HMF#138 Day of Joy
Happy Monday! Most of us in the states have the day off from school to celebrate President's day. That means I get to have a little extra time with the boys. yea! That also means we are working on our Science Projects today, ai yi yi! I know this time comes every year and every year I think ack! ha! Anyways on to my creation. Today is the Mid Week post for House Mouse and Friends Blog Challenge #138 I love you Sew much. Create using House Mouse or friends stamps using sewing real or faux. Be sure to link your creations back over on the HMF blog and check out the sponsors while you are there. We have several this challenge!
My creation is using faux sewing and little bits on the corners at that. I stamped these Geranimo mice onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. They are colored with various copic markers then popped up on dimensionals. My sentiment is popped up with an added jewel as well. Hope you get to play along with us this challenge. Have a great day!

FS315 Tres Chic
This weeks Featured Stamper 315 is Mary aka MaryR917 . Lots of wonderful creations and I choose this Vintage Birthday card to case. Kept the over all layout, colors and image style. Changed the sentiment panel, stamp and added a prima to the ribbon. Hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.
I stamped my hat from Feminine Charm onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
Used several copic collections to color today:
Once colored layered on to some Color Made Easy Emerald Coast paper and then a layer of classic black cardstock.
My ribbon is also from the Color Made Easy Emerald Coast called teal blue ribbon. Added a prima that my friend Pat made me and popped the panel up on dimensionals. My sentiment panel is using our Perfectly Pierced Hourglass Die and before I removed the die I sponged with some turquoise ink for shading. Voila!

Warm note
Saturday.... aaaahhhh.... Don't you just love when you have a fresh Saturday with no plans on the schedule? I sure do as it seems that hardly happens much anymore. I might get some yard work in if I feel up to it, but right now I just want to stamp. hee hee The Whiff Of Joy #148 challenge this week is anything goes. I grabbed a stamp from my secret kit called Henrietta at Vintage desk and stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. Colored with vaious copic markers.
Decided for a warm and toasty feel to my note today with the tans and browns. Layered my image panel up on dimensionals before I added to my cardbase. My base has some cream lace trim added with the beautiful Twiner in cream soda paper along with some of my beautiful Prima's that my friend Pat made for me. Voila! Warm and cozy note today. Hope you have a wonderful day!

This is a sweet and beautiful Easter set I think. First stamped the lamb image onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
Colored with various copic collections:
I die cut a piece of colored cardstock using Perfectly Pierced Classic Frames die set. Before I removed the die I took a sharp blade and I cut the inside of the die out so I could create a window. This is one of my favorite things to do with our Perfectly Pierced dies collection it really is cool to have that pierced frame. Added some dimensionals to the back side so it would pop up against my image panel. Grabbed some of the Color Made Easy Poppy collection paper for my base color.
Added a classic white cardstock panel that I faux stitched around the edges. Since I am out of my wide crochet ribbon I created my own with some white lace trim and added the Color Made Easy Pistachio Iced Lime that I tied into a bow. My sentiment tag is using Tailor Made Classic Tags die tied off with some ivory jute twine and a CME Candy light pink button. Scattered kaiser light pink pearls and voila!

So Blessed
Welcome to day 1 of Flourishes Sneaks for February! We have some fun planned this week and can't wait for you to join in! Today's peek is one that mixes beautiful florals with one very classy custom die Flourishes released not too long ago. What do you get when you pair a beautiful paper pierced die with stunning florals? Gorgeous creations for sure!
Introducing...
Designed to be used with our Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals, this set illustrated by Marcella Hawley adds an old fashioned charm. Fuschia, Four O'Clocks and Apple Blossoms adorn these oval centers with mix and match sentiments perfect for all occasions. If you like what you see, you can pre-order this set now HERE or.... do you want to try to win this set? All you need to do is try to figure out.....
My creation today using Old Fashion Florals is with my flowers upside down. GASP! I know, I know please don't tell anyone else. ha! I thought for sure I was paying attention but appareently I was not. Doesn't look too bad though. Anyways I stamped the flowers onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
Several copic collections were used to color:
Once colored I die cut the oval out using our Perfectly Pierced Classic Frames die set. I liked the little edge that this die left for my panel when I popped it onto the Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals die set. My ribbon matches the Color Made Easy Candy Pink paper pack that I used called Festive Fuschia with some white lace trim underneath.
Tied my ribbon bow with some ivory jute twine and a candy light pink button and added a few kaiser hot pink pearls. Then some piercing around the border to finish it off. Voila!
