Patterned Paper #8

Hi and welcome to my blog! I am showing another way to use up those paper scraps. On this card I made a collage background using my scraps and then added an image from Just For Fun Stamps. This image is perfect for the month of April. As you see I used this same image earlier on my Just For Fun Challenge card this month.

The image was cut out using the Gina Marie stitched oval die. Paper flowers and a lace border were added for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Easter

Hi and welcome to my blog! I want to wish you a Happy Easter! This card goes right along with the challenge for this month at Just For Fun Stamps. The challenge theme is to use lace on your card.

I used one of their new stamps, Floral Wreath, and colored it using Zig watercolor markers. I then ran the card through a dotted swiss embossing folder. I stamped the Love U Bunnies, colored them with alcohol markers, fussy cut them and pop dotted them to the card. The saying is from the Sentiments 1 unmounted sheet. Yellow lace borders were added to the bottom of the card.

You still have some time to join in the challenge. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed Easter!

Spring Flowers

Hi and welcome to my blog! I am enjoying the Spring weather we have been having here except today is stormy. I love all the pretty trees and flowers blooming but we really have the pollen this year. I have made a Spring card using a Penny Black stamp. I just love this cute hedgehog. He looks like he is in a hurry to deliver some Spring flowers!

I stamped and colored the image using alcohol markers and some glitter markers for the flowers' centers. The image was cut out using the Gina Marie stitched circle die. I cut a butterfly using a Cheery Lynn die and added rhinestones on the body. Sequins were added to the card for interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Patterned Paper #7

It is time to show another way to use patterned paper on a card. Today I am showing a wreath I made with scraps of papers from my stash. I cut each scrap into a banner and placed the pieces in a circle. I punched out a circle from another piece of patterned paper, stamped the saying (unknown) and adhered it to the center of the wreath.

I stamped the cute Creative Vision cat, colored it with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and adhered it to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!

April Showers

Hi, and welcome to my blog. We all know the saying "April showers bring May flowers." We have had so much rain through the Winter and Spring here in South Carolina, that the trees and flowers started blooming in early February! I have made a card that goes right along with all this rain we have had.

I just love this silhouette stamp called Rainy Walk In The Wildflowers. I made the background by sponging oxide inks through a birch trees stencil, then pressing a wet paper towel over the stencil to lift off the ink. The girl and the saying were stamped over top. The saying is from the Sentiments 1 unmounted sheet. I also added metallic sticker raindrops for interest. You can click here to see many more fun silhouette stamps that the store offers.

We are also having a challenge and we hope hat you will join in. The challenge is to add lace to your card. I would love to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Just For Fun April Challenge

Hi and welcome to my blog. Just For Fun's challenge this month is to add lace to your card. I used the Cake With Candles stamp. You can see the other fun birthday stamps here .

I stamped the cake on the dotted patterned paper, colored it with colored pencils and added Sprinkled Sugar Stickles on the icing. I colored the plate with alcohol markers and applied Diamond Glaze to make the plate look like ceramic.

I added lace for the tablecloth. The saying was stamped underneath. I added pink sticker stars and black rhinestones for interest.

I hope that you will join in the fun challenge this month. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
