Friendship is precious

Hello there, crafting friends...

Sheerah recently came and stayed a weekend in conjunction with a business trip and she brought me this beautifully packaged lovely hand made book.

Here is the hand made book mark:

Hand bound book, too ...

Hand made card and hand made flower detail.

Thank you Sheerah... Thank you all for peeking.

Spring Fever

Hello there, crafting friends...

I hope your weekend is relaxing :)

I saw this latest FTL 181 sketch over at the Clean and Simple Stamping blog and thought, what a cute sketch and trendy, too!

 

So, of course I gotta play along.

I was just breaking open a new Simply Scrappin' kit called Spring Fever that is in the Occasions Mini Catalog, which comes with this happy color combo of Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight.

Quick and simple, here is my version:

The pink blings are from Designer Printed Kit Blossom Builders, sentiment is from Delightful Dozen stamp set.

Sweet Shop

Hello, hello crafting friends.. !!

Now, Sweet Shop is such a sweet title, isn't it? This refers to a product suite in the Occasions Mini catalog that feature a cupcake and sweets themed designer series paper and matching stickers.

Here they are, they look so yummy and happy!! This is another one that makes me super happy to look at these after I finish making them :)

I love that cupcake backgraound paper and I added a little pink button from the Twitterpatted Designer Buttons pack.

What a happy color combo, too :) The sentiment comes from Up, Up and Away stamp set. Lucky Limeade baker's twine and Basic Rhinestones finish these up. They are the perfect kind of embellishments because they go with everything.

Thank you for letting me share.

Happy stamping,

Liza

Mixed Bunch trio

Hi there, crafting friends ... I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far :)

Here are a trio of cards that I made with bits and pieces of my left over Mixed Bunch home made patterned paper (they are so precious that I saved them) .. (smile)...

This one is decorated with the matching Blossom Punch. I stamped the flower image from Mixed Bunch stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a piece of Blushing Bride card stock and punched it out.

That cutie little blue button is from a button pack called Twitterpatted (in the Occasions Mini catalog), while the sentiment is from a free Sale a Bration stamp set called Elementary Elegance.

Here is my last of the trio which is finished off with a Concord Crush ribbon and sentiment in the same ink color.

Thank you for stopping by. Happy stamping to you.

Mixed Bunch

 Happy March, crafting friends... :) My, it is already March!!

Did you see my new home made patterned paper above? I don't know about you, but I am always super excited when I see the results of a stamped out DIY patterned paper. This one comes from a new stamp set in the Occasions Mini catalog called Mixed Bunch and oh my, I love this color combo of Concord Crush, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo. So vibrant and happy. Yay!! 

It was created on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

Here is one of the cards I made with it, cut up and mounted on a Concord Crush card base. I added Dazzling Details glitter on the flower center, if you can see it from the photo.

Just simply finished it off with Calypso Coral baker's twine and a pearl on the sentiment.

Hope you like it and thanks for letting me share.

Happy stamping...

Blossom Builders

Hello stampers,

I have not been playing along in the FTL sketch- so... I am happy that I can do that today :) Here is the current one FTL179.

I have just gotten this package of beautiful flower embellishments called Blossom Builders (in the Occasions Mini Catalog).

As you can see, I assembled these together into my own unique flowers. I like to do that sometimes, making my own pre made embellishments - ready to go on my desk.

Here is my take on the sketch:

The little pink gems come with the Blossom Builders pack. I added Pool Party twine to finish it off.

Thank you for letting me share,

Happy stamping,

Liza

Happy Mail day :)

Good afternoon...

Have you had one of those Happy Mail day lately? Something in the mail that brought a big smile ... I just had one last week and it came in the shape of these colorful fabric tapes. All the way from Beijing where my dear friend/ fellow crafter Coline lives. Aren't these the yummiest things? Thank you so much, Coline!!

These are what I came up with so far :) So fun :)

This stamp image reminds me of my son and daughter :) Perfect to have in my stash.

Thank you for peeking...
