Celebrate with PPRS

Hi everyone, I don't know about you but this month has flown by so fast!!  I can't believe July is around the corner.  Here is my project for today, using some fun stamps and coordinating dies from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  For the layout of the card I have used sketch #245 from Mojo Monday, very fun sketch to work with.  

I used the flower image from "Hibiscus 2" clear stamp set, I stamped 3 flowers on white cardstock with pearlescent purple ink and cut with the coordinating die.  The sentiment and flower spray are from "Spring Scalloped Circles" clear stamp set, I cut the scalloped circle twice, once from patterned paper and once from cardstock, I stamped the flower sprays with purple ink and the sentiment with black ink, also added some stickles to the little flowers and the petals on the flower.

Here is the sketch I used for inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by and until next time.

Shine with Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

Good Monday morning everyone, hope everyone's week is of to a great start.  Today is Monday and time for some inspiration with Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  My card features some of the new stamps and coordinating dies released last weekend.  The papers I used here are from an old collection from We R Memory Keepers.

I cut the scalloped oval and stamped the sentiment and oval flower frame from the "Scalloped Oval" clear stamp set.  The flower frame I stamped with frayed burlap distress ink and the sentiment with black ink.  I then adhered the layers with pop dots.

The flower and leaves are from the "Hibiscus 2" clear stamp set and cut with the coordinating dies.  I inked the edges of the leaves and petal with frayed burlap distress ink and shaped them with embossing tools.

This sketch was the inspiration for the layout of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Monday with PPRS

Good Monday morning everyone, hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I had a nice quite weekend, I really needed that.  I have some inspiration for you today featuring some of the brand new stamps and coordinating dies Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps released this weekend.  For this card I used images from the "Sunflowers and Mini Hibiscus 2" and the "Dragonflies 2" clear stamps sets.

Here is a close up of the flowers and dragonfly.  The flowers I stamped on patterned paper with black ink and shaped slightly with an embossing tool.  The dragonfly I stamped on cream colored cardstock with black ink and covered the wings with lime green and crystal Stickles.  The doily was gold and I colored with green Alcohol ink.

This sketch from Mojo Monday was the inspiration for the layout of my card.

Thank you so much for your visit today and hope you have a wonderful day.

True Love & Mojo Monday

Good Friday morning everyone, the weekend is almost here!!!  I made this card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge this week.  I had to go through my stash of paper to find some Valentine's or Love themed papers and I found these two designs which I happen to love.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the kraft cardstcok strip and inked the embossed areas and edges slightly with walnut stain distress ink.

The little label with the heart is from an old "Carolees Creations" sticker sheet, I just adhered with pop dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year 2012 and wanted to share this card I made for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge #221.  I was in the mood for something vintage so I went through my stash of images and found this beauty.  I coordinated all my papers with the colors and feel of the image.  I didn't have black metal filigree corners so I took a couple of bronze ones and inked them with pitch black and snow cap Alcohol ink, love the result.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Dare To Dream...

Hi everyone, today I have a very special card.  I made this card for Maria's birthday which is around the corner, again!!!  I got the Rapunzel image from a coloring page website, I took the image into Photoshop and sized it so it would fit the largest die from Spellbinders "Labels Seventeen", I printed it on 90lb. watercolor paper and colored with Distress re-inkers.  I originally was going to stamp "Happy Birthday" but I found this sentiment in one of my stamp sets and I just had to use it with this image.  

Used some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, the little rose buds were just white and I painted them with violet Inka-Gold paint so they have a very pretty shimmer.  I used an antique bronze filigree flower and heat embossed it with lilac frost embossing powder, and placed it under the large pink rose, it made a perfect little doily.

The crown I colored with some gold paint, this is the first time I used this brand of watercolor paper and I have to say I loved the quality of it.

Here my inspiration for my layout, isn't this a great sketch.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a fantastic weekend, I'll be spending some quality time with my DH and DD.  Until next time.

Stampin' D'Amour and Mojo Monday

Hi everyone, it's Friday and time for a project featuring Stampin' D'Amour.  My card features an image from the "Fabulous Birthday" clear stamp set.  I started by cutting the card base and the patterned paper with the Cricut, I used an image from the "Sentiments" cartridge and sized the image on Design Studio.  The patterned paper is from "Que Sera, Sera" by K & Co., I really like the colors and patterns on this paper collection.  

I stamped the image on white cardstock, then stamped the cupcake 3 times, one on the yellowish patterned paper, one on the brown paper, and one on yellow cardstock, cut out all the pieces and paper pieced together, shaded the cupcake top and candle with spiced marmalade distress ink.

As a final touch I added some ribbon, a few flowers from Prima, some punched leaves, and adhesive rhinestones, and don't forget a touch of Stickles on the flowers for an extra touch of sparkle.

Here is my inspiration for the layout, another great sketch from Mojo Monday.  Thank you for stoping by and have a great day.

The lady image I stamped with black archival ink on cream colored cardstock and shaded with distress ink, I used a Sakura gelly roll pen to add some sparkle to the image.  Also added some Prima flowers and punched leaves to coordinate with the colors on the punched strips of patterned paper and the frame on the stamped image.

Stampin' D'Amour Friday

Good morning and welcome, today I have a card I made with this vintage label image from Stampin' D'Amour, this image is part of their "French Vintage" clear stamp set, I used sketch #194 from Mojo Monday for my layout inspiration.  Since the design uses lots of small pieces I went through my scrap folders and found lots of green and brown patterns.  

 I stamped the image on green patterned paper, diecut with a Spellbinders circle die and covered with Crackle Accents.  For the brown decorative tag I used a die from the "Fleur De Lis Accents" set, cut and embossed, I then used the die to trace the outside of the shape on green patterned paper and cut with scissors.  Adhered everything with pop dots to add some dimension.  Thank you so much for stoping by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Vintage Friday!

Good morning and happy Friday everyone, I have been super busy working on the yearbook for my daughter's school so when I get a few minutes I use them to get my DT projects done.  Today I have a card with a couple of vintage inspired images from Stampin' D'Amour, the dancing couple is from the "French Vintage" set and the sentiment is from the "Fabulous Birthday" set.  My color combination is color challenge #23 from CR84FN and my layout is based one sketch #186 from Mojo Monday. 

All the black lacy borders were cut with the border die from the Spellbinders' set "Parisian Accents".  I used a Sizzix embossing folder to emboss the upper cream colored patterned paper.

The sentiment was stamped on glitter cardstock with black StazOn ink and cut with a circle die from Spellbinders.  Also added some tiny adhesive pearls.

I stamped the image on Canson paper with Versafine black ink, inked the edges with tattered rose distress ink and applied some Stickles to the dress.  Double matted with black cardstock and cream patterned paper and then added the border.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and hope you have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday To You!!!!

Happy Friday everyone, it's time for a vintage inspired project and today I have a card I made with a couple of stamps from Stampin' D'Amour.  I used the birthday sentiment from the "Fabulous Birthday" clear stamp set and the vintage lady image is called "Fifi LaMarche".  For the layout inspiration I used sketch #185 from Mojo Monday, loved it as soon as I saw it!!!

Used several different patterned paper designs and some light green cardstock, I inked every layer with antique linen distress ink.  For the bow I used some seam binding I dyed a while back.

For the circles I used Spellbinders dies and slightly inked the edges with antique linen distress ink to give them a bit more of a vintage feel.  I wanted a little sparkle on the flower and mini rose so I applied some iridescent medium, this is the first time I used this product, and wow does it add sparkle or what!!

This background patterned paper was just a cream colored, distressed paper with a hint of a grid on it, I stamped the vintage lady image with celadon pigment ink all over the paper, I then stamped the birthday sentiment with jet black archival ink, distressed the edges with distress ink and added some of the same color to several areas on the paper.

I punched a border from cardstock with the apron lace border punch and added some tiny coral adhesive pearls from Want2Scrap, also added some orange stickles to the big scalloped edge I cut from Graphic 45 patterned paper.  Well, I hope you have enjoyed my card, have a great and creative day, and thank you for stoping by.
