Floral dump

A few floral cards today. Having issues getting some creative juices going so I looked back and recreated some older versions that I have done. Started to feel the juices a little again, thank goodness! 

This is a sunflower from Heartfelt creations that is colored with various Copic markers. Some faux stitching around the border and rounded the corners on the image panel. A few brads accents and then some suduko gel pen to the petals.

Second sunflower using pink and brown hues on this one. Die cut heart edge along the embossed piece with faux stitching again along the base panel. Some enamel dots with a twine and button corner. Topped off with sparkles. 

Another set of Hyancinth and Hellebore set. Wood grain based layer and a fancy die cut layer below the bloom. Some sequins accents and sparkle added to the water and the blooms. 

Last is the pretty pink Hellebore with very simple stitched layers and some sequins accents. Of course added sparkle to finish this off. Voila

                                    

Sunflower smiles

Holy cow two posts in the same year, I am off to a great start then. ha ha  This is a really old one called Autumn Blessings I think? Really old but I do like the image. A little bit of sparkle and might as well use up some brads since I have a million of these things. 

Next is a sunflower from Heartfelt creations and I totally forgot the name of this one. I liked the bumblebee designer paper with this one. Added sparkles and some die cut heart to the bottom. 

Same stamp but only used a portion of the image. Lots of these flourished pearls in my stash so added those and some ribbon. Another easy peasy set of cards. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday bucket

I promised you more of my sunflower cards I worked on last week and here is one of them. This is yet again a retired stamp from Heartfelt creations. This bucket is just so cute I think don't you? My image is colored with various Copic markers. 

Simple design with just a little bit of swiss dots texture to the base top panel. Added a flourished die cut behind main panel. A few enamel dots and some sparkles. Voila!

Sunflower birthday's

Good morning. Dug out a few of my sunflower stamps this last week and made a few creations. This one is from Heartfelt Creations and I do believe it is retired. Some of the image is trimmed off from the circle die cut as I layered a base with scallops. 

The base has some added faux stitching to the edge along with sheer ribbon and twine wrapped around the top. Colored with various Copic markers and added to the base. Tie off a heart wood button and my birthday sentiment. Voila! 

Awesomeness level

Good morning. I thought it was time to step into the stamp room and create this morning. It was going to be rather hard since Ranger was always my stamping buddy laying under the desk while I created. However I did fairly well and I did think about him. This week I did a lot of deep cleaning and kept myself busy with happy thoughts and knowing how much I loved him. 

The healing has begun as they say and we are all doing okay. Thank you for the sweet words of encouragement and for those that sent cards, THANK YOU! Very very sweet. 

Now for what I created this morning... 

Pulled out a sunflower from HeartFelt Creations that I think is retired called Sunflower Bouquet. After I colored the sunflower I delicately cut around the image so that I could pop it up on dimensionals. The good grain designer paper was the perfect background I wanted with some yellow and gray papers. Added piercing around the border and my little side panel. The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set and then finished it off with a few enamel dots in gray and some sparkle. Voila! 

Hoping you have a wonderful day today. :-)

Sunflower thanks

Good morning. It is already the end of January and I really think that somebody needs to slow time down a bit. Really... already a month into 2018. My my my... Anyways you didn't come to hear about how time is going by too fast, so how about a card?  :-)  

This sunflower is called Sunflower Stem from Heartfelt Creations. I wonder if they discontinued this set as it is not on the site anymore? This was fairly new within the last year or so I thought. Guess that is what I get for not using my stamps more.
For the base it is a simple wood grain designer paper layered onto some chocolate card stock with piercing around the edge. Don't look too close to the piercing or you will see where I got off track a little, but its okay... just keeping it real. HA!  A scallop edge using ODBD Beautiful borders and some swiss dots textures to the chocolate panel. Colored my sunflowers with Copic makers and rounded the corners on the left. Die cut a Thanks sentiment and added sparkles to that and the sunflower. A button and twine bow to finish it off. Voila!
 Thanks for stopping by today. 

Cozy Holiday

As I mentioned on Monday the September Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge is posted and it is all about Memories. How to pick just one memory is hard but I actually went with one that is a favorite that I do in my own home each year. A new table center piece, it can be either with or without candles but it has to have fresh flowers or greenry. This last year a friend of mine bought one for me with sprigs of greenry and poinsettias, It was beautiful.

This is Sparkling Poinsettia candle that I have only used once sad to say. Too many stamps and not nearly enough time I hate to say it. Very simple design with just a little bit of sparkle and some jewels. Voila!  

Just because sunflower

Good morning. I have to say a week without more snow and freezing rain sure makes me happy.  :-)  Spent quite a bit of time in the stamp room this weekend trying to get some release stuff coming up done and a few surprises. hee hee  So be on the look out.

Grabbed the wonderful Heartfelt Creations Sunflower Bouquet to play with for this one. The sunflower is stamped off the corner so I could leave room for the sentiment. This is a retired sentiment that has all the little sentiments to go with the large font. Inside it says " I was thinking about you today".
The sentiment off the side looks fun I think. Colored my sunflowers with various Copic markers and added a designer paper layer behind the main image panel then to the base. Used stitched mat rectangles die for some fun. I really am liking the layers like this and have done quite a few lately if you hadn't noticed. ha!  Added the wonderful sequins and sparkle to finish it off. Voila!

Crisp Sunflowers

Good morning. Hopefully you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was rather restful and a good thing as we start Basketball season this week. Yep off to the races with the next sport.  :-)  Stamping time was available this weekend so I took advantage and have some creations for you this week. 

The Sunflower Bouquet has two beautiful image in the set and this one had yet to be inked up. A very crisp and clean feeling card so you can focus on these blooms. They are colored with various Copic markers. My sentiment is from So Grateful stamp set. Only a few random brads and some sparkle for embellishments today. Voila! Have a wonderful day. 

Happy Thoughts gift box

Good morning! Just a quick little gift box today to share. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had gotten some new sunflower stamps and this is another one called Sunflower Bouquet. I think this array of flowers and sunflowers in the bucket is so pretty. I have colored them with various Copic markers and die cut the shapes with a few Spellbinders dies. 

The base is some designer paper that I also stamped the sunflower seed stamp from the set as a background and some faux stitching. This box is made using my Graduation Hat tutorial but I cut the box down a little. Instead of 7x7 it was 6x6 measurements. The same with the 7 1/8 it was 6 1/8 measurements. Follow the same instructions for the box itself.  Fun little box that I added some dove chocolates to for a friend. Voila! Thanks for stopping by today! 

Sunflower Thank you

Good morning. Hopefully you week is going great so far. My creation today is using a new stamp to me called Sunflower Stem from Heartfelt creations. I ordered a few stamps and finally had a chance to ink and color one of them up. In looking at my stamps I have several sunflowers it looks like which is great. 

This is a very simple card with just a little bit of embellishments. My sunflower is colored with various Copic markers and a simple scored border around the edge. I layered some cardstock and designer paper from the stash with a pierced border around the edge. A layer or crochet ribbon and seam binding, then added my image panel. Tied some twine on a button for the corner and added some sparkle. Voila! Have a fabulous day!

This gorgeous Sparkling Poinsetia Candle makes for some fabulous Christmas cards. I stamped the image onto white card stock and stamped two more layers of just the poinsettia onto scrap paper. Colored all the stamped image and the extra flower. Cut around the edges and set those aside to pop up later onto the card front. The beautiful die you see peeking out of the edges is called Decorative Blossoms Corner die. matted that down onto some designer paper and layered the image panel. Popped up the pionsettia with a few silver pearls and scattered a few more around the card. Stamped he sentiment tag and voila! I do like how this turned out, don't you?
