Delightful gallery for the featured stamper today over at SCS. 

As usual went with the first card (actual second upload), which she had two together and I made mine a combination of them both.

Her card can be seen here:  baroque motifs .

I used the Elements of Style stamp set, with Cajun Craze and VersaMark ink on White and Crumb Cake card stock.  The middle layer is Cajun Craze.  The corners are rounded using the corner rounder punch and added some jewels.



Great sketch today...

I used Rich Razzleberry and Whisperer White card stock.  My dsp is from the International Bazaar.  The middle layer is stamped with the "Papillion Potpourii" stamp set in Daffodil Delight, then  I came back and restamped using Rich Razzleberry.

I stamped the butterfly again on Rich Razzleberry using Craft White Ink and used embossing powder.  I then punched it out using the new butterfly punch, then popped it up on dimensionals with some Jewels on his body.

The edging is using the Scallop Trim Punch and added some Jewels for more effect.

The lower dsp was scored, but hard to capture in the photo.

Neat sketch out today from SCS.

Here's my take on it!



I used the Mixed Bunch stamp set and stamped them using Old Olive ink on Daffodil Delight cadstock.  I then punched them out using the Punch Blossom.  I then took each flower and used a large ball stylus to roll the flower after cutting into each a little farther so each petal could be rolled out more for effect.  Glued them together and used SU Silver Glass Glitter for the center of the flower.. 

The swirl in the background is cut out using the sizzix Decorative Accent w/ flower.  I cut it down to fit better.  I fussy colored the edges to give them more dimension.  The DSP is from the Floral District Set.  I used Rich Razzleberry behind the dsp.

Added some jewels and I'm done.

Have a good one.

Color Challenge

Today we are to use Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi, Blushing Bride and for dessert heat embossing!

Here is my take on the colors...they do go well together...

I stamped the image in Wild Wasabi and used Wild Wasabi Embossing powder.  Then colored it in with Stampin Write Pens in Blushing Bride and Wild Wasabi.



I did several layers and a frame with the Framelits for my image.  Added Jewels and a bow using the fork method to tie it.  It really comes out beautiful.

Today was a quick and neat layout (though I took a while longer cutting out the flowers).  I stamped the image twice then cut out flowers and popped them using dimensionals.

My cardstock colors are Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz and White.  I used Stamin' Write Pens in Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz to color the stamped images from Heartfelt Creations.  They are from the iris/posy collection.  I also added a little glitter pen to the centers of the flowers. 

I used nestabilites run through the Big Shot for the ovals.  Then added the row of Jewels.

The challenge today on SCS is to use White, Indigo Island and Pool Party.  Plus I had another challenge given to me.  Patty a new friend in town gave me the sentiment stamp today and said make a card with it.  So here it is...

I used the challenge colors only.  The layers for the sentiment are from Nestabilities Labels Four and Large Labels.  I also added jewels.  The other stamp used is from Rubber Cottage called "Long Wide Border". 

The sentiment is called "I Count You Twice"  and is from Stampabilities. 

The background embossing is from Quikutz called "Vines". 

My ink is Island Indigo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Featured Stamper on SCS

Delightful gallery today for DeborahLynneS.  If I had to chose it would have been difficult to do.  As usual I went to the very first for my case.


Her card  ~ Stipple_Butterfly ~ is very pretty.

I changed the colors to Melon Mambo & Island Indigo card stock.  I used some dsp from the My Mind's Eye line called "quite contrary". 

I scored the background paper for a little more dimension.  Stamped the butterflies from the "Strength & Hope" set from SU (retired now).  I do love that butterfly and hope the put out another one similar.  My paper for the butterflies is vellum and layered with some half pearls.

Tied on some 1/8 inch ribbon and assembled.

Have a great Sunday!

Today our colors over on SCS are Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo and neutrals of choice.  Also dessert is butterflies.  I am tired of dieting and added some.

I used the stamp sets "Flower Fest" and "Precious Butterflies" for this card.  On the Very Vanilla VersaMark was stamped and I used Melon Mambo embossing powder.  Tho by the photo you can't see it.  I cut it out and popped it on with dimensionals.  I also cut out the butterflies and used Jewels in the center for their body.

Happy Memorial Day Week-end.

Is that the proper way to say it?  I have no idea.  I know my family has veterans and my oldest is in the Air Force and stationed in Germany.  He does a lot of traveling for the military and into dangerous areas sometimes and I do worry...

 Okay on to the card!  Today's featured stamper is "rosigrld" over at SCS.  Her card ~ BVC09-Delight  was her first and here is my take on it.

I seem to be using a lot of Old Olive lately.  It is a favorite of mine. 

I also used Daffodil Delight and white cardstock.  The background has been scored with the scor-pal.  The Daffodil layer has been run through the Big Shot using Nestabilities. 

I used Flourishes stamp set called "Summer Blossoms"  and stamped it using Old Olive and colored it with Daffodil Delight marker.  The sentiment has been punched out using the modern label punch.  I applied jewels to the corners and both ends of the punched out sentiment.  I popped it up on dimensionals.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday week-end.

Fabulous Florets

The color and layout challenge for this week together ~

The stamp set is new called "Fabulous Florets"

Colors are Blushing Bride, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Black and White.  These are card stock and ink with the exception of white.  I used dimensionals & Jewels with finish it off.

Have a great week...I'm off for Scrapbooking!

So Pretty Pizzazz

The colors for today are a delight, great spring colors!  So saffron, Pretty in Pink and Pear Pizzazz.  We are to use punches for dessert and I did because I am tired I watching what I eat and not loosing an ounce!

I used White, Pretty in Pink and So Saffron card stock.  I embossed the base white with the Quickutz "Vines" folder.  On the next layer I stamped using the new "Flower Fest" in the summer mini in Pretty in Pink along with Pear Pizzazz and popping it on with dimensionals.  I used the abstract flower punch on the side of the paper.  I then stamped and punched out the butterfly using the same stamp set "Flower Fest" and the butterfly punch and adding some pearls (jewels).  Attached a ribbon with a simple knot and done.

I like it, it's so soft and delicate.  TFL and have a great day!

Another great color challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight along with striped grograin ribbon.  Well I didn't have any striped or grosgrain ribbon that matched.  I did have some SU retired Night Quite Navy ribbon.  So I added a knot and popped it on.



I used the Cottage Garden stamp set.  It's a two step so I could use both colors on the flowers.  The stem is in Not Quite Navy.  So the only additional colors I used are White.  The DSP is from the patterns pack.  I also added some Jewels.  The nestabilities panels I popped up on Dimensionals.

Tillymints is a winner!

The featured stamper today has some wonderful cards.  I like doing the first and thus I am not forced to try and pick one.


Her first  ~ Blue Daisy ~ I do like.  I changed the colors to white for the base and Rose Red DSP from the subtles collection. I picked a different stamp set, though it is similiar, it is called Thinking of you from Hero Arts.  I used craft ink in Rose Red and used clear embossing powder on it to make it stand out.

I made a flower from the pretties kit and used a random brad to hold it together.  For the image I cut the stamped image out from Nestabilities labels sixteen and then squared the side.  The DSP I scored with the Scor-Pal.  The base DSP I used the e-k success embossed curved punch (there is three curves in the paper).

Have a great Sunday ~ the weather is fantastic here!

Free 4 All & Sketch Challenge

Okay, I am failing to post my cards as I make them!!!

Today we are to make a background with stamps or somehow repeat the sentiment.  I choose to go with a watermark type.  What fun!  I used white card stock and stamped the sentiment in Daffodil Delight from the Curly Cute set by SU.  I used the Gala Greehouse DSP and Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  The flower from the Friends Never Fade seemed to fit so I inked it up with the stampin write pens in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.



I stamped the background stamp in Black and used it on the front.  Added Jewels and it's done.

Wednesday I checked out the challenge knowing I couldn't make a card until I got back home. What fun.  My friend Silke aka Sparklegirl's card from April had been picked for the sketch.  So I went and had lunch with her and told her...she didn't know and was very excited and honored.  Well of course I didn't get home until real late, but I did this card ~

I am very happy with it.  I left off any sentiment and flipped the card.  I used the stamp from Thoughts and Prayers (love that tree), inked it with stampin write pens {Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler}  Used white card stock for the base, then added Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler card stock behind the image.  The DSP is from basic grey and then added some silver pearls.

TFL ~ Have a great week-end!

Hope You Can Cling To/Breast Awareness

I've done three challenges for SCS for today...they will also be part of several to be mailed and used by the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center for patients being treated for breast cancer.  Been there ~ done that.  I was diagnosised and treated for Breast Cancer in 2006.  Went through the chemo and radiation.  

The first is to make a holiday card with pink.  I picked Christmas!

I used Pretty in Pink with Certainly Celery for this card.  Snow Swirled is the stamp set I used.  I adorned it with the new jewels SU has.  I also stamped some snow flakes around it with Craft Whisper White.  The sentiment was punched with the retired key tag punch. I also used to score pal in the background.



 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My next we are to use lace and lingerie if possible.

I found this lace I had never opened with these nice pearls and thought it would do nicely.  I layered Whisper White, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo card stock.  I used the stamp set by Skipping Stones Design called Bra Volume #2 and stamped it in Melon Mambo ink.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next up use brown as you would black.  Easy I love the look of Pink and brown together.

My cardstock is Early Expresso and Pink Pirouette.  I used the Scallop Trim Punch along the bottom and added pearls.  I used the Eastern Blooms stamp set and inked it in Pink Pirouette and Early Expresso.  I applied pearls to the flower branch as well.  For the sentiment I used the Curvy Verses Stamp Set.
