From My Heart Enjoy Life

  Finally, I am back posting. I have a couple more things to post besides this card in the next week or so. I envy the people that can post something new everyday. I don't have the time to be able to do that.
   This card was made using the From My Heart stamp set. Everything is current Stampin' Up! products, except for the Bella Bleu designer series paper. I have a bunch of retired paper that needs to be used up. I don't know about you, but I believe, we all need to enjoy everyday that we are given. We never know when it will be our last day. We should not take it for granted. The Lord has given each of us a time table. We just don't know when the end is.

 The colors for this card are bashful blue, crumb cake, and whisper white. I used the Big Shot machine with the apothecary accents framelits, the adorning accents edgelits, and the beautiful wings embosslits. For embellishments I used the pearl basic jewels. The ink color is crumb cake with bashful blue sponged along the edge.
  Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I pray you were inspired and will come back to visit more often. Of course, if you want to leave a comment I would love it.

Patterned Party Birthday 3

  Welcome to my blog. If you are visiting for the first time I hope that you like what you see, as well as, be inspired to create a papercraft project for yourself. If you visit me often, thank you very much for being one of my followers. I do appreciate it. Here is another card I created using the patterned party stamp set. I used cherry cobbler, pumpkin pie, night of navy, and whisper white cardstock. For tools I ended up using the scallop trim border punch, Big Shot machine, bitty banners framelits, perfect polka dots embossing folder, paper piercing tool, along with the essentials paper-piercing pack. The other stamp set I used is called itty bitty banners. All of these products are available in the Stampin' Up! catalog.
  I am still trying to work on making the pictures of the cards look better. They always look better in person then what the camera shows.

  I pray you have a very nice day. As always, if you have a minute please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Fabulous Florets Thinking of You

 I hope everyone is doing well. Everything is going pretty good in my family and my little part of the world. The card you see was made for my manager. She has had to go through quite a few very difficult things in the past few months, of which, it still is not over. One of my coworkers wanted to do something nice for her to try and lift her spirits. We could all use it at times, but she really needed it. My part of this was to make the card. This was the final result.

To make this card I used chocolate chip, rose red, and naturals ivory cardstock. The stamp sets are fabulous florets and the retired set sincere salutations. I used the stampin' sponge, decorative label punch, scallop oval punch, and the retired lace ribbon border punch. I used classic ink, watercolor crayons, and blender pens to color the flowers. As for the bling, I added basic pearl jewels. The only other little thing I added was a small butterfly using my big shot and the beautiful wings embosslit die.
My boss told me she loved the card and even wanted to frame it! I was very happy that she liked it.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Jesus is Risen

Happy Easter, everyone! I thought I would post this card I made for my grandson on here today because it is why we celebrate Easter. It is not about the bunny, that is for sure.
My sister-in-law posted a picture on FaceBook yesterday that looked so much like this card. I wanted to make it look like the bunny was looking at the cross. I still am not sure what I needed to do to make the bunny look better. I tried my best though.

I used bashful blue, natural white, so saffron, basic gray cardstock, and well worn designer series paper. For ink, I used basic gray and pretty in pink. For tools I used my Big Shot, stampin sponge, blossom petals builder punch, 1/2" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, and the beautiful wings embosslits die. The only accessory I used was the white bakers twine.
Once again, Happy Easter! Thanks for checking out my blog.

Beautiful Wings Mother's Day Card

Happy Mother's Day to anyone that is a mother! Being a mother is one of the greatest gifts God has given to us. I know how much I love my children and would not trade them for anything. Then to think that God loves our children even more than we do! Wow!
I have attached a picture of the card I made for my daughter. This is her 2nd year of being a mom. I know she liked butterflies at one time. I am not sure if she still likes them as much as she used to, but I took a chance on it anyhow. This was the final result. I played with the butterflies for a while as to where I wanted them placed on the card. I even played with the bow on the ribbon as to where I wanted it placed at. That is the fun thing about cards. You never know what it will look like until it is finished.

Here is a list of the things I used to create this card. All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Cardstock: blushing bride, pear pizzazz, peach parfait, in color designer series paper pack, and whisper white; Stamp set: retired well scripted; Stampin' write markers: pear pizzazz and blushing bride; Tools: big shot, perfect polka dots embossing folder, beautiful wings embosslits die, xl butterfly punch, 2"x 1 3/8" oval xl punch, and decorative label punch; Embellishments: circle rhinestone brad, basic pearls jewels, and 1/2" stitched poly-ribbon blushing bride.

Once again, Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy your day with your families. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Leave a message if you have a minute.
