Tea Shoppe Birthday

When I saw this set I knew I wanted to use it for my Mom's 83rd Birthday, which just happens to be today, Jan 27th.

The colors I used were N.Q Navy, Baja Breeze and V. Vanilla.  I got the colors from a card I saw on Ann Schach's Blog, love her creations.
I used the Perfect Details texturz plate for the bg N Q Navy.  Stamped the little flower from the set with NQNavy unto First Edition DSP  and inked the edges and layered unto B.Breeze.  The Blender pen was used to color the flowers with same color.
The NQNavy behind the sentiment was die cut using the New Framelits.

To make the flower I punched 3 flowers using the Fancy Flower punch and sprayed water on them and crumpled them up, then partly opened them up and let dry.  The center is a 5/8" brad dipped in Versa Mark ink and then into Iridescent Ice ep and heat set.

I made a second one for my sister that has a birthday in January as well.  There are Hat Pins in the new mini and I added some beads and crystals and stuck the pointed end into a pop dot under the tea cup.

Thanks for looking at my creations.  Hope I've given you some ideas for playing with your stamps and having fun.  If you have any questions on my creations, please send me an email, I'd be glad to share.

Serene Snowflakes meets Snow Much Fun

Wow!! hard to believe that we're almost finished our second week of October....where does time go.
I've been playing with my Christmas stamps getting ready for classes and a Christmas stamp a stack.

Love these little snowmen in the set Snow Much Fun.
Here I stamped w.white craft ink and bajabreeze ink onto baja breeze cardstock and mounted it onto real red card.
Using my Big Shot (which you can get Free now if you sign up as a demonstrator under me) I die cut the snowflake and put glue on it and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
Colored the hat and scarf with the baja breeze and real red and his nose with punpkin pie pastels.
After this was done I spritzed with the Smooch Vanilla Shimmer.
You can't pick that up on the photo, but it gives it a very soft shimmer.

Purse-onally Lattice

Summer is here and I've been busy enjoying the great weather we`ve been getting, so not much stamping going on!  Going to have to start playing with some of the new goodies that have arrived at my door this past week. 

I did take time to create a quick card using the Round Tab punch and circle punches to make purses for the front.  Used the In Colors - Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, & Poppy Parade with Early Espresso.  Embossed  the purse with the square lattice EF and added a pearl to the purse flap.  Die cut a scallop circle and Lattice to add some dimension.  Added some Poppy Parade, and Pear Pizzazz DSP for background.  Left the scallop circle blank and will add sentiment on top when needed.

Best Wishes First Edition

This card is basically the same layout as the one posted Here but on this card I used the First Edition DSP in the Occasions mini.  Did some more of the distressing technique......added the Vanilla Smooch spritz on the Fun flower die flower.  Stamped the En Francais on the Vanilla cardstock and used the early espresso marker in the Color  Spritzer Tool for more distressing.

Fun Flowers Best Wishes

Spring is in the "Air"....at least the temps are in the minus single digits during the day.
I can hardly wait to get out working in my yard and play in my flower beds.  But for now I'll have to play with paper flowers...lol!
Not much stampin on this card but I love the vintage look and all the playing you can do on this style of card.
Stamped the En Francais with the C.Cake ink on the V.Vanilla textured cs.  Used the color spritzer to add some splatters on the flower, sentiment and V.Vanilla card.  On the flower I sprayed the Vanilla Shimmer spritz after inking the edges.  The Swirly Sizzlit strip addssome dimension to cards that I really like, without making it look busy.
