For You

Hello, It’s the first of June and you know what that means, it’s time for the next Hues of Colors at Color Hues. Can you believe we are at the halfway mark of the year already? I certainly can’t! I just don’t know where the time goes! Jules Peddicord is our sweet hostess and she has chosen a wonderful pairing of colors! The team and our guest, Ineke did a wonderful job with these Hues! You have to go by and check out all their wonderful cards. I know you will be inspired!

Card Details: The Morning Glory flower dies are from Simon Says Stamps, the frame was made with a Pink Fresh Studio die called Dazzling Diamonds. The For You is from Spellbinders in the Thanks Enclosed set. The mirrored bow is from SU and retired. I blended a mix of Abandoned Coral and Candied Apple Red Oxide inks to get the tone of red I was looking for. The Aqua background is actually DSP and a few mirrored dots to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a very creative day! Nanc’

Hello

Hello, Happy Saturday! It is my turn to be hostess this week at Just Us Girls and I have put together a fun little Spring Moodboard for my teammates and hopefully you as well.

Today’s card is a CASE of a fabulous card I saw on Pinterest and fell in love with. You can find it here! This card was very hard to part with as I loved it so much but it went to a very dear friend who is so encouraging to me and others, always!

Card Details: The trellis background was cut down from a Lattice-coverplate from Whimsy Stamps. I used a plaid Miss Ink Stencil to make my rain boots. The rest of the garden plants, pots, and tools are from Sizzix and called Garden Shed. I don’t know if it’s made anymore but it is a fabulous die set. I used Oxide inks and paper to make my pots the perfect pink and also used a green Copic to make my leaves more realistic. I can’t remember where the hello came from.

Now, head on over to Just Us Girls and check out my fabulous teammate’s cards along with our guest Joanne and then I hope to see you in our gallery! Nanc’

You Make Me Smile

Hello, I am back today as promised with another card using some of the newest products from Spellbinders, from the Floral Paper Suite Collection. I once again paired these items with other wonderful Spellbinder products, most importantly my absolute favorite Elliptical Oval Dies and others and they are all listed for you below. Once again these Sticker Butterflies take center stage among that beautiful designer paper. There is not too much to explain about how this card came together as again it was rather quick. I think the stacked ovals are a nice design layout and one I will be repeating again very soon.

You are amazing…

Hello, I am so happy to be back today with one of the newest releases from Spellbinders! This time I had the pleasure of working with the Floral Papers Suite Collection. You will see in today’s card I am working with many of the products in that collection which are linked for you below along with a couple other essential Spellbinders die-cuts.

I had an absolute ball putting this card together because the products pair seamlessly with one another. What I love best is how fast you can put a card together when all the matching of colors and patterned papers is basically done for you. It has been a very long time since I used stickers on a card but these butterfly stickers are absolutely beautiful and the amount and variety of premade sentiments you get in the sentiments pack is amazing.

The other products I used that are not in this collection but are from Spellbinders are; Fluted Circles, Classic Scallops, and the leaf die from the Enchanted Garden collection. I have everything linked for you below! If you are a regular here on my blog you know that I have a habit of making my bling out of paper and that is what I have done on this card. I just use any of the various dies in my collection that are either holly dies, or centers of flowers and they work great for mailing purposes as it keeps the card flat. In this instance, I used gold glitter paper which matched the background paper perfectly.

Sweet

Hello, I am back today with the next challenge at Just Us Girls. Elizabeth is our hostess for Photo/Moodboard Week. She has picked a wonderful array of photos that are sure to inspire. They certainly inspired me. I was immediately drawn to the lemons in the photo and knew I had just the paper and supplies to pull it all together.

Card Details: I made my own ice cubes out of Vellum, Nuvo drops, and a bit of glitter. The large Stamp set is from MFT the word Sweet is from Jilly Bean Soup, I do belive. I heat-embossed the lemons in white on yellow paper. The glass and lemon dies are from Tim Holtz/Sizzix. I used a Hero Arts Postage Die. The lemon paper in the background is packaging left over from some Lemony cocktails I purchased eons ago. I saved it for just this very reason. I have some dimensionals for depth.

Now head on over to Just Us Girls and check out how the team and our guest-Michele were inspired and then we hope you will play along! Nanc’

Hello Friend

Hello, It’s Saturday and you know what that means! It’s time for the next challenge at Just Us Girls! It happens to be Color Week and Ina is our hostess. I love the trio of colors she has for us; Turquoise, Mustard, and Black. Great selection, Ina!

Card Details: Today’s card came together very quickly. First, I made a stencil using Spellbinder’s Deckled Edge rectangles. Then I blended my background in Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers. The butterflies are from Birch Press Designs. The pre-made foiled greeting is from Pink Fresh Studio. A small gold heart and some black Nuvo drops to finish it off, (that I regret using now.)

Now, pop on over to Just Us Girls and check out the DT’s cards along with our new fabulous guest-Michele Ferguson! Welcome, Michele! So happy you are with us this month!

Happy crafting, Nanc’

You Brighten My Day

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am back today with another card in a different colored background using the Scroll Label Hot Foil Plate. I think pink and silver is one of my all-time favorite color combos, throw in some lilac and white and you have a winning combination, in my opinion. I combined the intricate plate with the Four Petal Bloom Reflection which is also very pretty and easy to put together. I have also used Spellbinders-Mini Everday Sentiments for my greeting. I have everything linked up for you in multiple places if you care to take a look.

Taking photos continues to be a struggle for me some days, throw in foil, and boy oh boy it’s nearly impossible. This card is really quite nice in real life.

Let’s Get Together…

Hello friends, I am back today for the next challenge over at Just Us Girls. Starting this year we tweaked our Photo Week challenge to include a Moodboard. So the host of the challenge can stick with the usual single photo that we have done for years or do a Moodboard, which is what Carol Mc has for us today. I love this change to our line-up and hope you do too. Since I think about coffee morning, noon, and night, it’s no surprise that is where my eyes gravitated to.

Card Details: The background is a wonderful piece of DSP from SU. The stamp set and dies are from the Greetery and are called Cozy Cup and I am shocked that they are still available.

I hope you will head on over to Just Us Girls and check out all the cards from our Team and Guest! Take care, Nanc’

Handmade for You

Hello friends, I am back today with my 3rd card using this fun new set from Simon Hurley and Spellbinders. This time I decided to use just the rose stamp in the set and try my hand at watercolor- the cheaters’ way. What is the cheaters’ way…you might ask? In my opinion, it’s when you heat emboss the image so that it makes it easier to color inside the lines. It’s the only way you will see me doing it, that is for certain! I must say that I totally enjoyed the process. I know it has flaws and some of the shading is probably in the wrong place because of the light source…blah blah blah…but to me, worrying about all of that takes the joy away. I just wanted to relax and enjoy the process and that is what I did.

After I was done with the water coloring, I couldn’t decide on what I wanted to do for the background. Hubby suggested I used the foil plate-Sealed Geometric Flowers, he really thinks it’s awesome, and so do I. Now that it’s on the background, do you think it’s too busy? I am on the fence. The foiled Handmade For You greeting is from Spellbinders as well. I have links for you below. I decided to take this photo outside in the sun in front of my Florida Flame Vine and see if I could capture the foil a bit better.

I hope you have a terrific week, and some time in the mix of all things to do with Life, you find some time to be creative!

Hello

I hope you are doing well! It’s Saturday and time for Word Week at Just Us Girls. Bobby is our wonderful hostess and she chose the word Fence. I didn’t have a Fence die in my collection…Gasp…I know, right? I may have to fix that! I decided to make one myself and it was simple enough. Don’t look to closely at the top of my posts as they aren’t all quite uniform.

Card Details: The fence was made myself, the stems are from Sizzix, and the flowers are something I had in my leftover bin. The sentiment is Gina K. I used some dimensionals for some added height on the cross pieces. The tiny tag is from Pink and Main.

Now, hop on over to Just Us Girls and check out the DT’s cards along with our brand new fabulous guest- Karren Johnson! Welcome Karren, I am tickled to have you with us this month!

Take care, Nanc’
