Hello friends & happy Fri-YAY!! Brenda, here with you today!! Do you have exciting plans for the weekend? I have a girl’s weekend planned that involves lots of shopping with my best friend!!

I have three cards to share with you today!! They may look like they have absolutely nothing in common, but that’s not true. They are all made with a stamp that has gardenias in it!! By changing up the colors of the gardenias, you can make them into any flower to suit your occasion!

Let’s get started!!

My first card features the stunning Gardenia Garden Cling Background Stamp.

I stamped the Gardenia Background Cling Stamp onto white cardstock with Caviar Ink and colored it with Copic markers. I added a little colored pencil detail and trimmed the panel slightly. I white heat embossed the sentiment from Gardenia Wishes onto a strip of vellum and wrapped it around the floral panel, adhering it to the back. A sprinkling of Glass Slippers Round Confetti was the perfect finishing touch! I LOVE these background cling stamps…they take the guesswork out of the card layout for you!!

Next, I turned the Gardenia Wishes stamp into a Christmas card by coloring the gardenias red.

I stamped the large cluster from the Gardenia Wishes stamp set onto white cardstock with Caviar Ink and colored it with Copic markers and colored pencils. The image was cut with the Gardenia Wishes Coordinating Dies. I quickly watercolored a background panel and added some splatters. I trimmed the top and bottom slightly and backed it with black cardstock. The sentiment, from Blizzard Hugs, was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and trimmed. The gardenia cluster and the sentiment block were popped up with foam adhesive, for lots of dimension. I used a mix of Sugar Cookie and Deck the Halls Couture Mixes to add some shine!

My last card uses the Certificate of Awesomeness set.

If you look closely, some of the flowers in the vines are gardenias. This time I colored them yellow! I heat embossed the largest image in the Certificate of Awesomeness set twice with gold embossing powder onto Bristol paper. I colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers (including the background), and cut them out with the Certificate Coordinating Dies. I chose a panel of navy cardstock and gold heat embossed the wording from Certificate of Awesomeness in the center. The florals were adhered with foam adhesive and a few Medallion Gold Sequins were added for some bling!

That’s it for me today!! I hope I have inspired you to color your floral stamps to suit your occasion!!

Have a great weekend!!

Hello everyone!

Olga is here today. And I want to show you my card with Cardinal Friends.

I stamped the birds and branches on white cardstock with Noir Dye. Than I colored it with watercolor markers. The next step was applying the Coordination Die to all the colored elements.

I blended the base of my card with Parisian Blue Dye. Then I applied the Double Stitched circle Die and Double Stitched Rectangle Die to cardstock of natural color.

I combined all details of my card and decorated it with Glass Slippers Round Confetti.

Hello Everyone! Anna here with two cards using stamps from The Ton Fall 2018 Release.

To create the first one, I started by stamping images from Ribbon 3×4 Set (three in blue and three in red) with Cali Blue Dye, Cobalt Breeze, Parisian Blue and Soft Garnet Dye, Red Sangria Dye, Valentine Red Dye. All ribbons were die cut with Ribbon Coordinating Die.

I stamped the Trophy using Couture Color – Citrine Collection and Found Topaz Dye. “The Best Friend” was stamped in Noir. Next, I fussy cut this image.

I stamped “This award goes to” on the vellum panel with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it in Rose Gold.

I adhered all ribbon images onto my white cardstock card base and covered with the vellum panel and, finally, the trophy was attached to my card.

My second card features Certificate of Awesomeness stamp set.

At first, I stamped floral corner and ribbon onto a white cardstock with Versamark Ink and heat embossed them in Rose Gold. I colored floral image with Holbein watercolors. “Happy Birthday” was stamped onto the ribbon in Noir. I die cut all images using Certificate Coordinating Dies.

Then, I stamped a frame on a kraft card base and heat embossed it in white. I stamped “Certificate of Awesomeness – Awarded to You – This award hereby certifies that you are amazing in every way possible.” in Noir as well and attached all images to my card.

Lastly, I added a few sequins from Coral Necklace Couture Mix to add a touch of sparkle.
