Cupcake Pedestal Floral Frenzy

Floral Frenzy meets Beautiful Blooms.

**For cupcake pedestal directions please see previous post**

Exception being I used the P for PaperTrey for the cupcake stand.

I am going to go back and doll it up more I thought hanging flowers in the P cut out would be cute or beads?  

From Nichole...Flowers

May is the month when many flowers finally go into full bloom after a long winter's sleep.  For the blog 

hop this month we want to see your favorite take on flowers.  You can stamp backgrounds, create 

custom floral embellishments, showcase unique flower center additions (buttons, rhinestones, beads, 

etc...), flowers die-cut from different materials (like fabric, felt, vellum, etc...) or anything else you can 

dream up!  We are looking forward to seeing all of your amazing creations!

If you visit here often you know I can do flowers.  They are my most favorite crafty project to work on.  For today's challenge I broke out PTI's Beautiful Blooms DP and Floral Frenzy Stamp set.

All products used are PTI except Cricut Cindy Loo Cartridge and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  This is how I created the cupcake wrapper and pedestal.

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless.

Papertrey Ink swap round 7

My friend over on SCS MonkeyMama is hostessing this round of PTI swapping you can find the link under my header at all times to the current swap round and to round seven {here} SCS is down right now I will get the link in here when I can.

Product list...
Papertrey Ink...buttons, card stock, ink, floral frenzy stamp set, Garden of life stamp sets
cuttlebug floral dies

I made my card for this round with the sketch 1 below...


Such a sad week this has to be my last round of swapping for a bit til we can get it together around here financially. I have so enjoyed sharing ideas with my swapping friends for the past three plus years and have learned much from them. Don't worry I still will be around on SCS and the net when I can WIFI my laptop and I so hope to be back swapping real soon.

Acrylic Felt Flower Card Candy

Below I took photos of acrylic felt after I die cut it with a Spellbinders Die on the left is right out of the die (time after time I was able to get clean clear images and was able to stamp on the acrylic felt) the Right has been pulled and tugged at to get some fibers to show for the photo.


Again here is a flower that I cut using Cuttlebug flower die and tugged and pulled to get some fuzz to show up for you. All of my pulling and tugging distorted the stamped flower image and you can totally see the difference from the flowers I made the candy with and used on my card for today that were cut cleanly time after time.

Clean and Simple

This round of PTI swapping has a section for Clean and Simple CAS layouts this is the one I have chosen. I worked on these cards over the weekend and am happy to say I have them completed. Now to figure out something for my other spot...? I know this is probably getting very old but I just love the color Scarlett Jewell and the little bloomers then to combine it with the Ripe Avocado and craft YUMMY! I used the scor pal at every 1/4" to get my background for this, and you can find more about CAS {HERE} PTI round 4 swap can be found {here}.



All products PTI except for the "lil bloomer" paper.

Happy Stamp Day!

Scarlett Jewel "Lil bloomer" Garden

This new color from PTI is quickly becoming my fave to date, Scarlett Jewell. The card stock, ribbon and buttons are su YUMMY! I used my cricut and GB cartridge to make up more of my fave flowers and stitched some PTI buttons onto them. The flower stems are stamped with PTI Wishing You stamp set.

Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Stamp Day!

Guidelines

I am not just speaking about my card today with my title, we are in the second day of draining our pool, when we came home after the 4th it was green and cloudy (like someone had been over and put something in it)! I have run the pump for three days, put in the algae side and other chemicals and the water has not cleared out. This is an expensive drain with the cost of water and pool chemicals. Some people that have no moral guidelines are REALLY getting on my NERVES! They have ruined the summer fun for our children with the fireworks display (my letter was printed in the paper this week) you can see that post here and now we possibly may not refill their pool. Okay, I can't do that to the girls we will be refilling it and people BETTER LEAVE IT ALONE!

Romans 3:21-31
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the law and the prophets testify. this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. there is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus....do we then nullify the law by this faith, not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

So here is my card, I did order some PTI Guidelines card stock (I had the set for sale and thought I would try the card stock before I let it go, I am totally glad I did. I won't be inking up the grid line stamp anytime soon)! And the new Scarlett Jewell color is beautiful, LOVE IT!

52 Weeks 52 Sketches week 23

I love this sketch and I brought out my PTI stash of DP I have been hoarding. I love this stuff and am so very sad that they are no longer making the 12 by 12 size. I love this thicker card stock for cricut 3d items and scrapbooking. PTI, if you read this please reconsider the 12 by 12 paper size. The pic is of little J on her Sears photo shoot, the resolution is low (they want you to purchase from them not print your own) but I still wanted to keep all of the pics they took. Last time I checked if you wanted the high resolution pics you had to pay over two hundred bucks for the CD. Well for Little J's book I think just a reminder of how cute she was at this age is fine in the lower resolution. I will link up a pic of the shot we chose for our pic wall.

Don't have to tell you how much I love flowers, IRL, paper or crocheted. This year DH and the girls planted a vegetable garden for us in the back yard, hopefully it is in a more prime spot compared to the first year we moved here when it did not grow so well.
Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." and
God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11-12

Not So Easy, easy card

I wanted to make a single layer rockin' card yesterday, this was as close as I could get....



I don't know why something that you think should be easy is totally killer. I went through about 6 cards fronts, back and insides trying to get it to work out the way I had visioned it. I plan on giving it another go, I did want just a single layer and no embellishments. (Had to put the ribbon on, there was just a ton of card left and it needed some ribbon love.)

Bella Rose Floral Frenzy

I so can't wait to get a new digital camera, I am very sick of this scanner and its inability to scan color images. This card is beautiful IRL the colors go so amazingly well together, I did stamp the flower centers they are done in PTI's sweet blush and that color is not even showing up here. The fold part of the card is where the flowers are stamped, I love this card style and have used it a ton lately. I made it a Sketch challenge a few weeks ago, you can find that post here SCA01

Yikes, the colors are way off on the scan for this photo. IRL this card looks so darn cute I love these PTI colors in combination.

The ribbon slide was designed by ME using Cricut Design Studio and George Cartridge. If you wish to have this cut file just leave me a comment in this post and I will send you the download link.
I designed the slide so the PTI ribbon would fit perfectly and not fold up in the slots, so happy with myself on this one.

A CASE of Floral Frenzy

I so enjoy doing our PaperTrey Ink swaps, there are so many great cards that come in that my CASE file is packed full of things to do. This card is a case from Round 8 made by Cllstamper. Up 'til this swap every card has been photographed and placed into its own swap album (lack of camera is making this swap a bit tougher to compile an album). If you would like to CASE a few PTI cards these swap albums are a great place to start. Click on the justtieszen link in my sidebar to take you to the albums along with (cupojafa, amystamper and Chrys23. We are going to be finishing up round 1 for the year on Feb 9th be on the lookout for round 2 to open in Feb.

Pizza Block Party

In the words of David Letterman, "Cut me a slice of that". In this post I have used the wooden blocks that my "So Sweet" stamp set was mounted on last week. I then downloaded the adjustable Pizza Box Cut file (link found below) and adjusted it to where my four blocks would fit. The top of the pizza box inside reads..."thinking of you today" with a layered smaller flower from floral frenzy. Sorry the photo of the open box is messed up I tried a few times to get it to work and they were all a blur.



I knew because of my back and hips with one side hurting more then the other I tend to walk and sit crooked, I did not know it lead me to see crooked also. LOL!! I swear I can't scan a straight image. Anyhow these blocks were done for Jen, she had asked earlier if anyone had unmounted SU stamps. Now it turns out she has done some and also has a project in the works. I told her she was still getting these because they had her name on them, also because I broke out the Modge Podge for them (I really hate that stuff). Some assembly required.

How to alter the wood blocks...
1. Un-mount your stamps as I previously have shown
2. Remove any remaining adhesive left of the block
3. Sand lightly if they are stained or have initials on the wood
4. Apply two coats of acrylic paint
5. Cut your DP the size of a block (all blocks are not the same size)measure them all, stamp our decorate your DP
6. Adhere with Modge Podge
7. Apply two coats of Modge Podge over the entire block
8. drill small hole on top of block
9. Bend 16 gauge wire in a loop to make your photo holder
10. Bead the wire
11. Apply small amount of adhesive to the final bead and wooden block to support the wire.
12. Place your elements in your loop (here I show a butterfly, I imagined her placing some wonderful cropped photos that she has).
13. You could connect them in a line with E6000 adhesive, I did not

For the Pizza Box...
I am totally Jazzed about this one, I actually found a cut file for the Cricut. If you wish to have it go to this blog Scrapped Lives look for the Pizza Box post and leave a comment with your email and she will send you the link.
Now there is a tutorial on SCS for this as well, I did not look it up because I now have this awesome cut file. If I get time I will seek out the link and post for you.
All I had to do was turn on the Cricut, cut the box, score on the score pal and assemble. No measuring, no hand cutting this was truly a dream, LOVE IT!
