 Back again!

At the end of December I came across these stamp sets from Close To My Heart.

I think they had been available earlier in 2020, but I never saw them.

Knew the Pandemic and life at home would go on for a bit longer, 

I figured it would be okay to spend some money on them.  

There were a few sets, but I chose these 2.

The Great Indoors.

Through Thick And Thin.

Cute.....right?

This card will be entered into the following Challenges;

Simon Says Monday, Love/Heart.

Room With A View

Good Monday Morning!

 

Today I am sharing with you my very first post as a new member of the Design Team at the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.  YAY!

My first card uses the fantastic Large Madison Window Set, by Poppystamps.

I die cut the window and window box out of white card stock, the flowers from pink and yellow and the vines from 2 different shades of green.  Flowers and vines I cut several times to fill that glorious window box with pretty Spring posies.  Behind the window I placed some Polka Dot Designer Paper to mimic wallpaper and added a piece of lace as my curtain, and Vellum for my pane of glass.  This was all mounted on fun foam, giving the window scene some depth and dimension.  Assembled my flowers and placed in the window box.  Some have pearl centers some have little seed beads.  Brick Embossing Folder tinted with a bit of Antique Linen ink for my house.  The addition of the sweet little house sentiment. 

For my second card I used the same exact die set.

I've always wondered what would be on the other side of window scene cards.

I created this in the exact same manner, only from inside the house looking out.  Polka Dot Designer Paper for my wallpaper and white bead board with chair rail, which was made by scoring the white card stock every 1/4".  Tree image stamped, Vellum and lace added to complete my scene.  Again, mounting all on fun foam.  This time I found the window box would make a perfect place to stamp my sentiment.   Mini Candy Dots for accents.

 

Sentiments from Gina K Designs, Home Is and Home Tweet Home.

I love that this die set has everything you need to create wonderful rooms with views.  ONE die set, Large Madison Window Set, by Poppystamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you soon!

Celebrate The Everyday

Good Morning!  Another foot of snow....oh joy!  BUT, it does make perfect crafting weather!  There's always and upswing!

I made this fantastic little tag for the Challenge over at Papertrey Ink, Create Along With Us!  As you probably know they have been celebrating 9 years and have many Challenges to play along in, this happens to be #4.....I have managed to play along with them all so far.  So, I guess it could keep snowing! 

I was inspired by Danielle's little tag.

 

LOVE the sentiment on Danielle's Tag!

 

 

I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets, City Scene (and dies) and Pretty Petals.  I first used the 'road' stamp and made a plaid background on the base of my tag, using ink in Dove Grey and Tuxedo Black.  That little road comes in quite handy, I have used it for other types of stamping too, not just roads. lol  Then I cut the buildings and trees using the dies and stamped them all up.  It was kind of fun creating my 'little neighborhood', especially without snow!

 

 

Let's celebrate the everyday!

 

Thanks for coming by.....careful on the walkway!

 

Enjoy~~



Cheers! Happy New Home!

Good Morning!  Another rainy April day, c'mon May flowers!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at PTI, White On White Die Cuts With A Pop Of Color.

I must say I was quite intimidated with this technique at first, and then I just rolled with it!

 

 

I used Papertrey Ink's Uncorked stamp and die set, I love these products! (for obvious reasons lol)  I die cut 7 wine bottles out, stamping only one in Bermuda Bay and Wild Wasabi inks, then covered the entire image with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, the sparkle and sine is AH-mazing! Sentiments are also stamped in Bermuda Bay. Die cut the sentiment banner, included in the set. Copic Markers used to color the small adhesive pearls to coordinate the color.

 

 

See that sparkle?  See that shine?  Yowza!

 

Thanks so much for popping by, appreciate you doing so.

 

Enjoy~~
