The Fairest Blossom

Hi, everyone!  I'm so happy that it's Saturday.....time for more stamping!!!!  I will be submitting this project for several Dare To Get Dirty Challenges at Splitcoast Stampers, along with today's Inspiration Challenge #400......I LOVE coffee and would drink it all day if I could, so I chose this inspirational piece, from National Geographic, which I would love to have for my stamp room!!

For my project, I used the Tote-All Package template from My Time Made Easy...this was very fun and pretty simple to make....and extra fun to decorate!!! The sentiment is from the Bold Botanicals Digital Stamp Set and the pattern paper is Botanical Beauties 'Sunflower Sprinkles'.

Here are some additional views.....a close up of the front and one of the back which has the cutest pocket!  The cardstock I used is espresso brown, although it looks like black in the photos.

The flower is by Prima, the ribbon by May Arts, the pearls are from Zva Creative, and the sentiment panel and mat were cut out with Spellbinders Labels Four which matched the design of the tote flap.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a blessed weekend!!

MTME Seed Packet Envelope Card

Hi everyone!!!  Happy Friday to you!!!  Today's project is one I made a little over a year ago when My Time Made Easy was our sponsor at what was formerly Christian Paper Crafts.  Since I have many, many unposted cards, I thought I had better get some cleared from my to-do list!!!!

Both the seed packet template and digi stamps are from My Time Made Easy.  The watering can and sentiment were printed from my pc onto vellum, then cut out, made into stickers with my Xyron sticker maker, then adhered over some Prima designer paper.  I love to print on vellum, but vellum adhesive is usually visible, so I like to use my sticker maker instead to coat the entire piece.

'Ingredients List':
Stamps: 'Tending The Garden' Digi Stamps by My Time Made Easy;
Cardstock: Stampin Up Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White, and Vellum;
Accessories: My Time Made Easy 'Simple Seedling Template', Ginham Ribbon, Spellbinders Labels Eleven, Xyron Sticker Maker,  Corner Rounder, Paper Piercer, Foam Tape;
Size: Approx A2.

Thanks for dropping by!  God bless!

Botanical Beauty Digi-style!

Hi everyone! Today's Color Challenge over at Splitcoast is one I couldn't pass up....turqoise, teal, and white....yummy!!! Even if you don't have time to play, you should check out the gorgeous submissions HERE!

This is a fun card I made using the Bold Botanicals digital stamp set by My Time Made Easy. The image was printed on white cardstock, cut out with Spellbinders Labels Four, sponged with Cool Caribbean ink, layered over May Arts Satin Ribbon, tied with a Bow Easy, and embellished with pearls by Zva Creative. The background paper is Botanical Beauties - Sunflower Sprinkles digital designer paper by My Time Made Easy.....download and print with your color printer...easy peasy and beautiful!!!


The centers of the flowers were colored with a sponge dauber and turquoise ink pad.

Thanks for stopping by! God bless!
