Meet Asian Garden Additions

Good Morning and welcome to Day 3 of meeting the new stamp sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps that are being released on July 1st!!

Today I am showcasing Asian Garden Additions, with a little Asian Gardens thrown in hah!!

You know I like layers and bows and punches oh my! but I wanted to show you how easy it is with these sets to pull off the Clean and Simple (CAS) card as well.

For the purple background, I cut a square out of a piece of cardstock with the square nestabilities and then using the negative space, I sponged Plum Pudding into the center of the card to make the coloured square.

From there I just stamped my tree from Asian Gardens in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then stamped the bridge and sentiment from Asian Garden additions.

Very simple, but it says what is needed in a very clean fashion.

Now for my card!

I decided to showcase the new set Victorian Fripperie for my first peek. I have only used ONE of the many stamps this set contains, and that was the backgrounder- I LOVE backgrounders!!

The lovely strip of "fripperie", as Claire has so smartly named it, was used to make the background in Aquamist.

I added some Cosmo Cricket paper (Early Bird) with a border of Pure Poppy cardstock on the top and a piece of Vintage Cream punched with the lace punch on the bottom. 

Then I ruffled up some Vintage Cream ribbon and tied some of that fabulous crinkly ribbon (that I made myself *pat's own back!) around and adhered it to the card!

The stamped sentiment "Daughter" is from Roses in Bloom and it is stamped in Pure Poppy.

Now off to the designer's that are showcasing today! 

Claire, Belinda, Anya, Julia, Lisa, Carly (the new girl lol!), Jennifer, Lynn, and  Edna our guest designer -yay!!

It doesn't get better than that!!

Kind Words...

Just a little Teacher's Gift I made up, with a tutorial, over at  Splitcoaststampers when I was in the Dirty Dozen!  

You have to be a member of the Fan Club to see the tutorial though...sorry.....but you can probably figure it out by looking at it. If I can do it anyone can lol!

It doesn't take much to see all the wonderful works of the designers they have now! Fabulous work! This month they are focusing on invitations - too fun and so very classy!!

Of course I used Papertrey Ink's Teacher's Apple to make up this duo.....I just stamped the apples onto the memo pad - make sure you hold the memo pad together really well or you get split apples - lol! found that out already!

Don't forget that the sneak peaks for Waltzingmouse Stamps start tomorrow! I am not up until Tuesday, but make sure you get around to see the other's designers creations! And we have two NEW designers - you will absolutely squeal when you find out who they are - you're gonna love them!!

Soothe Away the Day...

*Sorry folks....this was supposed to post yesterday when I was in a golf tournament - that we won, by the way.....

Just a fun little card I made while trying to get out of this paper crafting funk I am in. 

I have got some deadlines coming up so I better find a way right smartly! yikes!!

Using Waltzingmouse Stamps Afternoon Tea set I inked up the little cups and the spoon and stamped them on the inside of the card.

Then I took PTI's die and cut out a window so you could see the cups. It looks like the cups aren't centered but that is just the angle of the card - true story. The bottom and top of the card is PTI's designer paper and Hawaiian Shores cardstock (in love but you already know that....)

 

I made the flower from some pattern tissue paper - actual dress pattern tissue paper - I bought one of Michelle Wooderson's beautiful aprons and it came wrapped in the tissue paper - bonus!!

I added a beautiful blingy brad and one of the little taggy sentiments from the Afternoon tea set!

Well, today I am off to a Breast Cancer golf tournament - so excited to be golfing again with my friends and to be raising money for a great cause!!
