Happy Halloween

This is definitely one of my absolute favorites.  I saw this stamp at my local scrapbook store & just had to have it!  The store even had a card displayed using flower soft for the mummies legs.  I knew at that moment I had to make one with my own spin.  It is such a simple card but I just love it!  I used my copics to color the image, some spica pens to add a touch of glitz to the witch & then added the new ultra fine white flower soft to the mummies legs.  My favorite uses of flower soft are always the not so obvious.  I ended up giving this to one of our great friends for her birthday this weekend.  She loves halloween as much as I do so I almost always tie her birthday in with the holiday.

Hope you all have a Happy & Safe Halloween!

Flower Soft Blog Hop - All That Glitters

For today's Flower Soft Blog Hop we were to create something glittery with one of the new Diamond Range Colors.  For my card I used the Diamond Range Silver.  I decided to go all mono chromatic when I found this great paper by My Mind's Eye & Ribbon by Ribbon Trends.  Not typically my style but I think it turned out pretty good.  Besides, who doesn't love sparkles & bling?!? 

We will be giving away a jar of this fabulous Diamond Range Silver along with one of Diamond Range Ruby & one of the Diamond Range Emerald. So please follow the Blog Hop all the way to the end and  leave a comment on any or all of  the blogs to be entered into the drawing to win these 3 fabulous new colors.

Thanks for looking & now to continue the hop click here to see Vicki's creation.

FSC38 Black & Orange Challenge

First, I would like to say how happy I am to join the Flower Soft Design Team.  This is going to be so much fun!  Some of you may already know that I actually work in the office @ Flower Soft.  I may have even met you this past summer @ CHA.  I have also been a card maker for around 15 years, which is how I initially found Flower Soft.  I purchased my first jar @ a local show & have been a loyal fan ever since.  So now on to my first official challenge.   For today's Flower Soft challenge we were to use Black & Orange in our project.  Oh my gosh, I can't tell you how excited that made me.  I love, love, love  Halloween & all the decorations that go along with this time of year.  Fall is my absolute favorite season.  For my card I decided to use Flower Soft Ultra Fine Black to accent my cat.  I just love the effect this has & how it really makes him look "fuzzy".  It also helps showcase how Flower Soft can be used in so many more ways than just for flowers.  Don't get me wrong, I love flowers.  But sometimes it's fun to try something out of the "norm".  Please be sure to check out the other design team members @ The Flower Soft Blog.  Hope you enjoy & happy fall to all!

Wildflowers for Papertrix

Yesterday I spent my day driving to Nashville Indiana to a fabulous little store called Papertrix to do make & takes.  If you are ever in Nashville it is a must see.  You just wont believe how many fabulous things they have in this little space.  Not only did I get to meet the ever so kind store owners, Cindy & Wayne but also many enthusiastic customers.  It was the perfect fall day.  A bit chilly in the morning, warmer in the afternoon, sunny all day & gorgeous changing leaves all around.  The store door was open all day & the flow of people was constant.  For our make & take we used the Die Cut Dimensions Wild Flowers & Wild Flowers Series 2 by Flower Soft.  Here is the sample I made for inspiration.  Oh how I wish I had photos of all the beautiful variations that were created yesterday.  So many talented people!

Bridal Shower Card

Here is a card I just made for a friend's bridal shower.  I just love the dress made from a spellbinders scallop circle die. 

 I also embossed the circle with an embossing folder for extra texture. 

A very simple card yet elegant I think.  Hope she likes it!
