part that was made assembly line were the watercolor pieces, they are cut 2.75 x 2.75 and each one features a swoosh of color:  Real Red, Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim.  Next up an assembly line of heat embossed sentiments in gold, silver and red glitter.  The final steps were adding embellishments to each card top and popping onto the base.

He’s making a list….

I have a fun card to share today featuring Mr. Santa and his list.  I just love this die cut…so many fun things you can do with this!  I elected to make the let the die cut be the star and just added a few fun elements to set it off.

The base of the card front is a piece of Candy Cane Lane DSP cut to fit the whole card front (5 1/2 x 4 1/4).  Layered over the DSP and under Santa is a piece of vellum that gives a softer look to the DSP under the die cut.  Add ons are the cute list image stamped in Early Espresso and fussy cut.  The list is wrapped in Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine and tied off with a tiny bow.  “Merry” is die cut with the Christmas Greetings Thinlit in Real Red.  The “Christmas!” portion of the sentiment is masked to exclude the “Merry” on the stamp and stamped in Crumb Cake on a 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White.  The right edge of the banner wraps around on the right side and goes behind the card front.

Greetings from Santa Stampin' Up

It’s hard to believe it is really almost Christmas again!  I hope you are enjoying time with your family this week for Thanksgiving and maybe getting in a little crafting too!

 

A time for peace…

It’s definitely a time for peace, the holidays are coming and it is truly a time of year to set aside our differences and love one another 🙂

I am totally in love with the Star of Light stamp set and coordinating Starlight Thinlits.  I think the star image is so delicate and lovely!

This card features Marina Mist and Sahara Sand ink.  The swoosh is stamped in Marina Mist on the card front and accented with Sahara Sand stars.  The main image is stamped in Marina Mist and die cut with the large star cut out.  Another piece of Sahara Sand is die cut and layered behind the main star.  “Peace” is die cut from Marina Mist and stapled to the card front.  Add ons are gold thread, rhinestones and gold foil stars.

It was a perfect fall day here in Colorado,  the leaves are turning and Facebook is full of everyone’s lovely pics of the leaves.  Here in my stamp room we are moving on to Christmas, I can hardly believe it!!! Honestly, the holidays are fast upon us and before we know it 2017 will be here!  This time of year seems to fly by at super speed!

Today I am sharing a beautiful holiday card featuring the Christmas Pines stamp set and the coordinating Pretty Pines die set.  I am obsessed with these delicate and lovely dies!

The base of the card starts with Whisper White embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder.  The sentiment is gold embossed on vellum and die cut with a circle die.   The branches are cut in Wild Wasabi and Garden Green, the pinecones are die cut in Early Espresso and the sweet bow is die cut in Cherry Cobbler.  All the parts are layered onto the card front over gold thread and stapled down.  Final touches are rhinestones and gold metallic enamel shapes.
