Loves Rubberstamps Pink and Girly Card

Hi everyone hope you are having a fabulous week so far. We are in for a big blizzard here today in the maritimes, so it should be an interesting day.  My post today is for Loves Rubberstamps Challenge this week, which has a theme of  Pink and Girly. This should be an easy challenge for you all, so I hope you will be able to play along with us.

Our sponsor this week is PPinkydolls, and they were kind enough to allow the design team to choose a digi to use. The digi I decided to use is called Lonely Sisi and I so love her. I colored her using copics and Spectrum Noir Markers. I then used Spellbinders Die Classic Ovals to cut her out, and then used Distress Ink Worn Lipstick on the center.  For the card shape I used Martha Stewarts Punch around the Page Double Arches, I then added a mat using Spellbinders Die Decorative Labels One, although you can't really see it from the angle of the pic. Next I layered with Spellbinders Opulent Ovals, Memory Box die Jasper Leaves and the next layer is my image. To the side I used Memory Box Die Trellis and then I added a bunch of leaves using Poppystamps Leafy Sprig Die.  Next I cut out a bunch of flowers using  Memory Box Fabulous Phlox Die with white cardstock. I used Distress Ink Worn Lipstick to the flowers and then sprayed them with water and wrinkled the edges. I then left them to dry. Once dried I then shaped and layered them, adding pink pearls to the centers. The sentiment I used is from JustRite Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five Stamp set. I stamp the sentiment on a die cut out from Spellbinders 5X7 Mystical Embrace, I also used Distress Ink Worn Lipstick on the center of this die as well.

Hi everyone it's been awhile since I last posted on here, hopefully with summer starting to whine down a bit I might be able to start working on more projects. I just wanted to share with you today a Nautical card that I made for my husband.

Dies used are Spellbinders Opulent Ovals, Impression Obsession Mini Shell set, and Memory Box die Large Ringlets. Distress inks used were Tea Dye, Walnut Stain and Faded Jeans. Also, used Memento inks Nautical Blue, and Rich Cocoa.

Summertime Love

Hi Everyone hope you are all having a great summer so far. I was chosen as May's winner at Crafting Musketeers and was asked if I wanted to be a GDT member for July's challenge, so of course, I said yes. The theme for this challenge is Summertime.

 I made the first layer for this card from Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and Design paper is  American Crafts May Berry. Next layer is made from Spellbinders die Decorative Labels Twenty-Eight with a stamped image from JustRite's Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir markers CT3, CT2 and Copic Markers YG63, BG75, E23, and E47. I also stamped the image on another piece of cardstock and colored using the same markers. I then fussy cut the flowers and pop them up onto the stamped image.  I then glued two flourishes from Sizzix Decorative Flourishes, and added a Bow to the top left corner. In the bottom right corner I stamped a sentiment from the same JustRite set onto Spellbinders Opulent Ovals and popped it up as well. Next I added some butterflies using Cherry-Lynn die Exotic Butterfly small.

Hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

JustRite Sunflower Card

Hi everyone I am so happy, it feels like Summer has finally arrived. I wanted to share with you today a card that I made for the JustRite Challenge this week.  This weeks challenge is a color inspiration following the pic below.
 
 

 

 

To make this card I used Spellbinders die Reflective Moments for the shape of my card. This die has been on my wish list since it was released and I finally picked it up this weekend at a local Craft store. So Happy!!! Next I added a layer of yellow card stock for my base and then layered that with Spellbinders Basic Lattice die using paper from G45 Sweet Sentiments Collection. (I felt so bad using this paper for lattice but from all the paper I have I didn't have much purple design paper). Next I layered with Spellbinders Opulent Ovals. Then I stamp two Sunflowers from JustRite Stamp Set Sunflowers Vintage Labels Five, (Soo love this set) and colored them using Spectrum Noir markers using colors CT4, GB5, and OR1 for the leaves I used Copic markers BG75 and YG63. Next I stamp out three hydrangeas from JustRite Stamp set Botanical Medallions & Banners. I colored the two lilac with Spectrum Noir markers PL2, LV2, and LV3. I colored the pink one using Copic markers RV21 and R83. I then fussy cut them and layered them. Then I used sentiments from JustRite's Botanical Medallions & Banners and stamped them onto tags made from Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motifs. Ribbon and Charm are from my stash.

Hi everyone I was asked to be a Guest Design Team Member for the May Anything Goes Challenge at Crafting by Designs, it is such a great honor, and I hope you are able to join us.  One of my Co-Workers asked me to make a  Mother's Day card for her so I decided to make a Z fold Card. This was my first attempt at this fold and I love how it turned out.

To make this card I used Spellbinders Dies Delicate Doilies, and Opulent Ovals, and Cherry Lynn Designs Sunflower die. Stamps used were JustRite's Grand Sentiments, Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Three and Family Garden.  The punch that I used around the top is from ek tools. Patterned paper is from the Blissful Collection by Authentique. I picked this stack of paper up from Winners and I just love all the papers in the stack.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
