Sunflower Card

This sunflower was made with our new abundant beauty decorative masks in our holiday mini catalog.  There are a total of 7 masks included and 4 of them are for the sunflower.  There is leaves, snowflake and hound's tooth masks.  I am going to have to leaves mask to design something for fall and the snowflakes for a Christmas project.  I used our sponging brushes to add the color the the card.  To give the sunflower the lighter color of the petal tips, I only applied the pumpkin pie ink to the inside part of the sunflower.  It really give the petals a realistic look.

Week 2 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

This weeks post is a Christmas Ornament.  I like to add a new ornament to my Christmas tree each year.  I like it when I can make a ornament or buy a special one for that year.  Do you buy or make an ornament for your Christmas tree each year?

I purchased these natural wood slice from Amazon for this project.  The I used our O Holy Night designer series paper for the background and our dies for the naivety.  This was pretty easy to create.

Week 1 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

Sorry I have not been posting regularly.  I have so many projects to share with you.  I have been stamping and creating projects, just not getting them posted.  So making some changes to my routine so I will be posting daily to share some of my projects.

I am starting my 12 Weeks of Christmas posts today for this year.  I will be posting a Christmas project for you each week on Monday through December 11, 2023.  All the posts will be a Christmas project (framed piece this week), ornaments, Christmas cards, gift card holders and gift tags.

Today I am sharing a framed JOY in a 4"x6" frame.  I used our large letter framelits (discontinued) because they are wider then the classic letter dies we have.  I did use some of our discontinued product because I made this project for a craft fair at our church.  I stamped the wreath in the center of the white cardstock and the I put the J and Y on with dimensionals. so they are raised.  

Here is the list of supplies used for this project:

Daffodil Easter Blessings Card

Now that our retiring list is posted, I wanted to show you some fun samples of some cards that I have created using of the retiring product.  So for today's post is the Easter card that I created for this Easter season.  I just used the stamp set and not the dies for this set.  It is a beautiful daffodil single flower (the one I used) and has another stamp stamp with 3 daffodils on it.  So if you love daffodil, set this stamp set before it is retired.  I did color in the daffodil and leaves with our blends.

Ice Cream Sunde Card

 One of my favorite desserts growing up was a hot fudge sundae.  So when I saw the sundae in the Share a Milk Shake bundle, I had to create a hot fudge sundae.  This is a fun and easy card to create.  I have enjoyed creating some fun cards with this bundle.  Using the color sweet sorbet so on this card makes it look so bright.  I also used the silver foil to die cut the spoon.  I add wink of stella on the hot fudge to add a littler glitter it.
