And the award goes to ...

Hello friends!

Today I have a fun card to share with you.  I really started off this card just by playing with the Striped Scallop die.  (The wavy looking black background.)  I bought that die a couple months ago and just BARELY got a chance to play with it.  Shame!


After I got the background down, I decided to play with my blendabilites and my blended bloom stamp and the flower came in to play.  I started laying stuff out on the card and decided to tuck some ribbon behind the flower and as soon as I did, it struck me that it kind of had the look of an award ribbon so I decided to roll with it and use my so social stamp set to stamp the "number one mother" stamp.  SO CUTE!  This card went in the mail to my momma yesterday and I'm hoping she gets it before she sees this on my blog.  (I don't think she checks my blog EVERY DAY)

You can see that I decided to stamp the blended bloom on the envelope (in the picture above) and I also decided to stamp it on the inside of the card.  I rarely stamp the inside of my cards, but I like the effect.  Here's what the inside of the card looks like:


That's it for today, friends.  All the supplies for this card are listed below.  If you see anything you want, just click on it and you will be taken directly to my on-line store to that specific item.

Until next time ... here's wishing you many creative adventures and a very Blessed day!

Faith Based Friday ~ Blendabilites Day 5

Hello again, friends .... and HAPPY FRIDAY!

For those of you who visit my blog regularly, you know that Friday's are "Faith Based Friday" on my blog.  My faith is the driving force in my life and in my Stampin' Up! business and so it feels natural to dedicate a day to some sort of Faith-Based project.

Today's project is not "obviously" a faith based project (There's no "God bless" on there.) but sometimes we practice our faith just by loving others and, in my humble opinion, sending someone a hand-stamped card is a beautiful way to show our love.  When I was looking for inspiration for today's post, I ran across this picture:

 
 
I love polar bears!  They are my absolute favorite exhibit at the zoo ... so graceful for such big animals.  Anyway ... that cute picture inspired me to create a snow themed card that could be mailed to someone just to say "I'm thinking of you" or, better yet, "I'm praying for you":
 
 


If you've been following our blog hop this week, you know my friend, Ruth and I have been featuring the Blendabilities markers.  On this card, I used my Blendabilities markers to color the designer paper.  (It is originally white with silver snow flakes on it)  I'm afraid my picture is not the best picture because even though I colored over the entire image, the snow flakes are still very metallic and shiny.  It's a beautiful card in person. 

Don't forget to visit Ruth's page today for our last day of our blog hop.  You can find Ruth's blog by CLICKING HERE.

If you haven't done so already, I would love it if you subscribed to my blog through email.  You can do that on the left-hand side of my blog just below my picture.  All you need to do is type in your email address and my blog posts will automatically go to your email for you to read at your leisure.  (Please check your spam folder the first day or two ... you may have to add me to your approved list.  I subscribed myself to test this feature and my blog went to my spam.)   :(  

Until next week, my friends, here's wishing you many creative adventures and a VERY Blessed day!

Blendabilities - Day 4

Hello Friends:

Thanks for all the support this week for Blendabilities Week!  We've been having a lot of fun and I hope you've had fun too ... and learned some new things you can do with this awesome product.

For today's post I had originally wanted to show you all the things you can color with your Blendabilities markers.  (rhinestones, clothespins, pearls, candles, brads, vellum ... the list goes on and one and on!)  But, thanks to some very unfortunate technical difficulties, ALL the pictures I had taken got deleted.  DOH!!  So .... all I have to actually SHOW you today that you can color on is one of our Very Vintage Designer buttons.  But ... through another twist in technology, I will go ahead and link you to a TON of products below that you can color on with our Blendabilities markers.  I've tried most of them and the results are ALWAYS awesome.  Have you ever been working on a project and you thought about adding a button or brad or twine or ribbon, but you didn't have the right color?  That's not a problem anymore!  With Blendabilities, you can just color one to be the color you need!  I LOVE IT!  




 
 
As promised, I will link a bunch of products below that you can color with you blendabilities.  Just click on an image if you would like to order any of them.
 
Don't forget to HOP on over to Ruth's blog today to see what she has in store for us.  I LOVED the glimmer paper yesterday that she did on her card and, I have to say that knowing Ruth the way I do, I wasn't at all surprised to see that she found a way to get glimmer paper in our Blendabilities Blog Hop!  Anyway .... HOP on over to Ruth's blog by CLICKING HERE.
 
Until next time, here's wishing you many creative adventures and a very Blessed day!

Blendabilities ~ Day 3

Hello Friends!

Today is day three of our Blendabilities Blog Hop.  Today's card shows what you can do with a little black card stock, white embossing powder and blendabilities ... the possibilities are ENDLESS.


All I did was stamp the pansy image with versa mark ink and then emboss with white embossing powder.  Then I colored over the embossing powder with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities markers.  Because they are alcohol based you can color on SO MANY different things with them!  (And because you embossed on black cardstock, you can't see if you "fall off" your embossed lines with your marker!)

Please be sure to click over and visit Ruth's blog today as well! She's been showcasing some fabulous projects!  You can get to her blog by CLICKING HERE.

And if you're already sold on Blendabilities, then you can click on any of the images below to order yours!

Thanks for stopping by.  Here's wishing you many creative adventures and a very blessed day!
