Roxie Rose for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #167

The sketch challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday really appealed to me so I made a second card based on the sketch.  (You can see my first card here). This time I met the option of "Roses". 

Close To My Heart Products Used:

      Roxie paper (retired)

      Rosy Regards stamp (retired)

      Say it in Style stamp (retired)

      Smoothie Ink

      Cocoa Ink

      3D Foam Tape

      Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel (retired)

I love how all these papers from the Roxie paper set look so good together in this sketch!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

My Rock the Block Challenge--Day 6--Sympathy

I'm back to using the corner stamp today--my favorite stamp of the Rock the Block set which can be found here. The CS colors are Garden Green and Twilight. I used Twilight ink to stamp the corner floral stamp and the greeting. Next I stamped over both images with Versamark ink and then embossed with CTMH Polysparkle Clear embossing powder (retired). I carefully cut out the corner floral image and used foam tape to raise it up. Licorice adhesive gems (CTMH) were placed on the flower centers. The greeting is from B1369 Rosy Regards also from CTMH.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I still have lots of great ideas of how to use this set!

Clean and Simple Challenge FTL 123

This is the first time that I am participating in this challenge.  I was drawn to the simplicity of the design and have 2 entries to share.

All products are from Close To My Heart^®.  The cardstock base is Juniper.  The butterfly paper stripe is from the new Wings Paper Pack.  The maroon paper stripe is Vineyard Berry CS. The rose flower is from a new set called Rosy Regards B1369.  It is a 2 step stamp.  The solid part of the rose was stamped with Blush ink onto Blush CS.  The outline stamp was stamped with Vineyard Berry Ink.  The sympathy greeting is from a new set called Card Chatter--Sympathy D1476 and was stamped with Vineyard Berry Ink. (This set won't be available until the new catalog goes live on February 1.)

 This second card uses Amethyst CS and Purple Pansy Ink. The flower and greeting are both from the new CTMH set called Dreams Come True D1470. The holographic stripe is from a gift bag that fell apart and I just had to find a way to use it!  Here is the sketch provided by Clean and Simple:

It was fun to create these cards using this sketch--why not try it yourself? 

Rosy Regards in Mojo Monday Challenge # 173

I am really enjoying Close To My Heart's new stamp set B1368 Rosy Regards.  This is the third challenge in 2 days that I've chosen to use it in!  It features 2 step stamping which really gives the card a nice dimensional look without having to color.  This is what is included in this new stamp set:

This week's Mojo Monday sketch looks like this:

My card was made with Juniper & Colonial White as the Cardstock bases.  I stamped the solid part of the rose with Blush Ink on Blush Cardstock and then stamped the outline stamp in Vineyard Berry Ink.  The leaves were outline stamped with New England Ivy ink onto New England Ivy cardstock.  The rose was placed over a Nestabilities diecut called Labels 4 and the edges were sponged with Vineyard Berry Ink.  The patterned paper is the new Creative Basics paper called Wings which will be available to customers starting on February 1. (One of the perks of being a consultant is getting the new products a month earlier!)  Maroon buttons with Cream Opaque adhesives were used as embellishments.  The word "Love" is from the January Stamp of the Month set called Find Your Style.  Liquid Glass was applied over the rose as the finishing touch.  Hope you like it!

Card Pattern Sketch Challenge 97 and H2H Color Challenge

Happy New Year Everyone!  The holidays were a very busy time for me and it feels good to getting back to creating.  I'm enjoying the new Close To My Heart stamps that I've just purchased.  The following card meets 2 challenges--Card Pattern Sketch Challenge 97 and the Heart to Heart Color Challenge also.  For the H2H challenge we were to use Sky, Pear and Colonial White with an accent of Sorbet if desired.

  

The stamp set is B1369 Rosy Regards which is featured in the January Inspirations brochure and in the new catalog.   All pieces were sponged with Sorbet Ink also. CTMH Glitz Glitter Gel gives the rose some additional sparkle.  The word "Love" is from the January Stamp of the Month D1452 Find Your Style.

Thanks for taking a look. I always enjoy reading your comments.
