Hello Sunshine- Sizzix

 Good Morning creative friends and welcome

I am sharing a card with you that I designed using the new Wildflower Botanical Release from Sizzix. 

This stamp set can be combined with the Stamp and Spin. 

For this card, i stamped out a couple images 3-4 times, and i did extra leaves. Colored using Distress re-inkers and fussy cut them out. 

The background was created by using a stencil from Eileen Hull ( Lattice) and I used texture paste, let it dry, i think splattered some of the ink colors i used in the flowers on the background along with some perfect pearls.

Hello Friend: Stamp and Spin - Sizzix

 Good Morning creative friends and welcome. 

I am sharing a card with you that I designed using the new Wildflower Botanical Release from Sizzix. This stamp set can be combined with the Stamp and Spin. 

My first card, i designed by stamping the image using the Stamp and spin, then rotating the Spin twice, and stamping the image. I then stamped my sentiment in the middle after I was done water coloring.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to water color. Water coloring with Distress inks is not as difficult as you would think. I smooshed the ink on my craft mat, then used a water brush to color.

Hello Friend - Sizzix

 

Happy Friday Creative friends and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing one more card designed with the new Catherine Pooler release with Sizzix

I began with Tulips and Blooms Circle, (666779) die cutting it out on white cardstock, I then placed a larger stitched circle around it and I die cut the scallop from Scallop Circles and Borders (666801) in a coordinating paper from the collection i was working with. 

I then die cut some of the mini florals with the Tulips and Blooms to coordinate. 

I thought adding a butterfly from the Spring Wings ( 666798) would blend in perfectly, so i double cut that added a bit of shaping and popped that on the circle. 

I die cut some leaves  from Greenhouse Finds 2 (666797) and added in some blooms from the Sprinkled with Love (666800)

The scalloped base is Photo Play :A2 - Stitched Scallops Etched Dies ( SIS2837)and the paper is from Simple Stories ( Vintage Love Story 6x8 Paper Pad) 

thank you for dropping by today, I hope i have inspired you to create with this release.

Spring Wings - Sizzix

 Happy Monday Creative friends and welcome back to my blog! Today I am sharing some Butterfly Minis I created using the new Spring Wings by Catherine Pooler for Sizzix. 

These are sweet little cards! I used some of my favorite colors and created this trio. 

First up tis this "Mint" parade of colors, all three butterflies were created the same way, using the Spring Wings, (666798)  which I offset the die on a fold, so i could create a mini fold. 

To create the base I die cut the detail part of the butterfly twice, 

I die cut florals and leaves from Sprinkled with Love (666800)

 Coloring and shaping them in the same colors i used on the butterfly

Evergreen Bough, Speckled Egg, and Antique Linen Distress Inks. A bit of Peeled paint on some of the leaves. 

Here is my Pink Butterfly, that lime green just pups on this cutie. 

(Pink Peony, Vibrant Fuchsia and Tea Rose Archival Ink) 

The green is Vivid Chartreuse) 

And finally, the Purple (Distress inks: dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender were used along with a bit of  Chrome Yellow Archival)

Thank you for dropping by today, I hope these sweet little minis created with the Spring Wings have inspired you!

Your New Home- Sizzix

 Good Morning Creative friends and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing my second project designed with the new release from Sizzix  by Catherine Pooler. 

When I first received this package, i couldn't wait to dig in. This collection by Catherine Pooler, is so sweet, and perfect for many occasions. I created this "Congratulations on your new home Card" using A Good Place to Land Stencil ( 666802) 

Which combined with Good Place to Land Die ( 666850) creates these sweet little bird houses. 

With the thought of Valentines Day in the air, i used a red color palette. My background is on water color paper, and I did the smooshing technique using Antique Linen and Aged Mahogany distress inks. I then splatter some gold metallic paint to add  some detail.

I matted it on Sizzix Cardstock (666775) and then used some frames from the Krafty garden from 49 and Market, designed by Katie Pertiet to add some thin layers.

Thank you for dropping by today, I hope I have inspired you to create with this great set.

Sprinkled with Love - Sizzix

 Good Morning Creative friends and welcome back to my blog. Today Is the first day of the new release from Sizzix designed by Catherine Pooler. 

 I couldn't resist to work with the Sprinkled with Love (666800) This sweet set has a  watering can and little spring flowers.

 

I began by cutting out all the florals three times and coloring ( i pictured some to be mini daisies or sunflowers) and colored them with distress inks. to suit the color theme i had in mind. 

I die cut the watering can and added that cute heart on top. 

I added in a few floral stamens from my stash and then dabbed with clear glue and sprinkled Glitter on top. This is a technique I use a lot in my floral making and i think it really pops those little florals. 

Thank you for dropping by today, I have i have inspired you to give this sweet Sprinkled with Love set a try! Designed by Catherine Pooler for Sizzix
