Winter Post Couple

Happy Wednesday everyone! Good day.

I made this card using the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge 223. I used the Winter Post stamp set to make the card. I randomly stamped the Pretty Ink Pink card stock with the different stamps from that set. Then embossed it using the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder.  The embossing made the images not showing much. Not what I was looking for but it look good anyway.

The little flower was made using the Boho Blossoms punch. I punched four of the biggest flowers out of Elegant Eggplant card stock, curled the edges and fasten them with a brad. Easy pissy flower to make.

Thank you for visiting me today!

Happy Stamping!

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #221 and SUO Challenge 28, Fall Colors

                                                           

Here a Sketch Challenge #221 over at Stamping 411. My first time joining in on the fun.
I'm also joining in on the SUO Challenge 28. This is also my first time joining the challenge at this site. Hope this is ok to post 1 card for 2 different places.

I love the fall season so here is a card I made using the French Foliage stamp set again. I did the Faux Tearing Technique for the background. I tore a piece of scrap paper, put on the white card stock and then stamp away. I sponge the edges before I take the paper off. This technique makes nice background paper to match the colours you need for your creations.

Thank you for stopping by!

Twisted Ribbon Flower Tutorial

Good day everyone! Such a beautiful day here with sunshine and cool weather. Love it!

Here is a tutorial I promised to make. I guess most of you are visual type just like me. I know words just doesn't describe most things. Especially when it comes to paper crafting. So here it is.

Close up of the finished flowers.


You'll need matching colour 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, a 1-1/4" circle of So Saffron card stock (use a bigger circle if you want a bigger flower and if you are using a wider ribbon) and Sticky Strip or Sticky Sheet. Stampin'Up!'s Sticky Strip or Sticky Sheet works best with ribbon.


Cover the 1-1/4" circle with Sticky Strip or Sticky Sheet.


Remove the plastic of the Sticky Strip and stick the end of the ribbon in the middle of the circle. I leave my ribbon on the spool so I wont waste any ribbon. I hate wasting things so therefore I keep the left overs and now I have many, many scraps all over the place. That's kind of annoying too. Anyway, back to the tutorial.


Twist the ribbon (my youngest helped me hold the circle while I take a picture, you need two hands to do this ribbon flower).


Twist and wind the ribbon at the same time around the circle and pushing the ribbon down as you go to make sure the ribbon stick to the circle.


Here is more ribbon on the circle.


All covered up circle.


Snip the ribbon off.


Bring the ribbon end to the back and stick it down with a Sticky Strip.


Here is the finished flowers on a card. The bigger flower I used 1-3/4" circle and 5/8" grosgrain ribbon and the small flower I used 1-1/4" circle and 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial. I'm going to link this card to So Shelli-blog Shelli Gardner CEO of Stampin'Up! April challenge.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by!

Mojo Monday Week 121

Hello, everyone! Happy Saturday! I got a chance to play with the Mojo Monday Challenge today. Here is my creation. I use the new Vintage Vogue and the Well Scripted stamp sets from the Occasions Mini. I ordered the clear mount sets just to try them out and I really like it. My first time using clear mount blocks. Now I can buy more stamps cause they take up so much lesser space.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Mika! and Pal's Paper Challenge

Happy Thursday, everyone! Very wet here today. Tonight is our first night of Mission Conference at my church gvbc.ca. If you are local come and visit us. The service starts at 7pm. There will be great preaching about being a missionary.

It is my niece's birthday's party this Saturday and I made two birthday cards. Well, I'm only giving her one of course. She is 1 years old and being one is very important. Gotta throw a big party to celebrate this special occasion.



I was visiting the Pal's Paper website after I made these cards and they have this pink colour challenge to celebrate cancer survivor. Now how wonderful is that! I had no idea they are doing pink. This is my first time participating in the challenge and I'm excited. You know why I'm excited? They are having a blog candy give away. Now that is exciting!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderfulday!

SCS Colour Challenge 191

Here is my take on the SCS Tuesday Colour Challenge. I love all this colour combo! they are so pretty together.

I used the Eastern Bloom stamp set for main image and Pocket Silhouette stamp set for the sentiment. I cut two circles using the Coluzzle Cutting system and pierce the Riding Hood Red circle one. The blossom branch was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto Whisper White cs then in Pink Pirouette ink onto another WW cs. I cut the flowers out and adhere them with Two Way glue. Yes, I did cut every single flowers out. It was a lot of work but very worth it. It made the flowers stand out more. The two big flowers was stamped, cut out and adhere with dimensional. The rest of the card is self explanatory.

Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Happy Stamping!

Sketch Challenge 120

SCS sketch challenge. I finally made use of the Delight In Life stamp set that I got during the Sell-A-Bration. This is such a beautiful set. I love this stuff!

I got the colour inspiration from a magazine. I have decided to collect all the things I see that I like and put them into a binder for inspiration. Still have not done that yet but eventually I'll get to it. I have all these things I've collected just laying around here and there. LOL Green is in right now and I have been making a lot of cards using green. I'm sure you know this by now. Green is not my favourite colour but it sure does make beautiful cards.


Materials Used:
Stamp-Delight In Life
Papers-certainly celery, hunter green, summer sun, whisper white
Inks-mellow moss, basic black, real red
Accessories-hodgepodge hardware, grossgrain ribbon


Happy Stamping!
