Hanging Sign/Layout

Hi everyone, I created this project this past weekend for KARLAS001 Etsy. It's a hanging sign that can be used as a layout as well. The base is made from Melissa Francis, it's a bracket chipboard shape. The lovely paper collection I used is Basic Grey Kissing Booth.

I incorporated lots of KARLAS001 Etsy items. I created this video showing the beginning process of the sign and I show which products were used.

Thanks for taking the time to look. Have a great day!

Damask Mason Jar

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start. For my I Am Roses project today I altered this mason jar and mini card. On the mini card I added three Small White Semi Open Rose Buds, tied a bow with jute and added a pearl embellishment.

I used a Damask mask from Heidi Swap. I laid it on the front of the jar and stippled some white acrylic paint over the mask. While the paint was still wet, I peeled off the mask and just let it air dry. I wrapped jute rope on the rim of the jar and adhered it with some hot glue. The newest craze going around YouTube are these flat back pearls paired with ribbon buckles. They make the cutest embellishment. I created a double bow with the jute rope and place the pearl embellishment on top.

The jar is filled with gorgeous I Am Roses flowers: White & Pink Semi Puffy Rose Buds and this Big White Gardenia. I also filled it up with some brown shredded paper. For a closer look of this project, you can view the video here. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Simply Anya - Love

Hi everyone. I created this card using the new TGF Simply Anya stamp. I chose a variety of flowers from I Am Roses. The image is colored with Copic markers. I framed her out using the Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs Die. The paper collection is Union Square from Recollections.

I used different sizes of roses, from the 1/2" White Paper Roses to the 3/4" Red Paper Roses. I added some White Semi Open Rose Buds along with a Small White Crochet Flower .

I love how she turned out. Don't forget over at the I Am Roses YouTube Channel: iamrosesdt, there is a contest "Love Is In the Air" going on until Feb. 10th. Go check it out, there is still time to participate.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

You Make My Heart Flutter - Simple Stamping

Hello Thursday! I wanted to share my post as the January Guest Designer over at The Greeting Farm Blog. Today's cards are created using the Flutter Heart Clear Stamp Set. Each image in this set is so versatile and can really stand on their own without all the bells & whistles of embellishments. It's crazy to think that all those flowers, ribbon or bling we like to collect are not needed............WRONG! Hahaha. BUT it can be done.

My first card uses the sentiment "BOY meets GIRL...", adorable! To finish the phrase I just added some mini heart stickers at the tail end. Stamped inside of the card is this cute couple in the set. It may be difficult to see but I did add a tiny heart sticker on the girl's dress.

In this second card, I used the "Love" banner and the lined hearts. I couldn't resist adding glitter, so I punched a scallop border across the bottom and laid red glitter paper underneath. The heart is also colored in with some Stickles in Xmas Red.

Did I mention that the couple image is cute? Well I had to use it again in this 3x3 card. I fussy cut the "Joy" scallop banner, popped it up (not too much so you can still mail it) and used it as a base for the couple. For more sparkle, I added more of that red glitter paper.

Okay one last card I promise. I couldn't resist using the Miss Anya Garland stamp, so I gave her some puffy hearts as wings and added her just below the lined heart background that I created. Right at the bottom corner I stamped the "You Make My Heart Flutter" sentiment.

I had a blast making these cards using the current new releases. Thank you so much for welcoming me with open arms this month.

Have a great day!

Jo

IAR "Love Is In the Air" YouTube Contest

Yay I'm so excited to announce our first I Am Roses YouTube Contest of the year! Check out all the details at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog or go directly to the IAR YouTube Channel for the Contest Video.

Here is the project that I created for this contest. They are some Valentine treat cups. I got some peat moss cups from my .99 Cent Store and altered them. I sprayed the containers with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starbursts in Dark Chocolate Truffle and Poinciana Red Flame.

I had some cellophane bags and filled them up with some chocolates. The paper collection I used is from Recollections Union Square. I used some some punches and nesting dies to create the embellishment. A cluster of I Am Roses flowers add the final detail.

I hope you guys participate in this YouTube Contest for a chance to win some beautiful I Am Roses flowers.

Good Luck!

Copic Video: Miss Anya Garland #1

Happy Wednesday! Yes I know you've seen this card before, I blogged about this card already (post here) announcing my January Guest Designer Spot for The Greeting Farm. Well it's been a while since I did a Copic video of me coloring images. So I decided to do one for this particular image (Miss Anya Garland).

Now I am not a Certified Copic Instructor, this being said, I just like to show my way of coloring with these Copic markers. I keep it pretty simple and not too fancy =)

I hope to do more Copic videos of my upcoming TGF projects. So please go to my YouTube Channel Paperdrama and SUBSCRIBE, I might not always have time to do a blog post but you can be kept up to date on my videos there. Hope you enjoyed!

Shabby Tussie Mussie

This was a 2011 Christmas project that I created and just now posting, better late than never. It's an altered cone or tussie mussie. It's actually great for any occasion. This was so much fun to create and embellish. I just love the trims that were used from KARLAS001 Etsy store.

I intertwined some green leaf trim with the ruffled Delicate Cream Trim. Several laces were layered on top of each other. The 4mm Mini White Flat Back Pearl Trim was wrapped around the top of the cone for added detail.

This flower was created using single rosettes taken from a trim. I go in detail about the project and also I do a quick flower tutorial at the tail end of the video.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by!
