Coloring Christmastime is Here

· 8 Comments

How is your Monday so far?

I needed a little color therapy today.

Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges! felt the same way! Their challenge this week encourages us to pull out the coloring items and get to coloring!

I pulled out this lovely stamp, Christmas Rose stamp set and some Blends –

Beautiful, huh? This Christmas Rose bundle is soo pretty! 10.01.19_TH_PRODUCT_BUNDLE_Q4_OOP_EN

I stamped the flower in Basic Gray on Whisper White and colored it with several different Blends markers. I went over the flower with Wink of Stella for a slight bit of pop!

All around the edge, I used the Light Soft Sea Foam Blends to soften the color.

I used the coordinating Rose Dies for the flower bunch.

The gorgeous flower bunch sits on a Tufted 3d embossed panel. The reversible ribbon coordinated quite well also!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Kid Cards

· 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards for kids!

Perfect time to pull out the dinosaurs! Again!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up!, Dino Days, Dino Dies, Stitched Rectangles Dies, Dino Days Bundle, Dinoroar DSP, Old Olive / Pretty Peacock 3/8 Reversible Ribbon, CCMC

This is a great kid card, but, I think an adult would like it too!

I used one of the patterns in the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper that has preprinted dinosaurs! The larger of the two patterns, you can die cut the creatures without having to do all the coloring! I used two of the outer Dino’s because I didn’t need their whole body for this card.

I stamped the sentiment, then arranged the dinos around the words. Using the Rectangle Stitched Dies, I cut the area out.

I cut a larger rectangle from the same set of dies using one of the tropical patterns. A piece of new reversible ribbon was a great addition to this card.

I mounted the sentiment over the ribbon.

What do you think? Fun? Kid-like?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great kid card projects to inspire you!
