Twinkles Glow with Stamps

For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters:

Hello all!! Believe it or not...I have another creation to share with you for the second day in a row.  How Thrilling to have the Dirty Dozen challenges at Splitcoast!! I love these challenges each year I was not able to participate Saturday...yet...but I had to join in on Saturday's DTGD12Twinshappy- masculine creation. Stacy challenged us to make something for the men.  A real challenge for me!!!

I decided to go out of the box and make a masculine bookmark using a sneak peak of Our Daily Bread Designs- Bookmark Trees and Bookmark Verses stamp set cut out and framed with the exclusive bookmark dies to be released on Wednesday, August 1.

The sky is sponged and the image is colored with copics. I used some dyed seam binding, colored hemp and scrap ribbon for the tassles.  The entire edge of the bookmark was distressed with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

Hi everyone!  Today I'm excited to share a sneak peek of the upcoming August sets by Our Daily Bread designs!  The two bookmarks I created are stamped with "Bookmarks-Trees" stamp sets and  cut out with some ODBD Exclusive Spellbinder "Bookmarks" dies.  The verse is from the upcoming Book-mark Verses stamp set (It is one of my favorite verses and a great reminder when I become anxious.  God says: Be Anxious for nothing....Be Still and Know that I am God.)


 The image is colored with copics.  The ribbon is May Arts Satin Ribbon.

Hello All!! Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all have had a great beginning to your week!!  We had a great weekend visiting with friends as well as visiting with my brother and his family.  My only wish is that it could have been longer.  We were very blessed to have had this opportunity and for that I am thankful.

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

Hi All!! I hope this post finds you all well!! It has been a tad bit warm this week but an enjoyable week for the most part here in Virginia.  Since it has been busy, I have not done as much crafting but today I would like to share a card I made for several challenges at Splitcoast Stampers.

This card is one I began to make for the Queen for the Day challenge (QFTD120 from a couple of weeks ago) casing Arizona Maine!! Congrats Angela!! Your gallery is amazing and I always am inspired by your creations!!

I chose this amazing card as my inspiration for this card. I kept the basic layout and doily but changed my stamps, colors, and added the stitching to meet today's WT383 stitching challenge. The inside of this card is a pedestal pop up.
My card uses the Flowering Faith and Loving Memories stamp sets from Our Daily Bread Designs. The dies used include Cheery Lynn Small Exotic Butterflies , Fanciful Flourish and Canadian Kaleidoscope .

The colors include Marina Mist, Old Olive, and Night of Navy. The frame is not only sewn but is embossed with Sizzix Plaid embossing folder.

The directions on how to make this pop up are here. It really is quite simple to make but adds a fun flair to a card.

The inside of this card uses the stamps Flowering Faith and Sharing Your Sorrow from Our Daily Bread Designs. The dies include Spellbinders Antique Frames (for the border along the bottom), ODBD elegant Ovals , and a Marianne Designs Butterfly. The designer paper is Stampin Up Holiday Treasures.
