Patterned Paper #4

Hi! It is time again to show another way to use patterned paper! I saw this idea on pinterest and thought is was so cute and a great way to use up some of those paper scraps. I made candles by rolling up some scrap patterned paper and then adding baker's twine for the candle wicks!


The stamped image is from Stampaliciuos. I colored this clear stamp with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and adhered it by the candles. The lable is a Spellbinders die. The saying is unknown.

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

Warm Wishes

Hi and welcome to my blog! I love a cup of hot tea in the evenings when it is frosty outside. So I have been enjoying tea quite a bit lately! I made a card using this neat stamp from Just For Fun called Stamptangle Tea.



The cups were colored using Zig watercolor pens. The pens have a very pointed tip and are great for coloring the stamptangle stamps. I fussy cut the stamp, added stickles glitter to the "steam" and pop dotted it to the card. I cut a window using the Grand Madison Window die by Memory Box. I made "snow" by using a Versa Mark pen and adding white glitter embossing powder. The blue piece was adhered behind the window and also pop dotted to the card. For the background I ran white card stock through a Sizzix embossing folder. The saying is from the Sentiments 2 unmounted sheet.

Thanks so much for stopping by. We hope to see your wonderful creations in our challenge this month which is Music and use green, purple and gold on your card. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Warm Wishes!

Patterned Paper Series #3

Happy Valentine's Day! Welcome back to my patterned paper series. On my card today I used some punches and dies to cut hearts from patterned paper scraps.



I arranged the hearts across the card. The cute cat stamp is from Penny Black and it was colored using Tombow markers. The saying was computer generated. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Just For Fun February Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog. It is time for another challenge at Just For Fun Stamps! The theme for this challenge is Music and add purple, green and gold. Here is the birthday card I made below.



First I stamped and embossed the Streamer stamp using gold glitter embossing powder. The powder was also used on the candle flame and cupcake holder. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Birthday Cupcake stamp and pop dotted it to the card. I used a music note die ( no brand ) and adhered it over the card. The saying from the Sentiments 1 unmounted sheet was stamped under the music notes. Star sequins and green enamel dots were added for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope that you will join in the challenge. We would love to see what you make! You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Have a wonderful day!
