Now onto my card for this months "REVEAL"!

When I saw the new sets released for June I was super excited

that two of them were ROSES!!

I have a HUGE fondness for Roses!

I stamped my Roses with Versamark on lightweight Vellum.

(I like to use the lightweight as it shows the colors better.)

Then I sprinkled my White Detail Embossing Powder on

and heat set.

I did one extra Rose for a future use!

I flipped the Roses over and colored with my Copics

on the BACK side.

I know I have shown you this technique many times

and it is a favorite of mine for sure!

I fussy cut the Roses out, then adhered with very tiny pieces

of Tear-ific 1/4" tape here and there along the edges onto a

piece of white card stock, then fussy cut them once again.

I love the soft, pastel look of them.

These were set aside and I cut a circle with my circle cutter,

then coated it heavily with Brushable Glue.

and sprinkled Bubblegum glitter on 

(don't you just love the name of the glitter)!!

I used my 'finger' tool to rub the glitter on.

I cut a Cheery Lynn Lords and Commons Doily die 

and added on top

once the glitter was dry.

The Roses were then offset on top of that.

For the sentiment, I stamped once again with Versmark on white card stock,

then used Silver Fine Detail embossing powder and heat set.

To me, this embossing powder is like 'magic'!

It literally comes alive once it is heat set!!

The background is an embossing folder from W R Memory Keepers

called 'quilted'!

Thanks for visiting with me today, I am the end of the hop,
 but if you need to go to the start go to Chris's blog.

Don;t forget to leave a comment on each of the
blogs for a chance to win the ENTIRE release!

Cheery Lynn Designs .... Lots of Layers

Going Fishin'

Today I have a super cute card to share with you I did for 

Sparkle N Sprinkle

using one of the newly released May sets 'Gone Fishin'!

I loved the sentiment so thought it would be fun to put

my fisherman in a fishbowl ..LOL!

I cut 2 fish bowls from my Cricut Explore

one from white card stock and one from a lightweight vellum.

(You could also use Memory Box Fishbowl HERE ).

I stamped the fisherman with Versmark on the white card stock 

using Black Detail embossing powder, then heat set.

The vellum bowl was placed over the top using small pieces

on the outer edge of Tear-ific Tape to adhere it.

I cut a square of white card stock, added  Super Adhesive Sheets,

cut with a 'wave' effect to the bottom.

Enlightened glitter was adhered to that for the water.

I sponged a bit of Distress Mermaid Lagoon ink on for the sky.

I cut clouds with a Memory Box Cloud die,

added Brushable glue to both, 

then Sparkle N Soft Twinkling Clouds flocking.

I die cut a Spellbinders cattail, then added my sentiment on top of those,

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark,

then sprinkled with Cerulean embossing powder.

I love how this card turned out and think it would give a fisherman

a big smile to receive it!! 

Happy Memorial Weekend!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful and safe Memorial weekend

here in the states!!

I am not on my blog until Tuesday...

on a much needed bit of 'relaxation'..

but I have the cutest card to share with you

and to support our troops!

I stamped the cutest little girl from the new

The Cutting Cafe stamp set "Everyday Elisha Jean & Friends".

This set comes with a cut file as well, but I hand cut her (very easy)

as I had my computer shut down due to the storms rolling through.

My little Elisha Jean is on her way to the Memorial Day parade

and is all dressed up in her finest red~white~blue clothes!

She is waving a little flag and having the best time!!

Check out The Cutting Cafe Shop for more stamps and

all kinds of fun 'goodies' to create with!!

Have a fabulous Memorial Day!!

A Little Birdie Told Me

Want to play BINGO?

Good, as that is what our challenge at

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards is for the next two weeks.

Our Sponsor is Robyn's Fetish.

We were given a few digitals to choose from

and I chose "A Little Birdie Told Me".

For my bingo, I chose, Buttons~Pattern Paper~~Glitter.

Now, if you can't see my glitter, well I used a glitter pen.

It is on the bird and the outline of the flowers.

I colored the image with Copics

and added a few flower buttons to the flower centers.

A bow I had rejected from a previous card was laying

on my work table and it seemed to be the perfect colors for this card!

I hope you will join us for our 'BINGO' challenge at

Chocolate Coffee & Cards.....

Let's Get In Shape At The Sisterhood

This week at The Sisterhood of Crafters

I am the hostess and I have chosen the theme

"Let's Get In Shape" .

I made an adorable teapot card using the cutest cut file

From The Cutting Cafe.

I cut it on my Cricut Explore...easy peasy!

I used  SU Certainly Celery card stock for my base

and then a snippet of patterned paper for the design

of the base of the teapot and lid.

I finished it off with a snippet of ribbon/bow,

flowers from my stash and a tiny little butterfly

that just happened to be 'fluttering' around my work table!

The sentiment 'You're My Cup Of Tea' is part of the 

Teapot Shaped Cards File.

Now head on over to 'The Sisterhood' and see what

beautiful 'shaped' card my 'sistahs' have to inspire you...

Floral Cake

The girls at The Cutting Cafe are all 'making cakes'...

YUM!!

I bet that has your attention..lol!!

But really, we are making cakes, but the paper kind....

a lot less calories that way!

Regina has created the cutest cut file '3 Tier Cake'.

It comes with cut files for a small, medium, and large cake.

You can choose to do all 3, or just one cake as I did.

I used the large size for my cake.

I had intended to do the 3 tier, but I didn't have 3 12 x 12 papers

that were alike. (Note to self..buy more alike papers)!!

It also has bottoms of the cake to set your cake on.

I used a pretty scallop edge, then a Cheery Lynn Designs

French Doily die to set my cake on...love it!!

I decorated the edge of the cake with a ruffled ribbon and

Roses on top.

There are candles and numbers you can add to the top if you wish.

I didn't as I am not certain who will get my cake,

I can always add either candles or numbers later,

So pop on over to The Cutting Cafe blog and look at all those

yummy cakes..guaranteed not to add pounds!!

Patriotic ~ Support Our Troops Challenge at Double D

Time for a new challenge at Double D

and 'Team Darlene' is on board with the theme

'Patriotic/Support Our Troops'

and using the inspiration tile below.

I decided to join in with the challenge myself

and had so much fun using a few things from my ever growing 'stash'!

I purchased the stamp I have used several years ago.

It is a Deep Red stamp called 'My Country'.

I think this is the first time it has 'seen ink"

which just goes to show I have too much!!
I stamped it with Versamark then used a
fine black embossing powder.

I made a few Rosettes with a Tim Holtz die

and I love the dimension they add to the card.

I used Impression Obsession 6 in 1 Frame die (using 3 of them)

around my image....this is a must have die, I just love it

and can't believe I waited so long to purchase it!
The 'star' paper is Bo Bunny
and the stripe papers are from a Tim Holtz Christmas pack.

The star is a Marianne Designs die....

I love the pretty edge it has on it!

A few 'candi's were added to finish.

So why don't 'YOU" head on over to the Double D challenge blog

and see all the beautiful work by the DT...join in with us

Paris In The Springtime!

Don't you love my title?

Wouldn't it be fun to be in Paris in the Spring?

I bet it is gorgeous!

My little The Cutting Cafe Ruby J sweetie is from 

the Everyday Elisha Jean and Friends stamp set.

I think she is just waiting to go into a cafe, what do you think?

I stamped her, then colored her with my copics.

Her dress was stamped and fussy cut out.

I added a bit of 'girlie' lace to the bottom and gave her some

silver 'sparkle' shoes.

A wee butterfly was added to her headband...

she is so cute!!
The background paper is from
Authentique Latest & Greatest.

Make sure and visit The Cutting Cafe Shop

 be showing up here next week!

Nasturtium 1 Flower Card

This is my post on the

Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog today.

Hi there, Diane with you today with my card featuring the new

stamp set Nasturtium 1 and a somewhat clean and simple card.

A gorgeous set with a beautiful flower

and five different sentiments!

I started my card by stamping the image with

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

and coloring in with my Copics.

I fussy cut the image out then added

Cherry Lemonade Glitter to the centers.

I just love how the added sparkle makes them 'shine'!

I added a strip of 1/4" Tear-ific tape to the edge of

my card, then sprinkled with the Cherry Lemonade glitter

along the edge.

A mason jar die cut was used, cutting it from a heavy weight vellum.

I colored the jar with a light blue Copic to make it look like water.

giving even more sparkle to the card.

I used the same glitter for the banner on the jar.

A few fun drops of Nuvo crystal drops Dandelion Yellow were added to the bottom

and butterflies to finish!

I hope you have enjoyed my CAS card today and will try one of your own!

Spring Birthday Wreath

Well, my friends here it is 'mid May' already

and that means time for a new challenge at

Dies R Us challenge blog!

The theme is "Birthday"

and it couldn't get any easier then that!

I made a somewhat CAS card using a couple of gorgeous dies:

Impression Obsession Spring Wreath

Memory Box Meadowbird Branch

I cut the Spring wreath die 3 times,

twice from white card stock and once from

a beautiful lavender design paper.

I offset the layers to make a fuller wreath.

The flowers were cut from the same IO Spring Wreath set

also from white card stock, then colored with

TH Dusty Concord Distress ink, with a pearl for the centers.

The darling little birdie is from the Meadowbird branch die set.

the perfect size for the wreath!

The strips of design paper are from

'snippets' of scrap paper that were laying on my desk.

They are actually the exact same width, but

it is an 'illusion' they look different sizes..lol.

The double bow was also sitting on my work table,

a 'reject' from another project,

but it seemed s if it were made for this card.

the Happy Birthday stamp is from SU Well Scripted .

Now mosey on over to the Dies R Us challenge blog

The next two weeks at Chocolate, Coffee & Cards our challenge is 

"Just Us Gals".

Our sponsor is All Dressed Up and I am using the sweet little image

Abi Ballerina.

I printed her out then colored her with my Copics and a silver glitter pen.

I just love the way she 'sparkles'!

I then fussy cut her out and placed her on a doily.

The background paper is just a small snippet I had left,

which I love as it has glitter added to it...more sparkle!!

I added a few Roses and die cut my leaves, then covering them with 

Versamark and a thick embossing paste.

A butterfly was added which was a gift from another blog teamie and friend Terri.

Isn't that a glamorous butterfly?

The cute sentiment was stamped and I felt it was so perfect

for my

little ballerina!
