KinderStampO Theme- spired Saturday

...

Welcome everyone to KinderStampO's Theme Spired Saturday!!  Today is my turn to post as a Guest Designer for KinderStampO.  I love being on the team, even if it is as a Guest Designer, there is such a great variety of talent to be had on this team and the girls are all wonderful!!

For today's theme  Sunshine after the Rain, I have made a card for you.

                                            

 When I think of sunshine after the rain, It makes me think of someone going through a difficult time and they need a little encouragement that the su  will come out and things will get better, I think we all have times like that,  So I figured we needed a card with pretty colors and some flowers:

So I used the DCWV Fresh Floral Stack and some Recollections card stock for paper.

I set the card up with t mats...one with the clouds and umbrella, which has small droplets on it, not sure if it is acrylic or not, I got them in a clearance bin at discount store nearby, they are meant to look like rain drops.  On the center mat, I placed the sentiment. which comes from a stamp set from Inkadinkado.  I used the cartridge, 3 Birds on Parade to cut the water fountain, and  The  Alphabet cartridhe that comes with the Cricut E2 to cut the umbrella.

Of course I love the roses in KinderStampO's store, they are so pretty!!! I used the white and yellow ones  here with a small bow , and a couple leaves fro Art Philosophy cartridge. Below is a list of  items from KinderStampO's store that were used. :

I took a picture up close so you could maybe see the drops on the umbrella.

I hope you enjoyed the card I made for you today, and i hope I inspired you to create today something to encourage someone.  Please head over to KinderStampO's blog today and make sure you check out the goodies she in hewr shop, you will love the lace and the flowers for sure. Just head  Here.

Good morning and welcome to the Jessica's (KinderStampO)  Secret B-Day Blog Hop. This was a surprise, I hope it is a good one.  Happy Birthday Jessica!!!  I hope your day is as special as you are.  I love being a Guest designer on your team, you are awesome.

Below is the sketch for our projects.   

Soooo, I made a Birthday card using this sketch and also used products from The KinderStampO shop.  First of all you shaold have arrived here from Limors' blog, if not, please start at the beginning, here there are tons of fabulous projects and you don't want to miss a single one! I will post the blog list below so you do not get lost.

For my card I used Paper from the DCWV Fresh Floral Stack.  I love that stack, it has such soft colors and beautiful flower prints/  The card stock is Michaels recollections paper. I cut the daisy flower from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 3" and then ran it through my Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing machine, sorry I do not know the name of the folder, it has writing, that is all I know. I then inked the edges with CTMH Cottan Candy.  I also Stamped the sentiment from the CTMH  Celebrations stamp set with their New England Ivy ink pad.  I then added a button to the center of the flower and a organza pink butterfly.  The rest of the embellishing came from KinderStampO's store

Products used from KinderStampO store:

I also used some yellow lace ribbon from KinderStampO, no picture available/

Make sure you take a browse through the KniderStampO store and get some goodies for yourself Here

KinderStampO Theme-spired Saturday

     

Happy Saturday everyone.  How is everyone's New Year starting out??  Super I hope.  Today I am posting for the first time as a KinderStampO Guest Design Team member on their Theme -Spired Saturday. it is all about winter Couples.

My project for this challenge " Winter Couple" I  decided to keep with the Penguins theme, I believe they mate for a lifetime, so that is a true  Winter couple.  I love the penguins from the Simply Charmed cartridge they are so adorable, especially with googley eyes.

   With valentines day around the corner, I thought I would go with the hearts on my project and have light blue kind of indicative of ice and arctic for the penguins, not only that, I wanted to use the beautiful turquoise handmade mulberry roses from KinderStampO's store.

I used the Cricut's Close to my Heart cartridge Artiste  to cut out this gift box at 5 inches.  You can find the box in the book on page 40.  I cut the penguins from Simply Charmed at 2 and 1/2 inches.  The hearts were at 2 and 3/4 and 2 inches.

  I chose the S.E.I. paper because the print on the side had all kinds of words, used with couples...Darling, Honey,Sweetie, Pumpkin, love and so on.  I used the teardrop pearls beacuse they kinda gave the look of icicles hanging from the top.

On the cover of the gift box, I tied a knot in a piece of white thule and glued to box, inked a small heart,glued some of the mullberry roses on it  and cut a piece of the Turquoise blossom trim and glued it to the side of the heart.  I then decorated the back of the box, below...
