WOJ June Themed Blog Hop

This months theme is all about special folds. Center step, Side step any step type card!
This is my first ever center step card and I adore how it turned out! This is the fun new image released called Girls Rule. She is stamped onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. Colored with various copic markers.
There is quite a few Die-lights on this creations as the space lends to it quite a bit which was awesome. The sentiment is on our Sweet Tags Die-Light with the Leaves Trio underneath. Our Butterflies Border Die-Light punches out these fun butterflies that I had left over from another creation and fit perfectly for the side. The polka Dot paper is from the October Afternoon 9 to 5 that was used for my flowers also. The flowers are with our new Die-Light Rolled Scalloped Flower. Added some of our gorgeous white pearls to the centers and voila! Be sure to check out the creations from the Design Team by heading on over to the Whiff Of Joy Blog!



Whohoo!! Check it out! The Fall Stamp Kit is ready for pre-order. The theme looks enchanted as it says. Ooohhhhaaahhhh! Never passed up a kit, they are always well worth the wait and the money! Hope you have a wonderful day.

Easy Breezy...

Happy Friday Flourishes Friends! How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Is that summer heat getting you down? Well today the Flourishes Senior Design Team has a treat for you focusing on two beautiful summery sets: Beach Life , Seaside Life and A Guiding Light  because we know that this time of year makes you long for those cool ocean breezes.

Now I have to say that just about any beach pictures that I really love all the colors palette you see below. Its so soothing and clean, which is not what you have at the beach most of the time when sand is involved. However sitting on the beach with the waves crashing down and the sun warming your toes. Aaaahhh.. nothing like that. Instead I am here at my house with no sand or waves. Darn!!!  ha ha  I stamped the chair and some of the palm tree from Beach Life onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. Colored with copic collections:




After I colored the image I lightly sponged some clouds into the background and added scored lines to the edges. Had some of the soothing polka dot paper in the scrap bin and added some of our Color Made Easy Emerald Coast paper to the side with a scalloped edge. The white wrinkled ribbon tied into a bow with a pearl center. Voila!
Check out the Design Team today
This weeks designer focus is Silke! This is your chance to case Silke and win a Flourishes Goodie Bag! Good luck and happy stamping!

Thank You

Good morning! We finally have our summer weather today and it is going to be a hot one. Which means I need to walk Ranger early today. The new challenge over at A.R.T Card challenge blog is anything goes. Since I couldn't play in the sketch challenge last week I wanted to try and play this week. I grabbed my Botanical Bookplates Vol. 2 set and stamped the flowers onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
Colored with copic collections:



Die cut the circles with Spellbinders die and added some dimensionals to the back. My base cardstock colors are from Color Made Easy Collections Candy pink and Poppy.


My sentiment is from the Inside and Out, Thank you stamp set. Added some flourishes pearls that have been in the bin for awhile and tied off a ivory jute with my poppy button. Voila! Hope you have a great day!

FS333 Your Kindness

This weeks Featured Stamper 333 is Tina aka tinahale38. What a beautiful gallery full of lots of creations. I almost choose an altered or 3D item to case, however this hello sunshine stood out with the flowers and her lattice edges. I kept flowers, lattice edges and over all design. I changed the stamp, colors and have a lattice frame all around.

Colored with copic collections:





Once colored I scored around the panel and added to some Color Made Easy Poppy cardstock. My frame is using Spellbinders Respelendent rectangles that is in Color Made Easy Pistachio cardstock.

Hello Henry

Happy Saturday! A rather un eventful weekend for us which is super nice. Always makes for some fun stamping time when I can as well. I inked up this darling guy from Whiff Of Joy's Secret kit, however you can get the Digi version Winegrower Henry.  I stamped Henry onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
Colored him with various copic markers. The leaves have added stickles to them for some sparkle. I added the Scalloped Swirly Border Die-Light to the edges. Popped the main panel up on dimensionals and voila. Easy Peasy! Hope you have a great weekend!

Classy lady....

Bet you thought I was all done creating with Glamour Girls didn't ya? Not a chance! This set is totally cool and I have had so much fun with it. Figured I would ink up the other gal in the set and create today. She is stamped onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
Colored with copic collections:



Once colored I die cut her out using Spellbinders Classic Oval which is a great layer onto our Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals die. The die and the base are both using our Color Made Easy Rich Browns collection.

Added some wonderful Cherry Lynn Flourishes die with a jute twine bow that I tied off a little perfume charm too. Centered with one of the sweet primas that my friend Pat sent me as a gift. A few pearls to the corners and voila! Classy lady here we are!  ;-)   Thanks for stopping by today.
