Double Springtime Foils

Hello Hivers, 

These two cards were created using the scraps I had left over after making a few other cards.  The Springtime Foils SDDP is too pretty to let any of it go to waste.  I wanted these cards to be quick and simple.  I use the same basic layout for both cards and  I did very little stamping.  As you can see, on the Sweet Sugarplum card I only stamped a sentiment from the Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set.  On the other card I stamped a sentiment from Picture Perfect Birthday and a little splatter image from the Waterfront stamp set.  The Lots of Labels Framelits added just the right touch of sophistication that I wanted these cards to have.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Lovely Friends SBTD Blog Hop - October 2017

Hello Hivers, 

Welcome to another Stampers By The Dozen Blog Hop.  This month our theme is Masculine.  I find this to be one of the hardest things to design.  I decided to use the Lovely Friends stamp set for all my projects today.

I have made three cards and a little box.  

This first card is using the Coffee Break DSP.  I cut out the sentiment using the Lots of Labels framelits and sponged around the edges with Pear Pizzazz.  

This second card was made with a special person in mind.  He offered my family help during Hurricane Irma.  I just wanted to let him know how much his offer meant to me and my family.

I used the Wood Textures DSP Stack along with Colorful Seasons and Seasonal Layers thinlits.  The Burlap ribbon and Copper Trim are two of my favorites right now.  

Here's a look at the inside and the matching envelope.

 

This last project started out as a simple one.  I like to make boxes, so I thought I would design one with the Masculine theme in mind.  I used the Eastern Palace Specialty DSP along with Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon.  Then I thought I should make the "Gift Box in a Card" that I've been seeing so much of on the internet.  

 

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.  

Hop on over to Carly's Blog.  She is up next in the Blog Hop.

Demonstrator Only Swap

Hello Hivers, 

I have really been pushing myself out of my comfort zone.  I signed up to participate in a 2017 Holiday Catalog Pre-Order Demonstrator Only Card Swap.  At first I committed to just making 11 cards of one design.  But then, for some unknown reason, I went back and signed up for 2 more designs (11 of each design).  I was very nervous.  You have to make original designs....and you all know that I am the queen of CASEing.  But I knew that I could do at least one...but three?  Boy, oh boy.  I found that my Creative Mojo works great under pressure.  I love all three designs I came up with.  

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  I would really appreciate the feed back.

Retired Birthday Wishes

Hello Hivers,

I don't know why, but I have been holding on to some scraps from the Serene Scenery DSP Stack.  I finally decided to go ahead and use them on a couple of cards.  What do you think?  Not too bad for scraps.

Stamps:  Big on Birthdays and Confetti Celebration

Supplies:

Lots of Labels Framelits

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch

Presents & Pinecones DSP

Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and Garden Green card stock

Baker's Twine

Tin of Tags and Time of Year stamp sets



Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Wonderful Year

Hello Hivers,

This is a great way to use up all of that Designer Series Paper you purchased in October during the big paper sale.  Use it as the background layer with a simple sentiment.  The paper and the sentiment will take center stage.  I seen this layout on Kay K. blog.  I think someone will be very happy to get this set of boxed cards.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

You're The Best

Hello Hivers,

I know that Father's Day is not around the corner just yet, but that is what I had in mind when I designed these cards.  I really like the way they turned out.  I did use some retired SAB glitter tape on one of the cards.  I don't know if you notice but I did use the Paisleys Framelits on these cards.  It is very hard to spot.  But the large leafy looking die has some parts that most would discard.  I, however, decided they would look good on my projects.  Have you found them yet?

HINT:  They are die cut with the Copper Foil sheets.  They are the tiny circles on either side of the sentiment of two cards and the arrow looking thing at the bottom of the sentiment of the other card.

 

Until next time....Buzzz you later.
