I am back with the second stamp of this release and today I am sharing "Mitsuyo".  You can stamp the images separately using Mitsuyo or the crane alone, I chose to stamp both and I just love the way this card came out.  I wanted to use vibrant colors to match the red on the crane's head so I busted out with my Papertrey Ink Cover Plate die in the Quatrefoil design and used a light and dark orange cardstock.  I also layered the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 3 die on top.  I used the Papertrey Ink Mega Mixed Messages stamp set to stamp out "Hi There"  I just think the sentiment is so perfect for this card!  Here's some pictures: Watch my YouTube video here: http://youtu.be/BvrNMzV4q-w This is the last release for this year, make sure to watch out for the cuteness that will ensue in 2015, you will not be dissappointed!  Release #26 will be available 11/1/14!!!  Also, make sure you check out  and subscribe to the new Sister S...

Just a quickie post today. Wanted to play with a couple of new items in my stash, I'm head over heals over the Papertrey Ink Cardstock, it is really sturdy and can hold up to the many layers I like to use on my cards.  Also wanted to try out the Papertrey Ink Boxy Banners Die - I am planning to make a Halloween banner with this die but for now just wanted to see how it cut out so I layered it on to this card.  The paper is from Pink Paislee Phantom which uses some of the House of 3 artwork.  I LOVE THIS PAPER.  I also used the matching stamp set, which is fabulous Halloween Lusciousness to the MAX!!!!  Michaels is carrying some fabulous Halloween ribbon so I threw that in too.  With this card I wanted to create a super dimensional embellishment with one of my favorite stamps in the Phantom stamp set. - Stamp on Patterned Paper (boxy banners die) - Stamp again on white cardstock, cut out interior frame - Stamp out again and cut out skull and put Ranger...

I love using I Am Roses to accent my cards, I made three Greeting Farm Princess Collection cards using some of my favorite I Am Roses flowers: 1.00 inch pink roses R6-1 0.50 inch white roses R8-15 0.75 inch white roses R3-15 0.75 inch pink roses R3-1 Small White flowers S10-15 I also challenged myself to practice my copic coloring on brown hair, the three copic markers I used to achieve the brown hair look on my cards were E74, E77, E79.  I'm finding out the best way to learn how to color is to practice and be patient, for me I've learned that you have to wait for your image to dry to see the final result. The stamps I used are from The Greeting Farm - these are super fun to color and practice hair with, also the dresses are super easy to paper peice and layer with. Princess Anya Princess Collection no. 02 Princess Collection no. 03 Here are some up close photos, I love the way these came out and the flowers are so easy to work with - a great final touch! ...

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all your sweet comments on my I Am Roses videos - I have been having a blast making projects with these YUMMY flowers.  I needed to put together a graduation gift for a friend who was graduating with her Masters!  I wanted to create a matching gift box and card to match her over the top personality. I know she loves to save everything so I wanted to create a functional and practical box.  I made the decoration removable and reusable by attaching the roses and trims to a thick black ribbon which can be adhered together with a small piece of velco attached to the ends - super easy!  This would also make a great belly band for a card as well.  I used some of my favorite I Am Roses Flowers on this project 0.25 Inch Black Flowers R1-274 0.75 Inch Pink Mix R3-1 1.25 inch Pink Mix R21-2 Black Skeleton Leaves K1-275 White 2 Inch Roses R77-15 Black 2 Inch Roses R77-274 I love the way this came out - I love being matchy/match...
