#myfavoritestampmonday Floral Borders and Sentiment D2018

 

Make 'n Take Monday features #myfavoritestampmonday Floral Borders and Sentiments D2018 and #mycolorofthemonth Flamingo.


In the video, I am sharing how to line up a border stamp using a score line created on your trimmer with a bone folder. There is plenty of shine using Flamingo shimmer trim and the Flamingo shimmer brush.

#myfavoritestampmonday Hillside Cottage - Scrapbooking (D2015)

 

Hillside Cottage - Scrapbooking (D2015 or with coordinating thin cuts Z3947) is my favorite stamp for May 10th! It worked perfectly to create the title for one of the upcoming June Virtual Crop layouts - 1 Recipe 3 Ways. It is a beautiful step stamp set, which means you stamp it in steps to create the look.

Colorful Cardstock Fun

Finished the first of many cute Little Piggies cards created using These Little Piggies Album Workshop Kit CC42111. 

The bundle comes with SO MUCH amazing cardstock in a rainbow of colors. I love the double sided cardstock. The scallop circle uses the dark side of Flamingo and the mat is the light side -- two in one!!

The little pig stamp image is colored with the Light Pink Triblend marker, the balloon is colored with the Flamingo Shimmer Brush. The White Daisy is random stamped with one of the two outline hearts from the stamp set. I used Intense Black ink when stamping the pig image and dye based Black ink for the sentiment. I added silver silk thread behind the sentiment piece to add some more shimmer. Flamingo is my color of the month --

I will continue using the other colors of cardstock to create more cards!! You can get your bundle HERE!

Make 'n Take Monday

 I had so much fun playing with the new Sunburst Background Thin Cuts Z3942 and the Hillside Cottage paper collection! I teamed it with #myfavoritestampmonday stamp set, Spot-on Sentiments  B1741

Flowers For You S2105

 April showers brings May flowers. What a wonderful sentiment for this month's Stamp of the Month, Flowers for You S2105.

A floral border and a large floral circle bouquet are just the beginning of what is a beautiful stamp set complete with lovely sentiments in a variety of fonts.

The images lend themselves to several mediums including emboss resist using distress oxide ink. Another bonus, the floral circle is the perfect size for our circle shaker.

Enjoy

Friendship is a Blessing

 My favorite stamp set Monday is Friendship is a Blessing from the Lest We Forget special. It is a beautiful floral stamp set showcasing poppies and dogwoods.

The project I am working on is for a card swap. I used Triblend markers, shimmer brush, and the single poppy flower. The sentiment means so much to me because it is so true.

Would you love to join one of our swaps? I would love to have you join my Facebook Group.

May Alcohol Coloring Club

 

Our May Alcohol Coloring Club stamp set is Daisy Meadows - Scrapbooking (D2012). We will be learning a cool technique using Burnt Orange TriBlend™ and Z2520 Yellow Green TriBlend™ Markers.

The Daisy Meadows - Scrapbooking stamp set has beautiful images that will let us add accent pieces using Z2849 Peacock Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad.

And we have to make the inside and the envelope just as beautiful.

This will be the project shared during class.

Combining Stamp Sets

A card featuring #myfavoritestampmonday Daisy Meadows Scrapbooking (D2012 stamp only/Z3932 with thin cuts), stamp image, border, and frame thin cuts, and brick wall embossing folder. Love how everything worked together so well. This was inspired by another card I saw on our Maker's FB group (another reason to be a Close To My Heart Maker!)

The butterfly is colored with Burnt Orange Spectrum Noir alcohol marker. The envelope and the sentiment are stamped with April's Stamp of the Month images.

I will share the inside sentiment in a future post.
