Beautiful Rose

 

I saw this card on Pinterest from StampinNightOwl's website. I just knew I needed to create one for myself. I used the smaller rose die from the 'Rose Garden' thinlits... as the bigger one would've been too big for the opening I made. I did use the leaves from the bigger die though.... as opposed to the leaf branch that she used. 

Since my card is a December birthday card, I chose to use Merry Merlot cardstock and ink.  I used an iridescent ribbon that I found on a package that I received (so I'm not sure where it's from).

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Beautiful Birthday

Ink - Merry Merlot

Paper - Whisper White, Whisper White (thick), Merry Merlot

Accessories - Big Shot, Precision Plate, Die Brush, Rose Garden Thinlits, Iridescent Ribbon

Beautiful Blossoms - MDSM58

 

I saw this sketch on the MDS Monday Blog (MDSM58), and wanted to try my hand at creating something with it.  You may view the challenge here....as well as all the projects made with it here: http://mdsmonday.blogspot.com/2014/03/mdsm58-change-it-up.html

Here is the sketch:

The Challenge called for us to use the sketch -- AND -- to use a technique 're-coloring DSP'.
Well, I created the one on the top right first.... then I realized that the challenge wanted you to re-color one of your Designer Series Paper (DSP), as well as use the sketch.  So, I created the one on the top left for the actual challenge.  <--- With digital software....it's so easy to just change one paper -- no ruined paper! lol

I used the Blossoms Abound Kit....along with the Beautiful Birthday stamp.
Thanks for looking!

Beautiful Flowers

There are times when I'm just amazed at all the lovely talent that I find on blogs, websites, Stampin' Connection, Splitcoaststampers..... as well as through Pinterest! Wow!  So, when I saw this lovely card from Chat Wszelaki on Pinterest.... I pinned it immediately in hopes of me creating something similar.

Here's Chat's card that I drew inspiration from:

Then, I saw that Chat got her inspiration from Chris Smith.  Here is Chris' card here:

Like I said..... beautiful inspiration!  So thank you Chat and Chris..... your layouts allowed me to produce my lovely card!

I used My Digital Studio to print the sentiment on Whisper White cardstock (I wanted a elegant sentiment....and most of mine are not too flourish-y. <--- Is that even a word! LOL!)  Anyway, after I printed the sentiment I stamped the 'Best of Flowers' in Pear Pizzazz before I die-cut with the window framelit.

Supplies Used:

Stamp Brush Set - Beautiful Birthday (My Digital Studio)

Stamp Set - Best of Flowers

Paper - Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Ink - Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories - Big Shot, Windows Framelits, Satin Ribbon (Basic Black), Brads (Basic Black), Decorative Dots TIEF, glue dots, dimensionals

Paradise Sail

I created this in My Digital Studio a while back ago.... yet haven't had the chance to print it out until now!  It was so surprisingly easy to create!

The sunset background piece is Designer Series Paper from the Paradise Found Photobook Template (Digital Download).  All I added was the sail boat and the sentiment. I then printed it out on Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to Sahara Sand cardstock.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used - My Digital Studio software; Stampin' Up! products

Paper - Sahara Sand, Whisper White

Background piece - Paradise Found DSP #1

Stamp Brush Sets - Sail Away (sailboat - Basic Black); Beautiful Birthday (sentiment - Basic Black)
