Purple Bloom Just Because

Karen here with a card to share today featuring the Kennedy Grace, Beautiful Blooms Sweet Rose stamp set. I decided on purple for no reason other than I haven't used purple in a while.  I stamped coloured and fussy cut the central bloom, placing it on foam with several die cut circles with leaves behind.  I then used the Kennedy Grace Cutting Edge Creations, Scalloped Rectangle die to cut the bottom of the card, which is a great way to stretch your dies.  I then backed it with some design paper to match and to accentuate the scallop.  The Just Because is also from this stamp set.  Finishing touch is some beautiful moonbeams sequins. Love and Laughter,  

Sympathy Roses

Hello, everyone! Rachel here today with a gorgeous sympathy card using the Splendid Roses stamp set. Sympathy cards are always the hardest for me to make, so I like to make a bunch in advance so I don't have to put one together when I actually need one. I like to keep them simple and try to stay away from bright colors. For this one, I decided to keep my roses white. I started by cutting a card base from some Fog Gray cardstock and then cut a panel with the Stitched Rectangles. I stamped my panel with a Wood Plank background using the Fog Gray ink that matches the base. It's very light and doesn't detract from my main image. I cut another, smaller panel using the same dies and then stamped my image on top of it. I added another partial image to the top to add just a little more greenery to the bouquet. I used my Warm Grays to shade the roses (W00, W01, W03) and some Yellow Greens for the leaves (YG95, YG97, YG99). I added a halo around the images using my Cool Gray

Sunflower's with Erica

Hello, Erica on the blog today with yet another flower-power card. I did kinda warn you I'd go mad with the flower and yep, I did it again. CAS cards are not my forte. Layers, masking, colouring, stamping, embellishments and die cutting, just give it to me baby! Today I used the Beautiful Blooms Sunflower stamp and as usual, I couldn't stick to just one image.   You don't often see single sunflowers so why do a single flower on a card? Maybe I'm using this as an excuse to do more colouring...? I started out by stamping the images on Neenah Exact Index White 110lbs card stock. Three times in fact. I got my copics out and this time I remembered to write down which colours I used. For each flower, I went for slightly different variations of yellow on the petals. Same with the leaves, only greens, I flicked them randomly all over them. It took me nearly four full episodes of Sex and The City to fussy cut all the flowers and leaves out. In fairness,

You Are Amazing

  Hi there it's Monica up on the Kennedy Grace Creations blog today with this bold thank you card to let someone know how amazing they are to you. Let's get right into the card. I stamped the roses from the Splendid Roses stamp set from Kennedy Grace Creations onto some Strathmore Bristol paper in Onyx Black Versafine ink. I used Zig Clean Color markers to bring the roses to life. I used marker numbers 024, 028, 044, 045 and 091. I used some strips of patterned paper from the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie collection as well as some wood grain cardstock that I added foam tape to for dimension. The thanks sentiment was cut using a die from Lil' Inker Designs and the "You Are Amazing" sentiment is from the Just a Rose stamp set from Kennedy Grace Creations. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope to see you soon. 

Planner Shaker clips

Hello!  Cindy from In Love with PAPER back on the blog with you today.  I've been having fun setting up my planner lately :-)  I have created some cute little planner shaker clips.  I used my Cricut to cut the shapes and frames.  I cut the circle/heart at 1 1/4" and then using the centerpoint feature cut once at 1" and then at 1 1/4" to create the frames.  I cut about 8 of the frames from white cs and then glued all the layers together.  That way the sequins could shake freely around.  Recipe: scraps of paper Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cart - circle @ 1 1/4", 1 - heart @ 1 1/4", 1 transparency sheet Kennedy Grace Creations - Beautiful Blooms - sweet rose stamp set (smile sentiment) Kennedy Grace Creations - Tinkerbelle's Sparkle sequin mix Kennedy Grace Creations - Pink Champagne seqin mix Inkadinkado - Good News stamp set ( cross stamp) Glossy Accents Thanks for stopping by today.

Scrappy Notes

Hi there.  Its Karen on the blog today and I have some little note cards to share. I don't know about you but I actually don't like scraps and find it hard to keep little bits. I think its the Virgo coming out in me and scraps are just not tidy.  That said as I was cleaning my little box where I pop bits and pieces, unfinished cards and things I haven't used because I either A. Change my mind B. Don't like it at the time or C.  Have no idea where I was going with it or D. Stuffed up the stamping.  Whilst doing this I discovered some Kennedy Grace flowers stamped and not coloured and some little pieces of gingham paper along with a couple of die cuts that were cut to test out the Scalloped Rectangle die. I lay these out on my desk and made some little note cards to write a message on rather than using a sticky note.  The Scalloped Rectangles I folded in half to form a lovely edge for the card base. The gingham I cut to fit just inside the stitching line and coloured

Thinking of You

Hello! Rachel here today with a card featuring the Time to Blossom stamp set! I decided to create some of my own pattern paper today by repeatedly stamping my image over my white panel in light brown ink. I didn't bother to color it in so it wouldn't be too distracting from my main image. Both my panels were cut with the brand new Stacked Stitched Rectangle dies and they are fabulous! My smaller panel had the image stamped in black ink and then I colored it with Copics. I stamped my sentiment in Versamark ink over the top of the image and then heat embossed it ink gold to make it shine in real life. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but easier to read when you're holding it in your hand. I adhered my first panel flat to my card base and then used some foam tape to pop my smaller panel up for some dimension.

Erica on the blog today!

Hi there! I'm back with another card using the Splendid Roses stamp set. Yep, just one card today but it's a big one. Well, not size wise actually. Time consuming more like it but the result were worth every second spent on it and I hope you agree. I had an idea to make a tear drop bouquet (the florist in me is at work again.. ) and I knew it would involve some masking. I didn't realise exactly how much masking it would take to get the look I wanted until I was cutting up my forth mask! And the fourth one wasn't even my last one. Oh boy, right?? The consolation is that the masks will last for more projects and that will save time next time. To make sure I don't loose them, I tend to store them in the pocket that holds the stamp set they belong to. To go back to the beginning, I started out with a stitched rectangle piece of Neenah paper as I wanted to do some copic colouring today. I always use Lawn Fawn dies for A2 sized cards as the stitche

Grateful

 Hey everyone it's me Jessica.. I wanted to share this card I made. I started with a watercolor panel and used two stamp sets from Kennedy Grace Creations Beautiful Blooms - Sweet Rose and Just a Rose. I prepped the panel with some antistatic powder and stamped the Just a Rose image and heated embossed it. I made a mask for the image and then arranged and stamped the Beautiful Blooms - Sweet Rose over the top of the other image and heat embossed the image. I watercolored the image with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I then used the sentiment Grateful from You Inspire Me stamp set and heat embossed on a heat resistant acetate. Made a frame from another piece of watercolor paper and adhered it all together. Thanks for stopping by and leave me some love....
