Hop Release Link-up part-tea!

        Hello Everyone,

    I received my order from My Creative Time and I just love love love the stamps.
 Here is something I created with them:

   The teapot is from Everyday Pop up Cards. The sentiment and the teacup are from Emma's stamp set,  You Are Perk-fect. I stamped the cup and saucer and cut the teacup out. I used copics on the teacup flowers added bling, ribbon and distressing.
Thanks,

Tammy

Monday Madness...... Imagine THAT! Color challenge

Hello  Everyone,

This challenge was to use your imagine if you own one. Create a project using black, white and pink. This was easy for me these are some of my favorite colors. For my project, I used the Black and White Teresa Collins Cartridge and made the pattern paper I used for the background. I used the Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers and added buttons and gems. This stamp I have had and then I used XL label die and cut it in half from My Creative Time.
The picture is not that great but the sentiment reads a true friend is the rarest of all blessings.I also created a scallop on the bottom and then covered most of it up with the flowers.
Hope you enjoy,

Tammy

Challenge Me Monday #103

Hello Everyone,

 This week at FCCB the challenge is

#103 Spring is in the Air

Make a project with at least 3 flowers

Here is my project:

I made this mini book to use for the pictures of the beautiful flowers that will be out soon. We are having the warmest spring at I ever remember. I have a couple more pictures and details on how I created this.

I created the base of the book in my gypsy.  I used Elegant Edges and George and Basic Shapes. I used a rectangle in the George cart to weld to the book image on the Elegant edges cart, which I cut at 4.5. Walk in my garden cart contains the first two flowers and the flower pot and vases. The third flower is from plantin schoolbook. I added buttons, twine, distressing and gems. I will be able to insert pictures into this book. I used a photo punch so the photos just slide in. I will probably embellish a little more once the photos are added.
Please join us at FCCB for this exciting challenge. The design team has some wonderful inspiration.

Thanks,

Tammy

Challenge Me Monday #101

Hello Everyone,

This week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog the challenge is Luck of the Irish.
Make a project using a shamrock or the color green.

Here is my card for your inspiration:
faith hope love luck
This is an Easel Card it is a 5.25 inch square card. The green and black paper was cut at 5" and it was made with my imagine. I used the black and white Teresa Collins Cartridge. (use this quite often) I cut the black scallop .80 with my gypsy, it is from Plantin Schoolbook. (it then fit the 5" background paper) I found the shamrock on the Paper Doll Dress up Cartridge. (there are some real gems on that cartridge-love it) The shamrock is cut at 4" and the small one is cut at 1". I used MCT Teeny tag die and greeting and tied on the stem of the shamrock. The cup was cut at 2" and found on Smiley Cards. I cut it out in white used copics, glossy accents and flower soft. I used some ribbon, rose and bling. (of course not a card without bling)

This picture shows the card sitting up like an easel. To make the easel card I took CS cut at 5.25 by 10.5 then I scored it at 2 5/8 and 5 1/4.

Just another close up.

Please join us at FCCB for this exciting challenge. The design team has some wonderful inspiration for you.

Thanks,
Tammy

Creative Cutter Room - Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Theme Shape Card!
Create a new card using a shape no squares no rectangles!
 
Here is my entry: 
 It has been such a great winter here in the northeast that I have had spring fever for some time, which inspired me for this card with flowers.  The teacup shaped card is on A Child's Year. (Easy, I didn't even have to create one with my gypsy.) I cut this  out at 5.5 and the ovals are from the George and Basic shapes cut at 3.25 and 2.75. I added some ribbon, prima flowers and some bling. Hello Spring is from the Hello Spring stamp set from MCT. The paper is from DCWV.

Thowback Thursday "CRICUT-LESS CHALLENGE"!


Hello Everyone,

 

*** This is a "CRICUTLESS" Challenge! Meaning, you are not allowed to use your cricuts, imagines, e2's or your cameo's or any "Electronic machine"! Basically, we are taking it back "Old School"! You are totally allowed to use punches &/or your cuttlebug!


Here is my project:

My card base is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2. I used my Nestabilities circle and scalloped circle dies. I used My Favorite Things die-namics for the flowers. The stamp is a Simply gorjuss rubber stamp. I used copics, pencils and paper piecing on the girl. I am not very good with my copics yet especially black hair. The stamp is called Winter Friend. For the bear I used a gray copic for some shadow and them I put glossy accents over the whole bear and on top of that I used fuzzy fun flock by Stampendous. I have used others but this brand I really like. A few pearls and the Hello came from MCT stamp set Hello Spring, I only used the Hello and masked off the spring. I also used pop ups for the circle.

Thanks,


Tammy
