You are so Beautiful.....

To Me....

Hello Friends and Stampers,

It's a Happy Holly-Day Monday!  I hope everyone is having a good start to the week.  It's my turn to show you some Inspiration today. 

MFT Die-Namic Lily Die Set

MFT Die-Namic Stitched Circle Stax

MFT Die-Namic Fishtail Flag Stax

MFT Simply Fabulous Sayings

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press It Paper

Best Glue Ever!

As soon as I saw the words in the Simply Fabulous Sayings, I could not help but think of the song, "you are so beautiful to me", I like to Joe Cocker version.   I also love this set because "Fabulous" is my word these days, lol.   I have used these lily dies before and I just love everything about them, so fun to color up.  I watched a tutorial and the gal used four pieces of painters tape, two long strips upside down and two on the ends to keep those in place.   Then she just placed the Lily pieces onto the tacky side and colored them with her Copic Markers and they stayed in place while she was coloring.....so easy!  It was brilliant!  Why didn't I think of that?  She also popped up her lilies with dementional foam, which I did not do here.   This time I colored up the lilies with Y35, R85, R83, and the green bases with YG63 and YG03.   These are quick and easy to color up and I really thing they are so beautiful.  I also want to mention I used the MFT Ink that is coming to the Loves Rubberstamps Store soon!!!

Laura has added so many Fabulous New Items to the store, you just have to go take a look....there are a few pages of them!!! And don't forget you have one more day to play in our Red, White, & Blue challenge.   And there is a New Challenge coming tomorrow!  And lastly, you have til Saturday to Blog Hop on our Sunday Sensation Inspiration Blog Hop, for a chance to win a store voucher prize. 

Have a great day and I will see you again next week!

A fun birthday card using distress inks!

Hello and Happy Saturday all!  It's Marcy here and I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

Today,  I have a simple but fun card to share with you!

Here it is...

I had actually planned to join last week's MFT sketch challenge but lost track of time and missed the challenge!  But I'm still glad I used the sketch because it definitely sparked some "mojo" in making this card! :)  I used a fun stencil from Studio Calico then went to town with several of my Tim Holtz distress inks spreading them over the mask and creating those beautiful vibrant circles!  The colors I used were Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade.  I love all of the inks but these colors are my fav!  I used my white gel pen to outline the circles which I really thought made them pop more.    I also added some white stitching around the black border and circle.  The sentiment comes from an MFT set called Polka Dot Greetings and I embossed this onto some vellum.    To finish off my card, I added some twine and a few colorful enamel dots.  

Here are the Supplies Used:

Polka Dot Greetings - My Favorite Things

Picked Raspberry - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Peacock Feathers - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Spiced Marmalade - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Ink Blending Tool - Ranger Ink

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see all the cool Tim Holtz distress inks in so many colors!  They are so much fun and can be used in so many different ways!!!  Also, be sure to stop by tomorrow for the fun "Sensational Sunday" blog hop!

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Marcy

Prima Tag

Welcome to a new Thursday of inspiration. I decided to create a tag this time around using a fun new Prima stamp in the store.

First I covered the tag with different sprays.

Then I stamped the image and added some splatters.

I added some Chit Chat stickers with gel medium and used my PITT Pen to add shadow around the words. 

I also used a white gel pen to add highlights everywhere! 

This was such a quick tag I threw together so I hope you enjoyed it and try a Bloom Girl Tag yourself. Be sure to check out the rest of the Prima stamps in the store here!

Items Used:

Prima Stamp - Bloom Girl Joy

A Rose is a Rose

Hi Friends and Stampers,

It's a Holly-Day Monday and I am here to show you some inspiration.  My coloring MoJo moved North for the Summer, lol.   This card came together very quick and easy, even though it has taken me the better part of the day to assemble it, lol. 

MFT Die-Namics Rose with an overlay

MFT Die-Namics Fishtail layers stack

Echo Park Papers

I love this rose and overlay die, this is the first time I've used it and I've had it for a little while, lol.  I will be using this one again for sure.  I think if I really put my mind to it, I could have gotten this one done in less than an hour.  Something beautiful does not have to involve hours and hours of coloring to be an effective hand made card.  In real life, all the colors match, lol.   So much for my photography and editing skills. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Holly-Day weekend.  We went to the central coast for the weekend and had a great visit with my Dad and Step-Mother.  It felt so good to be at the beach again and see fireworks over the ocean.  Fabulous!  My Dad BBQ'd up some fabulous ribs and chicken.  He brought some huge zuccini from home, so I sliced that baby up in disks and breaded and fried it, lol.  YUM, it was all so good! 

Now it's back to a work week and some routine.  I hope you have a great weekend!  Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog for a New Challenge tomorrow!  You still have a day to get your Anything Goes projects in as well today, for a chance to win a prize!  You also don't want to miss out on all the fabulous NEW Items Laura has added to the Loves Rubberstamps Store!!!

Thanks for Looking in on us,

Holly

Rainbow WIll Come

Happy Thursday everyone!

I really thought I would share this card today with all the brightness it fits summer to the fullest right now I think. In fact so exciting because Laura just loaded lots of new stuff in the store including new MFT products! Check out the new stuff here.

I love these papers I have been hoarding and I got to use a special flower a friend sent to me a while ago (guilty of hoarding again)!

I tried the paper piecing thing and once I got the photos edited I realized I forgot a step. Make sure you take a black marker around the edges of the paper you cut out for paper piecing. I notice you could se white spots here and there where it should look like black ink from stamping. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to day and make sure you stop by daily for more inspiration.
