The banner flags are hand cut. the bow has a chevron design, the flowers were die punched and an added button for the center.

Happy Anniversary

At the end of April my parents celebrated their 50th Anniversary. My siblings and I planned lots of surprises for them throughout the day including pink flamingos in their front yard! They have received their card so I can share it now <smile>

One of my tasks was to create their card. I wanted to include flowers and one of Mom's favourite colours - purple. I also wanted to include something for my Dad which is where the wood comes in. Since his retirement he has been dabbling in wood working so the wood paper is perfect to include him.  

The inside included a special note from all their "Kids" which they loved. 

I wanted to use the flowers on the With Deepest Sympathy stamp but the sentiment didn't fit. I grabbed my post it notes and strategically masked off the sentiment and stamped the flowers. The sentiment was another test in masking and placement as it is actually a long sentiment not stacked like I have done it. 

I sooo love my Misti!

After holding my breath and stamping, I coloured the flowers with alcohol markers and cut it out. I added some stickles to not only the balls around the flowers but also in some of the white space around the stamp.

Some wood paper in the background, inked edges and some twine finish off my card.

Coffee Gift card Holder!

Hi OCS Fans!
Today's card is all about coffee!! From the adorable High Hopes Stamp called "Ginger" to the Coffee shaped gift card holder!

I used my Silhouette machine and cut the Coffee Gift Card base and decorated it with Designer papers. After I stamped and coloured my image, I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut out the image and add a outline with pink cardstock. I also added some Crystal Stickles to various parts of "Ginger" for some added interest!

O course here in Canada, Tim Horton's is often the Coffee Shop of choice and I know my friend will love that she can go and have some coffee and treats on me!

I added the "Thank You For Being A Friend" sentiment on the inside.

Everything grows with love

Hello and Happy Saturday!

I'm back to share a little floral number using ....

High Hopes With deepest sympathy found here!

Everything grows found here!

This card has been on my mind for awhile .  I started off by cutting up my deepest sympathy stamp. I very carefully cut around the sentiment and created two stamps.  You can also tape off the sentiment while inking to preserve the stamp.  

I stamped a square piece of paper multiple times  to give a garden look to the card. Then stamped a bunch of flowers on some white cardstock and fussy cutting them.

I inked up the fussy flowers and once my background was coloured up with Copic Markers, distress inks and stamped sentiment the flowers were glued into place. 

I used an old sewing machine for my sewing stitches, added twine to my base  and pop dotted my panel into place.

Birthday Annalee

May for me means a couple of very special Birthdays for a couple very special ladies in my life - my bestie and my God daughter. Shh don't tell them, I will definitely have to be careful what I say when I share this one on Facebook! 

Annalee is perfect for my Bestie's Birthday card. My Bestie loves cats and has always had one or more in her house as long as I have known her. She is my favourite red head and it was fun to colour up this stamp for her - red hair and all! 

After colouring up my stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out using a stitched oval die. I cut my patterned paper pieces to fit the layout I decided on and stamped and cut out my sentiment. I added a stitched heart banner, ribbon, and a flower. Some gumdrops finish off my card.

Hang In There!

Hi OCS Fans!
Just popping int today to share a card I made with a stamp from High Hopes called "GiGi"! Adorable GiGi is from an older collection called "Divas". This is my favourite Diva from the collection!! I think it's her hair that I love the most! I always secretly wanted curly hair LOL!

What's great about this stamp is that you can use her for so many different occasions!  Today I am using GiGi for a card of encouragement. My paper is from the American Crafts Welcome Spring 6x6 collection. No glitter anywhere this time, (what you say?!!!) just a few enamel dots finish off my design.

I am using the HH Sentiment called "Hang In There" on the inside. I just masked off part of it to make it fit inside my little circle.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20

hair: YR21, YR24, E08, E19

Pinks: RV14, RV17, RV19
