Good Morning!

I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday morning. For me…I’m relaxing on my couch, before heading out the door to spend the day with family. My very favorite thing to do.

We have a Glitter Challenge at SSCC this month and you know I love bling! I made a card, by cutting a birdcage SVG file on my Cricut, sprayed the wire portion of the cage with adhesive and applied Martha Stewart glitter all over it. After that, I got down to the real fun of this project. The McGill Peony’s! Love, Love, Love!  The McGill Flower punches are such fun to work with. I just turned the TV on in the craft room last night and while watching Glee on DVD…I made these luscious Peonies…in purple! There is a very simple to follow video tutorial right here, that makes it all so very easy to do, too.

Thank you so much for dropping by! :)

SSCC Pastel Challenge

It’s been a little while since I’ve played around with making a hand crafted flower…but once I picked up a couple of the Mc Gill Flower Punches….I couldn’t put them down… and then….I really couldn’t wait to show you what I came up with. The details in the punches for each petal are what really sets these flowers apart.

After I punched the petals and leaves, I added a bit of ink to each petal. When I had the flower assembled, I added a tiny but of Glossy Accents to the edges of the flowers petals and then sprinkled it with Twinklets Diamond Dust. The Mc Gill Flower Punches are available at Stamping Scrapping, along with a very simple and easy to follow video tutorial.

For my image, using the SSD Beaded Ovals set from Stamping Scrapping, I stamped and heat embossed a border for my sentiment from Papertey Ink.

I love, love, love the dimension in this flower!

That’s it for me tonight. Thank you for dropping by! :)
