Simple congrats

Good morning. Hope Wednesday is good to you today. Yesterday I was sitting at a few events and was on my cell phone looking up Pinterest humor.  I had quite the little day of giggling to myself and at one point I was on lunch and laughing so hard. Oh my! Do you ever just need fun days like that? I needed a day like that. I pinned quite a few things and then I got to checking out puppy videos. Aaaaaahhhh.. Now that will make your heart swoon. Anyways..

 I have a simple congrats card today that I made using ODBD Sparkling Stars dies. They are die cut in the white panel with some designer paper added to the back. Added stickles  around the die cut star frames and a few grey brads. My sentiment with a fish tale end and voila! Very easy peasy. Have a wonderful day. 

Follow your heart

Good morning! Today over on the Power Poppy Blog we have a new digi for you called Follow Your Heart! Marcy has some inspiration behind these roses that are so sweetly bundled together to form this heart and arrow. It just makes you smile. Check out the Digi selection in the store to see all the instant downloads to start your coloring.  ;-) In case you missed it last week we released the ever so beautiful Everything's Rosy also. So check it out !

I printed this and colored it while watching the Denver and Patriots game. Needless to say I colored less and screamed and cheered more and finished this after the victorious win by Denver. Woot Woot!!!  Super Bowl here we come! Moving on...  ;-)  

 After the roses were colored I cut around the image so it would pop up for the panel. Yes my swiss dots is reverse on the pink panel and I like the way it looks with the heart downs the side. Some faux stitching seemed to be fitting for the feel of this card. This is old designer paper that I can't remember the name of what it came from? Sorry. A few scattered jewels and then sparkles to finish it off, Voila! Have a wonderful day! 

FS468 Rosy notecard

This weeks Featured Stamper 468 is Michelle aka whimsey. What a fun gallery full of variety. I finally choose this Scribbled Circles and leaves creation to case. I kept a flower theme, the colors, sequins accents and the white space. I changed the punch to a stamp, added a die cut edge and some sparkle. Enjoy your week Michelle! 

The yellow and pink flowers were calling my name once I saw Michelle's card. I used Everything's Rosy for my stamp and colored them with Copic markers. When the card is closed behind this die cut edge on the bottom is some soft pink designer paper you will see. This will be another note card added to set I mentioned on Friday. Just a few little accents with the sparkle and the sequins and voila! Have a wonderful day. 

Hello lavendar roses

Good morning! Did you see the new release this week from the Instant Garden collection at Power Poppy? Talk about awesome!!! 

This is called Everything's Rosy! A must have for your collection if I do say so myself. One of the girls asked for a pack of note cards and this will be one of them I have for her set. I do ADORE this image from our flower whisper.  ;-)  

I know I mentioned this on Tuesday but I do like coloring these petals. I went with a purple color theme for this card with just a strip of designer paper at the bottom. Leslie created a set of cards with this idea that I thought was cute. You can see her cards that inspired me here. For the top I added a Spellbinders die cut edge with a jeweled center. The petals do have some suduko gel pen added to them for sparkle, yet hard to see in the picture. However this does look really cool in person. I think she is going to like this card. Voila!

Everything's Rosy

Happy Tuesday! Today is the newest Instant Garden release at Power Poppy called Everything's Rosy. Isn't it just gorgeous? Marcy has a way with flowers I tell you, maybe we should call her the flower whisper? hee hee  Be sure to check out the Power Poppy Blog for the blog roll of everyone's creations today. You won't want to miss all the fabulous creativity! 

These roses are wonderful to color and the cups they are in just make it that extra special. At the boys practices I have been coloring like mad. This was the feminine feel I was thinking about when I colored this one. Something about soft pink and white make me think purity and feminine. My cards tend to have the die cuts at the bottom of the card panel so I thought why not shake it up and put it at the top. Oh... I do like how this looks, how about you? To enhance the die cut my inside panel has a pink panel to match the layer behind the image panel. These roses are colored with a variety of Copic markers and some sparkle added to the petals. Just a few scattered jewels and a scored border as the accents for this card. Voila!

 Be sure to check out the Power and Spark challenge we have going on this month and play along! Have a wonderful day.

Glamours 15th Brithday

Good morning. One of the girls requested a few special cards for events coming up and one is a 15th birthday along with gold and black colors. I had to dig around and find this stamp set for her, I almost forgot I had this stamp. She remembered the set I did for a birthday party years ago using Glamour Girls (a retired set) and thought it was perfect. The base is pretty simple with some designer paper and a die cut Spellbinders edge at the bottom. 

She is stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. Her hat (if that is what you would call it) has some seduko gel pen for shimmer and shine along with the wrist pearls. To add some gold touches as she suggested, I Die cut the numbers and a Spellbinders frame with the gold. Added some flourishes jewels for the background and voila! Happy 15th.  ;-)  Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the newest Instant Garden-Digital release from Power Poppy!

FS467 Thank You

This weeks Featured Stamper 467 is Minnur. Very creative gallery. I choose this Folded card 3 to case. Kept the flower theme, thinner style, and similar background. Changed the flowers to a stamp, added a sentiment, added a button and twine, sponge stenciled matching background and removed the ribbon. Enjoy your week!

I just got this stencil called Pointed Star from Jenny Bowlin recently which was very similar to the designer paper she used. Only partially sponged the background and I like how it turned out. My flower is from So Grateful that I stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. Then I delicately cut around the image, surprise...surprise and popped some dimensionals on the back before I adhered it to the card base. Placed my button and twine combo in the bottom corner next to my sentiment. Then a few jewels and some sparkles to top it off, Voila! 

Hope you have time to stamp today and have a wonderful day!
