Hello and welcome everyone!

Mother’s Day is coming up, and for once I will be ready!

My design team card for I Am Roses was designed with my Mother-in-Law in mind. The gorgeous flowers are perfect for the beautiful diecuts and the foral paper.

Star Dust Stickles was added to the edges of the large peach flowers. Glitter without a doubt makes everything better…lol!!

The cream scalloped eyelet diecut in the background was actually a rectangle, but needed it to be square for my card. The make it work I cut part of it out and glued it back together, hiding the seam behind the olive ribbon.

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

R2-15 -Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R8-921 – 5/8″ or 1.5 cm White – Tiny Soft Pink Center
R2-200 – Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm Mixed 20 Open Roses

Hi friends!

Did you set any goals for yourself for 2023? My goal is to use stamps I have in my stash. I am one that tends to want all the new adorable and cute things that come out…but then I never use what I already have. This year it’s time to change things up.

So…I pulled out this little cutie from my collection of Gorjuss Stamps called ‘I Love You Little Rabbit’ to create with for my I Am Roses design team card. I have had her for years and had never taken her out of the package…oops!!

I added pretty ribbon to a die cut panel to bring in a little more color and detail to my card.

Spring Hair Do

March 22, 2022March 25, 20224 Comments

Hi friends!

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this gorgeous image called Spring Hair Do from All Dressed Up Stamps!! How lucky I am to get to work with her for my DT project..woot woot!! I love ALL things girly and pink…lol! Maybe that’s why the good Lord blessed me with three beautiful daughters and no sons.

I left it without a sentiment as she could be used for so many occasions…and she is just too pretty to add words to.

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

~Copics~
Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00

Greens: YG61, YG01
Grays: W1, W0, W00
Shadow: BG72, BG70, RV0000, Colorless Blender

I wanted pleated ribbon to add on the bottom of the card, but of course they didn’t have any at the fabric store…so I bought flat ribbon and pleated it myself. The dies are from Lal-La Land Crafts and CC Designs.

The gorgeous flowers I used on my card are from I Am Roses.
R4-2 Arabian Jasmine Soft Pink Flowers
LY3-188 Pale Lilac Mini Lily Crafts Paper Flowers
