Hello everyone!

It’s time for another challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps! My goodness the last month went by way too fast!

I printed this little cutie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

It took me a little bit to figure out the perfect paper and the right design for this darling image. I ended up using paper from Bella Blvd, Echo Park and digital paper. The pencils were fussy cut from the paper I chose.

Hi friends!

I’ve joined in with the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Design Team for the September challenge. The months theme is ‘Layers or Clean and Simple’. I struggle with the ‘Clean and Simple’ theme designs, so layers it is!

My card today was created with this ever so adorable cutie from All Dressed Up Stamps called Potted Plants. I couldn’t resist giving her cute gardening clothes with flowers on them…and they are the perfect color…PINK!!

I printed this little sweetheart on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

Hello friends!

I’m finally back after some much needed time off…and I’m excited to say I will be designing for All Dressed Up Stamps once again!!

Today I am sharing this super adorable image from All Dressed Up Stamps called ‘Love to Knit‘. I am a knitter at heart, and this seriously makes me want to start a new sweater for winter!!

I printed this sweetheart at a height of 3.5″ on X-Press It Blending card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, 31, E30, YR23
Pinks: RV14, R43, R32, R20, RV10
Grays: C4, C3, C1, C0, Colorless Blender
White Gel Pen
Fine details added with Prismacolor Colored Pencils


I was lucky enough to find a few knit theme dies in my stash. The knit stitch die worked perfect for the background and how adorable is that little ball of yarn? The knitting needles are a cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. I created the sentiment on my computer.

Hello friends!

I’m back again today with another project using gorgeous Altenew products.

My card features the beautiful clear stamp set called Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums.

I had a hard time choosing a color for these beauties! I always seem to reach for the pinks…oops!!


I stamped these beautiful flowers on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils.

I used the pretty border die called Creative Edges: Scalloped Scallops Die Set as the base for the bottom band. I added a layer of gold card stock as the second layer, carefully measuring just above the detail from the scallop side to where I wanted it from the top edge. For the top layer I used a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock scored in the middle, and then every 3/8″ in both directions.


A few tiny white pearls from my stash were added to the scallop detail. Lastly, I added a few gorgeous Altenew’s Satin Gold Sequins to my card. The sparkle is the perfect final touch.

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Hello and welcome!

I am back today after a little break away from crafting. I have been working on setting up some more crafty space to work in. Hoping it will be done soon.

Imagine how excited I was when Altenew asked if I would be interested in working on a collaborated post with them. I have always loved their beautiful products, so of course I said yes…how exciting!!!

For today’s project I focused on these gorgeous flowers from the Craft-A-Flower: Cistus Layering Die Set. The extra greenery is from the die set called Leaf Mix Die Set.

All the flower and leaf pieces were die cut from watercolor paper and then colored with Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set. Once these pieces were dry, I added some accents with gold craft paint.


I knew I wanted the flowers to be dimensional so I only glued them in the center portion. This would allow me to bend and curl the layers of petals.

I stamped the stripe background with the stamp set called Pinstripe Stamp Set. The eye catching shape I used for the sentiment base is from the Labels & Tags 2 Die Set. This piece was ink splattered with the same watercolor paints and gold craft paint that I used above.

The sentiment is from the Bold Bouquet Stamp Set. I also used the matching Bold Bouquet Die Set.

The black lacy border is from the Creative Edges: Scalloped Scallops Die Set.

I really love how this project turned out!!

Hello friends!

I am back today with my final project as a design team member for I Am Roses. I have decided to take some time and just craft for fun for a while.

My card today features a little cutie from Magnolia Stamps. She is part of the Pop Up Box called ‘Gingerbread ‘ from 2022.

This little gingerbread cutie was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and was colored with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, E30
Browns: E55, E33, E31, E30
Reds: R39, R37, R35, R32
White Gel Pen


The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used on my card are:

R22-78/D – Puffy Roses (1-1/4”or3cm) Mixed Red- White
S10-15 – Size 5/8″ or 1.5 cm – Small Achillea Cottage – WHITE
R2-15 – Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses
LY3-15 – White Small Lily Paper Flowers
R6-15 – Size 1″ or 2.5 cm White Open Roses Paper Flowers
S10/xs-15 – Mini Achillea Cottage – WHITE
R3-147 – Size 3/4″ or 2cm Yellow Cream Open Roses


I trimmed and cut portions of die cuts so they are just peeking out the top and the right side of the main image piece. It adds just a little bit of something extra to the card.


To make the red balance out on both sides I needed a small amount of red in the flowers above her , however I didn’t have any smaller flowers that were a soft red. To accomplish this I removed the yellow stamen out of the center of the little white flower and glued in a red sticky back gem…just the right amount of red!

Hello and welcome everyone!

My design team project for I Am Roses today features this super sweet digital stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps called Christmas Bear Hugs.

Before printing I brought the image into Photoshop and removed the print in her headband so I could create my own pattern.

I printed this adorable image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E53, E99, YR21
Reds: R59, R46, R29, R27, R08, R05
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Grays: W3, W1, W0, W00
White Gel Pen

The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used on my card are:

R3-15 – Size 3/4″ or 2cm White Open Roses
LY3-15 – White Small Lily Paper Flowers
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R2-839 – Mini 1/4″ or 1cm Mixed All Green – White Open Roses  
R2-15 – Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses 
LY3-161 – Soft Green Mini Lily Crafts Paper Flowers
R5-15 – Indian Jasmine (1″or2.5cm) White Paper Flowers

When it came to arranging the flowers I decided I didn’t want the large red flower quite so big, so I took the bottom row of petals off and glued the green leaves back on. For the right side I used that row of red petals that I removed, and glued them together to appear like a small flower bud.
