Elzybells Sketch Challenge…
This simple Happy Mother's Day card was created for Elzybells sketch Challenge #38. I started out layering some springtime Basic Grey papers with a white dot paper in the middle. I then stamped Happy Mother's Day using stamp set Fervour Sentiments and all the inking was done with Chocolate Brownie. Hope everyone has a great day! To see more creations using these stamps and other sets check out these designers…Inge Groot, Jen Allen, Moon Hulsman, and Rachel Sztonyk. Log on to Elzybells to see the sketch, make your own creation, and even win a prize!
Cute Project with Elzybells Stamps…
I'm up late finishing this project for Elzybells new spring stamps but it has turned out to be my favorite. I'm so glad to because its for my mom. I had a great childhood growing up with my mom always by my side and I wouldn't change a thing. My mom has thought me to a kind, generous, independent person and for that I created this project. I started stamping flowers from the Floral fervour using different yellow inks and then later adding brown dots to the centers. I used the happy mother's day circle stamp from the tags-floral circles set and ...
Elzybells Sneak Peaks…
Another great day with Elzybells stamps and its time to post some creations! I'm trying to step outside my norm but the ribbon keeps getting the best of me. As you see in this card I started out by stamping different floral tops (floral fervour) and then adding stems using versamark ink. I then used clear embossing powder to give them a glossy look. The circle and the Happy Birthday were both from the tags-floral circle set. And last I added ribbon...sorry it got the best of me! Here's my other mini creations that I'm giving away to a great friend who does so ...
Elzybells New Release…Day One
Even though my yard and parking space are still full of snow spring is on its way. What better way to celebrate than with some spring inspired stamps form Elzybells. I choose stamps that would be a bit of a challenge for me but I just love my results so far. The first creation is a card to let anyone know that you are thinking happy thoughts. I used the Floral fervour set to create the flower and stem. I used two different yellow inks to create the flower color and sponged on Cinnamon Spice last before stamping. I then used Cinnamon Spice for ...
Elzybells Challange…Pattern Paper
It's time for a card challenge with Elzybells stamps. Challenge #35 is make your own patterned paper using stamps. This was definitely a challenge for me but I'm proud to share these two cards. For the first card I started out by drawing a grid using a pencil. After I had drew out the squares I stamped a small solid heart using Pink Lemonade, Chocolate Brownie, and Strawberry Fool. I erased the grid and stamped my valentine between the rows. I was going to leave the card along but everything can use bling so I placed small gems between each heart. For the second card I started out ...
Sneak Peak…Day Four…
It's day four and I have great ideas for quick gifts using Elzybells products. For my first project I used several stamp sets and created a frosted coffee bag to hold sweet treats. The first layer is stamped with swirls and dot stamps both from Heartstrings and the loves me loves me not is from Seasonal Sentiments 2. The second layer is a circle of hearts with two smaller hearts from Valentine Tags 2. All that was needed was ribbon and buttons from my stash. When creating gift bags I always attach the top with brads just so everything stays in place! I needed ...
Day Three…Another Sneak Peak…
Day three of the sneak peak for Elzybells new stamps and these are by far my favorite! I'm a gift giver and I love making things just to make people happy so this set was perfect for me. I used Tags Valentine I & II for both of these projects and they gave my packages the finishing touch they needed. The next two projects were done using containers that when empty look totally different in my eyes! The first project was an empty bottle that used to hold hot cocoa mix and after the mix was gone it's perfect for jelly beans. I ...
Sneak Peak Day Two…
Here's Day Two of Elzybells Sneak Peak Stamps and these are one of my favorites!! Oh how I love this sweet little girl with balloons! I made these cards pretty similar by using layers of card stock and simple sentiments. After coloring the images with watercolor pencils I added glitter on and around the balloons for a bling element. The first card I trimmed out a second balloon image and over lapped on the first set of balloons to make it seem like she was be lifted away! I added green dot ribbon to this card for a contrast in color. I think this one is ...
Day One of Elzybells Sneak Peak!…
Yeah! Today is the first day of Elzybells sneak peaks. After getting a box full of goodies I got right to work so I hope I didn't go overboard! All of these projects were made using Heartstrings & Heartstrings sentiments. I first stamped the heart and the sentiment on Vanilla Cupcake cardstock and popped them both with foam squares. I used the Je t'aime stamp to create a background for clear buttons. I stamped the wording onto cardstock, adhered the buttons with twine, and cut around the buttons. This simple sentiment would make a perfect baby card! My second project is a sweet notebook that is tied up ...
Valentine Cupcake Toppers…
These are super simple to make and all you need to so is more cupcakes! I'm always baking for my co-workers and they love getting handmade gifts from me so what better way then to give them the best of both worlds! I started a mini assembly line but punching out the circles and hearts, inked all the pieces, and tied twine in the buttons. I first sandwiched a toothpick between the two circles using a heavy duty adhesive. After the circles were put together all I had to do was attach the embellishments. These are available in my Etsy ...
