Cozy Cottage

I made this card awhile back and just never got around to photographing it.  Today, was a good day to share this with you as I am preparing for my Open House for tomorrow.  At the time that I made this card, I was experimenting with the Brusho Crystal Colour and thought this detailed hostess stamp set called Cozy Cottage would be perfect to use with it.

I love this stamp set embossed.  It makes it look soft like a cozy cottage should feel.  Gold embossing paired with Vanilla cardstock is fantastico if you ask me.  (Note: I did use watercolor paper for the main panel and then attached it to a Thick Very Vanilla card base).

I sprayed the watercolor paper with water and carefully shook Prussian Blue in the sky area and Yellow and Mossy Green in the rest of the area.  I then sprayed it a little more and then ended up grabbing my Aqua Painter to blend the blue for the sky a little bit more.  I got lucky as it turned out even better than I thought for my first go. :)


As I was adding the sentiment, I thought how great it would be to send this to my mom, but she has been gone for quite some time now.  However, I do have a perfect person to send this to- my daughter who stayed in her college town to work for the summer.  I barely get to see that busy girl, and this will be perfect to send to her. :)

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 ...
