Beccy's Place Challenge

Greetings!

Happy Hump Day!  Now when I type that (or think about it), I think of that Gieco commercial with the camel.  I have seen several t-shirts on Pinterest with that on it.  Makes me laugh.  Yesterday was a scorcher for us Michiganders and today is supposed to be stormy.  Weather like this makes me want icecream, unfortunately, I can't have it anymore.  So, I decided to hop over to Beccy's Place and pick up icecream that I can have...a digi stamp.

Here's my creation...

Sweeter Icecream

Yummers!  I do love icecream and my favorite are lemon and caramel (not together).  I made a very simple card using this image, because the icecream should be the focus.  I used Kraft paper and layered on some polka dot dp paper.  I created some colorful banners and cut my images and sentiment out on my Cameo.  I matted them on a blue cardstock and colored my image using Copic markers.  I added some glitter using Copic Spica pens and add accents using gel pens.  I finished my card off using a sentiment from Create with TLC.

I will be enter my card in Beccy's Place Challenge for the month.

Beccy's Place New Release Rose Bouquet Set

Greetings!

Today I would like to share with you the first of my final two cards for my April Guest DT with Beccy's Place.  It has truly been an honor and treat working with Beccy's beautiful images.  I will be back in July (looking forward to it) for another Guest DT term.

I used her single rose from the following Rose Bouquet set to make my card.

Rose Bouquet Set

As you can see this is the perfect set for those Mother's Day cards.  Beccy has managed to cover every special lady in your life with the sentiments.  How clever!  The amount of cards that you can make from this one set is endless. 

Here's my creation...

You are beautiful

I dedicate this to all my beautiful followers!  Thank you so much for all the kind comments that you have been leaving.  I truly appreciate it.  I think kindness is more powerful than any weapon of mass destruction amd you all have confirmed that for me.

I used a 6x6 scalloped white cardstock base and layered on some green and red cardstock.  I really wanted this card to be simple, but lovely.  I used the rose as my inspiration.  I then layered some dp that with a lace edging, which I created with Martha Stewart's punch.  Carlos assisted me again with cutting out my rose and wordart.  I then added a corner diecut from Spellbinder's in the corner and gem to finish it off.  I colored this rose using Copic Markers.

You can pick this beautiful set up at Beccy's Place store.  Also, don't forget to visit the blog to see what the other talented designers (and Beccy herself) has created.  There is also a little time left to link up a card for this month challenge April Showers brings May Flowers.

Thanks again for visiting and commenting.  May you have a beautiful day!

Bird's of a Feather...

Greetings!

Happy Wednesday!  Today I want to share with you a "masculine" card that I created using Beccy's Place new release "Feather Set."  When I saw this set I knew that I wanted to use my multi-color technique on it.  It was the perfect digital image for this technique and I love how it turned out.

Here's my creation...

Birds of a Feather

I started out with a 6x6 cream card base and layered on black cardstock and then some dp.  I cut a fishtail using black cardstock and made stitches on it using a white gel pen.  I matted my image on black cardstock and distressed the edges using ink.  I just realized that I didn't do any coloring (with markers on this card).  I "colored" my image using Microsoft Word.  Again, I love how it turned out and it would make a perfect card, in my humble opinion, for that special guy friend.

You can pick this set up and so many more when you visit Beccy's Place.  Don't forget to stop by the blog and check out what the design team put together using these images and sentiments.  Also, the April challenge is still up and running so join in the fun!

A Boy's Adventure

Greetings!

Whew what a week!.  I didn't think it was possible to cram so much into a week, but I managed. :-) I will have to fit even more into this weekend, because I have lots of fun things on my plate.  I have started a new blog and I must sit down and finish working on the blog design background for it.  Also, I have designed several new cards using my Cameo and I have several more brewing in my noggin.  I love being creatively busy. :-)

Well, I didn't want the week to get away from me without sharing with you another creation using Beccy's Place FAB "Bicycle Blossom" set.  I shared a frame with you last week using this set and now I am shifting gears (hahaha) and sharing a boy's card with you. 

Here's my creation...

Beccy's Boy Bicycle

I used a 6x6 blue cardstock base for this card and layered on red and then textured blue cardstock.  I cut a piece of dp for the edge of the card and some circles using my Spellbinder's diecuts for the center.  I used my Cameo to cut out the bike, clouds, grass and the sentiment (comes with the set).  The banner I cut out by hand.  The bike is pre-colored so that made it very easy to put this card together.  I truly love creating boy cards, because they can be simple.

Be sure to stop by Beccy's Place store (and blog) to see all the other wondeful digis that she has created.

Well, thanks for looking and commenting!

Beccy's Bicycle Blossom

Greetings!

Happy April 1st and April's Fool Day!!  lol  I hope that if someone plays a prank on you it is funny and serves only to brighten your day even more.  I told you yesterday that I had some more exciting news to share so here goes.  I have the honor of serving as a Guest Designer for Beccy's Place Design Team.  I am really excited about this, because like Paulette at Create with TLC, Beccy is a very generous and kind-hearted person.  You know the old saying, "be mindful of the company that you keep," well I know that I am in good company working with these two ladies. 

Today, is the new release of Beccy's Bicyle Blossom set (say that fast 5 times-teehehe).  I love this set because it reminds me of Spring.  I want to purchase a bike and start riding.  I haven't rode a bike since I was...well...let's just say it has been a while and leave it at that. :-)

Here's my creation using this awesome set...

Bicycle Blossom frame

I decided to create a frame, because I needed something cheerful and bright for my desk.  Keeping with the bicycle theme I used Little Bicycle designer paper to cover the wooden frame.  I then layered on purple and green swirls and added flowers.  As you can see this set comes with lots of sentiments, so I used 3 of them to create a little reminder/motivational wordart.  I used my Cameo to cut out the bike and colored it using Copics.  I went back over some of the flowers with a gel pen and Spica glitter markers.  I adhered the bike using 3D pop dots.  I think this creation will put a smile on the grumpiest face. :-)

You can pick up this set (and many others) by visiting Beccy's Place store and check out other creations from the design team and guest designers on Beccy's Place blog.  Tell her Candy sent you. :-)

Celebrate Today

Greetings!

Happy last day of winter!!  The wind is blowing and snow is falling here so winter isn't leaving without a good fight. :-)

In my creation for today, I wanted to share with you a little bit of spring and to remind you to celebrate each day despite the weather.

Here's my creation...



Celebrate Today

I started my card out with a 6x6 Scalloped white card base and layered on blue and yellow cardstock.  I then matted designer paper to white and blue cardstock.  The flower image is a freebie from Beccy's Place, which she generously gave away on her blog a while ago.  She also has a digital store that you can check out which has a lot of cool images for sale as well.

I finished the card up with some flourishes and Stickles in the center of the flower.  I used Copics to lightly color the flower and added bling in the corners to make it sparkle.  The sentiment is from another generous soul...Paulette over at Create with TLC. 

Thanks for looking!

Now get to creating...
