Someone Very Special

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

For the left border I used the fun Chinese Geometric Edger (10565)!  I added some rhinestones for a fun touch!

I used the lovely Oriental Poppies (10578) for the flowers!! I die cut it once from green cardstock and twice from a peach/orange card stock.  The green I used as the base, I trimmed each the flowers and adhered to the base.  I then used a few of them to add pop-dots to the back to give dimension!

I love poppies!!

I have a fun shaker card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I used the beautiful Perched Peacock Card Panel (10581) to create my shaker window:

Isn't it beautiful?!  I love how it turned out!!  

The sequins mix I put together is perfect!!

The 'lovely' sentiment is part of the Lovely & Gorgeous Sentiments stamp set!   I absolutely LOVE this sentiment set!!

MCT 86th Edition New Release

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

Welcome to the 86th Edition New Release from My Creative Time!!

Emma has another fun release this month!!

Today I am once again featuring the beautiful Amazing stamp/die set!

I really like the flowers in the set!  I decided to use one of them to stamp it on the top and bottom of my cardstock.  I then inked the edges with Distress Ink.  I really like this look.

For my sentiment, I used the new You Dies #2!  

As I am finishing up this post, I'm think this card design would be fun to use as a Christmas card, could ink the edges red and add some gold or silver spray and a holiday sentiment!  Have to keep that in mind!!

What a fun release this has been!!

MCT Sneak Peek Day #2 - You Dies

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

Welcome to Day #2 of Sneak Peeks for the 86th Edition New Release from My Creative Time!!


Today we are showcasing the NEW 
You Dies #1 
and
You Dies #2

I am super excited about both of these die sets!!  They both have the exact words in the sets, but the thickness is different!

First I am sharing my little notecard I created using the You Dies #1!

I love this elegant set! 

The 'thank' and 'you' are both separate, but I placed them together!  I really like how you can make them flow together!!  I also used the Amazing stamp set we featured yesterday!  I thought it would be fun to stamp the flower on the pattern paper.

Next I thought it would be fun to use the You Dies #2 to create my first Valentine's Day card!!  I know, Christmas isn't even here yet, but I am excited to start another holiday!!

The second die set is a little more bold!

I love how this fun shaker card turned out!  I used the You Touched My Heart stamp and die set to die cut the hearts to create the shaker!

MCT Sneak Peek Day #1 - Amazing

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

Welcome to Day #1 of Sneak Peeks for the 86th Edition New Release from My Creative Time!!


Today we are showcasing the NEW 
Amazing

What a beautiful stamp and die set this is!

Here is the first card I created with the set:

The flowers in the set are beautiful.  I started by stamping three of them at the bottom right of my card.  At first I was going to just leave the black and white.  But then decided to add a little Distress Oxide Ink to the corner as well.

I then stamped and die cut another flower and added it to my card with pop dots!!  I really like how it stands out from the others!!

I also really like the 'Keep on being AMAZING!' sentiment in the set!!

YNS 12 Days of Christmas Day 6

Hello Stamping Friends!

Have you seen all the lovely work being posted to the  Your Next Stamp Blog?!?!

We're celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas!!

All the designers have created a post for the 12 Days Of Christmas series!  Let me tell you, it has been amazing to see all the lovely projects!

Today happens to be my day!

Day 6

I'm excited to share two tags with you that I created!

For today's project I grabbed the awesome Drink Tag Die Set!  I love using this tag set to create not only tags for wine bottles, but they are perfect for hand soaps too.  I give a lot of hand soaps out during the holidays and love having this tag set to create tags to jazz them up a bit!!

Here are two I made for my post today:

Aren't they fun?!

I love how they turned out!

The tag set doesn't come with any layers, so I like to create my own!!

I run the die through my Big Shot, cutting the pattern paper on what would be the front side of the tag only, not the top portion with the hole.

After die cutting it, I may trim a little off the top side if needed to get the look I want.  Just depends on how big I want each layer to be.

For the darker purple tag, I die cut a few layers!

Here is a look at just one:

I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set for my white cardstock layer.  The fourth from smallest rectangle is the perfect fit for this tag!  I added the 'Happy Holidays' die cut sentiment, which is from the Holiday Scribble Tree Die Set!

I then added some Divine Twine and a clustered snowflake embellishment I created!

The smallest snowflake was created by die cutting one specific snowflake I wanted from the Snowflake Panel Die!

It's always fun to get the most out of your products!  This panel die is one of my favorites!!  But it's sometimes fun to just use the beautiful snowflakes from it!!

A look at both the tags on my soap bottles:

Perfect addition to my gifts!!

They would be perfect on Wine Bottles too!!

All YNS Products Used:
Drink Tag Die Set
Stitched Rectangle Die Set

Gift Card Boxes

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
3D Wednesday

Fun theme!!  I decided with the theme in mind I'd grab the awesome Gift Card Gift Box Die!!

They are simple, as I didn't want to add too much bling, since they will hold gift certificates for two males in my life.

A close-up of one of them:

I used the fun Stitched Belly Band Dies to add the band around the box!

The sentiments are from the Christmas Wishes stamp set!!  I absolutely LOVE all the beautiful sentiments in this set!

Masculine B-Day GC Holders

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Manly Monday

Tomorrow is my Dad's Birthday and next week my sisters boyfriend has a Birthday, so I used today's theme to create two gift card holders using the amazing Pretty Gift Card Holder Die!!

This die is so amazing!  I truly LOVE it!!  I love being able to create my own GC holders!!

I used the Happy Thoughts stamp and die set for the die cut 'Happy' and the stamped 'birthday!'!

I used the tiny star from the 3 Star Stitched Dies set to add to each of the holders, along with a button and twine!

Pour Me A Glass...

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

I always like to have a few wine tags created, as I think they dress up a bottle of wine nicely.  You never know when you will be invited to a supper with friends last minute.  And in most cases they always tell me not to bring anything and I hate going empty handed, so if I don't have anything I can make....a bottle of wine is always a good answer!! 

So I created this fun wine tag recently:

I was so excited for the new Cheers Tag Die set!  I just had to use it on a wine tag!!

I also used the lovely Totally Tracy Always Wine Time stamp set for the beautiful wine glass and sentiment!  I stamped the wine glass from the set, colored it with my Copics and then fussy cut it out!

I used some lovely D2BA Pattern Paper for the tag!  I just love the colors together!!

Check out all D2BA's products here!

Have a beautiful day! 

Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I have a few posts today, so be sure to check them all out!!

There is another amazing Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

Check out all the details here!!

There are 88 Super Sponsors!!

How amazing is that?!

Here is the card I created for the hop:

For the beautiful plaid paper, I used some of D2BA's awesome Holly & Plaid Paper!  I absolutely LOVE this sheet of paper!!

I stamped the mug from the Perfect Blend stamp set twice on white cardstock.  I fussy cut the complete mug and stamped one of the nature background on the mug from the Nature Backgrounds set with green ink!  I colored just the over on the other mug and fussy cut it.  I then glued it to the mug, I did this to give some dimension.  I then stamped the mug again on red cardstock and fussy cut the sleeve.  I then embossed the sleeve with a chevron embossing folder!  I love the added texture and fun it gives!!

I used the Nesting Rectangle Fancy Frames for two of the layers. One of which, I stamped the 'You warm my heart' sentiment, which is also part of the Perfect Blend stamp set!

Check out all D2BA's products here!

Have a beautiful day!

Let it Snow

Hello Stamping Friends!

Time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!

Click here to find the current challenge!

-----------------

The theme this time around is: 
A-Caroling We Will Go

The kids and I love singing 'Let It Snow'!  As we just love playing out in the snow!

So I found inspiration from that song to create this fun card:

I just had to use the fun Simply Circles stamp set again to create this fun background!!  I also used the Winter Unicorns Rock stamp set, for the cute snowflake stamps!!

After creating the background I used the Panel Shapes Die Set to die cut a few circles from the background to add some interest!  I used two of them to create shaker windows!

I used the Little Darling Winter stamp set for the 'Let it Snow' sentiment!

Super fun!!  I really like how this shaker turned out!!

Simply Circles

Winter Unicorns Rock

Little Darling Winter
