A blue and peaceful Christmas

Hello and good Friday morning stamping friends!  I am popping in to share a card I've made. With my girls being home for three weeks for their Fall break I did not get much stamping done, but I was able to sneak in  little time and create this very blue and white Christmas card. For my card I've used  the set "O Christmas Tree" and a bunch of embellishments. Have a look and see for yourself


P e a c e

I am not sure you can see, but I sprayed the image layer with Lindy's Stamp Gang Glitz Spritz in Scintillating Silver and the shimmer is amazing. It looks like snow crystals :D. Maybe a little side shot of the card will show it a little better

For that extra little touch I also added a little dove, I don't know about you, but when I think of peace the peace dove comes to mind, so I've added one.

Recipe:

Paper: Classics Card stock in silver gray, SU Buckaroo Blue, PTI White,  The DP I believe is BoBunny, but if I am wrong please correct me. :D

Stamps: ODBD "O Christms Tree"

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, VersaMark, opaque white embossing powder

Accessories: Lindy's Stamp Gang Glitz Spritz in Scintillating Silver, white Mulberry roses, acrylic flowers, Zva Creative pearl flourishes, Recollections half pearls, Deco Art Glamour Dust, clear rhinestone gem, small dove, Spellbinders Floral Ovals, Petite Ovals Large, Decorative Labels 1, lace with pearl trim

So, what do you think? I know this is not a card you want to mass produce and mail out, but I thought for a very special friend, lovingly wrapped in lots of bubble wrap and mailed with a little extra care it would be alright. ;D


Oh, before I leave you, I have an announcement to make. Since 48 hours have passed since I announced the winner of  the Birthday Hop candy I was giving in honor of Kelley's 50th Birthday, my first pick has not contacted me, so I did use Random.org again and this time it pulled  Cindy K..

Cindy K.  please contact me right here on my Blog or via e-mail at sjbutterflydreams at gmail dot com. You also will have 48 hours to contact me.

Edited: Sorry, Cindy K. time has run out!!!

Hello stamping friends!  It's me again. Yeah, I know two days in a roll, LOL! I have a fun card to share with you all that I came up with using the "Be Joyful" stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs. If you have not checked this stamp set out, you just have to. It includes such whimsy flourish images and fun sentiments. For my card I've used the larger of the flourished images to create my own Designer Paper. I started out with a plain pink paper from the Basic Grey Out of Print stack and stamped the large flourish all over in THDI Aged Mahogany. To finish it off I simply added some Dusty Rose Glitter Glue and voila, my DP was done.  Have a look and see for yourself


Just for You

Recipe:

Paper:  PTI Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, Basic Grey Out Of Print

Stamps: ODBD Be Joyful

Ink: Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Aged Mahogany

Accessories: Spellbinders Asian Accents, Cheery Lynn Designs Exotic Butterflies Small, Glitter Glue in Dusty Rose, white braided trim, cotton crochet lace


What do you think? Isn't this super fun?

If you have not seen the September release by Our Daily Bread Designs, you should hurry on up and check it out. So many wonderful sets!

Well, this is it for me, gotta run and get dinner started. It is already 4:35 pm and I have not taken anything out of the freezer yet.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I truly appreciate all of your comments!

Hugs and blessings,

Well, hello there!

Well, hello there stamping friends! I have a card to share with you all today that I have made using two of Our Daily Bread Designs September release. The first one is called "Lilac" and the second "Be Joyful". I tell you, with the Lilac stamp you can add any sentiment or scripture and you are set for any occasion! I also love the "Be Joyful" set. This set includes so many sweet sentiments and are done in such a fun font, they will bring  smile on your face.

Here is what I came up with for today's card

Recipe:

Paper:   PTI White, SU Pale Plum, Prima Nature Garden

Stamps: ODBD Be Joyful   and   Lilac

Inks: Memento London Fog

Accessories: Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry doily die, Spellbinders Classic Circles Large, Fancy Frames Tags One, Recollections half pearls, lilac and white lace from my stash

So, what do you think?   I thought this would make a sweet little card to add to a special little gift for a friend, or a "just because" card to give to a friend who need a little pick me up.

I thank you for stopping by today and pray that you will have a blessed day!

Hugs,

Shout For Joy!!

Hello and happy Wednesday sweet blogging friends!  I m popping in today to share a very masculine card I have made using one of the September release stamp set by Our Daily Bread Design  called "Keep Climbing". I know I have said it many times before, I have a bit of a hard time coming up with designs for more masculine cards, so I was playing around a little and this is what I came up with


Shout For Joy

Recipe:

Paper: PTI Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate

Stamps: ODBD  Keep Climbing

Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Tea Dye, Vintage Photo

Accessories:   Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Classic Circles Large, Twill ribbon, Twine ribbon, assorted buttons (from my stash)

So, what d you think? Does this qualify as masculine? I know this is way different from what I usually do, but I am sure that men don't necessarily go for lace, flowers and all kinds of embellishments. :D;D   I know my hubby is more of a simplistic kind of guy, so I was aiming for it!

Well, this is it for me for right now! Thanks so much for stopping by! I do appreciate each and every comment.

Have a blessed and super creative day!

Hugs,
