Here is a look at my layout!!! 

 

You will be able to find all the instructions and supplies used on this page HERE!

The background paper was made using the Flourishes 2 stamp set and Golden Sparkle embossing powder.  Just stamp with versamark and emboss with this oh so Sparkly gold powder!

The images were stamped and color with copic markers.  The sparkle that you see is Sparkling Snow, Raspberry Soda, and Daisy microfine glitter. The frame around the DP was made using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and Shimmering Sea glitter, the look is really pretty!  These sweet flowers add that special touch to my page!!  I used Tim's Holtz Birdcage Die for the little bird, inked the edges and embossed to add that sparkle with versamark and Sparkle embossing powder, the sentiments were stamped and embossing in the same manner.  All were inked with brown ink. 

This beautiful Decor Chipboard Corner adds that vintage feel to my page.  I used Magic Speckle embossing powder to create this beautiful look!! You can find a great tutorial on how to used the Magic Speckle Here.  This is one of the prettiest embossing powder, I just love the look!!

The flourish is chipboard embellishment and it was embossed with Artic embossing powder, and Magic Speckle.  I did emboss the geraniums onto a small tag with Mullberry Star embossing powder.  Perfect for journaling!
 
 

The tag was cut using Basic George Cricut cartridge.  On the shadow tag I covered it with 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape remove the backing and cover with Shimmering Sea glitter. Just add a twine bow and you will have a pretty tag!!

Pop N Cut Christmas Card

Good morning everyone, hope your having a great day!!!  Today I would like to share a Pop N Cut Christmas card I just finished!!

I just love how pretty these cards turn out!!!  You can find all the instructions and tutorials about these cards on Karen Burniston's  Blog.  She has amazing ideas and wonderful tutorials, be sure to visit her blog.

 

I used the Funky Label insert from Sizzix to cut my card base.  To create the pretty wreath I used MS pine branch punch and glittered the tips using SNS Green Iris glitter.  Just arrange your branch until you get the look your looking for.  I punched small flowers and glittered with SNS Gypsy Red glitter.  You will need the Flagpole/Lantern & Sign die from Sizzix to cut the lantern.

 

 

A look at the front of the card!! 

 

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!!!  Remember....Keep Stamping

A Wintery Christmas Card

Hi there, it's Belinda here!!  Hope you all are having a wonderful day!  I have been busy working on this year's Christmas Cards and just love the Winter Wonderland set.  I thought how pretty it would be in a window card, so I went to work!

I first cut my window froma window die, and stamped and colored my image with copic markers.  You will need to cut the image to fit inside the window die.  I used Twinkling Clouds and Sparkling Snow on the window scene.

Next die cut the window box and attached it to the window.  I thought I need something to embellish the box and it came to me, the poinsettia from the Snow One Like You stamp set.  Just stamp the image 3 times and cut out.  Color with copic markers and glittered the center with Golden Silver



You will only need the poinsettia portion of the stamp!

You will adhere the window to the card front.  I used a pine branch punch for the pine.  Arrange it on the top and on each side of the window box.  Using brushable glue add Green Iris on the tips of the pine branch.

I hope you have enjoyed this card, I really love this set!!  You can find complete instructions on how to make this card HERE!

Thanks for stopping by!!  I hope your day is as "special" as you are,  see you again soon!!

Here are 3 digital pages I just finished of this year's trip!!!  I used on all three Autumn Tradition and  Be Grateful kits from My Digital Studio.

Andy"s 1st Day of Preschool!!

Just had to share this cute page I just finished for my little grandson!!  I saw this on Karen Burniston's Blog !!  The pictures of Andy getting off the bus were a perfect match for this cute page.  He is so tiny and looked so cute getting off that big bus.

He just loves to ride the bus!!

 

 

This is a look inside my Pop N Cut card with my star of the class!!!

 

I used the blackboard technique to create the blackboard and a white gel pen for the numbers.  Just free hand the back of the bus onto cardstock and cut out to make the front of the card.

 

A look at the front of the card!

 

 He was so cute standing there with his backpack waiting for mom.  That backpack is almost as big as he is!!

 

 Thanks so much to Karen for sharing this page, I knew I had the perfect pictures to create my take on this cute page!!

 

Thanks for stopping by and remember....Keep Stamping!!

Grab a Cup – November Release Challenge!

Good morning all, hope you all are having a great week!!  Can't believe we only have a little over 2 weeks until Thanksgiving, where has the year gone??  We are celebrating my oldest grandson's birthday this weekend, he will be 11!

It is Release Week at Flourishes and to kick things off  they are inviting you to “Grab A Cup and be inspired by this fantastic photo as you create something equally warm and inviting.

 

While enjoying a hot cup of coffee, I was thinking about a beautiful snowy afternoon watching ice skaters on a frozen pond!  My first thought Vintage Postcard Stamp Set from Flourishes!  I love this set it is just beautiful. I decided to cut my card to make it look as though you are looking out the window while enjoying that hot cup of coffee.

 

I stamped my image with black ink and colored with copic markers.  I stamped a second image and embossed with Sprinkle N Sprinkle Green Marble Christmas embossing powder.  This is a beautiful embossing powder with all that pretty gold sparkle. Cut your window into 1" squares and layer onto black cardstock.  I then cut out around the frame area and used it as the window frame.  Using foam adhesive dots on the frame place on top of the colored image.  I glittered the image with Sparkling Snow.                                                                                                         


I would love to be enjoying a nice cup of coffee looking at this beautiful scenery, make you feel all warm inside!

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by and remember....Keep Stamping!!

It's A Winter Wonderland!

Good morning everyone, Belinda here with a new layout!!  This layout was created using Sparkle N Sprinkle's A Winter Wonderland Stamp Set and Flourishes Two Stamp Set both are new this month!!

As you can see this is a lot of elements on this page!! You can find all the detailed instructions on how to create this page HERE!!

This pretty background was made using versamark, Flourishes 2 and the Snowflakes from Snow One Like Me.  Stamp the flourishes first with versamark and embossed with Tinsel EP and Holiday Blue EP.  Next stamp the snowflakes with versamark and emboss using Tinsel.  

The center panel was embossed using Cuttlebug's snowflake embossing folder and stamped with the small stamp from Flourishes 2 stamp set.  This makes for a perfect place for journaling, or you could also place another picture. 

 I also added a tag that I cut using Basic George Cricut Cartridge and embellished the top with a snowflake that I cover with Brushable Glue  Jasper Blue Glitter. Perfect place to add

more journaling!

For this beautiful winter wonderland, I stamped the image across the page 3 times.  The images was colored with copic markers. To create all that beautiful "Sparkle" I used Sparkling Snow and Twinkling Clouds.  

Just another look at my wintry layout!  I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did creating it!!!  You can find all the details on how to make this layout HERE.

I will see you again soon!

Belinda
