Celebrating you

Hello! Hope this finds you all doing well.  Today's card is one that came about as I was playing around with new stuff.

This flower set is from My Favorite Things and it also has coordinating dies.

I stamped the solid flowers and leaves in Fresh pigment ink (from my LSS) and then added the outline die cuts.

Burlap ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl across the pond. I chose to use something other than white as a card base for this one and I think the kraft looks pretty good. I did add some stitching around the border of it to add more dimension. Die is from Lil' Inkers.


Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolored leaves

Hello. Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

The leaf stamps are from Technique Tuesday and stamped onto water color paper. I used my new Zig Kuretake real brush markers to watercolor and then fussy cut them out.

Mesh ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl via the UK.  I actually added this on afterwards because it looked so plain otherwise. Like the texture it adds.

Birthday Wishes vertical sentiment is from Gina K Designs and the wood dots are from My Minds Eye.

This is going to go into my masculine birthday card stash. I really like how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday wishes

Hello! Below is the sketch I followed from The Paper Players this week. I tried to be a bit different and embellished up my tag this time around.

Tag die is from Papertrey, Ink and it cut out using linen cardstock.

I used my Misti to add the stamped border on the left. I've had this stamp for a while now and cannot remember who makes it. I used gumdrop green MFT colorbox ink on it.

The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. I picked up the paper roses from The Ribbon Girl and used glue dots to adhere them onto the tag. Leaf punch from Martha Stewart used for the leaves and I thought it needed something "more" so I added the branch into the mix. It's a die from Memory Box and cut from brown cardstock.

The green ribbon was a sample from some company I ordered from. I like the sparkly side to it.

That's it for today - thanks for dropping by!

Birthday tag

Hello everyone. I saw the tag that Darnell created for the Tag You're It! challenge and was inspired to play along.  This also plays into the Wednesday "Get in Shape" challenge over at Simon Says Stamps.

I used the round tag die #4 from Papertrey, Ink to cut out the sparkly purple cardstock and a piece of vellum.

Sentiment and flower stamps are also from PTI. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine black ink then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Flowers are done with Marvy markers and the huff method. I was actually surprised at how well the flowers came out.

Purple bakers twine is from the Ribbon Girl who is located over across the pond.

Girly thank you

Hello! Here is my take on this week's challenge over at The Paper Players. It's clean and simple girly thanks.

Flower stamps and dies are from Simon Says Stamp. I stamped the flowers in Pink Lemonade from Fresh Ink by Impress Rubber Stamps. I used Copic Opaque white in the centers so that they would stand out a bit. The flowers are also popped up using thick foam tape mini squares.

Leaf die is from Memory Box and it's cut apart here and there to tuck under the flowers.

That wonderful pearl border in the back ground is from The Ribbon Girl in the UK. Got that as a part of my winnings from Less is More. Designer paper is from Making Memories that I found in my stash of papers. Rustic white cardstock from PTI used as the card base. Thank you sentiment is from MFT.

OK - Back to laundry. Thanks for popping in!
