Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Tuesday!! I hope all is well with you all!!  Life has been busy but great!!  My parents have been visiting for the past week and we have been having a great time together.  Unfortunately they leave today.  I will truly miss having them here!!!!  I am so blessed to have such special parents and I thank God for the time we have had together. Now...I get to look forward to the next time.

Today I am popping in to share a sneak peek of two stamp sets: Fishing and The Waves on the Sea, to be released tomorrow at Our Daily Bread Designs, and this week's Shining the Light challenge which is to Needle it!!!

The dp I used is some new My Mind's Eye paper I bought from Michaels. The borders on my image/sentiment panel is cut with the Spellbinders On the Edge dies.  Instead of sewing I decided to pierce...making it more masculine.

Happy Thursday Friends!! I hope all is well with you all!!  I am blessed to have my parents here for a vist!!  Life has been busy but fun!!!  I am so cherishing the time we are spending together!!!

Today I would like to pop in share a card I created.

I just had to break away from my more feminine cards to make a masculine birthday card for my dear hubby's birthday next week. Hopefully he likes it....





For my card I used Waves on the Sea and Fishing Net Background to be released on May 1 from Our Daily Bread Designs as well as The Mighty Sea 

The background is embossed with SU basket weave. For some added texture, I added burlap.  The top of the banner panel is embossed with soft swirls from Provocraft.

I hope you are inspired by my creation!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!! Thanks to all who leave comments, I so enjoy your kind words.  They make my day!!

blessings,

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!!

  This week's challenge is:
Use Scripture and nature in your creation.

Here is my creation using Morning Glory which coordinates with Spellbinders Labels 26. I used Labels 26, Labels 1, and Decorative Labels 1 to layer my card. Two of my layers are embossed with a Darice Embossing folder.








Here is the stamp set used as well as the coordinating die:

Happy Friday all!!! I hope everyone has had a great weekend and is ready for the weekend!! I know I sure am.  

Life has been crazy here in Virginia with the changes in schedule I have been going through but it sure helps to have had this beautiful weather that no matter how tired I am the sunny weather gives me a sunny disposition and more energy!! I thank God for the change in seasons and the miracles he has bestowed upon us with the new life in Spring!! Spring is my favoritie season as you see the flowers bud and open, plants sprout, leaves begin pop, and the changing colors!!

Today I am popping in to share a card that to me evokes some of the bright colors of Spring.

For my creation, I used the stamp sets Finch Collage and Hymn Collage recently released  at Our Daily Bread Designs. 

The image panel is embossed with Stampin Up Basket Weave since it reminds me of Aida Cloth and gives it a more vintage flair. The background is embossed with Darice Damask. Some of my image is cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

When I see this sentiment, I think of the verse "Look at the birds of the air.... your heavenly Father feeds them, aren't you much more valuable then they."  Matthew 6 :26.  

A great reminder to not worry but trust in God's provision.  A reminder I need often!!!!

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all are doing well!!!  

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!!

  This week's challenge is:
Use Scripture or Hymns on your creation

For my creation I used Scripture Collection 11 and  Hymn Collage from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The flowers and ribbon along the edge was colored with copics and then cut out and layered on top of the base.  I embossed the background with a Basket Weave embossing folder to give it a more vintage flair.

Hello Friends!! I hope you are all enjoying a nice spring day wherever you are.  It seems we skipped from winter to summer this year.  This week has been in the high 80's and very high humidity.  I am not complaining since that has made the trees bloom....the grass turn greener...IT LOOKS Like SPRING!!!!

Today I wanted to share two cards with a nice spring/summer image.

Spring is on it's way so I just had to make a Springy Hyacinth Birthday card!! I just love the Basic Grey Lucille so I used that as my inspiration for the colors.  The sketch is SC431 from Splitcoast Stampers for yesterday.



The stamps I used are the Our Daily Bread Designs Hyacinth and the coordinating Labels 26 dies from Spellbinders .

I love to sew on my cards but have not sewn as much lately since I had to get a new sewing machine after we moved and it just does not work like my old one. I was able to sew on this card!!! Woo hoo!!

For my second creation I used Romantic Floral and Morning Glory from Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD). The background is embossed with Stampin Up Blossoms and a Swiss Dots folder from Provocraft.




The ODBD Romantic Floral Border is cut out with a Labels 26 Spellbinders die.  I just love these dies and new stamps!! They are gorgeous and easy to make a card or project with the touch of elegance and they include flowers or a vintage flair!!

Here are some of the gorgeous stamps I used for my sets from Our Daily Bread Designs:

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all are doing well!!!  Scott has begun a new schedule at work so I am so blessed to not have to get up at 4 a.m. and only see him for a couple of hours a day before heading to bed. The schedule was fast wearing on us both!!  God is good and He answers prayer!!!

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!!

  This week's challenge is:


Other than a Classic Square or rectangle (Can have fancy edges 
or have a different shape)

For my creation I used:  Scripture Collection 11, Crocheted Background, Romantic Floral Designs from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The Romantic Floral Designs is made to coordinate with the Labels 26 die at Spellbinders.  I colored my Romatic Floral design with a pinkish Mauve colored copic (R20),  The background panel is Bridal Bouquet and embossed in a Darice folder.  The panel behind the Romantic Rectangle is stamped with the Crocheted Background on Bridal Bouquet after I had cut out the square with a Labels 26 die.

Hello Friends!! I have  a card to share today using this month's ODBD release of two fabulous dies: Quatrefoil Pattern,and Quatrefoil Design.  I just love the sheer elegance of them and the so many versatile designs you can use to create with them!!!  For today's card I cut them out of Vanilla cardstock and used an R00 copic to highlight some of the design in the die.

I decided to use some nice soft and happy PINK as my background!  It makes me feel happy and like spring or summer!!  I then added a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs Hyacinth which I stamped on Ribbon Banners from Spellbinders.  The foliage is created with a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish, Martha Stewarts leaves, and Martha Stewarts Twig out of Old Olive and Bridal Bouquet.

Good morning Friends!  Happy Hump Day!! I hope everyone had a blessed Easter!!!  Since Scott had off on Monday as well, we had a wonderful extended holiday together!

Yesterday I was up early and had a chance to play with yesterday's Splitcoast color challenge CC420 A Red and Saffron Party (Pool Party, So Saffron, Red). For my dessert option, I chose to make my card Spring (CC419).

For my creation I used the new release Morning Glory and the new Custom Quatrefoil Pattern dies from Our Daily Bread Designs. The Morning Glories stamp coordinate with Spellbinders Labels 26 . I colored the image is with copics.

The shape of the card is Spellbinders Labels 1 and Decorative Labels 1.

I just love these new stamps and have been having so much fun playing with them!!
