Stamp and Create May Challenge ~ Flowers

Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start :)

Here is my card for the new Stamp and Create May Challenge with a theme of Flowers. I used this sweet Wild Rose Studio's Flower Heart stamp.

This is a very simple layout but that lets the sweet image shine. The scalloped vellum and stitched mats were cut using Mama Elephant dies.

Reindeer Flying ~ Stamp and Create

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great week-end and a good start to this week. Last week in November! Let the Holiday Cheer begin!

For my DT make for Stamp and Create this week, I created another tag and this time it features a pretty sweet reindeer!

The image is Reindeer Flying from Wild Rose Studio stamps. He looks so happy and eager to be out flying :) I colored him with copics, masked him and then added the background with Distress Inks. (Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass, Dusty Concord and Chipped Sapphire.

The tag was created using a Whiff of Joy tag die. I added some snowflakes and faux stitching using a Sharpie Poster Paint pen. Then I just added some ribbon and twine and my tag was done :)

Here is the latest from Stamp and Create!

As a reminder, we are closed this week for Thanksgiving. 

While we are away, the entire store is At Least 15% off!!

Happy Monday! I had a glorious day digging through my garden yesterday. So lovely to see all the buds on the branches and lovely fresh green sprouts poking through the soil. I got dirty and more than a few scratches as I worked at cleaning up debris, but was happy as a clam. Not so fun was discovered a burrow hole that leads to underneath our platform deck….not quite sure just what has taken up residence in there. EEK!

My crocuses are a source of happiness….I keep looking out into the backyard to admire them:

and…I got quite a lot accomplished on my newest quilting project…..

Here is is spread out on my dining room table…Sigh……just love these happy, bright color blocks :)

Here is my Stamp & Create Project for this week:

I have created an insert for my Project Life album using the incredibly sweet Wild Rose Studio Image: Tilly with Rose. I was competely unable to resist him. and he was color up so quickly! To add furthur embellishment, I added this sweet Strawberry charm. The paper was a wee scrap from my bin, and I used a Martha Stewart punch to create the border.

Stamp & Create ~ Raining Roses

Happy Monday Everyone! I have a sick little boy home with me today. He seems to have a pretty heavy cold and is so quiet and out of it. Such a change from his usual energetic, happy self. Hopefully he will be feeling more himself soon but for the moment, I get to take care of him and cuddle and fuss over him.

Today I have my Stamp & Create card to share with you.

I have used Raining Roses from Wild Rose Studio Stamps. This is such a sweet image and I plan to use this as my insert for last week in my Project Life album.

The patterned paper is from Echo Park's Love story pack. I also added my favorite crochet lace and a double heart charm.

Here is the Stamp and Create new for this week:

Happy Tuesday! I didn’t get around to posting this yesterday. The kids had a ped day and so my routine was thrown in disarray :)

Here is my Stamp & Create DT card:

I fell in love with this stamp when I first saw it and had to have it. It reminds me of that moment in Disney’s Dumbo when his mother is cradling him in the same way. I only saw it once as a child but it stayed with me. The stamp is Bella Sleeping from Wild Rose Studio. There are so many cute new Bella stamps in the store and I will admit that I got myself quite a few.

I tried something a little different in the coloration. I stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and thenused prismacolor pencils to color. I didn’t use any OMS. Instead I burnished the colors together using lighter pencils. I am pretty happy with my first attempt.

I also used MME Lucky in Love patterned paper as well as some pink wrinkled ribbon, the Bow Easy and adhesive gemstones.

Here is this week’s Stamp & Create candy:

Say it in Crystals - Vintage Swirl 4.5"x4.5" Gray from Prima

Stamp & Create Product Spotlight ~ Charms

***ETA: I have added my card now. Oops!***

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday! I was showered with hugs and gorgeous home-made gifts from my boys and a beautiful bouquet of flowers from hubby.

I received a Magnolia tree from my crew last Mother’s Day and today, the first blossom opened up! Such a nice surprise. I have had to wait a whole year to see the blossoms of my tree. BTW, much to the amusement of my children, I named my tree, She is Maggie May. You know….Magnolia….I received her in May ;)

I have a couple of pictures I would love to share with you. I think these are the most beautiful spring trees.

Here is the single open blossom:

 

and here are others that are almost ready to open up:

Now, on to my card that I am sharing with you today! The product spotlight over at Stamp & Create this week is: Charms. That means that all charms will be 25% off. I think they are such a sweet way to add that little extra touch to your card. I just want to let you know that Lacey has added a whole bunch of new paper pads (yummy) and has re-stocked a lot of the more popular stamps!

For my card, I used the sweet Wild Rose stamps "Milton with Teddy". I colored him in with copic sketch markers. Such a quick and easy image to color. I stamped him out again on masking paper and then airbrushed around him to create a nice, soft background.

I added the "Love" charm to the main image panel with some baker's twine tied in a small bow.

The patterned paper is from MME Stella Rose collection and I layered two types of ribbon: ivory wrinkled and champagne net. I like layering my ribbon, I think it is such a nice look.

The sentiment is from Verve Stamps and I stamped it directly onto my card. I like this less fussy look.

I am entering this into the Papertake challenge which is anything goes!

Thanks for stopping by and have a tremendous day!

Hugs Jeanette
