Lady Bug Card

 Welcome back and this is my day to share with you my card this very cute ribbon on my card in the the Really Reasonable Ribbon March Ribbon Club.   Springtime is in the air and Really Reasonable Ribbon has the variety of gorgeous ribbon and supplies for those holiday and birthday cards or projects for this time of year.

 

Isn't this lady bug ribbon just adorable.  This is the 3/8" Multi Pastel Ladybug Grosgrain ribbon and you can buy this separately but it also came in March Ribbon Club Assortment called "Welcome Spring Collection".  What a very nice assortment of ribbon this month to go with those spring time projects or cards.   I used the 1/4" Scor-Tape to attach the ribbon and bow on the card that was purchased from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

The gorgeous Wild Orchid Craft flowers also came from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  There is a wide variety of these flowers at reasonable prices.  These flowers are gorgeous on any project or card. 

Check out my Lady Bug Tutorial on how to make these lady bugs.  I made several at a time and store them for future use.

Springtime Card

Welcome back Scrapy Land bloggers and we have another exciting challenge for you at Scrapy Land Blog challenge 36 called "Tie One On" including a bow (die or ribbon).  Scrapy Land has over 40-named brand dies at discounted prices.  The customer service is top-notched and you will get your orders to you fast.  Normally, I get my order within three days which is great. 
Easter and St. Patrick's Day is around the corner and Scrapy Land has those dies that will make your card stand out with that "WOW" look.

While we still have snow on the ground, I am thinking spring and beautiful pastel colors.  My little sweet picture is from Sylvia Zet Wee digi stamps online.  I colored it with colored pencils and used the Starfire glitter on the flowers by Sparkle N Sprinkle.  The sentiment is an old Stampin Up stamp.

The oval doily die is the Cheery Lynn Designs Kiwi Oval frame, the green vine is the Sue Wilson-Finishing Touches-Petite Vinery.  I am using the vinery often with my flowers and prefer not to glue but just part of the stem and leave the vines and leaves loose.  The corners is from the Sue Wilson-Scandinavian corner/border/tag set.  I am loving this set and like the small corner die for many of my cards.  I use the border often and glue ribbon or pearls in the middle of the border.  In the center of the flowers is the Impression Obsession fir sprig set.  I like this better than using a punch since the fir sprig die cuts through regular and heavy card stock as well as glitter card stock. 

The embossing folder is the Sue Wilson Designs-Rambling Blossoms.  The gorgeous ribbon is the light coral satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon that has a variety and reasonably priced ribbon and Wild Orchid Craft flowers that I used on this card and this company also has fast service and great customer services. 

I made the pearl and diamond embellishment on the ribbon using a flat button. 

Thank you so much and I always enjoy your comments.

Friend Card

I am sending this to a very special friend who just sent me nice samples of Sparkle n Sprinkle glitter and embossing powder from her supply since I  have some of SNS  glitter and embossing powder but wanted to know what was her favorite clear powders from Sparkle n Sprinkle.  I love the Sparkle N Sprinkle fine glitter and especially the EP Stickum Powder.

Where do I begin since I loved all of the samples and the Sparkle n Sprinkle stamps.  The stamp is behind the sentiment and was stamped with Versa Mark and then colored with colored pencils.
The corners were embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle EP107 Sparkle embossing powder.  The frame around the sentiment was embossed with EP 350 Pink Delight and then I applied light pink ink to give the frame an antique appearance. 

I wished the picture would bring out the gorgeous G1017 Starfire glitter on the sprigs inside the flowers.  I cut out a small square and applied Versa Mark.  I applied the Stickum Powder and then the Starfire glitter after using the glue gun.  Afterwards, I cut out the sprigs from the Impression Obsession Sprig die. 

Supplies:
Sparkle N Sprinkle:  EP107 Sparkle Embossing Powder; G1017 Starfire Glitter; EP350 Pink Delight; EP Stickup Powder, Spring Floral Stamp
Cheery Lynn Designs:  Deco Corner Set F
Impression Obsession:  Sprig Set
Creative Expression-Sue Wilson Designs- Ornate Oval-My Friend; Petite Ivy
Wild Orchid Craft Flowers
Really Reasonable Ribbon-Hot Pink

Fish Gear Christmas Wreath

 I needed a Christmas card for my son and since he fishes all the time, the Cheery Lynn Design Fishing Set was perfect for this wreath.  I punched out enough Martha Stewart pine branches until the punch broke.  I colored some of the pine branches so that the wreath has some other colors than green to stand out more.  I glued the pine branches on a Cheery Lynn English doily and used a circle die to cut out the middle of the doily for the rainbow trout which is in this same fishing set besides the lures, fishing pole, worm and bobber.  I used the Cheery Lynn Merry Christmas and cut off the snowflakes since it wouldn't go with this card. 

 I colored the fish and lures with my Copic markers and then added different colored glitters from Sparkle n Sprinkle and afterwards, clear embossing powder over the glitter to make each one stand out more on the wreath.  Also, I added some Stampendous Deep Impression Embossing Powder to make the wreath look like it had snow on it. 

I added the bobber to the bow made with gorgeous Sheer Stitch/Satin Ombre Red ribbon made from my bow maker, the Zutter Bow-It-All V2 from Really Reasonable Ribbon.   I highly recommend buying your ribbon from this fantastic company because the customer service is wonderful and the ribbon, lace and products are just beautiful.  

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas wreath with the fishing gear and would appreciate a comment.
