Watermark Easter card...

Hello!  Happy Monday!  I am busy making my Easter cards (at the last minute!) and have one I made this morning to share with you. :)  I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog.  Here's the sketch:
And here's my card:
 As you can see, I used the watermark image from the awesome stamp set called: Happy Watercolor.  As I stated before, my favorite stamp image from the Occasions catalog is the watermark image from this stamp set.  And look how cool it looks with my retired Everybunny stamp set!  Yes, I did water color a few things-rather quickly I might add- after the fact, but you certainly wouldn't need to.  It's such an easy way to add color to your outline stamp images without the hassle of coloring each image! Hoot-hoot!  Isn't this fun?

 I also used my new Fringe scissors again.  First I hand cut a "curve" shape on the Gumball Green piece and then cut it with the my scissors to give it a "grass" look.  Then at the last minute I added a strip of Daffodil Delight on the bottom.  I maybe should have kept either the "grass" theme with it our changed the green piece....but I have to get the Easter cards out...so kept it as is.  What do you think?

RECIPE:
STAMPS: Happy Watercolor and Everybunny (retired)
INK: Memento Black, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Gumball Green
PAPER: Watercolor Garden DSP, Gumball Green and Daffodil Delight card stock
ACCESSORIES: Fringe Scissors, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, Aqua Painter and colored Rhinestones.

Have a great Monday! Happy Stamping!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
