More Gina K samples

Hi everyone!  I have a few more cards to share from Gina K's February release.  First up is a card using the set, A Year of Flowers 2, illustrated by Melanie.  I mentioned it before, but this is my favorite flower set designed by Melanie so far.  I just love the whimsical feel to it!!

I colored the flowers very simply with a swipe of my marker on each petal and some dots of color and pearls in the center.  I love that these flowers look perfect colored all ways.  The cute papers are from the new Park Bench pad by Fancy Pants.

Next up is a card using All Occasion Tags 2, illustrated by Tami Mayberry.  The tags in this set coordinate with Spellbinders Grommet Tags.  On this card, I stamped the tag frame image and colored it in with copics then die cut it out.  The stripes in the background are a combination of papers from Seen and Noted, washi tape and cardstock.  And the hexagon embossing folder in the background is So Trendy from Spellbinders.

My first card plays along with last week's challenge from CAS(E) This Sketch.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.  I'll leave you with some close up pictures.

BellaRiffic Friday challenges

Hi everyone!  I have a couple Stamping Bella cards to share with you today.  As you may know, Stamping Bella is now a SCS member company and they have challenges posted every week.  

This card is for Week 5 challenge, Anything Goes meaning you can use any Stamping Bella image.  I used the Daisybella image, doesn't she look great in her jeans and tee shirt?  I used the little flower dies from the Home Sweet Home set like I did with this card.  The pattern paper is Vanity Fair by MME.

 This card is for the Week 4 challenge, to make a Valentine's card.  This card uses the retired Balloonbella and a computer generated sentiment.  I added some crystal effects on the balloons and the pattern paper is Love Story from Fancy Pants.  OK, I don't proclaim to be a great colorer, so PLEASE don't study the coloring on her dress too carefully.  Especially if you look at some of the great colorers out there like the Stamping Bella DT or my BFF, Michele Boyer!  Now, they have skillz!

That's it for today.  Got lots on my plate as my oldest Daniel turns 8 tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Washi Tape goodness

Hi everyone!  I just love happy mail!  Lookie what I ordered from Etsy?  

Look at all this fabulous Washi Tape goodness!!  I love how some Etsy stores sell smaller rolls on these cute little spools.  This is a much cheaper way to get lots of designs.  Full rolls are sold for about $10 for 2 or 3 full rolls.  But this way, you get 5 yards of 3 designs for about $4!  These are from the store Chickydoddle and she sends the spools in these cute little tins.  L.O.V.E.!!

So, of course I HAD to make something with the tape this morning!!  I used this week's Fall To Layout sketch.  The sketch wasn't really tape friendly, so I had to work with it a little to get some in there.  The hearts are die cut felt (also from an Etsy store) using the Classic Heart Nestabilities dies and the banner from the Nested Lacey Pennants dies.  I didn't really plan on using the tiny rhinestones like that, but my baggie spilled all over the bottom and I kinda went with it.  The little rhinestones are from Pizzazz Aplenty.

Well, that's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Sending Love

Hi everyone and happy Monday!  I have a card to share today using the brand new Ippity stamp set, All Things are Possible. Isn't this butterfly clever? I LOVE that the body is a ribbon that you can color to represent different occasions. I want to do a yellow ribbon for my Aunt for my next card.

The paper is from Pink Paislee, Butterfly Gardens (how perfect) and the gorgeous flower is Prima Trellis roses in Coral.  See the coral heart pin?  Well, it started out white and I colored it with a copic marker to match!  You can find them at Pizzaz APlenty.

 I love the butterfly wings, they are perfect for paper piecing and layering for dimension.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Before I go, here is the other Ippity set that was released this month.  It's called Gingham Christmas and is SUPER cute!!  Love the Gingham tree and retro snowflakes :-)

Paper - white cardstock, Butterfly Garden (Pink Paislee)
Accessories - clear rhinestones and heart pin (Pizzaz Aplenty), cream wrinkled ribbon (Stamp Simply Ribbon Store), grosgrain ribbon, thin lace, leaf stick pin, Spellbinders Circles LG Nestabilities, Swiss Dots EF
