Mason Jar Shaped Card

Here is another shaped card, this time using the Mason Jar dies from Honey Bee Stamps.  It's hard to photograph that metallic silver jar lid, but it is bright and shiny in person!

This card perfectly fits in an  A2 envelope.

I used the label that comes in the set with the Playful Pastels Paper Pad in a pretty purple shade.  I colored the Lovely Layers Hydrangea  dies in blues and purples with Pan Pastels. and placed them around the label.  The words are the new adorable Bitty Buzzwords Stamps and Dies .  I love the size of these new words!

Friends Are Flowers

This new set from Trinity Stamps is a super fun one to color!  

I love the flowers in this bouquet, great variety for coloring, and of course the gnome.  Although I don't like all gnomes...  I'm kind of picky.

He is colored with Copic markers. I die cut the sentiment and placed him on a panel that was embossed with a brick embossing folder.

Same things with this gnome,  he's colored with Copic markers.  This one is placed on a background of light gray and white stripes.

May Spellbinders Clubs Blog Hop

It is time for the monthly Spellbinders Clubs blog hop of inspiration.There are some beautiful things this month!

I'm showing the Large Die of the Month and this one is called Stitched Card Front, Border and Flower.

The Large Die of the Month for May is a stitching die - but I don't stitch.  I used Sharpie markers to connect the dots! See, you don't have to be a stitcher to use stitching dies! *Ü*

For the sentiment, I used the May Clear Stamp of the Month called Borders & Sentiments.

Jaded Blossom Birthday Party!

It's a birthday party at Jaded Blossom and what could be better than birthday gnomes!  

It was the coffee gnomes that introduced me to Jaded Blossom and then I found out they were a local company.  I've had so much fun supporting my new friends and coloring all their gnomes. *Ü*

This first party ensemble uses  Kawaii Birthday Stamp Set, Party Gnome Tags Stamps set, Birthday Word Dies & Fancy Birthday Sentiments, Birthday Banner Dies, Confetti Stencil, Crate Die and Goodie Bag Die.

 

I love the colors of this festive party card! The background is made with the Confetti Stencil.  I colored the images from the Kawaii Birthday set, cut them out and stacked them up the side of the card. Party Time is from the new Birthday Word Dies cut in black and are layered on vellum cardstock.  Wish Big is from the Fancy Birthday sentiment set. 

Kawaii Birthday Stamp Set

I've put candy filled favors (made with the envelope punch board) in the Crate Die.  I used two of the slats that punch out to create loop handles on the sides.  The darling little gnome sitting on a cupcake is from the Party Gnome Tags Stamp Set as well as the #partygnome sentiment. The cupcakes on the favors are from the Birthday Banner Dies.

This guy is from the same Party Gnome Tags set and the bag is the Goodie Bag Die.  I punched holes in the bag and added ribbon handles.

Switching colors, these two birthday cards and tag are festive in reds, yellows and blues.  

The cards are from the Gnome-alicious Birthday Stamp Set and Dies and the tag is from Party Gnome Tags Stamp Set and the Bread Tag Die.

The background is stenciled with the Confetti Stencil.  I stamped, colored and die cut the gnome and leaned him on a present from the Kawaii Birthday Set. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blow Out Stamp Set and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Fancy Birthday sentiment set - I love the font on this one!

Gnome-alicious Birthday 
Gnome-alicious Birthday Dies 

The background is stenciled with the Confetti Stencil on this card as well.  I stamped, colored and die cut the gnome from Gnome-alicious Birthday and placed him among the birthday images from the Kawaii Birthday Set.

The bag of candies is tied up with the Bread Tag Die.  The gnome is from the Party Gnome Tags Stamp Set. The banner that is laying in front is from the Birthday Banners Die Set.

Happy Birthday Jaded Blossom!  Thanks for letting me party with you.
