Sweet Valentine

Hello, Bunny here again today on this first of February!

I am hooked on the Fresh Florals Series!  (also they are on a great special so check out at the bottom of the post!)

Today I have a soft and sweet Valentine for you. 

For the card base, I used the Basic Rectangle Backdrop and layered the Brick A2 Cover Plate on top of that I also cut a pink cover plate so I can have the pieces to inlay to make it look like a ribbon. Plus added the Mini 3D Bow. It's such a cool effect that makes it look like a ribbon is woven through the card front.  How sweet is that? I love that look, perfect for a baby card as well!

Then I used the same pink cardstock to match the "ribbon band" and embossed the image using Brutus Monroe's Pearly Rainbow Embossing Powder and the Fresh Floral Bouquet Stamp Set. It's just gorgeous on the soft pink cardstock, photos do not do it justice. 

Then using the Stitch Dot Heart Backdrop Die Set, I cut the heart out of the embossed floral bouquet image. 

Then using the scrap part that was left over, I used the "love" word die from the Slimline Hearts Windows & Words Cover Plate,  cut it out of the embossed part and then another one out of the plain card stock so I could layer them together, you can see that in this photo as it pops it up a little bit. 

Glued it on the heart and then heart on the brick and you have created a sweet valentine! 

Here is the special Jillian is having on the Fresh Florals Series. It is a GREAT Deal!

Shimmery Lovely Lantern

Hello!

Today I wanted to share a card using the Lovely Lantern. I love this new Holiday die Jillian came out with, but not just for holidays, she created a spring card using it too, you can find it HERE!

There are so many options of finishes for it. 

Just plain cardstock, shimmer spray, embossing powder, glitter glaze, stencil butter and glitter just to name a few!

For this card, I used the Basic Rectangle as a base, then used Tim Holtz Shimmer Spray in Tarnished Brass and the Brick Cover Plate as a stencil. 

Then using some of Dyan's Shimmer Sprays, sprayed the Lantern in Black Marble, Holly in Cut Grass and light bulb from the Christmas Light Shaker Die Set using Tim Holtz Antiqued Bronze. All giving such a different look!

Yes, the lantern works great with the Christmas Light Shaker Die Set too!

Added the Holly and Swirls, and using Christmas Red Stickles, I accented the berries.

Tied a seam binding bow and then pinned on Christmas Tiny Tags with a Pear Pin. 

This stamp set revived, out of the vault, from customer requests, now comes with dies as well as Pear Pins.

Lovely Lantern Shines!

Hello, Bunny here with a little Christmas in July post!

I am loving this Lovely Lantern die! It is so much fun to "finish" and decorate. For this card I used Dylusions Shimmer Spray in Black Marble for the Lovely Lantern, PostBox Red Shimmer Spray for the Poinsettia and Tim Holtz  Antique Bronze Mica Spray for the brick which you can really see in this photo. I used the Brick A2 Cover Plate as a stencil, then cut using the largest Stitch Dot Rectangle die.

The mat layer is the largest die from the Basic Rectangle Die Set.

 I took the card out in the sun so you can see the gorgeous shimmer on the brick design as well as the Lovely Lantern and Poinsettia.

A touch of Fresh Cut Pine behind the Poinsettia adds a finishing touch.

I used So Many Stitched Sentiment Strips and New Nest Stamp Set for the Merry Christmas sentiment!

The Poinsettia just shines with the Dylusions Post Box Red Shimmer spray. I also used the Petal Pusher Stylus and curled the petals rather than shape them normally. Just use it as you were curling ribbon!

An elegant card that was pretty simple to create!

Thank you for joining me today!

Have a great weekend!

Hello, Bunny here today with a Springy Coffee Card!

I love the options A Jillian Vance Design has in her Coffee Collection.

Today I am using the Cozy Cup along with SEVERAL die sets that all have pieces and parts that were perfect for this card. I used a black shadow of the Cozy Cup so it would stand out more against the white Brick A2 Cover Plate. Then bursts of the red tulips from the Easter Basket Add On Die Set and of course that darling Daisy Die Set is always a fun one to use. Added a leaf from Leaves and Petals plus the Swirly vines from Spring Birdie Die Set.

The So Many Stitched Sentiments are perfect for the two sentiments as you can customize the length!

I used PhotoPlay printed paper for the cup!

Floral Butterfly

So if you saw my #cardsforUkraine Butterfly card HERE

this is a different version!

I wanted to color it with colored pencils, using the Tombow Color Pencil set we had for our coloring books when she had the store open.

We have since purchased Prisma Color Pencils and Gamsol and that is life changing! They blend so much better! See our post HERE for the video of Jillian explaining it, and also a link to the Gina K video where we learned how to do this technique!

Featuring the all new Fresh Florals: Cascade Stamp Set (coordinating dies coming the end of March, pre-order today!) as half of the Beautiful Butterfly!

I wanted to try that when Jillian designed it and couldn't WAIT to get the stamps.

We have been playing with the Fresh Floral Stamps for a couple of weeks now!

So many options! I have also watercolored them with Distress Inks, also shown in our Tuesday Night Live video from March 8th.

I stamped the image using Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black then colored and Sentiment is from the Bold Butterfly Stamp Set stamped in Ranger Archival Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry.

Sentiment strip is from So Many Stitched Sentiments Die Set

I am loving her New Brick A2 Cover Plate Die, which arrived last week, layered on top of the Basic Rectangle Backdrop Die Set.

Perfect for backgrounds without being overpowering.

Thanks for stopping by!

They were delivered at the show last weekend by our manufacturer who is also a vendor at the shows. 

So we got home Saturday and Sunday I created this card!

I stamped the image using WOW Embossing Ink and used WOW Rich Gold Super Fine Embossing Powder.

I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.
