My Sweet Petunia meets My Favorite Things

Hi everyone, 

Happy Friday....today, we are collaborating with My Favorite Things!!! 

You know when you say something you shouldn't have or react in a some way that shouldn't have. Well that happened to me the other day. I went on and on for 5 minutes at my friend, who apparently didn't have the best day/morning so far. So, of course afterwards I felt really bad that I was being "mean" to him. 

I thought this set called Cute Chemists from My Favorite things was perfect one to say sorry.

To make my card I started with a panel of white card stock and lined up the image and sentiment in my MISTI and stamped once. I colored the image  using alcohol based markers, and put it back in the MISTI and stamped one to two more times. Trimmed it down, masked the top using piece and card stock and the MISTI to hold it still (with magnet on top) and inked the bottoms part. I used the new patterned paper stack to add a strip to the side and then a strip of red card stock.

Assembled the card onto pink card base.

Both MISTI and MFT have give aways, Each company is giving away $50 gift certificate. Just leave a comment for a chance to win.

Impression Obsession: Old is New

Hi everyone,

Sometimes we get so busy with new released stamps that we forget about our old favorites. The Impression Obsession team has set aside a couple days a month to share some new projects using some great older stamps. You can see the list of today’s participants on the Impression Obsession blog 

For my card today I used the Dancing Leaves background along with an very old favorite Comfort zone.

I stamped the background onto white cards stock using Chartreuse ink. Trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4". Next I stamped the sentiment onto black card stock using Versamark ink and embossed in white. Trimmed the strip to size. Adhered to the stamped panel and using fun foam to black note card. To finish it off I added few black rhinestones.

Catherine Pooler Stamp of Approval Adoring You is LIVE

Hi everyone!
The Adoring You is already live for the general public. There are only limited number of boxes left. So hurry up! Head over Catherine Pooler's store to get yours!

In meantime I have another card to share with you using the Sweet Home Wreath stamp set and dies, along with the Adore Die and Congratulations sentiments from the SOA collection.

To make the card I die cut the Adore die from white card stock and adhered to white card base.

I stamped the wreath using Over Coffee, Spruce, Green Tea, Rose Petals and Juniper Mist ink pads. 

Next I die cut them and adhered to the card. I stamped Dream using Midnight ink. ;)
