Just for You

 

This is a really simple card that uses a lot of embossing to give it more of a wow factor.  The bottom layer of Whisper White is embossed with the Framed Tulips folder and the top layer with the Flower Garden folder.

 

 

I sponged a little bit of Wild Wasabi on the flower embossing, but it doesn't show too well in the photo.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I made the modern label punch smaller by only punching one side, moving it over and punching the other one.

 

The base and ribbon color is Pretty in Pink.

Scrapping School Pictures part 1

Our challenge for Late Night Stampers this week is to make scrapbook pages and I thought I would do some more school picture pages.  These are actually from a year ago...

I used a sponge dauber to add Champagne Mist shimmer paint around the edges of my Early Espresso base and again on the Pear Pizzazz matting. 

It actually doesn't show up in the picture, but I added a little of the shimmer paint to the embossed image as well.

Supplies:

Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Baja Breeze card stock

Greenhouse Gala designer series paper

Neutrals buttons

Early Espresso bakers twine

Pear Pizzazz seam binding

Champagne mist shimmer paint

sponge dauber

staples

dimensionals

Flower Garden impressions folder

VC Rocks Blog Hop

It's the first VC Rocks blog hop of the year!  You may have come from Deborah Robb's blog and at any time you may go to the VC Rocks blog to see the full list of participants.

We are using the theme, Color My World, and I have chosen to use watercolor crayons

and markers in my projects. 

My first project is a card using watercolor crayons.  I stamped my image on watercolor paper with Black Stazon ink and then colored in the flower and leaves with Not Quite Navy and Old Olive crayons.  I blended the colors in with my aqua painter and then added some Perfect Plum to the flower and used the aqua painter again. 

After I had everything on the card, I spritzed a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne mist shimmer paint over it all.  I always have a hard time getting that to show up in the photos.

Supplies:

Because I care, Just Believe stamp sets

Framed Tulips impressions folder

Old Olive, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla and Watercolor paper

hemp twine

Black stazon ink

watercolor crayons

aqua painter

dimensionals

basic pearls

word window punch

modern label punch

champagne shimmer paint

My next project was a super quick and easy one that would work well as a little gift too.

I picked up a frame at Target with 2 - 4 x 6" openings and just added some simple panels.

The left side is a Certainly Celery base that I ran through the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder and on top of that I added some Whisper White card stock that I embossed with the Flower Garden impressions folder.  There are a couple butterflies cut out with the Beautiful Wings embosslit on it as well attached with glue dots.

The right side has a So Saffron base that was also embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder.  I used my markers to add some flowers to the Whisper White layer using the Love and Care hostess level 2 stamp set in the Summer Mini catalog.  The sentiment is from the Refuge and Strength stamp set and I punched it out with the scallop oval punch and popped it up with dimensionals.

Supplies:

Refuge and Stregth, Love and Care stamp sets

Flower Garden, Vintage Wallpaper impressions folders

Beautiful Wings embosslit

Big Shot

So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait, Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette card stocks

Butterfly Mother's Day

I made a few more Mother's Day cards and this one shows a preview of the Flower Garden impressions folder. 

Also used:

Beautiful Wings embosslit, 1 3/4" circle punch, vanilla shimmer smooch spritz

Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White card stock

It is really hard to see on the pictures, but there is a lot of shimmer on this card and it really adds to it.

Springtime Smiles

I flipped Mary Jo's sketch for this card and made a super quick and easy one.  I also spritzed the card when I was finished with my own mixture.  After I emptied one of the Vanilla shimmer mist containers, I added a little Champagne Mist shimmer paint and alcohol to refill it and that is what I used on this card.

Blushing Bride, Naturals White card stock

Easter Blossoms stamp set

hostess level 1 paper pack
