Poppy Patch

Hello! I hope you're having a good week! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Computer problems again! This time it was the heat sync. I had no computer for over a week! AHA! We recently put in a new motherboard too, which was also giving us problems, so we put the old one back in and had to reinstall windows again . Now my files are scattered all over the place, and I'm working on putting them back where they belong.

I finally got this gorgeous set Poppies by Flourishes. I received some images in WRAK a while back, and have been wanting it ever since, so I finally ordered it. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to make with it when this idea popped in my head. I just traced a circle in the middle of the card using a pencil. Then I just stamped the images all around, with some of each flower inside the circle. Then I just colored them with my Copics and cut out the circle. I wanted something to make it pop a little more, so I cut another circle out of black with my Cricut, so I could use the negative on the inside of the card. The sentiment is centered, but no matter how I took the picture it looked crooked with the card standing open.

Mothers's Day Card

Good Morning! I made this card for my mom for Mother's Day. I still don't have a Happy Mother's Day stamp, so I used an alphabet set to spell mom. I've got to buy sentiments more often. I usually avoid them because they're no fun, but they also aren't there when I need them, .

I made this to store my 6 X 6 patterned paper. I had it all just shoved in this plastic thing and it was just about impossible to find what I needed. So once again, I got out some cardboard and got to work . I made this the same way I made my recipe box, only on this one the top comes off completely, and of course it's lot bigger.

I'm not really loving the papers and colors I used, so I may end up tearing at apart and recovering it one of these days. Not sure what I was thinking. It doesn't even match anything in my stamp room, and I didn't have enough of that pattern paper. I made the box a lot bigger than what I needed so I won't ever have to make another one. I made the 'folders' out of white 12 X 12 cardstock cut in half. I scored them at 6, 6.25, 5.5 and a few marks in between, so that the back of the folder is the same height as the paper so I can see the tab on the back. I LOVE this! It is so easy to find exactly what I need now!

Supplies-cardboard, White, Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip cardstock, masking tape, glue, round tab punch, DSP from Hobby Lobby.

Poppy Patch

Good morning! Hope you all had a nice weekend. It pretty much rained the whole time here. But rainy days are good for stamping . I just LOVE this set Poppy Patch from Flourishes. I think I may have went a little overboard on poppies , lol. This one took a lot of pop dots . The poppy in the middle has two layers of pop dots under it.

So as I was making this card, I was really wanting some polka dot paper with Real Red/white, but I didn't have any. So...I dry embossed the dots with the swiss dots Cuttlebug folder on white cardstock and brayered over it with Real Red ink! I can't believe it worked! You do have to barely touch the paper with the brayer though. It took me a couple of tries to get one with out red where I didn't want it.

Oh, and for you Copic fans out there, you absolutely HAVE to check out THIS incredible giveaway of 72 Ciaos!
