Warmest Wishes

Good Wednesday to you. I had a nice visit with my family this past weekend. I had too much birthday cake and my sister's great chicken 'n dumplins'! I got to spoil my great-niece and great-nephew who are 5 and 1. Both have birthdays seven days apart, so we celebrated with two birthday parties, which always includes homemade ice cream. It's a good thing I live four hours away.

For today's card I pulled my "Scentsational Season" stamp and die combo from Stampin' Up! I cut the candy cane down to fit the mug. I love this set and will use it alot.

Supplies I used:

Card base is Very Vanilla from S.Up!, cut to make a 5 x 5 card.
Kraft cardstock from Hobby Lobby and Ruby Slipper solid cardstock from Bazzille.
 "A Heartwarming Holiday" pattern packet from Paper Studio, purchased at Hobby Lobby.
The "Warmest Wishes" sentiment is from There She Goes stamps.
Nestibilities large round circles and small scallops circles.
Stampin' Up! word window and modern label punch.
Cherry cobbler and Close to Cocoa  stamp pads from S.Up!
Cherry Cobbler ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy stamping!

Paper Rose

Happy Tuesday. Today I tried something different for me. I have stamped on tissue before, but I thought I would try to use the tissue to give some dimension to a flower. I chose this rose stamp.

I stamped the rose on to white cardstock. I then stamped four roses on to white tissue paper. I  colored the rose on the cardstock. I then colored  each of the roses on the tissue. Are you with me? I then cut the first rose out of the tissue. Then cut another one but cutting smaller following the pattern of the rose. Each time I cut a smaller layer. I did the same with the rosebud. I crunched each layer up and opened it back up.I then glued each  tissue, layer by layer to the rose on the card stock.

Supplies used on this card:

Base of card is Rose Red solid card stock from S.Up!

Rose Red designer paper from S.Up!

White card stock

"Rose Stem" stamp from Inkadinkado

Sentiment is from the stamp set "Watercolor Trio" from S.Up!

Large circle and large circle scallop for "Spellbinder's" nestibilities

Large scallop border die from " My Favorite Things".

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Today I want to take a minute and extend prayers to all the families who lost love ones 11 years ago today. We will never forget!

Welcome to my blog. Today's card was cased from a card I found on the web. I changed the card up by adding gold cord, a jingle bell, and gold brads. The card uses all Stampin'  Up products except the gold pieces added. The base of the card is Gumball Green. The designer paper is "Be of Good Cheer". The stamps I used were from "Scentsational Seasons" and " Chock-Full of Cheer".

  

I hope you find time to come back here, again and again!
