Welcome, crafters!!  Hope your day is going well!  Today’s card share features the ODBD Sweet As Perfume Stamp Set.  (ODBD stands for Our Daily Bread Designs.)  The floral image from this set is a Frangipani!  The Frangipani is also know as the Hawaiian Lei flower.  They come in whites, yellows, pinks, reds, and multiple pastels.  Mine is several colors in the pink family, as I used multiple Copic Sketch Markers to color them.

I created the card in response to a color challenge on the Splitcoaststampers website. The colors chosen for the challenge are two of the 2016-2018 SU In-Colors – Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum, and one from the 2015-2017 SU In-Colors – Cucumber Crush.

After coloring the floral images, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment from the SU Perfectly Penned stamp set.  To finish the card, I added a bow, three strings of beaded pearls, and three crystal drops.  Here are additional photos of the card.

Merry Christmas Poinsettias

Hi, crafters!!  Today I have a great card to share that is a Merry Christmas card featuring Poinsettias!  Yes, I know, it’s July!!  So why am I sharing a Merry Christmas Poinsettias card?  Well, today on Splitcoaststampers, the Clean and Simple Challenge was to create a Christmas card.  Therefore, I created this card and submitted it for the challenge.

Merry Christmas Poinsettias

To make the card, I created two masks of the Poinsettia stamp using Post-it Labeling Tape. I stamped one Poinsettia, masked it, stamped another, masked it, and so on. I stamped and masked until the white card stock was covered in Poinsettias.

Merry Christmas Poinsettias

I colored the Poinsettias with the below Copic Sketch Markers. It only took me all day to color them!!  I adhered a ribbon across the middle of the card stock, stamped my sentiment, die cut the sentiment, added foam tape to the back of the die cut and mounted it onto the front over the ribbon.

I attached this piece to a piece of SU Red Glitter Paper and that to a whisper white card base.

Lovely Flowers

It’s summertime and we are enjoying lovely flowers from our gardens!  Do you have a favorite summertime flower?  As for me, there are so many lovely flowers that it’s difficult for me to pick just one!

For my card share today, I have a beautiful card that was inspired by a Pinterest Board of dozens of beautiful bowls.

Lovely Flowers_1

The following is a photo of the bowl that inspired me.

Ceramic Bowl Flowers Blue Black White Botanicals Painted Floral Turquoise Housewarming Wedding Gift by sewZinski.:

I didn’t think I would like stamping flowers at the top of my card and leaving the bottom as blue card stock in order to replicate the bowl.  Thus, I reversed the placement of the flowers.

Lovely Flowers3_1

I used both the Catherine Pooler Lovely Flowers stamp set and Stampin’ Up! retired Secret Garden stamp set to make the flowers.  The larger flowers are from the Secret Garden Stamp Set, and the small blue ones are from the Catherine Pooler Lovely Flowers stamp set.  Note that I added some color to the bigger flowers as I wanted to give them some dimension.  I used three Copic Sketch Markers in the gray family, C00, C01, and C03, to create shading on the flowers.  I also traced around the flowers with Copic Sketch Marker B91, which is a blue color.  Then I added the small blue flowers from the Lovely Flowers stamp set

Lovely Flowers2_1

I used an Anna Griffin embossing folder of flowers to emboss the blue card stock and cut it with a die to form the wave that is similar to that on the bowl.

To finish the card, I added the sentiment, You’re Amazingly Amazing, which is from Catherine Pooler’s Lovely Flowers stamp set.

Lastly, I submitted this card to a Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge and it was selected as a Favorite of the Week ending July 24, 2016.

Memory Box Tulip Bouquet

Hello, everyone!!  My card share today is one I submitted to Splitcoaststampers for a Sketch Challenge.  The primary element on the card is the tulips made with the Memory Box Tulip Bouquet Die.

Tulips Anytime_1

The sketch for the challenge is this:

SC602_b

I die cut the tulips in white, So Saffron, and Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and assembled them as shown in this photo.  I added so flicks of color with a copic sketch marker, R21.

Tulips Anytime2

The continuation of the stems were done in Crisp Cantaloupe and White card stock, as shown in this photo.  These overlap the piece of So Saffron card stock that I embossed with an Anne Griffin embossing folder.  I stamped the word, “Thanks”, using a three step stamp from Catherine Pooler’s latest release, Lovely Notes Collection.

ODBD A True Friend

Have you seen the gorgeous Bearded Iris stamp from the ODBD A True Friend stamp set?  It is a large stamp, but it is gorgeous.  The card I’m sharing with you today spotlights a set of Bearded Irises.

ODBD A True Friend

If you like the Bearded Iris, you can get only that stamp here without the sentiments that come with the stamp set.

Yes, indeed this is a large floral stamp – stamped three times on my card!! This card is for Vicki’s (vdutchr) “So Coral Cantaloupe” Color Challenge, CC592, on Splitcoaststampers!  Vicki picked three colors that are beautiful together!  The colors are SU So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Calypso Coral.  I colored the irises with Copic Sketch Markers that closely match the challenge colors.

I think I overdid it, don’t you? The stamp image is large, and I couldn’t stop with one stamped iris, I had to stamp three (using masking, of course)!!!  Go big, or go home!  Isn’t that the cliche? LOL

Dessert (i.e., extra points) for the color challenge is “dimension”.  I used foam tape to pop up the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Herloom Legacy die cut onto the white card base.  I added clear Wink of Stella to the beards of the irises. Hopefully you can see that.

I am also submitting this card to the Our Daily Bread Designs blog for its ODBDSLC276, Anything that Grows with ODBD.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful, blessed day!

ODBD Sunburst Background Die

Hey, Sunshine!!  That’s the name of Carla’s (aka uvgotcarla) “Clean And Simple” Challenge for today on Splitcoaststampers.  Her challenge is to create a card using some kind of sun element in the design. To create my card, I used white card stock to cut out the ODBD Sunburst Background Die. I laid the die over the sunburst cutout and used a fantastic Clarity Stencil Brush to brush on the two inks. (The Clarity Stencil Brushes are remarkable.)

Sunburst Background_1

I cut out a fence using a wood-grain DSP and ODBD Fence Die, green grass using Lawn Fawn’s Grassy Border Die, and green stems and various colors of flowers using the Impression Obsession Bouquet Die.  I assembled and attached them to the bottom of the sunburst.  I created a digital sentiment that was cut out with an ODBD Mini Tags & Labels Die and attached to the card front slightly over the sun.
