Today is week 4 of Simply Simple. This is the card I made for today with a bit of texture added using the Dots EF. The image was stamped, embossed and colored with markers. Just a touch of ribbon and rhinestones...and done. Hope you like it.

Today's post is a card that I cased from Vicki's (It's a Stamp Thing). Check out her gorgeous card here. I did make a few changes. The colors I changed, the stamps and sentiment. I did not to cover the cute heart, so I put the sentiment in the DSP after framing it. Hope you like it. Hop over to Jean's Blog(Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see who she cased.
Thanks Vicki for this wonderful opportunity to cased you.

It has been a very busy week for me, especially with my son graduating in High School. We spent dinner with family to celebrate his achievements. Maybe if I have time I can post some pics to share. Anyway, I did a project using these die cuts for magnets and I think they turned out really CUTE!!! I even created a box for them. What a wonderful way to give these as gifts.
The magnet I used has already adhesive on them, so you just have to peel and stick.
Hope you like it. If you are interested in getting the magnet/s itself already cut, please e-mail me.
It's time to play with some colors- Riding Hood Red, Mellow Moss/ River Rock, and Kraft and a Neutral-I used Whisper White. I used the stamp image from the Vintage Vogue for my background and added the Itty Bitty Shapes with pearl embellishment. The pinking hearts border punch I used on the top and bottom. The flower was done using the extralarge fancy punch. I was just playing with the flower and I came up with this. I will be more than happy to do a tutorial if anyone is interested in making it. Hope you like it.
Hop over toJean's blog(Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see how she played with these colors.
Once again, I am excited to offer my June Kit and Tutorial using Vintage Vogue. I wanted to create a vintage look, so I decided to go for the Neutrals. Since River Rock is a returning In Color and adding Kraft as a new color, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to incorporate them.
The kit tutorial is a step to step instructions with pictures that will help you make the cards/projects. This kit tutorial is designed for everyone-whether you are a demonstartor or not, you will be able to used this kit for class, or as a gift.
For those who ordered the 3-month Tutorial already, you will get June kit tutorial (pdf file) in your e-mail in a couple of days.
If you are interested in ordering the 3-month kit Tutorial, you may go ahead and do so and I will send April, May and June (in a couple of days) and you will get the March kit for Free in a pdf file. You will have to order the 3- month Tutorial kits to take advantage of the March kit for FREE.
It has been so much fun and so much joy designing these kits in the last 4 months.
It has given me so much inspiration that I wanted to continue providing you with stamping ideas and designs but it will be your own creation.
Thanks so much!
The next 3-month tutorial will start in August.

I decided to do some challenges today. I love the layout on the Mojo Monday (Mojo140) and the Color Challenge on SCS (CC272) - Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Kraft and a Neutral. I used the Happy Together set for my main image and added the Itty Bitty Bits for the center. I wanted for my image to stand out, so I used the scallop trim border and corner punches. Hope you like it.
This is Week 3 of Simply Simple and I hope you are liking the clean and simple designs. This card has simple layout with an added scallop panel. I also used a Chocolate designer paper scrap just because it needed a litte color. I finished it off with a polka dot ribbon and pearls.
Hope you like it.
Due to unforseen circumstance, Jean is unable to play today, but she will be back Thursday.
RECIPE:
Stamps: Watercolor Trio
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
I am pretty wiped out today, working 3 nights in a row so I do not have a post.
I do want to share this Door Prize that I have won on our last Demo meeting. It has been a while since I have won and was so excited when I did. This was a creation by Lisa, one of our newest Demonstrator. She used Orchid Opulence, Old OLive and Cottage Wall DSP. Amazing, huh ? She decorated the bag, got 2 cute note cards, hand sanitizer and lip gloss and the journal book. Totally love it !!! Thanks Lisa...You rock!!!
Now, I have to come up with the Door Prize next month.
Here is today's post-Consider It Cased where I cased cards/projects from talented demonstrators and turn it into my own design. Here is a card that I cased from Amanda
(Stamp Vamps.com) . I just love how she used the tag die cut and incorporated it in her card.
I used some of her color combo, kept the layout pretty much the same, made changes on the flower placement and added more on my card. Hope you like it.
Check out Jean's blog(Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see who she cased.
Thank you Amanda for this wonderful opportunity to cased you.

Today, I will start a new posting-Consider It Cased. Basically I will be casing cards/projects by talented stampers and I will be changing a few things and still call it my own design.
Here is a card that I did using the butterfly punch and turning it into a pansy flower. Dawn (Do Stamping with Dawn) did a wonderful video how you can do the flower. For my flower, I used glossy paper which made sponging really easy. The leaves were from Flower Fancy . The sentiment is from the Summer Mini. Hope you like it.
Hop over to Jean's blog(Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see who she cased.
Thank to Dawn for this opportunity to cased her.
