Friends of Flourish #2

Good Morning, today our Friends of Flourish Challenge is to make a Christmas Card.

 I have used a image from the Glory To God Set.
After coloring and adding some Stickles  for Shimmer I cut the
image out. The embossed cross stiches were added and a strip of
dp down the center. The image and sentiment were added. It is s simple
card but has the true meaning of Christmas.
I know its the day before Christmas but pop over and show us one of the
cards you have made for this year!

Flourishe's Stamps in Review

Today we are doing a Review of Stamps at Flourishes.  I am featuring a image from the set called Endearing Rose.

I couldnt wait to use this pretty new image with the birds !Using pencils and Copics 

I  colored the image. I die cut it twice but just didnt like it so I finally decided to just cut it out.

 After cutting it out I have attached it to the print half oval
 even though the print doesnt show in the pic. The sentiment was embossed
 on the Vellum and a gold glitter added to each edge.

Some hand dyed ribbon and done.After took the pic I
can see the sentiment should have been
over to the left more but I glued it down along the glitter lines
 and no more paper that color so just have to go with it!

Be sure to visit the other DT members for more inspiration.

it so this background is dry embossed with a snow folder. The doily is a Spellbinder.

Team B~~~

Happy Tuesday to you all! Here at Tuesday Throwdown we are being sponsored 

by Craft Classes Online.

I used and old Waltzing Mouse image for my focal point.

Pretty simple card.

For my USA friends be sure to exercise your right to vote today!!

Happy Saturday!!!

Good Morning Ladies!  

Marks Finest Papers has decided to close its doors so more challenges.

 Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner Im making a few cards.

Today Im using a pumpkin from the  Autumn Splendor Set.

. Dont you love the pumpkin image, it a great one to color. I colored up 

 3 in fact but only ended up using one for this card. The scrap paper is not exactly

 fall but the peachy tones and swirls seem to go with my little pumpkin just fine

. I added the tab and embossed it. Using the sentiment from

 the I Am Thankful Set. The orange border is the negative left over from a

 star die that I had cut out. A few sequins and its a wrap!

Challenge #44

Good Morning Friends, we have a new MFP Stamp Challenge. 

 Anything Goes... how easy it that!

Anything you make will qualify for an entry, so come on and join the fun this week.

I started with coloring my flowers from the Asian Delights Set. 

The purple SU paper is embossed with a Dotted Swiss folder and cut

 with a Stampin Up scalloped die The dp is old and I dont know who made it.

 Using some inks I colored up some paper and cut the sentiment background 

with a Spellbinder die as well as the background for the flowers.

 Some twine and a button finish it off.

As I see some of you posting pics of your fall trees clothed in beautiful colors 

 Im a wee bit jealous lol! But here in the southwest its nice

in a different  way. With cooler temps and the little rain on Sunday everything 

is beautifully green and flowers blooming like crazy. The weather 

is supposed to cool down into the 80s next  week but even in the

 90s the nights are cooling and its a delightful time to be outside 

We have most of our fall garden planted

 and hope to finish it tomorrow.

Conie Fong Art

is our Sponsor this week at Tuesday Throwdown and the

 challenge is pretty simple...   add a Border!

I am using the Feeling Fabulous image from Connie Fong. 

I love that her images have the sweetest faces, isn't this one adorable. 

After coloring her up I cut her out with a Spellbinder die. Some corner borders.

I also used Stampin Up dies for the for borders across the card.

 Foam dotted her on and added the sentiment cut with a old Cuttlebug die.

 My teammates did a super job on this challenge!

 Check out their cards. Hope you will join us.

You know I just have to share a little something.
A few days ago my hubby calls me at work to say
I had received a large package!
When I get home from work I open a package stuffed full of wonderful stamps!
 A gift from Stacy Morgan, how amazing is that!

 

 Since I have started blogging I have met so many wonderful ladies and been
blessed by many as well. When I started out I didnt know how to
do links. Mona called me and walked me thru it. I have
 received papers and other goodies from
Mary and Leanne and there have been others as well. My
sweet friend Martha keeps me in crafting supplies!
Many thoughtful and sweet inquires and encouragements over time.
I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all!
You all enrich my life for knowing you!

MFP STAMPS

Good Morning Friends!

 Saturday means a new Challenge at MFP Stamps. 

We have a color challenge today.

We would love to have you play along with us this week, 

just make sure to include all three colors on your card or project.

Another simple card is in order. Ive been battling a horrible sore throat

and sinuses. Seems to have made my vertigo a little worse the past few

days too. So all that to say this didnt take too much time. I used the

embossed strip for the side because of the swirls

 reminding me of blowing leaves.

 The oval was cut with a  Little Inkers Die.

I love these leaves and sentiment  from the Autumn Splendor Set.

Colored and cut out two of the images then cut them up and

stuck on. The twine wrapped and tied. There you go easy peasy!

MFP Stamp Store has a 15% off Sale right now

 Do go check it out. Im sure you will find

 something  you cant live without!!

Challenge #43

Today at MFP Stamp Challenge we have a group of inspiration pics for you. 

I love the green white and black But I did that the last inspiration

so I chose the sunflower this time.

The Image and sentiment are both from the Bring On The Sun Set.

After coloring my image and

glittering the bees wings I mounted it on brown.

After the scrap piece was cut into a fishtail it was attached

 with a raffia tied button.

The base was randomly stamped with the Cracked Hello.

My week has be extremely hectic so quick and easy

was the order for this one!

Hope you stop over and join us this week!
