Paper Roses

One of my most popular items in my shop. These spiral paper roses always look so nice. You can make them out of any paper. They will never die or wilt and add an unique flare to any project.

So Sweet

I had some stamped images that some of my followers sent me (swaps). I decided to color them, like they were intended to be. I have had them for years and they need to be showcased into cards. Here is one I just made for Valentines.

Party Lucy Cards

I used Party Lucy by CC Designs to create these cards. She is colored with pencil.

Turtle Cards

Oh, Snap

 

Thinking of You

 Shellibrate!

I gave this one to my neice for her birthday

All cards were colored with Spectrum Noir markers. The stamp set is by The Stamps of Life (July's issue 2012). I am trying to make more cards with all of my stamps. I find it easier and more productive to make several of them at once.

Golden Anniversary

My parents are going to be celebrating their 50th anniversary this month. We are having a party to recognize that this is truly a wonderful achievement for any couple. Love this strong deserves to be noticed by all. With all that goes on I made it a point to take the time to design and make their invitations. It is my little way of saying thank you: I appreciate that they beat the odds and gave us hope that love is the glue to happiness.

Base of the card is an A6 white card
Mat is gold paper and white embossed fleur de lis pattern (Spellbinders, Impressablilities)
Lacey Spellbinders Nestablilities medium circle die in gold paper
Paper white ribbon edged with gold embossing powder
White top note (EK Success punch) with gold embossed "50th"
Inside is a 50th wedding poem that reads:

A Golden Couple

Half a century ago, they say,
A wonderful marriage began that day.
Two beautiful people joined as one,
And worked together to make living fun.

We celebrate now those fifty years;
We raise our glass and give three cheers:
To partners in life in both work and play,
It’s our pleasure to share your golden day.

Happy 50th Anniversary!

Baby Shower Banner

I made a new baby shower banner for a customer. She wanted it to read "It's a Boy" and in the theme of Winnie the Pooh. She sent me a photo of the nursery and the bedding. I decided to go with the same look as the comforter. Peek a boo, images of Winnie and his friends. The nursery is brown and white with polka dots.

Each piece has a white base (flower shape) with a brown circle. I choose not to use pattern paper on this banner because there is 4 character, with lots of color. I used white gel pen and decorated the brown circle bases with faux stitching. The images were created from the Disney collection cartridges Pooh Font and Pooh and Friends by Cricut. The honey pots are chalked with brown, to make them "pop". There are two different types of brown and white polka dot ribbon used to tie each piece together.

I am still not quit sure if I will post this as a new item in my shop. I may need to adjust some things and create a similar banner to post in the future.
