Is it too early for Easter??

Happy Feb. 6th. Today I want to share a card featuring 3 new stamps from DRS Designs - Easter Blessings (1029D), Spring Crocus (1066H) and Impossible Faith Greeting (1025G).

I just love early spring flowers and was so excited to see this cute crocus stamp from DRS Designs! I stamped the image in Memento black on white CS, then colored it with my copics. Nesties were used to cut out the image and layer it on purple CS. I stamped the Impossible Faith greeting in the same ink, cut it out, rounded a couple of the corners and layered it on purple CS too. Easter Blessings was stamped on the pink card in black Memento. Some half pearls were added to finish off the look.

Seeing this image of early spring flowers just makes me smile! Hope you like it!

Until next time,

Daffodil Butterfly Circle

Hello everyone, today I have a to new release stamp to share

Daffodil Butterfly Circle 1073L

I just love this stamp it can be used in so many ways. Today I made a

Birthday Card.

After stamping the image in black ink, I used my copic markers to color.

It was cut out with a circle spellbinder die and layered on to a black

circle cut with a Lacey circle Spellbinder die.

The background was created with the Woven Plaid background stamp.

I only inked up the medium strip and stamped it several times, I sponged the

edges with antique linen Distress Ink. This was layered onto a black card.

I stamped the Polka Dots 688p with black ink and sponged the edges with the

antique linen, that was layered onto black card, and attached at the bottom

of the card. Happy birthday 250B was stamped with black ink. I trimmed it

with my paper trimmer, and sponged the edges with the antique linen added

A piece of black card and attached it to the Polka Dot strip. A black lace

Bow was added.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Sealed with a Prayer

Yeah!!!! DRS Designs' new releases are out today....go check them out here.

A fairly simple card but I love the way it came out. I used the embossing folder on the metallic white layer and the marina mist layer. Before embossing the white layer, I randomly stamped the awesome cross. I cut one cross out and placed on top of the marina mist ribbon. The sentiment...Sealed with a Prayer is new as well and I stamped it in marina mist and then used a large oval punch to cut it out.

We are pretty buried in snow.....as of right now, we have almost 2 feet and it is still snowing. Unfortunately, I am a bachlorette this weekend. My husband is golfing in Mesquite...and watching the Super Bowl....off to do more shoveling.

Take care,

Pam

My Motto

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

Yep, that note says it all! That's my motto...all the way. I even have a note pad on my fridge that says "The only reason I have a kitchen is because it came with the house." Don't get me wrong. I can cook; I just don't want to. I don't even like to think about what's for dinner. So if my husband doesn't give 2 weeks notice that he's tired of a dish, the rule is, officially he still likes it. :) And to paraphrase Erma Bombeck "My second favorite household chore is cleaning (she said ironing, but I don't do that, either). My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint." I miss her witty words. She was one of a kind.

These terrific new DRS images will be released tomorrow! Yay! I love 'em! I crack up every time I read this greeting. Even my husband laughed. He knows me so well. So I stamped my new favorite lady and colored her w/ markers. I had this black oval frame left over from something and liked it so I cut around her elbow in order to let it be out of the box a little. The 50's retro sparkles were stamped in pink and black on the bg. I added a double punched border and a line of similar sparkle ribbon. I thought the punched houses and fence made her look like she's breaking out of the burbs, lol. You go, girl!!

The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25. Thanks so much for stopping by! Forget the cleaning and go have fun this weekend!






Supplies:
stamps: All NEW DRS images! Available tomorrow!
paper: white, black, narrow strip of pink textured

I created this card using the Acetate Sparkle technique and the Shamrock Circle, which I just LOVE!! I saw this image and thought it would be FUN to create some sparkle!

I stamped the image using Staz On Ink and allowed it to dry. I flipped the acetate over and added some Glassy Glaze on the image portion and sprinkled glitter on the Glassy Glaze and allowed it to dry for several hours. I then cut out the image using a craft knife. I flipped it over and used Glue Dots to adhere to the circle. I used the Emerald Bazzill Bling and the Heart Circles Spellbinders and mounted the white circle with Dimensionals to pop it up.


I ran the white card stock through the Big Shot and used the Snowflakes embossing folder. I layered it on black card stock and wrapped this white satin Shamrock Ribbon around and tied the bow. I stamped the Get Your Irish On sentiment on white cardstock and cut out my own little banner. I added black brads to three of the corners and a Wasabi layer as my Card base to finish it off.


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thank you for stopping by! Please come on by tomorrow to join us with this coming weeks challenge!

Irish Claddah

Good Tuesday Morning to you!

I can hardly believe we are about to enter the second month of the year.  That's fine by me.  Each day is one day closer to spring.  Which means it's one day closer to summer!  I do like that there are holidays to look forward to; celebrations always make living fun :)

I've shown off many valentine's here on the blog, so in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm showing off this green and gold card I made today.  I had a piece of gold glitter paper left over from some 50th anniversary projects, and I thought it would be a good fit for this card.  I used some gold embossing powder on the beautiful Claddah stamp and the Swirly Shamrocks were used for the background.

Here is a closer look on a photo with a little less glare :)

I love how rich the gold embossing looks! I added some satin ribbon and a few metal stickers for embellishments to finish off the card. 

Thanks for dropping by and I hope your day is off to a great start!

Karin
