I Love You!

I love my husband, kids and grandkids. I hope I've told them enough times, and want to keep on telling them. So this card is going to one of them, just in case she forgot.

A friend in Virginia (Hi Penny) sent me the die cut flat flower layers. I colored, curled, and glued them together, adding the stamens to the center. It is very 3D :)  Another friend (Hi Shari in Canada) sent me the sparkly, multi color butterfly and leaves die cuts. I colored the leaves and added a sentiment from JustRite stamps. I used the Swiss Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug on the yellow background, and the Stampin' Up Snow Burst embossing folder to the white oval. Used the EK Success tag punch for the sentiment, added some sponging and pearls, rounded a couple corners, and was done.

Now, the get it in the mail, along with several other cards I've made for different ones.

Dainty Dots

Hi, again friends,

This almost started to look like a Target advertisement, so I had to monkey with it :)

Another challenge for SCS DTGD, red and white. I stamped a little flower from My Mind's Eye "Fiddlesticks Story" and the sentiment from JustRite Stamps "Grand Sentiments."

I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder as well as Martha Stewart Doily Edge border punch. After stamping the flower in red, I punched it out with a 1 inch circle punch, followed by red card 1-1/3 inch punch for each little background.

Papers from GKD Pure Luxury. I used some red rhinestones for accents, and edged the sentiment in red. Inks from Memento. Kinda CAS for me.

All my best to you and much aloha, Rosy

Thank you for looking!

A "Golden Hello"

{The recipe follows after photograph}
I cut two die cut layers from white card stock. I used VersaMark to stamp the small flower from "Grand Sentiments" all over the main panel, sprinkled with Gold embossing powder and then heat until shiny.

I colored in all the flowers with some Copic markers from the tan group. Cut the oval out of tan card, popped up with two layers of adhesive foam dots, added four small pearls. Cut the white oval, sponged inside then stamped with Hello and curly horse shoe kind of design, both from "Lace Medallion Labels" and added the six tax rhinestones. Used double layer adhesive pop dots under the white oval.

I took some gold shiny tulle, laced it through the sides of the deco label, and tied a bow. I spread the bow into a circle shape.

Cut three round layers out of white card, sprayed it with water and scrunched up tightly and let dry. Opened, sponged with tan colors, painted edges with gold. Added large gold brad to center and made into flower. Glued onto tulle flower.

Used three premade paper flowers, and after coloring and painting with gold, placing them to upper right of focal image. Painted gold into centers of all background flowers.

Final step: Cut scallop, and applied two layers of gold embossing powder, heat set. Placed just under gold tulle to meet the Flourish Challenge this week :)

Our 20th Anniversary, a Tri Shutter card for Bruce

Happy Anniversary to us :) We made it to a glorious 20 years.

(We've both been married before, so it's more like Bruce's 50th and my 35th LOL) It's a very long story, but I can't express how joyous I am to have 20 loving years with this man!

The ship is a free digi from the internet. The map panels are also free digis of a world map found on the internet. I just enlarged and printed it, then cut out pieces to fit and distressed it a bit with distress inks. All the stamped shells, fish & stars are from JustRite stamps. The sentiment is typed and printed. It's extremely heartfelt to me, and what I used to tell Bruce long before I knew it was a sentiment.

I painted the ship with Broken China distress ink first, then Perfect Pearls (plain white pearl) and water. The border outlines were drawn with a gold Sharpie marker. I used some Vintage Paper distress ink around the ship oval and the sentiment, then tipped around with Perfect Pearls in gold mixed with water. I used Memento Rich Cocoa to stamp the ocean critters.

Finished up with some gold nail head stickies by Mark Richards and a golden anchor charm tied on with some twine. Bazzill cardstock.
