New from Anna Griffin: Chinoiserie

 Hello friends. Today I am sharing some cards I created a few weeks ago with one of Anna Griffin's newest collections...


Chinoiserie



I love the colors of this collection and the die cut frames. I also loved layering the die cut flowers with pop dots and creating these cards.









Creating these samples was a lot of fun and I really liked how easy it was the layer all of the embellishments and sentiments in this kit. It really is a beautiful collection.

For more information about the Chinoiserie collection, it's currently available here at HSN.

Fun with the May Simon Says Stamp Card kit

Wow it's Tuesday already? Hope you had a fantastic weekend celebrating the mothers in your life. I did get to spend a little time creating after the kids went to bed and I was having some fun with this month's Simon Says Stamp card kit. I love love love the stamp set included in the kit.





So many fun images and so many possibilitites. Here's a look at the cards I created.

Eternally grateful...


I loved the Webster's Pages trims included and used the lace here. I also paper pieced the heart images and added some 3D foam to pop them off the card. I finished the dots with a little Perfect Pearls in white.

 


Thank you for the many wonderful things...

For the roses I misted some white cardstock with Heidi Swapp Color Shine and stamped the images over the color, embossed them and then cut them out to place on the card. I added some Copic markers to make the color pop more and have some shading. 



I used the Perfect Pearls included to add some dimension to my punched border and the centers of the punched flowers. I also used the same colors of Copics to color the ribbon as well.

I love the colors of all the patterned paper included in the kit. It made creating these cards lots of fun.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Have a creative day!

MFT Stamp Club Challenge

Hello friends. It's pouring rain here today in So Cal and while it may be dreary outside, I've been creating some sunny little cards in my studio. My sweet friend Lisa sent me some adorable My Favorite Things stamps that I could not wait to ink up. That made creating along with this week's Stamp Club Challenge even more fun.

 Let's have a look at the sketch.



Here's my take with the adorable Doodle Garden Sweet as can Bee image.


Supplies: My Mind's Eye patterned paper 6x6 stack , Seam binding ribbon, Papertrey ink coverplate, Spellbinders circle and scallop dies, Tim Holtz button Copic markers and Stickles.

I thought it would be fun to have the honeycomb texture behind the image so I used the circle and cover plate dies to cut the same color cardstock and layered them over one another. Then I just cut away the excess honey comb die.

Stamp Club is a weekly challenge at the MFT blog. Stop by and find out how you can create along for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the store.


Have a creative day!

Anna Griffin Eyelet Border Stickers

Hello friends! Today I am sharing some projects I created with the new Anna Griffin Eyelet Border Sticker bundles. I love that these came in White, Ivory and Craft. You can layer colored paper behind them like I did below with silver cardstock below. You can also easily layer them and add ribbon and paper pleating. The Eyelet borders are great for cards and layouts.
