Snow Friends Thank You

 
 
Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share today is a thank you card I made using the snow friends framelits die.  I love purple and snowmen, so combined them to get this card.  I started off with a card base of Elegant Eggplant and then layered it with Wisteria Wonder passed through the big shot with the Softly Falling embossing folder.  My "snow" is a strip of dazzling details glimmer paper, cut in half with a wavy line.  I then layered the 2 halves on top of each other.  I used shimmery white to cut out my snowman using the Snow Friends framelits. The hat also was cut from the same framelit set.  The hat band is just a hand cut strip of real red glimmer paper.  I also used the real red glimmer paper to cut out a heart using the owl builder punch.  My greeting is stamped in Elegant Eggplant using the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.

 
 
For the inside of the card a adhered a layer of whisper white card stock stamped with snowflakes from the Flurry of Wishes set.  The sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.

Jar of Love



Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share today is a card I made a while back and never shared.  This was for one of my coworker's birthday and I just love how this turned out.


 
 
I started with a card base of Blushing Bride cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White stamped with the dots from Timeless Texture in Pear Pizzazz.  The jar is stamped in Smoky Slate on Whisper White and then cut out with the Every Day Jars framelits.  I used both the outline framelit and the framelit to cut the inside of the jar.  I used the outline to cut another jar for the back of my shaker.  On the back jar I stamped some of the flower stems and the water.  The stems were stamped in Pear Pizzazz and the water is Pool Party, stamped off.  I added a piece of window sheet, cut out with the jar outline as well, and added it to the back side of the jar front.  Now I'm ready to put my shaker together.  I added the foam adhesive strips around the edges of the back jar, added some sequins from a past paper pumpkin, removed the release paper on the adhesive strips and then added my jar front.  I then stamped a bunch of flowers and stems and cut them out with the framelit set.  The largest flowers are stamped with Blushing Bride/Watermelon Wonder, the medium flowers are stamped with Bermuda Bay (the first layer was stamped off then full strength for top layer) and the small flowers are stamped with Rich Razzleberry.  A Rich Razzleberry bow finishes off the jar.  Please see below for a complete list  of supplies used.  I appreciate you stopping by today, thank you.

Dragonfly Dreams

 
Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share today is a thank you card I needed for my mother-in-law.  I got the Dragonfly Dreams bundle in my pre-order but have not had a chance to play with it until now.  It's a fabulous bundle which includes a 10 piece stamp set and a 5 piece thinlits die set.  I started with a Whisper White card base with a layer of Basic Black and another layer of Whisper White.  The top layer of Whisper White I stamped the dragonfly in VersaMark ink and then heat embossed it with a mixture of clear embossing powder and dazzling diamonds glitter.  I then used the thinlits dies and cut it out with the big shot.  Using the scattered dots image from the stamp set, I used Smoky Slate and Wisteria Wonder inks to stamp the background.  This got adhered to the black layer and then onto the card base.  I only used fast fuse on the cutout dragonfly's body and then placed it back into the negative space on the card.  This way the wings are free to fly.  The greeting is stamped in Elegant Eggplant using the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.  A few silver sequins finish off the front.



Here you can see some of the glimmer on the dragonfly.

 
The inside sentiment was stamped in Elegant Eggplant using the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.  The dragonfly is stamped in Wisteria Wonder and then brushed with clear Wink of Stella.  Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it.

Balloon Adventures





 
 
Happy New Year!  It's hard to believe another year is upon us.  Where does the time go?  My share with you today is using some of the new products in the Occasions Catalog going live January 4th, 2017, so just a couple more days to wait.  It has tons of fun things coming your way.  This card was made for my 5th grandchild's 1st birthday.  His Mommy and Daddy are Denver Broncos fans and that was the theme for his party so I pulled the orange and blue from the Party Animal dsp.  I started with a base of Pacific Point and then a layer of Whisper White embossed with the Confetti embossing folder.  I layered a strip of the design paper onto some Tangerine Tango cardstock and put that along the left side.  Some Emerald Envy 1/8" taffeta ribbon and an embellishment from the Party Animal embellishments finish off the strip.  On the right side I used the Balloon Bouquet punch for the Pacific Point balloon and then layered a cutout from the Balloon Pop-Up thinlits die in Tangerine Tango.  The tail of the balloon was stamped in Emerald Envy ink and finished with an Emerald Envy bow cut from the thinlits die.  The inside was made with a piece of Whisper White cut with the Balloon Pop-Up thinlits die.  I stamped 2 of the balloons in Tangerine Tango and the middle one in Pacific Point.  To the middle balloon, I added a Tangerine Tango cutout.  The banner was stamped in Tangerine Tango and the greeting in Pacific Point.  Another Emerald Envy bow holds the balloon strings together and little strips of the dsp finish off the inside.  I also used the dsp to make an envelope and cut Cole's name out of Tangerine Tango cardstock using the Large Letters Framelits.  Thanks so much for stopping by!!
