FS418 Roses

This weeks Featured Stamper 418 is Pauline aka Lotsofstamps. What a beautiful gallery and lots of creations that I wanted to case. Finally choose this Arranging Roses card to case. I kept the same image Arranging Roses, over all layout and similar colors. I went for a darker pink and rose color. Changed the sketch and added some pearls.  Voila! Hope you can play along this week. 

Sweet Pillow Box

A good ole fashion valentine treat using Cupido Henry. hee hee  This is a pillow box die that I used to create this treat holder. You can check out the Pillow Box Tutorial and create your own if you would like. Any template would be the same idea to fold this box I would think.  :-)  I have a gift card inside this one. Henry is stamped on white card stock and colored with Copics, then die cut with Spellbinders Classic circles. A little lace trim and voila! Have a wonderful day! 

Orchid Greetings

Happy Friday and welcome to another Peep Of The Week Challenge! We have something fun and new happening over at Power Poppy.  Check it out over on the Power Poppy Blog HERE! Hope to see you playing along! 

My creation today is using the newly release Orchids Rock! Just diggin the name of this stamp set still, makes me giggle! I created a  Lattice Window using smaller dies this time so I could stamp my Orchids on the front panel frame. Added just a few jewels to the front layer and my sentiment on the inside (seen through the window) and voila! Easy Peasy!

Shake it up, baby

The House Mouse Blog challenge this week is themed Love is in the air. I am still working on some Valentine day cards and this House Mouse was perfect for the challenge. These guys are called Read My Lips. Isn't that fun! 

I haven't created a shaker card in a while so I figured I would play around with that idea. My frame is with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five and Adorning Labels Twenty five die cut in black card stock. Added red and white sequins behind the clear acetate window and a few sparkles around the edges of the frame. My sentiment is from an old retired stamp set and it was perfect for this shaker card. Voila!!!  These guys just make me smile! Hope you have a wonderful day. 

True Love

The Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge for Feb. is up and its "For the LOVE of Christmas". Nothing says love like the birth of Jesus, that is true love right there. I love almost all nativity scene stamps and this one was a gift from my sweet friend Judy! Thanks girlie! I stamped the image on white card stock and colored with Copics. A simple kraft layer behind the image panel and the dry embossed frame technique for the base. Wrapped some twine around and voila! Hope you can play along this month! 

Valentine Goodie Bag

Good morning! Well the game was good, but a loss for the Hawks.  ;-(   We got this next year... right!?!  Just a quick goodie bag for you today as I am off to the school. I have a busy week and not enough time already. ha ha  

This goodie bag tutorial is super easy if you want to create your own goodie bag. I used some double sided paper from Echo Park called Lucky in Love. Tied a ribbon around the center with a button twine combo to tie off my sentiment tag from Good Thinking: Love Notes. Easy peasy cookie holder. Hope you have a wonderful day. 

Super Bowl, Release and a gift

Before I get to today's creation I have one thing to say.......

~~~~GO HAWKS~~~~

Woot Woot! Super bowl today!!!! Now if you recall, last year I was NOT cheering for the SeaHawks. You can read about my little slip of the tongue HERE. This year, not only am I cheering for the Hawks I would LOVE a repeat of last years game THIS YEAR! If I have any wish today it would be that Wilson beats the pants off ole pretty boy Brady! hee hee   You know my love of Brady and all. NOT....  It is all fun and games girls... No need for any smack talking. ;-)  Good luck to both teams, and for a fair calling no deflating game.  hee hee  You knew I had to put that in there! woot woot!!!!  Anyways.... back to the regular program.....

Welcome to Power Poppy's Release Day!!! All the stamp sets are available NOW at the Power Poppy Store!

 Here is my creation using Potted Primroses. This is a box with a fold over case to hold the goodies inside. The original design is by Liz Walker, she has several different versions and sizes if you look through her blog. I created my own Primroses Box for you today using the new Potted Primroses. I LOVE how this turned out! So cheerful, makes me smile.

 The tiny flower in the set is easy peasy to cut out and around. I cut between each of the petals and used my little ball to make it puff out. Then added pearls to the centers of each one. The scripture is from Glory that is stamped and layered on Spellbinders Decorative labels die. I want to make like 10 more of these boxes now! LOL  I might just have to make a few for the girls.  ;-)
