Easter Door Hanger

Happy Saturday! Today the Whiff Of Joy Design Team is whipping up some creations for you called Door Hangers. Some wonderful and different ideas on door hangers. Be sure to check out the Whiff Of Joy Blog to see all the creations in one spot! Mine is a treat holder door hanger. I stamped Henry With Large Bow onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
He is colored with various copic markers. There is a strip of designer paper added to the pouch with the Heart Lace Border Die-Light at the bottom. The fun Cute Banners Trio Die-Light is at the top with some brad centers and twine bows. The hole for the door handle has a scalloped pink edge for fun. Some fun easter egg gum balls are inside and sure to be gone once the kids get a hold of this. Simple and sweet! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello and Thank you

Happy Friday! The design team at Flourishes is full of inspriation today as we decided to focus on an oldie but goodie today Hello Hyacinth.



With spring here, what a perfect set to use for your cards and creations! And, want to know another fun fact? Flourishes recently added a Silhouette Cut File to match this set that you can find HERE!

Well for my post you will be seeing two versions with the same elements yet different designs. First up is my lavendar one. I stamped the large flower onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
Colored with several copic collections:






Once colored I scored the edges as I love to do, then I added dimensionals to the back panel. Grabbed another piece of classic white cardstock and die cut the fancy edge at the bottom using Spellbinders Edgeabilites Classic decorative Inserts Three. Layered this panel onto our Color Made Easy Crocus paper.

Tied some of the matching Color Made Easy Lavendar ribbon into a bow tied off with ivory jute and sunflower light button. The sentiment tag is using our Tailor made Classic Tags die with an added pearl. Voila!
Next is another version yet a little different. I stamped the large flower again same thing onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxdo black ink.
Colored using copic collections:





Scored around the corner of this panel as well and added dimensionals to the back. Grabbed more classic white and die cut the same edgeing on this one yet on the left side instead of the bottom. Layered this onto Color Made Easy Emerald Coast paper.

Then tied my Color Made Easy Emerald Coast Teal Blue ribbon bow that has the same ivory jute and emerald coast button. Sentiment tag the same as above. Voila!  Two matching pretty cards I would say.
Now it's time for some fabulous inspiration and all you need to do is hop and leave these ladies below some love in the form of a comment! I know they'd love to hear from you!
Thanks for stopping by!

MFTWSC117 Happy Retirement

I get a call yesterday afternoon from hubby saying "hey I need a retirement card for tomorrow night, can you whip something up for me." He likes golf and worked here for 35 plus years. Can I whip something up? "I said what is this your own personal hallmark shop." Sheeesshh... So here is what I *whipped* up. LOL  I grabbed the fun Gus Golfer that is from Totally Stampalicious that is no longer in business now. sniff... sniff.... However this was a bugaboo digi they turned into a stamp so check out bugaboo.com . Needed a quick sketch so I checked the MFT Wednesday sketch and used it for the card.
Gus is stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.  He is colored with various copic markers.  
Die cut using SPellbinders Standard circles and scallop circles that I popped up on dimensionals. My sentiment panel is suppose to look like the flag on the green and I scored around the green panel for fun. Swiss dots for texture on the base and voila. A retirement card done! Hope you have a great day!

Love grows

The week is half over I can't believe it. Time sure does fly by anymore... The new challenge for Whiff Of Joy blog is up and it is all about butterflies. Create using a butterfly somewhere on your creation.
I went easy peasy today with our Butterfly Trio Die-Light and a sentiment from General Sayings 2. My sentiment is layered on our Lovely Doily Die-Light then popped up on dimensionals. Pink was the theme on my desk today as its rather pinkish alla round. ha ha!   My paper is from My Minds Eye The sweetest thing Lavendar paper back. Added some lace and ribbon trim and a few snow white pearls. Voila! Hope you can play along this week!

FTTC213 You are Amazing

Time for another Timeless Tuesday challenge, and this weeks challenge is sew wonderful. Sewing real or faux. Be sure to check out the FLLC Blog for details and linking your creations. Went with faux stitching and most of you know I have no sewing machine or skills in sewing. ha!  Two sets were used for this creation today Inside and Out Congrats and Hearts and Flowers. Both are stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
My heart is colored with several copic collections:



Once colored I cut around the heart and popped it up on dimensionals. The designer paper is from my scrap bin. I took the beautiful Laurel Venise white lace trim and adhered it to the side of the designer paper. Then I pierced the edge along the side for the faux stitching that I added some lined Gelly Roll Sakura pen to for a shimmer yet hard to see in the photo. Did a tiny bit of the faux stitching under Are in the sentiment as well.  Finished it off with a few pink rhinestones and voila! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Birthday Dress up

Good morning! Hopefully your weekend is as relaxing and fun as mine has been. It really is nice to have some down time every now and then and appreciate these kind of weekends. I have a darling birthday card for you today using Maya Dressing Up. Super cute isn't she? Just makes me smile. Stamped Maya onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. Colored with various copic markers.
Went with just the standard square framing and popped the panel up on dimensionals. Created the sweet Heart lace border Die Light  to go under my ribbon bow. Added a few of the tiny sweet open yellow roses to the corner and the ribbon bow center. Added the sentiment from General Sayings 2 with a v-notch end and finished it off with a few of the enamel dots. Voila a darling birthday card.
