Special Camellia

 


My friends and neighbors have suffered so much loss in the past 2 years... they are really having a rough time with many family members passing away. With this passing, my friend is now the only sibling left of 10 children. I'm sure it's gotta be hard knowing that you are the only sibling left. I know they both know that all their siblings are in heaven and they will meet again someday!
Hugs to the family!

I chose the 'Calming Camellia' stamp set, as it has a soft flower effect when stamped in Gray Granite. I added 'Wink of Stella' to the petals to make them sparkle. (Sorry you can't appreciate the effect with my photography skills)

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamp sets - Calming Camellia, Special Moments
Ink - Gray Granite
Paper - Gray Granite, Basic White
Accessories - Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine, Rectangle Stitched dies, Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon, Wink of Stella, glue dots, dimensionals

Bloom Gorgeous

 


My niece loves the color pink... as I do too, I wanted to incorporate the 'Polished Pink' cardstock. So, I went with the Pink/Black/White color combo. Classic and Beautiful. The sentiment is from the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set and the flowers are from the 'Flowering Blooms' stamp set.  The designer series paper I used is called 'True Love'. 

I colored the image in using Stampin' Blends (Polished Pink) and added 'Wink of Stella' to make the petals shine.  I also used a stylus to make the die cut shapes pop.

Thanks for dropping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamp sets - Flowering Blooms, Happy Birthday Gorgeous
Ink - Memento, Stampin' Blends (Polished Pink)
Paper - Polished Pink, Basic White, True Love DSP

Conversations Meant

 



I loved the simplicity of the look of the blue/white combo for a masculine Valentine card that I saw on 'Nigezza Creates' card found on Pinterest.  I decided to create one of my own just using the Basic White and Night of Navy combo. Thanks for your inspiration Nigezza!

I used both the 'Sweet Conversations' and the 'Meant to Be' stamp sets on my card.... along with the 'Be Mine Stitched' and 'Sweet Hearts' coordinating dies. The background piece is the 'Stone' embossing folder.

Thanks for taking a closer look.

Sweet Valentine

 


I fell in love with Leah Fedynak's card on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team's facebook post. I decided to try my hand at making one of my own, but changing it up a bit to call it my own. WOW... putting all those hearts together was a feat! LOL! I decided to keep the outline of the row of hearts on each, but changed the color to give it some contrast.

Thanks Leah for your inspiration!

Eden's Moment

 

It's always sad to create a sympathy card for the ones you love. Especially if it's a brother to the person you are a friend to. Hugs to the Chamberlin family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
