Aloha - I Am Roses June Challenge

Hi everyone! Today a new challenge is up at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog. 

Welcome back to my blog, it's been a while and I have a project for you! Here I created a card using an image/sentiment from The Greeting Farm stamps. This was an image that I had colored previously and she went well with the papers that I wanted to work with. These digital papers are from Mindy Terasawa Designs. I love the navy and peach color combo.

I framed her out using a doily die and flowers from I Am Roses. I chose a deep navy colored flower (S15) and a small crochet flower, centered with a peach/gold gem. The mini lilies are a perfect peach color (LY3) and accented with white flowers (S10).
Thanks for stopping by and come join our challenge over at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog for amazing prizes.

IAR 2018 Holiday Blog Hop

WELCOME! to the I Am Roses 2018 Holiday Blog Hop. 

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying the hop so far. Today I made Holiday Name Place Cards.

These are very easy to make. I cut black cardstock at 5" x 5 1/4", score at 2 5/8" on the 5 1/4" side. I used a white gel pen to doodle the border and write the "name". 

I used a wired leaf garland some jute rope to create the mini wreathes. I used a variety of red IAR flowers and some small daisy leaves. I adhered everything with hot glue.

You can view a video of me creating one of these place cards over on my YouTube Channel: Paperdrama.

I Put A Spell On You

Hello, it's me again. Halloween is just around the corner and I decided to make this card. All images were colored with Copic markers. The main images are from Squad Ghouls (Sweet Stamp Shop), as well as Dragon and Happy Accidents (Sweet Art Society October Art Box). The background was created with Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks. I made a previous card from this stamp set here.

This time around, I only used one witch from the trio, the cauldron and the spell book.

Happy Accidents

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted but here I am sharing this shaker card. The images are from a stamp set called Happy Accidents and it is from my Sweet Art Society subscription box. Every month you will receive an exclusive stamp set that will not be available anywhere else. Besides the stamp set, you will be sent a high quality sample of an art medium to try out. This particular stamp set is from the October sub box.

This "Bob Ross" inspired set is fabulous. How many of you grew up with "Happy Trees"? The images are colored with Copic markers. I tried to recreate the canvas scene. Of course I had to go the shaker card route. I can't help it, gotta use those sequins. How perfect is it that I actually had tree sequins?

It's Ok To Be Magical

Hi everyone. I wanted to share this card featuring the Sweet Stamp Shop - Explore the Sea. I was able to snag this stamp set in a bundle for a really amazing deal. I knew I wanted to make a shaker card. The images are colored with Copic markers. For added sparkle I used Star Dust Stickles. I put together my own sequin mix for the shaker element.
