Window Box 2

Good Morning!

Another Window Box Card which will be entered into the Challenge at Dies R Us, April Showers Bring May Flowers.  And I am thankful for that!!!

I created this card when I made the other Window Box card, so the instructions are the same for the first part;

I started by creating my wood grain background to mimic the house or shed you might find this window box hanging on. I used Distress Inks in, Antique Linen and Weathered Wood, and then some White ink as well.  I used an EK Success Border Punch to create the box portion, 2 rows of this particular punch.

The flowers were made using a Martha Stewart punch, but this particular punch is a bit different in it punches out only portions of the flower, so I hand cut them out, just had to snip a little bit away from the center on each petal.  I don't think I have ever used it properly.  I'll have to look that up.  lol  Sizzix Branch With Leaves die and Copic Marker colored Adhesive Pearls. 

 



The sentiment is from Gina K Designs, One In A Million, stamped in Garden Green ink.

 

I really enjoyed making these Window Box cards.  They make me HAPPY!

 

Thanks for coming by!

 

Enjoy~~

 



Window Box 1

Good Afternoon!  Hope you all have some fun plans for your upcoming weekend! My daughter, soon to be son in law, and grand fur baby are coming down........wedding stuff!  YAY!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Curtain Call, Bouquet.

 

I wanted to go BIGGER than a bouquet and made a whole window box!  I started by creating my wood grain background to mimic the house or shed you might find this window box hanging on. I used Distress Inks in, Antique Linen and Weathered Wood, and then some White ink as well.  I used an EK Success Border Punch to create the box portion, 2 rows of this particular punch.  The flowers are from PTI's Daydreamer set, and were stamped in Stampin' Up! inks in Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Garden Green (grass on the inside).   I stamped off on some of the flowers to create different shades.  All fussy cut out---but I just ordered the die set last night at 10 p.m. lol  Sizzix Branch With Leaves die.  Some of the flowers have been popped up on 3D dots to create dimension. 

Sentiment from Gina K Designs, One In A Million stamp set.  Now if I could only get my window boxes to look like this!

 

If I am not playing in the dirt, I will be stamping an instant garden!

CAS Butterfly

Good Morning!

Quick post.  This simple little card will be entered into the Challenge at the Mod Squad, Butterfly Focal.

 

Using a Spellbinders Classic Circle die,  I made a mask and stamped the 'wordy' stamp from Gina K Designs, Botanicals stamp set into the circle.  The sentiment is from her One In A Million set. The butterfly is an EK Success 3 part punch.  I used purple and glitter card stocks and Vellum for the layers.  Added a trail of rhinestones and a larger one to top off the butterfly.

 

This card is already winging it's way west!

 

Thanks for coming by.

Summer Colors, Summer Flowers

Hello Again!

I have one more card for you today.  This will be entered into the following Challenges;

Mod Squad Blog Summer Colors

Simon Says Wednesday You've Gotta Have Friends

My Favorite Things Sketch

 

And here is my creation:

 

 

I used 3 sets of stamps from Gina K Designs, One In A Million, Stamper's Favorites, and Up And Away.  I stamped the flowers image 3 times, made a mask to do so.  All flowers were colored with Copic Markers, I tried to match the background Designer Paper.  Each flower center has a dot of Liquid Pearls.  A little ribbon, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and a itty bitty tag for the sentiment.  This card will be mailed off to Gina's Mom, Ruth, who is recuperating after a nasty fall.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Enjoy~~





Have A Happy Day!

Good Afternoon!

Today's card is a simple creation made for the Mod Squad Blog, Going Gingham Challenge.

I mixed several stamp sets from Gina K Designs, One In A Million, True Love, and Warm Spring Wishes.  I stamped the floral vine 3 times switching directions in the top right one, colored with Copic Markers, vine traced with a Sakura Glitter Pen as well as the berries.  A wide black and white gingham ribbon and several adhesive black pearls were added.  I love the sentiment, who wouldn't?

Thanks for popping on in.  May you all have a HAPPY day!

Enjoy~~

An Apple A Day

Happy Fall Y'All!  What a difference a day or two make, changes the weather.....changes the population here.....changes my attitude!  Oh not really, I am always happy.....thankfully!

Today's card will be entered in the CASology Challenge, Week # 60, Apple.

Using my Silhouette Cameo I cut 3 layers of an apple shape.  This machine is quite amazing.  If you look at the veins on the leaves, see how teeny they are?  The Cameo cut them without any problem, simply amazing!

 

 

Just a sweet little card, nothing fancy, no frills!
