Found another sunflower stamp

Good morning all. Look what I found in my bin of stamps. It is yet another sunflower stamp that I totally forgot I had. This was from Taylored Expressions and I am sure is retired by now. Just what I needed was another fall card using sunflowers.  :-)  Unless I find another sunflower this is the last of them... or so I think. HA!  Anyways... 

The scraps of paper on the desk were my color inspiration for this card today. All those leaves are so pretty and with turquoise I thought perfect! My sunflowers are colored with various Copic markers then a simple chocolate layer behind the image panel. The strips of designer paper down the side with my sentiment layered onto a few punched shapes. Enamel dots and sparkles to finish it off. Voila! 

Hope you have a wonderful day! 

Birthday Sunflowers

Good morning! A little sunflower to brighten your day.  This stamp is called Sunflower Bouquet that I stamped on white cardstock. The sunflowers are softer coloring than I would normally do as I wanted a more springy feel to them. 

Just a few simple die cuts using Lil Inkers Stitched rectangles for the designer paper and the image panel. Added my sentiment to the edge and top it off with yes... more sequins and stickles.  :-)  Birthday cards are starting to pile up now. Yea! Hope you have a fabulous day! 

May button blessings

It is long after the time I said I would get this created and posted but here it is finally. The Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge this month is Button Up . Hope you can play along if you are a Fan Club Member.

I had one of my brother in laws in mind when I created the card and thought a tag would be perfect also. He is huge into hunting and will appreciate a wintry theme with this Birch Tree Cutting plate and the animals. I added buttons and some rhinestones to both. Pretty simple as there is no coloring and that was perfect for today.  ;-)  Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful day! 

Birthday Rock

Loving this extra long weekend and I know the kids are. Not like school is out in another week or anything though, right?  :-)   Got a lot of stamping time in on Saturday, yea!!!  Worked on some new release stuff for Power Poppy! Oh you are going to swoon!!!  Sneak Peeks start on June 3rd, so make sure to check back in for those. 

I bought this fun rocker like set from Taylored Expressions when it came out and haven't played with it much. Created a few fun birthday cards with You're My Hero and matching die set. My large star die is from a Whiff of Joy Die-lights nested stars. A few enamel dots on the splatter and voila! I really like how these turned out. Thanks for stopping in today.

You Rock Monday

Happy Monday! Today I have a rather clean and simple card for you using You're My Hero from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the splatter image using a grey ink onto the white card stock. Part of the guitar was stamped and colored with Copic markers on the front. I die cut using the matching Rock On Die.

Then I put the die cut with the guitar colored onto the inside of the card so when you open you have the guitar. I actually gave this to my son who plays the electric guitar. He thought it was pretty cool.  :-)

Easy peasy today! Only a few days left for my Blog Candy. Check it out! I hope you have a wonderful day!

I am room mom to one of the twins class rooms every year. I like to create something special for each of the kids on their birthday and this Cute Hoot stamp set was perfect for the little treat bags I am doing this year. I ordered the darling little Sack It To You for this years treat bags. How fun is it that the Cute Hoot is a perfect accent to this bag? The matching die Curly Cute Hoot to this stamp set is awesome to boot. I am so excited about this set. This little swirly cue is a great addition to the sentiment tags. Voila!
