Roses On Your Birthday!!!

Hi all, so who's enjoying summer??? With all the rain, I sure hope that summer is somewhere around the corner.....we seem to be getting more rain than shine :) So I just love the Heartfelt Creations Dies and Stamps and I love that they have more than one stamp set for their dies. So here's what I came up with for today's post............

Products Used:

Cardstock: White, Tim Holtz Coredinations- Weathered Wood and Victorian Velvet and Kaiser Craft Velvet Ensemble 6x6 Paper Pad

Stamps: Heartfelt Creations- Bella Rose Leaves, Bold Bella Rose and Classic Bella Rose and Justrite- Just Because

Dies and Punches: Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose Die and Martha Stewart Punch- Double Arches

Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Inks- Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany, Crushed Olive and Forest Moss

Misc.: Prima Lace

This is a fairly simple card, but I did do a bunch of layering. So first off, I did all the stamping on the white cst and used the dies to cut everything out twice. Then I pop dotted the flowers and all of the leaves. I used the punch on one of the patterned papers and did a bunch of layering with the patterned paper, cst and lace. Once all of that was done, I adhered the two roses and the leaves with the flourish. Then did some more layering with cst and patterned paper and stamped my sentiment. I guess that's it for this one. The new Kaiser Craft Velvet Ensemble Papers are just so gorgeous and they go great with the Heartfelt Creations Roses Dies and Stamps! So until next time...........Have a great week!!!

Sunflowers, Butterflies & Blue Skies!!!



Hi all.....it's Showcase Monday on Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog and this month's theme is Summer Fun........since I don't do a lot of scrapbooking this was a hard theme for me......but I did come up with something and I hope you all like it!!!

When I think of summer, it reminds me of butterflies and sunflowers, so here's what I came up with............

Products Used

Cardstock: Light Aqua, Dark Aqua, Brown Strathmore Watercolor Paper and Prima 6"x6" Madeline Paper Pad

Stamps: Flourishes- Sunflowers and Country Charm

Inks: Ranger Archival Ink-Black and Momento-Rich Cocoa

Dies and Punches: Spellbinders Grommet Tags and EK Success Lattice Punch

Misc.: Creative Imaginations Twinkling H2O's-Solar Gold, Warm Pecan, Lemondrop, Rainforest, Kiwi and Navajo Pearl, Sizzix Embossing Folder- Butterfly Migration, Sakura Koi Waterbrushes, Tim Holtz Sanding Block, Copic Glitter Marker-Lipstick, Eclipse Masking Tape and misc. Brown Ribbon

I wanted to play with my Twinkling H2O's and do a sunflower, so I stamped the large sunflower with the black archival ink from the flourishes set, then masked it and stamped the leaf and then masked it again and stamped the small sunflower bud. Then I used my waterbrush and coloured all of it with the H2O's. I stamped the sunflower again and coloured that in, shaped it and cut it out. It's pop dotted over the first one. I stamped the little ladybug, coloured it in with the glitter marker, then cut it out, shaped it and pop dotted it. The pic really doesn't do it justice, as it's much more shimmery in person! Then, I used the embossing folder on the patterned paper and the dark teal cst, sanded and used the rich cocoa around the edges. I punched the lattice out of the patterned paper and layered it on top, then pop dotted the sunflower, which I layered with the brown cst. Stamped and die cutted the sentiment and added the ribbon. Adhered all of this to the card base. That's pretty much it for this card............so I hope you all enjoyed my version of summer!!! Have a great week, till next time..............

So if you would like to pick up some of the Twinkling H2O's or just want to do some shopping............check out Scrapbooker's Paradise Online store............I'm sure you will find tons of stuff to order!!  :)

Cards Stamped with Acrylic Paint!!!

Hi all, well it's time for another tutorial on the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog........and this time we are playing with Acrylic Paints, I used the Ranger Acrylic Dabbers, this is such a fun way to expand your stamping! So check out this post for my tutorial!!! This is the card that I did..............

Products Used:

Cardstock: X-press It Blending, Coredinations Tim Holtz 12"x12"-Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters

Dies and Punches: Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper- Scallop and Cloud

Misc.: Ranger Acrylic Dabbers- Pearl and Gold, Ranger Ink Blending Tool and Pink Paislee Daily Junque Twine

For the deets on how I did the stamping with the acrylic dabbers....click here. So all I did to finish this card is I used the Coredinations Shabby Shutters CST for the card and layered the Tumbled Glass CST over it. Then I used the Scallop corner punch on only 2 of the corners of the stamped piece. I added the twine and adhered it to the card. Now I die cut the banner and stamped the sentiment with the black archival ink and used the blending tool to apply the distress inks, this was pop dotted up in the center. That's all for this card! I hope you all have some fun playing with the acrylic paint dabbers!!!

Here's another card I did:

Flowers, Swirls & Glimmer

Hi all, so who's enjoying all this rain??? Well I will say this, if I have a choice I would take rain over snow any day!!! :) Plus it gives you the excuse to stay in and do something creative ;) So onto today's post......I really love the colours in the new Kaiser Craft Chapter One Line, so I decided to grab some of my glimmer mists and play.....I hope you all enjoy today's post!!!

Products Used

Ink: Ranger Black Archival Ink

Stamps: Purple Onion Birthday Banner

Dies: Spellbinders Rose Creations

Misc.: Want 2 Scrap Finesse Swirls Black, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists- Hula Hoop, Olive Vine, Dragonfly and Electric Blue and misc. brads

I had a ton of fun playing with the glimmer mists and you really have to check out all the gorgeous bling from Want 2 Scrap that we carry!!! Okay I guess I should tell you a little bit of how I put this together......

I stamped the banner stamp on my white cst with the black ink, leaving about a half an inch between each banner. Then I used my glimmer mists over top and I love how the colours mixed together and match the colours in the Chapter One line. Then I cut it apart and adhered the strips onto the black cst. Then I added the swirls and die cut the flowers from the Kaiser Craft Chapter One patterned papers. I shaped the petals on the flowers and added brads. Then I adhered them to the card. You really have to check out the bling and the Chapter One line from Kaiser Craft......they're amazing!!! Well that's all for this time.........until next time.......

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!!!
