Pink Persimmon Ensemble!

Good morning card makers.  Today I'm sharing a Pink Persimmon ensemble that is easy to create because it's mostly solid stamping!  So you can whip these out in no time at all.  The part that takes the longest is that little tissue paper ruffle I added, but so worth it if you like that vintage look.  LOVE this tissue paper by  Pink Paislee!!  If you don't want to take the time to create a ruffle (it is a little messy because you get glue all over your fingers), then use a border punch.

Also note that all of the image panels are ATC size!

On the first card, I'm featuring "Scottie Dog".  This set comes with different options for his coat and collar as well as 4 different scottie dog images.  You can check out another card I created using this little guy HERE.   At the bottom of this post HERE.  And 2 ATC's using this little guy HERE.



This card features "Flower Garden".  You can check out another card using "Flower Garden" HERE.  The sentiment is from "Vintage Greetings"




Remember the ATC I posted on Thur??  Well here is what it looks like on a card !  I LOVE this "Small Banner Set".  It has several pattern options that you can choose from for the fla0066gs, or you can just go with a solid color and add some letters.  

You can view another card using "Singing Birds"  HERE.  I also created a couple of ATC's last year using "Singing Birds" HERE.
You can view a layout using "Small Banner"  HERE.

I'm linking this one up to Word Art Wednesday this week, not because I used the word art (you do not have  to), but because my little birdies are singing, almost appearing as if they are shouting joyfully.   If you get a minute, hop over and read about "The Meaning of Joy".

Thanks so much for stopping by!

B-Line Designs - Gettin' Shabby!

I ADORE B-Line Designs stamps.  They are some of the most wonderful vintage stamps I have ever seen!  Unfortunately they do not have an online store, so you have to find somewhere that sells them online, or get your local store to order them.  I think she attends stamp shows as well.  The only online store I"m aware of that sells them is StampDiva.com.  If you know of somewhere, let me know.  My local store is 50 min. away so ordering more from them would be a little out of my way.  Luckily I have a stash of them.  A stamp store in Jacksonville, FL carries them so when we lived there I purchased a few.

The dog / sentiment above and bears / sentiment below are available on page 5 of their "Pick Me Up" catalog (just in case you want to get them ordered in)

You can view all of their catalogs at their web site HERE.  They are a little slow to download, but worth the wait.

Pink Persimmon Thank You

Today I am sharing a Thank You card designed with Pink Persimmon's "Scottie Dogs" and "Vintage Banners".  "Scottie Dog" comes with several different Scottie Dog poses and 3 different pattern options for the coat.  So cute!  And "Vintage Banners" comes with 9 different greetings you can use inside the banner.

I also want to share a new product I found.  It's the "Olay unltra moisture IN-Shower Body Lotion".  This stuff is awesome.  After washing you apply and rinse off and it leaves your skin silky smooth.  If you have dry skin ... I'd give it a try.

Check out Pink Persimmon stamps HERE.

Hope you are having a blessed week!

Funny Card

I'm easily amused ...  but this sentiment just cracks me up!  teehee.  Not so funny for my husband though!  Now if I'd only had a stamp of a Yorkie, it would have been even better.  This image and sentiment is by B-Line Designs.  I LOVE their stamps, but they are not so easy to find.  They don't have their own online store, so you have to either google, or ask your local stamp store to order them for you.  My local stamp store in Jacksonville use to carry B-Line Designs.  Oh how I miss "A Small Cleverness".  

I did google and found an online store that you can buy them from "Stamp Diva", but I have never ordered from them.  If you hop over, take a minute to check out Charlotte Ryan!  Just scroll down.  She is soooo cute.  I have her and a little tricycle.  I hope to use them very soon.

Here is a blog post that has several other cute idea's for using this little guy HERE.

I designed this one to swap with my local card swap group "SASSSC" (Sassy) and decided to go with a shabby look.  I recently ordered the lace and rose from "Wild Orchid Crafts".  The prices for their paper roses are so low, so I stocked up on lots of colors.  You can never have too many roses, if you like shabby chic. 

Have a great week!

Project Details
Stamps : B-Line Designs from their "Pick Me Up" catalogue "Rover, BB508D" and "Ruff Quartet BB512E"  this one comes with 4 different sentiments -  "I ruff you", "Having a ruff day?", "I plant the garden, my dog digs the holes" and the one I used on the card.

Paper Flower and lace : The Wild Orchid
Black ribbon : Offray
black streamer
deckeled scissors

I actually sewed the party streamer to create a ruffle.  The rest is pretty self-explanatory.

Having a "ruff" day? Check out these cuties!

Greetings Paper Crafters!  Remember those cute dog images from last month's ATC's??  Well here they are again.  "Scottie Dogs" comes with 4 different dog poses.  What's fun about this set is that there are several coat pattern options, polka dots and argyle in addition to the pattern used above.   And I'm not sure I've ever combined yellow and pink before, but I am lovin' it now.  This one was easy to put together using a pre-made tag.   What do you think?
