No Time To Stamp?

Today I have a card I made using the newly released Poppy Patch by Flourishes —  what a fun set!!!  All the various stems are separate so you can create your own cluster of Poppies, however you like!!!  Here’s the set:

And here’s the card I made — much brighter colors than my normal choices, but I just thought a Poppy card needed some bright colors.

To create my main image, I first stamped the large center poppy on a piece of white cardstock.  I then stamped the image again on my Eclipse Masking Tape and cut it out.  This Masking Tape is wonderful for those who like to mask.  The entire back has a low-tack adhesive so you can  press it on over your image and it stays tight, but then you can just pull it off when you’re done and save it for next time — really works great!!!  Anyway, once my mask was over my large center poppy, I then stamped on the remainer of the poppy stems, pulled off my mask and colored in my images using Copic markers and then stamped on my  SU Sanded background.  Then I cut and embossed the image using my Petite Oval Nestability Dies by Spellbinders, matted again in black and framed with the yellow scallops.   

For my background the lower green sheet is from the Scarlet’s Letter pad by Basic Grey and it is stamped with the background from the newly released Stamp Simply set called Thank You.  Love that little background stamp!!!  The upper half is run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I punched the corners and the butterflies, and after wrapping with the Black Sheer Ribbon and adhering it all together, I was done.  The oval is on with mounting tape to elevate it a bit and I used Zots to adhere the butterflies.

An artist, a hottie, and a peony – what could they possibly have in common?  Well, far more than meets the eye!!!

You’ve heard all of us at Flourishes mention Marcella Hawley from time to time.  I’d like to introduce you to her today.  Marcy is the artistic talent behind so many of the beautiful images in Flourishes stamp line, the latest being our series of beautiful botanical images.  Marcella Hawley was founding art director of Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion, a pioneering art-centered decorating magazine. Previously, as assistant to the art director at Martha Stewart Living, she was part of the creative team that launched Martha Stewart’s premiere television show and Weddings magazine. Now home in St. Louis, Missouri, Marcella is a devoted gardener, illustrator, decorator, and maker of things. Husband Patrick Hawley is her partner in life and business, as web developer and IT maestro for MHCreative. They have two children, Tallulah and Finn.   For more information on her work, please visit www.marcellahawley.com.

OK, so that’s who Marcy is on a professional level.  Some pretty impressive names listed on her resume, but on a personal level, she’s just like the rest of us – a devoted wife and mother who loves her husband and her children – and she’s also someone who likes to have a little fun!  And in that vein she nominated her husband, unbeknownst to him, as the Hottest Husband of 2008 through Redbook Magazine.  And Patrick OBVIOUSLY is hot, as he was one of the finalists in the contest!!!!  Huge Congrats!!! to both Patrick and Marcy!!! How fun!!!  You can see the Redbook article along with an adorable photo of Patrick and their children by clicking here.

We at Flourishes are so honored and privileged to be able to work with both Marcy and Patrick.  Patrick was instrumental in helping Flourishes get their original site up and running and he still lends a technical hand from time to time!!!  Not only is this couple hot, hot, hot!!! in many respects, but they are a part of what makes Flourishes what it is today, and we’re so pleased to share this fun news with you!!!  Thank you, Marcy and Patrick, for your part in Flourishes success!!!!

OK, so we’ve covered the artist (Marcy), the hottie (Patrick), now what about the peony?  Well, that would be our Peony stamp set, drawn by Marcy, of course!!!  I just wanted to share a card with you today and I thought this newly released Peony would be just perfect for the occasion!!!

The card base is 5.5” square.  The main image panel is 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 and is set askew on the card intentionally – just for fun!!!    I use 6″ square envelopes so it still fits in the envelope just fine.  The pink strip is Cuttlebug embossed, the Peony sentiment is run through the Cuttlebug with the Tags Trio dies by Spellbinders, and the bee, also from the Peony set, is cut with a Petite Circle Nestability die and then matted with a punched 1 ¼” circle using a SU punch.  The main image panel with the Peony was created in the following steps:

• Ink peony stamp, direct to stamp, using ColorBox Chalk Inks, and stamp onto white cardstock.
• Using SU markers I filled in areas on the leaves and stem.
• Using the Inkksentials Opaque White Pen, I colored in all white areas on the peony and accented the leaves a bit.
• Using a C1 Cool Gray Copic marker I outlined the entire image.
• I made a mask of the peony using Eclipse Masking Tape, adhered it over the peony and then stamped my scripted background in Palette Hybrid Charcoal.
• I then heavily sponged the edges of the panel with the Charcoal ink.
• I then matted the panel in gray and then pink before adhering to the card.
• I then attached my Peony tag and bee with dimensional products.

Here’s my supply list:

• Stamps:  Peony by Flourishes and retired SU Script
• Paper:  Black, White, SU Pixie Pink, SU Basic Gray Textured
• Ink:  Palette Hybrid Charcoal and Noir Black, ColorBox Chalk Inks in Orchid Pastel, Dark Brown, Olive Pastel, SU markers in greens, browns and yellow, C1 Cool Gray Copic marker, Inkksentials Opaque White Pen, Stardust Clear Glitter Pen (on wings).
• Accessories:  Black Sheer Ribbon, Black Dotted Sheer Ribbon, Tags Trio and Circle Nestabilities by Spellbinders, SU 1 ¼” punch, Cuttlebug, Textile Embossing Folder, Mounting  Tape, Dimensionals, Zots, Glue Dots, Sponge.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.  Hope you enjoyed this fun story about Marcy and her Hottie!!!  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!!!

Thanks so much for stopping in!!!  Wishing you all a wonderful week!!!

It’s time for 10 Minute Tuesday again — 0h, where do the weeks go!!!  I did a Christmas card again today as it is getting near (kind of - LOL!) the 25th, which is the day that reminds me of the Christmas Card Challenge in the Flourishes Forum at SCS.  It is a continuously running challenge to make Christmas cards with Flourishes images, and we use the time around the 25th merely as a reminder.  Please feel free to check it out and play along.

This card is 5.25″ square.  The base is black, as is the Black Velvet Ribbon.

The Very Vanilla panel is 3.75 x 4.75 and is Cuttlebug embossed with the birds and swirls folder.

The tree from Flourished Christmas is gold embossed on a Very Vanilla panel that is 3 1/8 x 3.5.  The corners are ticket corner punched, mounted on a Cranberry Crisp panel, brads added.   It is mounted with mounting tape.

A very quick and easy card, and I love the interest the Cuttlebug embossed panel adds!!!

Thanks so much for looking!!!  Hope you are all having a great week!!!

It was very late tonight by the time I got to start this card I needed for a Bridal Shower tomorrow.   So, what better to do than see who the Featured Stamper is over at SCS and check out her gallery.  Well, what a treat — the Featured Stamper for this Sunday is Denidill, and OH! what a gallery.  This is the card of Denise’s that I cased, and here is my interpretation of that card for a Bridal Shower.

The color the bride is using for her fall wedding is brown, so that’s what I went with.  I followed Denise’s exact layout, but rather than designer paper I used a sheet of white run through the Cuttlebug, and rather than a rectangular sentiment panel, I went with the oval.  And, of course, I changed the ribbons and embellishments, using Chocolate Sheer Ribbon and self-adhesive pearls to fit a wedding theme.  I also used the same rounded corner treatment that Denise did.  The only stamp set I used was Many Sentiments for my sentiment.  What a great sentiment set — just love it with its great mix of fonts and very usable sentiments.  I used the Petite Oval Nestabilities to cut and emboss my sentiment.

I did something just a little different with my ribbon tails this time — check them out:

See how I wrapped them behind the panel?  I just put some double sided tape on the back of the panel and loosely pulled my tails behind and they stuck to the tape.  Then I adhered the panel to my card.   A 100% In Control Bow — LOL!!!

• Stamps:  Many Sentiments by Flourishes
• Paper:  White, Chocolate Chip
• Ink:  SU Basic Brown
• Accessories:  Chocolate Sheer Ribbon, Petite Oval Nestabilities, 1/2 Pearls, Pop Dots, Cuttlebug and Embossing Folder, Corner Rounder.

That’s it for tonight.  Remember that tomorrow is the 15th, which means the opening of a new Dirty Dozen Gallery at SCS.  If you are not a Fan Club Member, click here for more details.  Fan Club Membership has its privileges!!! Well worth it!! 

Good night everyone!!! Have a great Sunday!!!

My apologies – 10 Minute Tuesday just did not happen this week.  First I was a day behind schedule, then I lost internet service on Tuesday for 13 hours  — so I’m just moving on – and what fun I’ve had!!!  I had a chance to just play and try something I haven’t used before – and what fun!!! I created THE most gorgeous shimmer paper EVER!!!!  And it was soooooo easy!!!  Here’s the card I made:

I used Rock-a-Bye Baby which was released last week by Flourishes and Two Scoops DP by Basic Grey.   I just LOVE this vintage baby set — just darling!!! And can you see all the shimmer on my main image oval panel?  Here’s a close up so you can really see it sparkle and shimmer:

It almost looks as though it had been embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, but it wasn’t - what I did was much, much easier!!!  I first stamped my image with Versa Fine Onyx Black (heat set) onto white cardstock and then colored with Copics.  Here’s the colors (much easier to photo the markers than to write down all those numbers — LOL!):

Then to make my *Shimmer* I used products by LuminArte — the Pure Mica Metallic in Luster Pearl and the Simple Solution #2.  This is what they look like:

Using the Miniature Spoon, take just a tad bit of the Mica from the jar and mix it with just a drop or two or three of the Medium from the bottle.  Stir it up with a paint brush and literally paint it on your card — I just painted it onto my oval.  It is wet, just like when you paint, and it took maybe 15 - 20 minutes for my oval to dry.  And I might add, this is very forgiving.  I had my first coat a bit too thick, so I just made a second batch much thinner, and painted over my first coat and thinned out the application — worked perfectly!!! When it was wet it looked a bit streaky, and I wondered, but it dried to a beautiful, even sparkle and sheen!!! This is the ULTIMATE SHIMMER PAPER!!!!  I am a happy camper!!!  So fun!!!!  I used the Luster Pearl here as I wanted a moonglow effect, but I can envision how fun using all the other colors available will be!!!

One thing I wish is that you could touch the oval I painted with the Mica and Solution.  It is totally smooth, nothing flakes off, it feels like a coated/protected surface.  This is a dream come true, especially if that glittery *fall-off* ever bothered you!!!  LOL!!!  I can’t wait to try this out in more colors and more applications!!!

Now, just so you realize,  this is the same jar of Pure Mica Metallic that I used when I did the Cuttlebug embossed background with the high sheen on this magnolia card.  You can read that post to see how I used it there.

This card is 5.5″ square, the yellowish DP sheet is Cuttlebug embossed with the Baby folder, the ovals are cut and embossed with the Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders, the scalloped oval is paper pierced to give a lacey effect, the stick on pearls were in my stash and I just love using the 1″ Satin Ribbon by May Arts on baby cards — it is so soft and supple, it feels just like the satin binding on a baby’s blanket, and I think it just gives that satiny/babyish look to a card!!!  Mounting tape is used to pop the main image/pink ovals up above the scallop and over the ribbon.

• Stamps: Rock-a-Bye Baby by Flourishes
• Paper:  White and Two Scoops DP by Basic Grey
• Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black and Copics to Color
• Accessories:  Satin Ribbon, Pure Metallic Mica and Simple Solution #2 by LuminArte, Cuttlebug, Baby Embossing Folder, Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders, 1/2 Pearls, Mounting Tape, Paintbrush.

I think that’ll do it for this card!!!  Thanks so much for stopping in, and I’m trying real hard to get back on track!!!  Hope you are all having a great week!!!

Flourishes had 2 new sets released yesterday — Lilac (oh my, HOW gorgeous) and Rock-a-Bye Baby (the sweetest vintage baby set EVER).  On yesterday’s post I made a magnolia branch, using the magnolia blossoms, from the Lilac Set.  You may see it here.  Today I’m going to show you a baby girl card I made using Rock-a-Bye Baby.  Here it is:

This card is done in the tent topper style, but in a non-traditional size.  The card base is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/2″.  The scalloped oval extends another 2″ above the card, making it 7 1/2″ tall.  This will fit in a standard business sized envelope.   Sometimes it’s just fun to do something in a non-traditional size or shape!!!

My main image (isn’t it darling!) is colored with my Twinkling H20’s by LuminArte, available at Flourishes.  To keep things simple, all the colors I used came from the same package, which is #1259.  They are listed in the supplies below.  Twinkling H20’s are sparkly, shimmery watercolors and I’m finding them extremely easy to work with.  For this card I used my waterbrush and merely dipped my dampened pen into the H20 pot (it is in solid cake form).  It is very easy to control the intensity of the color with the amount of water you use.  I wish I could have captured all of the sparkle and glimmer in the photo, but, so sorry, I couldn’t, so you’ll just have to take my word for it!!!  I am truly loving working with my H20’s!!!

Once colored, the image was cut and embossed with an oval Nestabilities die by Spellbinders, matted in one size larger, and then matted again with the scallop oval.  I love the multi-layers you can so easily make with the Nestabilities. Again, if someone doesn’t know what Nestabilites are, you can click here to see a prior post explaining them.

My card base is Cuttlebug embossed with the Swiss Dots folder — so perfect for a baby card!!!  The 1″ Wide Satin Ribbon is also just perfect for a baby card — it reminds me of the binding on a soft and cuddly baby blanket!!!  The ribbon wraps completely around the card front.  The sentiment is also from Rock-a-Bye-Baby and it is adhered tight to the card on top and popped up on dimensionals on the bottom.   It was cut and embossed with the circle Nestabilities.

• Stamps: Rock-a-Bye Baby by Flourishes.
• Paper:  White.  Prism:  Razzleberry Light, Frosted Pink, Frosted Teal.
• Ink:  Versa Fine Onyx Black.
• Accessories:  Waterbrush, Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots Folder, Nestabilities, Satin Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, and H20’s in:  Lemondrop, Apple Blossom, Guatemalen Green, Pewter, Honey Amber, all from set #1259.

That’s it — this was a relatively simple card!!!  Hope you enjoy it!!!  Thursday night’s post will be our weekly Stamp Simply Challenge, and again, it’s an easy one that anyone can play!!!  Thanks so much for stopping in again — truly appreciate it!!!

Good Wednesday morning, everyone.   I write to you today officially as a Flourish.  Yes, I am a Flourish!!!  Flourish #4 to be exact!!!    I have joined forces with Jan Marie Caruso, Nancy Kirk and Sharon Doolittle and share partnership with them in Flourishes, LLC.  I am so excited about this new venture and can’t wait to share with you all the fun and exciting things we have planned.

I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Charter Design Team when Flourishes (FLLC) opened its doors last year, and I have served as one of their designers since.  My *connection* with the style of the Flourishes images was instantly apparent to me – I just loved their timeless and elegant designs and felt so totally at ease working with them.  I truly felt that these flourishy images were made just for me — LOL!!!   Likewise, the 3 Flourishes (Jan Marie, Nancy and Sharon) and I also share so many similar thoughts, likes, desires and goals, that it just seemed to be the perfect match, and I am truly honored that they accepted me into their partnership!!! 

One of the aspects about FLLC that I admire so much and feel very strongly about, is that FLLC images are, for the most part, drawn by artists from concepts of the FLLC team, and many of the sentiments are hand done by a calligrapher.  The personal touch that this gives the FLLC images can not be replaced and is so evident in each and every set offered.  FLLC images are truly works of art, as well as works of the heart!!!

And I am super excited about the Stamp Simply line of stamps that will be debuting in June!!!  I think you are going to really like our first offering, and I just can’t wait to be able to show it to you!!!!  But, that’s a month away, so let’s concentrate on this month’s new releases, which are super fabulous!!!

The first set offered this month is a baby set called Rock-a-Bye Baby.  And do you remember when I just said FLLC sets are not only works of art, but works of the heart?  Well, this set was developed by Jan Marie, I guess you could say many, many years ago.   Jan Marie had painted these beautiful Moons and Babies on the walls of a child’s bedroom in her home, and this set is a miniature reproduction of that child’s bedroom she had painted so long ago.  Now, is that cool, or what!!!  I think it is amazingly cool!!!  And WHAT a gorgeous set – truly timeless and elegant!!!  My sample using Rock-a-Bye Baby will be posted tomorrow, so today I would like to show you some of the samples made by the Fabulous Flourishes Design Team (all links will be completed in the morning as the posts pop up):

Sharon Harnist, Leslie Miller, Tracy Durcan, Natasha Trupp

And now on to the sample that I have prepared for you today.  My card is made from the newly released set called Lilac, drawn by artist Marcy Hawley, whose work we have all come to know and love.  This set features the most gorgeous lilacs, but for today’s card I chose to use the magnolia blossoms that are also included in the set — talk about a bonus!!!

The magnolia blossoms are separate stamps and I stamped them individually into this branch formation — lots of options with these beautiful blossoms!!!

My magnolias are first colored with Copic markers (colors listed below), and then highlighted and gone over partially with a waterbrush and my new Twinkling H20’s by LuminArte.  The H20’s are sparkly, beautiful watercolors that you paint on your project, and do they sparkle!!!!  Just wonderful!!!  They are available at Flourishes and they come in sets of 12 pots of color to a set.  To use as I have done here, merely spray some water into the pot to moisten the color to your desired thickness, and paint away!!!!  The more water you add, the softer the color becomes — when you are finished, just cap it up, put it away, and it’ll be back to normal (a cake) for your next use — amazing little things!!!  Adding sparkle in a variety of colors has NEVER been easier!!!

After I colored and highlighted my stamped image, I then stamped on the word *Magnolia*, and cut and embossed my image with an Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders, also available at Flourishes.  I then created a mat in black with another of the Oval Nestabilities — love the classy look black always seems to add!!!  (And if anyone is not familiar with what Nestabilities are, just click here to get to my last post which offers an explanation and some links.)  I then punched a small hole in the left portion of the oval with my Cropadile so I could run the ribbon under the panel and up and through the hole to tie the ribbon.  The ribbon I used is the 1″ Black Sheer by May Arts.  I always refer to this type of ribbon as organdy, but this Sheer is truly so much finer and more soft and supple than any organdy I have ever seen — I LOVE the way it ties up into a pretty, fluffy bow!!!  Flourishes carries many wonderful lines of ribbon by May Arts.

The background panel (SU Blush Blossom) was first run through my Cuttlebug with the Textile embossing folder.  I then ran my Versa Mark pad across the top of the entire panel, and then I brushed on another of the LuminArte products that are now being carried by Flourishes.  This is Pure Mica Metallic in Luster Pearl.  After brushing on just a tad bit, I wiped off the excess with a Swiffer cloth, and then sealed it all with a light spraying of Krylon Fixatif that I purchase at Wal-Mart.  It might sound like a lot of steps, but it truly only takes a couple minutes to create a background panel with such luster and sheen!!! It is truly captivating and worth every minute it takes!!!

• Paper:  Blush Blossom, Black, White
• Ink:  Versa Fine Onyx Black.  Versa Mark.
• Copics:  Pinks:  R20, RV11.   Greens:  G21, G40, YG63.  Brown:  E09.  Gray:  C1.  Colorless Blender:  0.

Thank you so much for stopping in today and sharing my big news with me.  I hope you head over to the FLLC forum at SCS and take part in the challenge we are offering there, with a great prize for the randomly selected winner on Saturday night!!!!  I’ll be back tomorrow with more offerings from our newest sets!!!

Tonight I was working on a card for Flourishes May release, which is on Wednesday.  Two gorgeous new sets are being released, so be sure to check back for those on Wednesday! 

Flourishes also has some fun new product in the store, and this card utilizes some of those as well.   The new product is in a new category called H20’s and More.  Check it out for the most gorgeous colors of Twinkling H20’s by LuminArte, as well as Pure Pigment Powder with shimmering mica.  You can check out the Flourishes Newsletter for a detailed description of these products.  Here’s a peek at a little corner of my card:

Hope you are enticed enough to come and check out the new releases on Wednesday!  Tomorrow brings our 10 Minute Tuesday card, so hope to see you then, too!!!  Thanks so much for stopping in!!!  Wishing you all a good week ahead!!!

This is a card I did today using the tiny topiary in the Siberian Iris set by Flourishes.  I love this smaller topiary image just as much as I love the large Siberian Iris image in this set.  The sentiment is also from the same set.  This was done for the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS today as well, casing a card from the gallery of Kharmagirl – WOW — what a gallery to choose from - fun!!!  This is her card that I cased, and here’s my version, which was simplified:

I followed the same basic layout and I used a dry embossing folder, but that’s about it.  I omitted the piercing and stitches and added ribbon.  Where she had the sentiment placed, I placed the main image.  My topiary is colored with Copics and the ovals are cut and embossed using my new Petite Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders.  The sentiment is also on a die cut label from a new set of Shapeabilites by Spellbinders, both of which I got from Flourishes, along with the Siberian Iris stamp set, the Two Scoops pad of DP by Basic Grey and the black sheer ribbon.  The Swiss Dots folder was used in the Cuttlebug to emboss the background.  And I’m feeling really addicted lately to these darling black butterflies — I just couldn’t resist using them again!!!  LOL!!!  This card is 5.5 x 4.25″.

• Stamps:  Siberian Iris by Flourishes
• Paper:  Really Rust, Apricot, Wild Wasabi, Black, White, Two Scoops 6 x 6 pad by Basic Grey from Flourishes
• Ink:  Versa Fina Onyx Black
• Accessories:  Sheer Ribbon, Brad, Butterfly Punch by Martha Stewart, Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots Folder, Spellbinders Petitie Oval Nestabilities, Spellbinders Label Trio Shapabalities, Mounting Tape, Glue Dots.

That’s it for tonight!!! Thanks so much for stopping in!!!  See you soon!!!  Oh, I have several new sets of the Shapeabilities and the Nestabilities that I’ll be playing with this week — so if you are interested — stop in again!!!
