Bella Rose and Pretties Meet


I have my new toys and after playing with the Big Shot I had some scalloped circles to play with. I knew I wanted to use a scallop circle made from the rose paper and Ridinghood Red cardstock. It took some trial and error before I came up with this. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I think the Ridinghood red has become my favorite colour. I seems everything I have made the last while has that color somewhere in the project. I used always artichoke ribbon for the leaves to my flower.

More of the Bella Rose DSP


Here is another card made with the new colours. Kiwi Kiss is the base and Pink Pirouette is the layer under the DSP. This is such a soft pink. A perfect pick for baby girls. The hodge podge is from Styled Silver.

Summer has been busy. Two weeks ago while we were camping I had a chance to play with my New Catty pre-order toys. Now today I have a chance to up-load some odf what I did. The Bella Rose DSP and the new In-colours are gorgeous. I love them. My goal for that stamp session was to only use new colours and stamp sets. I can hardly wait to see what the stamp set that goes with the Bella Rose DSP will look like. I am a sucker for Roese which dosen't help any.
My new catalouges have been sent so soon........ I hope.

More DSP


This is called a spring card. The tutorial is on SCSunder resources. This is my first atempt at making this fun card using DSP. A couple score lines and a few folds and voila you have a card that pops up when you take it out of the envelope. You will need the 5 1/2" square envelopes for this cute card.

Double Sided Paper



I finally have some time to play. We got rain yesterday and today so my gardening has come to a halt.
I haven't been able to find my camera cord every since we had to have our DSL modem replaced so I had to scan my work. It dosen't show the folds like a picture would.
I found this cool idea on a blog with a tutorial and had to play. Sorry I didn't bookmark and can't remember whose it was so I could give you the link. I used paper from the Boho Blend scrapin kit.

Faux Fresh Cut

I didn't order the Fresh Cut stamp set or the notes . Tonight when I was wishing for something new to play with, it all of a sudden hit me that with the punches I could do a faux Fresh Cut note. This is what I came up with using the 5-petal flower punch and the retired Spring Bouquet flower punch.

Double Pocket Card


I finally took time to stamp tonight. Hubby is gone for the weekend fishing and I decided that the unplanted flower beds can wait till tomorrow. The last 2 weekends I was babysitting 2 of the grandkids ages 3 and 6 so stamping didn't happen.

Splitcoast had the tutorial for this card this wek. I thought it looked very interesting. It is actually quite easy to do. I plan to make another one for our friends 25th aniversary.

If you live near me and would like to learn how to make this card, contact me and book a workshop and ask for the double pocket card. I will demonstrate it for you and your friends.
