SUNSHINE AND ROSES

January 17, 2020

Anniversary/Wedding, Birthday, Get Well, Techniques, Valentine Projects

It may be very cold up here in northeastern BC, but when the sun shines, it lights up the mood! So, it also inspired me to pull out the To A Wild Rose Bundle and get creating.

I decided to play around with our Pigment Sprinkles and love the way the different colours add highlights to those pretty roses. It just seemed appropriate to give them a white edge, so out came the Versamark and White Emboss Powder. TIP: I used the Heat Tool to dry the paper after the sprinkles making it much easier to add the heat embossing!

The new Freshly Made Sketches layout came into play here with a piece of the Peaceful Poppies DSP and a small side plate to cut the rounded edge.

Here’s the list of products used.

Hi and welcome! Today, I’m showing you another Valentine card that I created to send to our Canadian Veterans. I love the Special Someone stamp set(151643), the critters are just so darn cute!

Aww, how cute is that raccoon with his balloon! This is a 2-Step stamp set, so creating these cuties is really easy. I stamped the detail image first with Soft Suede ink and then added the other image using Crumb Cake ink.

Yes, the string and balloon were “fussy-cut” so I could add them over top of the image. That beautiful background is a piece from the From My Heart Specialty designer paper(151189).

Here’s the list of products used. Make sure to check them out by clicking on the image.

Special Someone Photopolymer Stamp Set [151643] $22.00	Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [102482] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper [151189] $20.00

Hello and welcome to you! I just can’t stop using the Forever Blossoms bundle – it’s so very beautiful especially with the matching designer paper!

Just look at those beautiful flowers on that piece of designer paper! So I pulled the Pool Party from the background and stamped several blooms with the Pool Party ink and added the leaves stamped with the Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink(it’s retiring as of tomorrow). The dies that match the Forever Blossoms stamp set make it so easy to cut out those pretty blooms.

Along the left edge, in the background it a piece of braided border made using the new Braided Border Punch that’s in the 2020 Occasions Mini Catalogue. Make sure to check it out on page 29!

Here’s the list of products used.

FOR MY VALENTINES

There’s nothing like giving the gift of chocolate to one’s valentines and adding a fancy gift tag to that delicious gift!

These little beauties were created with the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and the beautiful All My Love designer series paper. And, I just couldn’t resist adding that touch of shimmer with a Lovely Lipstick Foil heart!

TIP: When using the Tag Topper Scalloped Punch, cut the cardstock to 2-15/16 wide – it will fit into the punch a little easier.

The Paper Players “Love is in the Air” theme made it easy to create these tags.

TIP 2: The Thinlit Die I used has a tiny heart at the bottom of the die, so I used the Take Your Pick tool to add it to that pretty label. When using this die, make a note of that tiny heart so you can use it on your own project.

Here’s the list of products used.

Itty Bitty Greetings Clear-Mount Stamp Set [146667] $49.00	Itty Bitty Greetings Wood-Mount Stamp Set [146664] $65.00	Lovely Lipstick 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146970] $11.50	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25

MANY LOVELY ROSES WISHING FOR SPRING

Me and these many lovely roses are very fervently wishing for spring! One of the best things about having a stamping business is that you can create your own season any time you want! All it takes is some cardstock, ink and a great stamp set like the Climbing Roses Cling Bundle.

I used the Petal Pink and Shaded Spruce combo Stampin’ Blends to colour those little beauties and cut them out with the matching thinlit die. Don’t they look so pretty sitting on that trellis and label? I used a combination of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots to arrange them.

This would make a great Valentine’s card but my thoughts when making it were for an anniversary or wedding! It’s perfect for either one!

Here’s the list of products used.

Climbing Roses Cling Bundle [150603] $60.25	Lovely Lipstick 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146970] $11.50	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25	All My Love 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576] $15.00

There’s nothing like a great card for a best friend and today’s card fits into that sentiment very nicely!

I’ve been busy creating valentines and think that this is the one that will go to my husband! The Meant to Be Cling Bundle(page 6 2019 Occasions Catalogue) is such a great set to use and looks fabulous when paired up with the All My Love Designer Series paper!

The line-up of hearts along the edge comes from the inspiring sketch that Freshly Made Sketches posted.

I had fun with this one and used some great products to complete it.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!
