Heart with Wings

Hi Everyone, here today to share some inspiration with Stamp N Plus 
wonderful stamps!!

Before I move on to my inspiration, I do want to remind everyone to 
join our Monthly Blog Hop (here), lots of fabulous inspiration from the design team using our monthly stamp Tree Frog!!
One lucky winner will win their choice of two stamps from the Stamp N Plus store!!!
Plus there is blog candy among the hop from some of the team members!!



Today I am sharing a sentiment Heart with Wings X1305. I used it as my focal point 
stamped in Stazon Timber Brown onto white card stock.
My papers are from Bo-Bunny Abbey Road Vine, layered with brown card stock.
Butterflys were doubled using a Martha Stewart punch then finished with tiny green jewels.
Lacy square and Lacy circle dies. Matching pearls for my finish touch were created by coloring with my Copic E29 ( did you know that you could match your pearls by coloring with Copic? Easy peasy and a perfect match!)

Butterfly Kisses


Good Morning and a Happy Tuesday

Today I am sharing my DT card for this week's challenge at Sweet Stamps 
Our theme for this week's challenge is 
Patriotic or Summer Card 



Each week Sweet Stamps has a new challenge and although you are not required to use a Sweet Stamp, if you have some we would love for you to use them and you will receive a second entry into our draw.

Our prize each week to one lucky winner is a $20.00 gift certificate to Sweet Stamp Store for use on any of our lovely rubber stamps.



I went with a summer card, as I have had this stamp since when I joined 
Sweet Stamps and sadly it had not seen any type of ink (insert sad face).
It was perfect for a summer card so  I inked her up with Tuxedo Memento Black ink 
on white card stock, a beautiful fun stamp called Nancy in the Grass. She is colored in Copic  I used Copic Blending Set - Seaside for dress, and Blending Set Spring Leaf . Papers are from Bo Bunny Welcome Home Collection 6x6 pad , for the flowers I stamped 3D Flower set #2 with Tuxedo Memento Black onto the same Bo-Bunny papers, then hand cut out, layered and added a pearl using Viva Decor Pearl Pen  Cream, Butterfly were created using Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Exotic Butterfly dies, for the sentiment I used Butterfly Kisses

I am Over the Moon for You

Hi, hope you are having a great start to your weekend,

Here's a cute card I made for my Guest Designer spot with Craft Your Days Away Challenge #48
Their theme for this challenge is Teddy Bears, 
sweet, cute, cuddly Teddy Bears.

For my card I used the ever so sweet Barry Bear from Stamp Fairy!
Stamp Fairy stamps is this week's sponsor, perfect shop to find all the cute and cuddly Teddy Bears!!


I used Barry Moon  who is colored using Copic and then
added lots of fine clear glitter and a bit of Waterfall Stickles for his wings.
Such a cute image for a new baby card, baptism or even for a 1st Birthday.



For the inside I glittered up the free image offered with the Barry Moon collection 

Thanks for visiting, be sure to check out all the wonderful images

Gift Card Set with Mini Pizza Box

I have a fun project to share today featuring  a yummy stamp called Blueberry Pie Slice from
 Stamp N Plus stamps (you can find it in the Kitchen Craft section)






I created a Mini Pizza box to hold some 3.5 x 3.5 cards 
for a cute gift card box.

Using my SCOR-PAL (inches) board and tool I created a mini pizza box 
by scoring a 6 x11 piece of DCWV card stock from the Le Tres Chic line
at 1 inches on all four sides, cutting along the top, bottom and middle to create my side tabs, I then folded into my box, adhering my side tabs.
The mini Pizza Box was then decorated using paper from DCWV Chateau Lavender stack. Spellbinders Lacy Square dies, a scalloped circle die to mat my stamped image of Stamp N Plus Blueberry Pie Slice.




Here you can see the mini pizza box holds 6 cards and 6 envelopes
(4 x 4 envelopes were made from yellow card stock)



Each card was created to match the mini pizza box using the a smaller 
Lacy square die, along with the stamped image matted onto a scalloped circle
Image was colored with Copic YR30, Y21, BG 70, B000, B02, E23,E25 and then highlighted with BG10
I then covered the white topping with STAMP N PLUS fine clear glitter and added a touch of 
Stickles Star Dust to the Frosting Crowns for added bling

Summer Time Fun!

Happy Monday - Hope everyone had a great weekend!! 
Mine was very exciting my oldest friend is visiting her daughter in Tennessee and they drove up for a visit on Saturday, such a nice surprise and fun times just relaxing and catching up on the years since we seen each other. Then yesterday we went over to son and daughter in laws for a family get together for Father's Day!! Awesome dinner with steaks on the grill, corn on cob and Caesar Salad. I definitely ate way too much. I am starting to feel a bit better but still have a ways to go - realizing this wasn't a piece of cake surgery (might have something to do with my age???) but think I am on the road to mending!! Seeing the surgeon this morning so hopefully he will agree!!

So today I am sharing my DT project for Love to Create Challenge
Our sponsors this week are Robyn's Fetish and Digi Darla Designs.

Our theme this week is Summer Time Fun



I created my card with a Digi Darla Design image "Little Boy with Flowers"
Such a sweet image and so fun to color!! This reminds me of my precious 2 1/2 year old little guy he loves to pick flowers and share them, along with picking the buds so he can break them open
to get the seeds inside to plant more!! So needless to say our plants have fewer flowers this year but lots of seeds planted for next year LOL!!

Take a minute to swing over to Love to Create Challenge
the team is sharing some amazing cards this week!!

Parrot Love

Happy day to everyone -  
Today I am sharing a card with you, showcasing a beautiful stamp from

This beautiful stamp is called Parrot Love J1253
you can find it in the store under the Africa & Asian collection


For my card I stamped my image with Memento Black Tuxedo ink onto solar white card stock, Colored the image with Copic and then die cut using a medium circle die. Added some paper piercing around the image with a paper piercing tool. Designer papers are from G.C.D. Christmas collection called Flower Pop. For my embellishment I used heart punches and sheer flowers with a decorative pearl brad. Sentiment was computer generated. I added a little bit of Stickles Star Dust to the birds for a bit of shimmer within their feathers.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by to visit!!
