Card or Framed Art?

Hello!

So glad to have you popping in today!  I have another card with the Sure Do Love You stamp set that's sure to inspire you to create a special Valentine's your own special someone!!  It is so striking, you just wanna touch it!

It is another card share from my PS Just For You co-op group!  I hope you like it!

Is this a card or a framed piece of art?  Right!!  This features the same Sure Do Love You stamp set and the Brusho Crystals!  Created in a completely different way!  Here the image is stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  Then the Brusho Crystals are sprinkled over top, spritzed with water in a stampin spritzer and then use an aqua painter to achieve the brushstroke swipes!  Finishing touches of black and gold to create a masterpiece!

Have a great day!

Baker's Man Birthday Greetings

Hi

While I was making my samples I really tried to focus and create a display that showcased all of the pieces of the stamp set as well as all of the different sides of the dsp.  In honesty, this paper was a bit of a struggle in the beginning but everyone except for me loves chocolate cake, so I figured chocolate cake would tie into the browns of the back ground.  The cake and baker guy were cut out with the framelits, super easy.  I water colored with the pencils and aqua painter.  And it is so hard to get it to show up, but yes there is Wink of Stella all over that yummy icing!!

Hope you have a great Tuesday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Girl, who's having a Birthday?

Hi!!

Well we are caught back up and today is Friday!  I have spent the day in my studio and trying to put away some long overdue piles that have gathered over the past 8 months of my time being laid up and out of commission.  Actually pulling things out and dusting and trying to re-organize a few things so they'll really be at my fingertips!  I will share pic's once it's cleaned up a bit, ya know how when you start to clean a space you actually make it a bit worse, yes that's the stage I'm at now!

trying to show you the angle so you can see what's popped up

This dsp is kinda crazy with all these poodle pups in the background, but it was still fun to stamp her and a balloon and create a cheery birthday card for a girl!  I colored it in with the aqua painters and watercolor pencils, popped up with some dimensionals!  Did you see we have new MINI DIMENSIONALS in the new catalog??  No more cutting them in half!

Have a great weekend and we'll see ya next week!  We are headed to a Diamondbacks baseball game on Saturday and still have lots of sorting and tidying up to do.  Now that Nicole has moved, we can deal with the tornado of moving Miss Rachel back into the house!!

TGIF!!

It's Your Big Day!

Howdy!!

Glad you are checking back in and hope you are enjoying the samples I made using the Birthday Memories Product Suite.

Check out today's little cutie!!  I really DID NOT like this set when it arrived as it was just so not my style and there was nothing to CASE or COPY since the catalog hadn't been released and nothing on Pinterest ... but I really, really like this set now!  Such a great bundle too, getting the DSP for FREE!!  Seriously!!

This one combines some old fashioned tone on tone stamping on the right side of the Old Olive cardstock using a variety of the images from the stamp set.  Then the left side is a piece of the DSP.  I stamped the Banner & added the greeting and then stamped the Fox.  Coordinating framelits make cutting these guys a breeze!  I used the aqua painter and the Watercolor Pencils to color the images in and of course since it was sitting out, I added the Wink of Stella to the flag greeting banner!  Tied off with some simple Old Olive bakers twine!  There you go!!

Enjoy & there's still more so come back again!

Flowers For a Friend

Hi

Today I am going to start with one of the samples from my Displays, so this was not a part of the business idea that I presented.  We were asked to design and create 12-15 items for the display boards.  So I have LOTS to share with you over the coming days!
And remember, this product suite will be available to you as customers as soon as the NEW catalog goes live June 1st!!

It's funny that I am actually choosing to share this sample 1st with you, as this little girl 'scared' me originally for the whole time I was working with the products.  She is faceless and it's her back side ... and it honestly reminds me of when I was a little girl and had dolls ... and at night I would have to get up and go turn them to face away from me because I felt like they were staring at me!  But after the fact, I really liked this card so much that I duplicated it for the new pre-order card swap that I joined!

This card starts with Shimmery White cardstock for the base and the two stamped layers.  It was run through the embossing folder, Falling Petals from the Occasions catalog.  The scalloped oval shapes are from the Layering Ovals framelits.  The middle oval shape for the girl and the greeting are from the Stitched Shapes framelits (*must have!).  I used the new Watercolor Pencils and an Aqua Painter to color in the images, which were stamped with our Archival Basic Black ink.  The flowers were cut using the coordinating framelits to the stamp set.  To finish off the card, I added a small little bow with some new ribbon trim, this one is with the Rich Razzleberry color.

Thanks - drop me a comment, let me know if you like it!  Stop by tomorrow to see another sample featuring her from the dsp!

Fall Fest, follow your heart!

Howdy!

Here we are with another one of the projects from Fall Fest that featured the MOMENTS LIKE THESE Project Life by Stampin' Up! card collection!  These were super fun and quick to make!  I think I have a new favorite go to method now for quick but adorable cards!

This card uses 2 cards from the collection, and we have just trimmed the red hearts pattern to fit above the black dotted card panel, combining two cards for a quick and great background for our adorable little trailer image from You're Sublime!  Again stamped on the Shimmery White and watercolored in our image and popped it up!

Come back for more!
