  • Love Birds

    A card for that pair of love birds on your list..perfect for wedding, anniversary or engagement. Features some beautiful new die cuts & high contrast color combo. Change up the colors to match those special occasions.

    A big congrats to Andastra, the newest Featured Stamper (FS853)! She has such gorgeous pages & I chose THIS page to case. I love the rectangular photo as the main element so I kept that & the flower embellishments. But I turned it into a card & used different dies & colors. I wanted the horizontal element but couldn’t work it in so I subbed the layered Love greeting.

    My card features all die cut elements. I die cut the lg royal blue panel & smaller white panel w/ the square hole edge die set. I used a bright orange for the bird cage & Love dies. Only the flowers/leaves were used behind the birdcage panel. I love how open they are & let the blue show through.

    The blue birds & cage were popped up just a bit as well as the white panel they’re on & the Love greeting.

    Thanks
    so much for stopping by!

  • Colorful Day

    A bright card filled w/ colorful fuchsia daisies in a vellum vase. Perfect for a birthday, a special friend’s special day, Mother’s Day.

    We’re visiting PMG for Two & their Pinterest Board for the Inspiration Challenge this week. So many pretty things there..I chose THIS for the very bright, colorful flowers.

    I used 2 different sets of flowers for my fuchsia daisies. After coloring & die cutting them I added a sheet of very thin double sided adhesive to a small piece of lt blue vellum & die cut it. The centers of one set of flowers were too dark so I stamped & fussy cut the bigger centers from the other set & attached them on top. I arranged them then attached the vellum vase on top.

    I had a narrowish strip of designer paper that had the colors I wanted so I used it on the left side & attached it on top of a bigger fuchsia panel. The greeting was stamped onto a white circle & added above the flowers.

    Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:

  • Just Because

    a “just because” card for a birthday, get well or just to say hi. Features a blue butterfly & split panel circle w/ die cut holographic leaves & flowers.


    A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS852). She has a big , beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the split panel circle in variegated shades & the butterfly w/ the die cut outline leaves, so I kept those. But I used different images, dies & colors & instead of gold I used holographic silver.

    After I die cut the circle out of white, I laid strips of turquoise, teal & blue onto a piece of some Glad stick & seal wrap then die cut the same circle out of it. After peeling off the wrap, I cut the strips narrower to allow some white from the base circle to show through. The butterfly was colored w/ 3 Copics (BG07, BG10 & Bg23) & die cut. The leaves & flowers were die cut out of a silver holographic card stock & arranged under & on top of the circle.

    I left most of the “insert” pieces inside the leaves just because. The circle was popped up w/ foam.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
