Blossoms

Today I am sharing one of the New Release Sale-A-Bration Items.  It is subtle on the card, and that is a great definition of the item.  Have you guessed what it is?  Yes, It is the So Very Vellum.  And it is more beautiful in person.  I love the soft colors.

 

 

The vellum comes with this embossing already done for you.   All of the sheets have the same embossing.  The vellum I chose for the background is the Soft Sea Foam one.  I used the Highland Heather Vellum for the flowers.  They are die cut using the Dies from Forever Blossoms Bundle.  The embossed vellum gives an added definition to the petals.

The stamp is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set.  It also is die cut using the bundled dies.  That is such a great focal point for any design you could come up with.

I stamped in Smoky Slate Ink and then colored with Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends.  For the bow, I used the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.  It is simply wonderful to work with.  I don’t usually do multiple loops with ribbon, but this is so silky and thin I went for it.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I have new projects each day to share with you.  And this coming Wednesday is the InKing Royalty Blog Hop, you will not want to miss that.

Music

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!  When I made this card, I did not realize, or I didn’t think of it being Valentine’s Day.  I just adore this stamp set.  It is the Music From My Heart.  I saw a sampler someone had made the other day and it was so pretty.  I decided to make a card from that idea.  But for a music lover, or music teacher, the sampler would be an awesome gift!

 

 

I am not a Red and Black person at all.  But I love it for this card.  They seem to just fit this perfectly.  I have a couple of layers going on with this card.  I usually layer, but this is a bit more even for me.  I just didn’t like the black on the red then red on the black.  I felt like it needed to be broken up a little.   The thin Whisper White layer fixed it for me.

I stamped all of the images in either Memento Tuxedo Black, my GoTo black, or in Real Red.  The squares are from the Layering Squares Dies.  I used the smallest ones that would fit my idea.  The Real Red Ribbon down the side is the Real Red Double Stitched Ribbon from the Mini Catalog.  I was so happy that I had that.  I was trying to make it work with a White ribbon and it just wasn’t the perfect thing.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have an Awesome Day and Wonderful Weekend!!

Sending Hugs

I hope you enjoyed the Pals Blog Hop yesterday.  There were some great cards on there.  I have a Poppy card to share for today.  I am sending hugs to anyone in need of a big hug!  I personally love hugs.

 

Stampin' Up!, Poppy Moments, Painted Poppies, Ornate Frames, Perfectly Framed, Jackie Beers

 

On this card, I did the opposite of the previous card with the die cut poppies.   You can see that card HERE.  If truth be told, I made an oopsy!!!!  When I was cutting  I placed the wrong die on the DSP.  But I thought “why not see how it looks”.  That’s what I get for not paying attention at the cutting machine!  I am thrilled that it does work by giving just a hint of the DSP.

I stamped the tall poppy with the attached bud a couple of times and colored them with Stampin’ Blends.  I then placed the two large die cut poppies over them and raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I like the look it gives.

The sentiment is from the Perfectly Framed stamp set.  It coordinates with the Ornate Frames Dies from the Holiday Catalog.  They carried over and were from a Halloween set.  They are gorgeous frames with layers and curly pieces.  I love when new things coordinate with old.  I feel like I get more for my money.

Speaking of more bang for your buck.  Have you checked out the new items that released last week?  They all coordinate with products from the Mini and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs.  The DSP is especially awesome as it coordinates with the various punches that are new in those catalogs.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will come back tomorrow.

We are half way through February.  That means we have 1 1/2 months left on Sale-A-Bration.  Please check out what I have pointed out with the SAB Join Promotion.  I wish I could get that amount of product for that price!  It really is the most wonderful shopping spree!  If you are at all curious, I would love to talk with you about the promotion and the benefits of being a demonstrator.

February Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because this month’s theme is “Art from the Heart” and we think you’re going to love it! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My card is definitely from the heart.  It is covered in hearts and is perfect for anyone you love.  But it does not have to be for Valentine’s Day.  This one would be appreciated at any time.  Besides the hearts, I have an unexpected choice to pair with them.

 

Stampin' Up!, Waterfall Card, Over The Moon, Jackie Beers

 

I have made a Waterfall Card to share my From the Heart theme.  I had not made one of these in years.  The ones I have made previously were single layer with the waterfall on the front and you added your wording to the bottom of the waterfall.  This one is a bit different in that I placed the waterfall on a full size card.  So you have the inside to add extra sentiment and your love.

Here are some of the pulls to show the different images.

I hope this gives you a different perspective of the Over The Moon set !  I think these guys and gals are just adorable and a fit for many occasions..

I am going to do a quick video on how I made this, but I am sure there are several on YouTube already.  I will say that the most important aspect of the building of your layers, is to not glue down the cross bar.  That has to be secured with brads or in a way that only the edges of the strip are attached.  Otherwise your waterfall cannot pull through.

I have listed all of the supplies i used  at the bottom of the post. Don’t forget to take a look.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 11th, for our “Critter Card” blog hop when our Design Team showcase projects with animals, birds, butterflies or insects. Don’t miss the fun!

Magnolia 3X3 cards

I hope you enjoyed the 3 X 3 Box in yesterday’s post.  Today I am sharing the cards I made to go inside of it.  I hope the recipient will love them as much as I do!

I stayed with the Magnolia theme of course.  I added different elements and punches to vary the look and sentiments.  I have four cards shown, but the box will hold 8 – 10 cards and envelopes.  It depends on the embellishments (AKA dimensionals sticking out!)

 

 

I used the same Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper pack.  I wanted to stay with the look of the box, so I have the same paper from the box, the opposite side of that paper, and an additional sheet ( the dark background flower).  The sentiments are all from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp set.

I paired the sentiments with a variety of punches.  The top left is the Story Label Punch.  The top right is the Layering Circles, as I used on the front of the box.  The bottom left is the New Label Me Fancy punch paired with the Timeless Label Punch.  And the bottom right is the Layering Circles again.

The bottom left card also has an added item.  I used the gorgeous Petal Pink Metallic Ribbon in a loop behind the sentiment.  This gorgeous ribbon is in the Mini Catalog.

Thank you for stopping in again today.  I appreciate it very much and love hearing your thoughts on the cards.  I hope you can picture these same cards in a full size as well as the 3 X 3.  Please come back tomorrow for the Pals Blog Hop!  There will be a lot of great ideas with the theme From The Heart!

Julie’s 3 X 3 card box.

For today’s project I am channeling my friend Julie DiMatteo , The Paper Pixie.  I have put my spin on her adorable 3 X 3 card box.

For my box, I used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and matching Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  Since Julie used dinosaurs for her box, it should look totally different !  LOL!!

 

 

And here it is with the lid off.

 

This is the link to Julie’s video on how to make the box.  Click HERE.  It is a super video, as always, and extremely easy to make.

My version of the box is made with the Magnolia Suite as I mentioned in the beginning.  I paired it with colors from the DSP.  I used Mossy Meadow as the box base.   My circle layers are from the Layering Circles Dies.  I used the same ones that Julie did in her video I believe.

The Magnolia Lane DSP has quite a bit of white to pair with the Mossy Meadow.  It also has a hint of the Petal Pink.  I stayed with those colors for the layers. I like the scalloped circle for the center,  and the white shows up very well against the pink.  I stamped the flower with the Petal Pink and then the sentiment over top with Mossy Meadow.  The finishing touch was the Champagne Rhinestone, from the Mini Catalog, as the “O” in Today.

I will share with you tomorrow the matching cards I made for the inside.  I stuck with the Magnolia theme.  I have listed all of the products I used in the Supply List at the bottom of the page.  Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you will come back to see the inside cards tomorrow.
