Tuesday morning means another Timeless Tuesday Challenge. Amanda is the hostess this week. She challenged us to use our favorite stamps. I don’t know about you, but usually my favorite stamps are the NEW ones. Am I bad? I just love to use new images I haven’t used before.

So for the card I stamped one of the images of the new Botanical Bookplates Vo. 2 in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on white cardstock. It was cut and embossed with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box Technique and colored it with Copic Markers (Y00, Y11, Y13, Y17, YR15, YR24, YG11, YG13, YG17, B0000, B000). It was layered first on a piece of Kraft cardstock cut and embossed with a Tear Drop Circle die, then on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the Fair Isle Pendant die.

Patterned papers were cut and embossed with a Grand Rectangle Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched and Lace was adhered over the strip. May Arts Ribbon was tied above the lace and the bow was topped with a button.

The layers were adhered to the card base, Kraft cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Rectangle Nestabilities die.  A sentiment from that set was stamped on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Fancy Tag 1 die. The embossed part was colored with Copic Marker B0000 before it was adhered under the image. Part of Rhinestones borders finish off the card.

I hope you have time to play. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

With Sympathy

I created this card a couple of weeks ago. I usually don’t make Sympathy cards so I didn’t have one when I needed it (unfortunately). Thank goodness I have this GORGEOUS set from JustRite Stampers called with With Sympathy.

I stamped the frame in  Rich Cocoa Memento Ink on a piece of My Mind’s Eye Be Amazing patterned paper. The frame was cut and embossed with the second largest of the Small Classic Oval Nestabilities die as well as the largest Nested Oval Medallion die and the edges were sanded.

The frame layers were adhered to a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Floral Oval Nestabilities die. A sentiment from With Sympathy was stamped in Rich Cocoa Ink on another piece of Be Amazing Paper, which was cut and embossed with the next smaller classic oval die. The edges were sanded and the oval was taped behind the frame opening.

The Rose from With Sympathy was stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was colored with  Copic Markers (Y00, Y11, Y13, W2, G000, G00, G02), cut out and adhered to the lower left of the frame.

A strip of Be Amazing paper was adhered to a bigger piece of the same paper pack. The paper was cut and embossed with a Grand Rectangle Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched before May Arts ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip. The bow was topped with a button, tied on with embroidery thread before the layers were adhered to the card base, Kraft cardstock cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Rectangle die.

Part of a  Fancy That! Border Bling was adhered to the upper right hand side to finish off card. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

Day two of the Flourishes Sneak Peeks. Today the featured set is the Botanical Bookplates Vo. 2. I loved the first one and I have to say that they second set in this series is just as gorgeous as the first.

For my sample I stamped the big Lily of the Valley image in Tuxedo Black Ink on White cardstock. It was cut and embossed with a Classic Oval Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box technique. The image was cut down even more on the embossed edge and colored with Copic Markers (T0, T1, T3, YG01, YG03, YG17, B0000, B000). The image was adhered to a piece of cardstock, cut and embossed with the second largest Floral Oval Nestabilities die.

A piece of vellum cardstock was cut and embossed with a Lattice Motif die. The image ovals were adhered over it with dimensionals. A piece of patterned paper was cut and embossed with the smallest of the Grand Square Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and a strip of white cardstock was taped over the paper square. The edges were stitched and ribbon was threaded through the Vellum layer and tied around the paper square. The layers were adhered to the card base, white cardstock cut and embossed with the smallest Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.

A sentiment from the set was stamped on a piece of cardstock, cut and embossed with one of the Tailor-Made Classic Tags Template die. The tag was tied on to the bow with a button and embroidery thread.

I’m a day early with a very special birthday surprise….tomorrow is my dear friend Korin Sutherland’s birthday! A group of her friends are getting together today for a fun early birthday party, since tomorrow is the fantastic April Release Blog Hop for Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps, and we didn’t want to take the spotlight from that. After all, our sweet girl deserves her OWN day in the spotlight! So please join us as we celebrate Korin’s birthday a little early! After all – you can never have too much celebration, can you?!?!

For my project I used the Sweet ‘n Sassy Rose Cottage image. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers (Y13, Y 15, Y17, YR15, YR18, YG11, YG13, YG17, BG0000, BG000, BG01) and cut and embossed with a Classic Square Nestabilities die.

Two butterflies were stamped, colored and cut out and adhered over the main square. Frost Smooch Glitz was added over the butterfly. The square was adhered to a card base, cut and embossed with the Lace Doily Motif die out of Solar White cardstock.

A little while ago I shot a video about the Basic Blending techniques with Copic Markers.

It’s my turn to host Timeless Tuesday again. I thought I give you an easy challenge. April is my birthday month so your challenge is to make a birthday card.

I love the new Botanical Bookplates Vo. 1 and thought they would make for a great spring birthday card. One of the images was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers. The image was cut out with the Tailor-Made Classic Bookplate die and layered on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with one of the the Antique Frame & Accent dies.

The border strip  and the small corner die of the same die package were used to cut another piece of white cardstock.  The card was designed with the designer papers. The sentiment was stamped with the same black ink on a piece of cardstock, cut and embossed with a Tailor-Made Classic Tag die. Ribbon and rhinestones finish off the card.

Take a peek at what the other Timeless Tuesday designer have created for today…

I created this card for a recent  Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast. Stef picked a great site to draw inspiration from. As soon as I saw this cake, I knew I wanted to use Flourishes gorgeous Orchid stamp set.

I stamped the Orchid image in  Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored it with  Copic Markers (YG0000, YG01, YG03, YG17, Y13, Y17 and red spica pen). The image was cut out and adhered to a frame cut and embossed with the largest  Tear Drop Circle and a Standard Circle Nestabilities die.

With the same Standard Circle die used for the frame, a piece of MME Lime Twist Life is a Party was cut and embossed. The edges were sanded and the circle was layed inside the frame. The orchid was adhered over the frame and paper with dimensionals. A sentiment from the orchid set was stamped on the right hand side of the paper with Tuxedo Black Ink.

A 4 3/16″ square of Solar White cardstock was embossed with the Elegance M-Bossibilities folder (I do love that folder!) that had been inked with New Sprout Memento Ink. It was stitched to a 4 1/4″ square of Sour Apple Cardstock.  A piece of my new favorite May Arts ribbon was threaded through one of the Tear Drop circle holes  and tied around the layers. The frame was adhered over the squares with dimensionals.

The card base was cut and embossed with the second smallest Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities dies. Nina Brackets gorgeous new Fancy That! Border Bling and parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl finish off the card.

Mar 282012

Today’s new Whimsy Challenge is to use no patterned paper. That’s a tough one for me. But I did it for my card on Monday and liked it so much,  I used the same dies and embossing folder again.

I picked Brooke the Zinnia Fairy as my image. She was printed out on Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut out with the Out of the Box technique and a  Standard Circle Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers ( Flower and Shirt: Y32, Y17, YR15, YR18, E97, E99, E29   Leaves and Skirt: YG01, YG03, YG17   Skin: E0000, E00, E02   Hair: Y23, E31, E33   Wings: YG0000, YG00, YG01   Background: BG0000, BG000, BG01). The circle was adhered to a piece of Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with the largest Spendid Circle die.

One 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of white cardstock was embossed with the new Flower Fun M-Bossabilities folder that had been inked up with New Sprout Memento Ink. A 4 1/4″ wide strip of white cardstock was then cut and embossed with a Classic Edge 2 and a Classic Decorative Inserts 5 die. The strip was adhered under the embossed strip, which was then adhered to a 4 1/4″ white cardstock square that had been embossed with the same embossing folder, this time inked up with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The edges were stitched before the layers were adhered to a 1/8″ bigger piece of green cardstock.

Aqua Sheer Ribbon was threaded through one of the openings of the Splendid circle die cut before the image layers were adhered to the embossed layers with dimensionals. The ribbon was tied into a bow. A tag was cut out of white cardstock with a die from the Home Sweet Home pack. A sentiment from The Good Life Tickets was stamped over it in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and the inner part was airbrushed with Copic Marker Y17. The tag was tied to the bow with embroidery thread and a button.

The layers were adhered to the card base which was created out of Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die. Rhinestones from the Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestones and part of a Fancy That! Border Bling finish off the card.

I hope you have time to participate in the challenge. While not easy (I love using patterned paper), it’s fun and you could win free digital images. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles

Timeless Tuesday - Easter Project

Mar 272012

Maki is today’s Timeless Tuesday challenge hostess and asked us to create an Easter project or card. As soon as I read the challenge, I knew I wanted to use those adorable bunnies from Spring is Sprung.

I started by cutting the edges of a 6 1/4″ wide piece of white cardstock with a Classic Edge 2 die as well as a die from Classic Decorative Inserts die.  I scored the strip at 3″ and 6″ before stamping the bunny image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on one of the 3″ panels, above the embossed edge. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Bunnies: E40, E41, E42, E43, R00, R20   Flowers: Y13, Y15, Y17, RV10, B63, B66, G43, G46   Grass: YG01, YG03, YG17   Sky: B0000, B000).

A 6 1/2″ x 7″ piece of Kraft cardstock was scored at 3″ and 6″ on the 6 1/2″ side and adhered into a tube.The bunny strip was adhered around that tube. A 1 1/2″ x 6″ piece of MME Lost & Found 2 Rosy Patterned paper was stitched to a white cardstock strip. It was adhered above the bunny image strip. A rhinestone border bling was adhered to the bottom edge of the patterned paper layer and ribbon was tied around it. It was topped with a button, tied on with embroidery thread.

A hole was punched on top and ribbon threaded through it. Next a Hershey bar was pushed down into the tube and the ribbon on top was tied with a piece of embroidery thread. A sentiment from the same set was stamped on the lower right corner of the tube. Three small rhinestones on the embossed strip finish off the pull treat holder.
