Pink and Brown Fifth Avenue Rose

Hi there! I found a wee bit time to stamp this morning, and used my Fifth Avenue Floral set along with my favorite color combination - pink and brown. I CASE'd the card and layout from here although I changed a few things here and there. I love the eyelet die from SU's Background I Texturz Dies so I use it with any chance I get - and today was one! The base cardstock is Chocolate Chip. I ran a Pretty in Pink cardstock thru the Big Shot for my layer cardstock. I used Pink Pirouette for the rose image which was stamped with Chocolate Chip ink. I further added outlined the rose with a red SU watercolor pencil and dabbed some dazzling diamonds on it! The leaves were punched out from SU's 5-petal punch. Pardon my ribbon though - I guess I was in such a hurry that I cut it crookedly, and didn't see it until I took the picture. LOL. I haven't decided which sentiment I will add on it. So I left that one out... for now. As always, thanks for looking!

Perfect Princess

Hi! I've been having a crazy busy month! I've made some cards in the past that I have not posted yet so I thought that now is a good time to bring those up!

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

My Mommy Rocks!

Hello! My card today is a onesie that says "my mommy rocks!" Isn't that cute? My inspiration comes from two sources. I am sure you already have seen those famous onesies the talented Lauren Meader created a while back! You haven't? You can find it here. My other source is Jen del Muro's post today - see that itty-bitty onesie that says "my mommy rocks"? I do not have that stamp - so I thought I'd get creative! I printed those same words using Microsoft Word (font: Monotype Corsiva) and punched it out with SU's large oval punch. Then I cut out my onesie from Real Red cardstock and layered (retired) Real Red DSP for the polka dot pattern. The rest came easy!

Fifth Avenue Floral Mother's Day Card

Hi! Mother's Day is Sunday May 10th. I was thinking of several women friends who asked me to create a Mother's Day card. Well here is one of my creations - inspired by page 82 of Stampin' Up's Idea Book and Catalog Spring Summer 2009 edition... The original idea was sort of a bookmark and the flower image used was from A Rose Is A Rose. Sadly, I do not have that set. But I do have the Fifth Avenue Floral, which came with a rose image! Which happens to be my new favorite lately!

The rose image is stamped on Riding Hood Red designer paper (from the Bella Rose DSP), cut out and then dabbed with SU dazzling diamonds to make it SPARKLE! The leaves have been punched out from Kiwi Kiss cardstock, using SU 5-petal punch, and then adhered underneath the rose. I hope you like it.

Thanks for dropping by!

Mojo Monday 82

Hi! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! My Mojo Monday 82 card is here... using my favorite color combination of pink and brown. The base cardstock is chocolate chip, but the designer paper is an old one I have bought from Joann's a while back. The image is also from one of my favorite SU sets - Pun Fun. Do you notice the pink hearts are sparkling? (It's probably hard to see in the photo.) I dabbed the hearts with some dazzling diamonds. My flower has three layers and come from different sources too. The brown 5 petal flower is Bella Rose DSP. The light pink flower is Prisma, and the bottom flower is Pink Pirouette cardstock punched from the scallop circle punch. The button in the middle is from SU Button Bouquet. That's about it... I'm pretty sure I didn't forget anything! Thanks for dropping by!
