Birthday's & Parties

Hi all......well our theme this month is Birthday's & Parties and I'm the lucky one to get this started!!! So I had purchased a couple of the Spellbinders dies and a matching Flourishes stamp set......can you guess which ones??? I really love that Spellbinders has teamed up with some of the stamp companies and now we have the matching dies to go with our stamps! Not that my pocketbook likes it :)........so onto today's post..............and yes I did a Birthday Card...........:)

Products Used

Cardstock: Light Turquoise, Dark Turquoise, Magenta, White & My Mind's Eye Lime Twist 6"x6" Paper Pad- Happy Go Lucky

Stamps: Flourishes-Birthday Pennants

Inks: Momento- Lilac Posies, Angel Pink & Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Antique Linen

Dies: Spellbinders- Nested Pennants & Nested Lacey Pennants

Misc.: White Tule, Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist- Forever Violet, My Mind's Eye Lime Twist- Smile Twine & EK Success Punch- Diamond Lace

I really had to play with these papers again, I just love the bright colours and the patterns in these papers......so to start off, I edged the butterfly paper with the diamond lace punch and added some of the tule, which I had sprayed with the Forever Violet Mist. This was pop dotted over the floral paper. Then I added a small stripe of dark turquoise and layered it with the magenta stripes. I die cut the pennants and stamped them with the Momento inks and the Flourishes set. For an added touch I used the twine and stitched across the top of all the pennants and tied a bow on either side. Well, I guess that's pretty much it for this card. So until next time............and have a great week!!!

Happy Go Lucky Flowers Card!!!

Hi all.......well I'm sooo happy the snow has finally gone!!! I will take all the rain we've been having over snow anytime, but the warm sunny days are definitely the best!!! :) So we have had so many new products come in over the last few months, but I just love the bright and fun colours of the new My Mind's Eye Happy Go Lucky papers and the cute twine that goes with it, so here's what I did with the papers and twine........I hope you all like it!!!

This is the card that I made and I even pulled out my Copics to colour it....................

Products Used

Cardstock: Fuchsia, Teal, X-Press-It Blending Cardstock & My Mind's Eye- Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky 6"x6" Paper Pad

Stamps: Kaiser Craft- Occasions Mini Clear Stamp & Inkadinkado- Garden Life Cling

Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black & Lilac Posies

Dies: Spellbinders- Grommet Tags

Misc.: Martha Stewart Punch- Garden Trellis, My Mind's Eye Lime Twist- Happy Twine & Ranger Liquid Pearls- Buttercup

So this is pretty simple to put together.......I used the fuchsia cst for my card and layered it with the teal cst and then the patterned paper. I punched out the garden trellis and adhered that. Then I stamped the garden life stamp and coloured it in with my Copics, trimmed around it, then matted it with the teal cst. Then I cut a strip of the patterned paper and matted it with the teal cst and topped it off with the grommet die cut and the sentiment. For my finishing touches.....I added the twine and some liquid pearls. I just love all of the colours that the twine comes in.....and of course I just had to add a few to my collection :)  Well that's all for this time...........so until next time.....

A Tattered Hello

Hi all......so we having been having some nice weather here lately, but we have had a little bit if snow, the good thing is at least it's melting  :)..........I definitely can't wait till all this snow is gone!!! Anyways, on to today's post.........we have in some really awesome Modeling Film from Stamper's Anonymous(Art Gone Wild), it comes in white, black, transparent and a multi pack. The fun thing about it is you can stamp on it, use alcohol inks or copic and then you can form it, ruffle it and if you don't like what you get, you just re-heat it and start all over again. You really need to try this stuff!!! Anyways on to today's post...............

Here's my card...................... 

Products Used

Cardstock: Brown, Aqua, Clear Modeling Film & My Mind's Eye Stella Rose 6"x6" Paper Pad-Mabel

Stamps: Pink Paislee-Butterfly Garden & Technique Tuesday-Sweet Somethings

Dies: Tim Holtz-Tattered Florals, Sizzix-Decorative Flourishes & Spellbinder's-Parisian Accents

Inks: Ranger Alcohol Inks: Copper(Metalic Mixatives), Stonewashed(Miners Lantern) & Caramel(Cabin Cupboard), Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Spiced Marmalade, Tim Holtz Distress Stain-Walnut Stain & StazOn-Timber Brown

Misc.: Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder-Spiced Marmalade, EK Success Punch-Photo Labels, Misc. Brads & Seam Binding Ribbon

So, did I say that I really really love the new modeling film??? :) So here's a little bit on how I made my card........I used the tattered florals die on the modeling film and the mabel paper. Then I used the alcohol ink on the modeling film flowers. Now turn your flowers over and stamp with the StazOn and the stamp from Butterfly Garden set. If you are stamping with StazOn and using anything that is alcohol based, you want to make sure you don't do both on the same side as they will react with one another. Then I heated and shaped the flowers and put them together with some old brads that I have had for years. After that, I die cut the flourishes and inked them with the distress ink and then applied the embossing powder. I used my cream coloured seam binding ribbon and applied the walnut distress stain to it, crumpled it up and then dried it using my heat tool. Then used the Parisian Accents die on the Mabel paper and adhered it to the Aqua CST and trimed. Stamped and punched out the sentiment, then put it all together, that's basically it!

Here's a close up of my flowers................

it's so hard to see everything in the pic......but I hope you will all try it!!! Have a great week, so until next time...........
