This set was introduced during the Holiday Cardmaking Create & Connect 2023. Snow flakes are always great for Christmas and winter themed cards.</p><p>I used the new set with some of the gorgeous new inks that just released on September 29. My inks came this past Saturday. Time to get to work after organizing and entering these new beauties into Color My Life. I chose the Amalfi Coast suite of inks. Absolutely gorgeous colors.</p><p>I'll be entering this card over at the PinkFresh Studio's Anything Goes Challenge. They're giving away some gift certificates to 5 lucky winners. I can't pass that up!</p><p>Here's my card! Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBzMxI9u1IQ3gGMWqC6ePMyrUBaxTyc5_VVQSkcR7W-go42qk-sY-sd_qHtrCzjbzpwNY5Aj7d9NqvD2mqrtxo2ypU9xdeyXJf-llnYeX89qRzmg7jDgdIiSgRM5Sgzb8ZSSHIgcLr5RZ18MQCQoKP6p7-_4Rdtzf2xz4B7TJn-tkVaRV9zJTxsx8rLI/s4032/24ECF474-E1A2-44FA-8477-3FF61B5A223E.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBzMxI9u1IQ3gGMWqC6ePMyrUBaxTyc5_VVQSkcR7W-go42qk-sY-sd_qHtrCzjbzpwNY5Aj7d9NqvD2mqrtxo2ypU9xdeyXJf-llnYeX89qRzmg7jDgdIiSgRM5Sgzb8ZSSHIgcLr5RZ18MQCQoKP6p7-_4Rdtzf2xz4B7TJn-tkVaRV9zJTxsx8rLI/w300-h400/24ECF474-E1A2-44FA-8477-3FF61B5A223E.heic" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for pausing and taking a look!</div><div><br /></div><div>Many blessings!</div><div>Donna</div>Donna Oateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05432366494752059701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875113761747303650.post-86185215656127692002023-07-22T17:07:00.001-04:002023-07-22T17:07:19.463-04:00Whimsical Garden II<p> See previous post for details.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSA9Xl-nCaNzIRKhThwNGIxLAPLmq3D3XsUmzh3wHnImh_k1sFDsFYAs7Lq6Tfp3kuK1wlb_eBJxE6jiiyINTGy528Tt-ZA_F4Qbj0NhN4XQc4j-NTS-i2i1QDRtI9G4PFnTYEccnz9G8ko2c6G659lpLimiBrAC7ytFuQVY2K_8AEMCGOWJ_Uy7uh9g/s4032/Whimsical%20Blooms%20-%201.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSA9Xl-nCaNzIRKhThwNGIxLAPLmq3D3XsUmzh3wHnImh_k1sFDsFYAs7Lq6Tfp3kuK1wlb_eBJxE6jiiyINTGy528Tt-ZA_F4Qbj0NhN4XQc4j-NTS-i2i1QDRtI9G4PFnTYEccnz9G8ko2c6G659lpLimiBrAC7ytFuQVY2K_8AEMCGOWJ_Uy7uh9g/w480-h640/Whimsical%20Blooms%20-%201.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Donna Oateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05432366494752059701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875113761747303650.post-45259497120637905292023-07-22T16:55:00.000-04:002023-07-22T16:55:19.106-04:00Whimsical Garden <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAacKCtQuew6khIdA64vaG9Z5gDiR5kANW3B7usuK0RkOFa-fTFx_-zDSTJu5td9wTdRk1dS7f9aneB2cslDEZN0VOBpLWn15aT3rTbnK_0iVo7hIz4ZCRpdpTKFiOaFpgl1eh7G7mEpBZONXHQHQXyugA2M7gGHrzVo-Xyq_78Y6iY8pWRzoPRgLjJIU/s4032/Garden%20Bouquet%20-%201.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAacKCtQuew6khIdA64vaG9Z5gDiR5kANW3B7usuK0RkOFa-fTFx_-zDSTJu5td9wTdRk1dS7f9aneB2cslDEZN0VOBpLWn15aT3rTbnK_0iVo7hIz4ZCRpdpTKFiOaFpgl1eh7G7mEpBZONXHQHQXyugA2M7gGHrzVo-Xyq_78Y6iY8pWRzoPRgLjJIU/w300-h400/Garden%20Bouquet%20-%201.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I needed some birthday cards for some special people coming up soon. I also wanted to enter these 2 projects into PinkFresh Studios' monthly challenge. On the photo above I used Geo Arches Hot Foil Plate and coordinating stencils to color the background to coordinate with the new Garden Bouquet Washi tape released last month. I put some vellum over the graphic background so as not to fight with the focal image from the Washi tape. This first card used the Garden Bouquet Washi as a focal image and the 2nd card used blooms from the Whimsical Bouquet suite that I heat embossed in gold and colored with the coordinating stencils. Both are designed the same way. I love the look of the geometric image colored with the matching stencils. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All products except the vellum are PinkFresh Studio products except for the vellum which is from my stash.

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">On another note, I’m really enjoying the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background stamp set and dies. Not to mention they’ve just come out with the backer dies for their sentiment strips. Can anyone say “Thank You” to this company for the fact that they listen to their customer requests? You’ll be seeing these sentiments frequently on my cards going forward! While I don’t have the mini strips yet, I do plan on purchasing them to make my card making a breeze!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">I do want to say something about the attention to detail in this set. The green shrubbery even has a right and left side for attaching it to the house. How cool is that?! When I saw this set I immediately thought of this set as perfect for realtors to share with their clients at closing. So I’m marketing on Etsy to realtors! I’m just starting out on Etsy so we will see what kind of traffic we get. Here are the details for my card! I do recomend that you use a heavy base weight cardstock like I used here so that your card front holds up to the layers and gluing that’s needed here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">I cut out the HUGS and THANKS 3 times – once in glitter cardstock and two times in the same color cardstock as the card front to give my sentiments some dimension! It really helps the sentiment word to stand out while giving some additional texture to my card front.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> It’s finally here! The first official posting to our brand new Etsy Shop – Cotton2Craft. I’m doing this in partnership with my youngest daughter, Rebecca who curates vintage clothing for our “Cotton” side of our brand! While I do the “Craft” side! These should go up in the shop on New Year’s Eve – a big day all around since it’s my birthday as well! No info about my age will be given out at this time! But I am a grandmother so you guess! LOL<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> For the first cards for the Craft side of our shop, I wanted to put up a card that is gender neutral so I chose a stand-by for me – kraft and green which has a more woodsy feel to it while the Cherry Red ink from Gina K gives it that traditional color associated with Valentine’s Day – just around the corner! Here’s the enabler list! Big shout out though to Gina K. The Sketched Wreath Builder set was free with an order I placed during a sale earlier this month. I love this stamp set! So many possibilities! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">I continue to enjoy using Gina K Designs Wreath Builder stamp sets. This will probably be my last autumn cards (other than what I’m working on right now for the #thedailymarker30day challenge!)as I need to get going on Christmas cards. Someone on my feed is reminding her followers that it’s a bit over 50 days until Christmas! YIKES!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> While I was playing with the Autumn set I made these cards that I’m sharing here today. Even though I love red, I think the orange card if my favorite as it seems a bit brighter! Maybe I was making these cards on some of our dreary rainy days we’ve had recently. At any rate, here’s what I used to make these 3 cards!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">I’ve been playing a lot recently with these wreath builder stamps and dies from Gina K.<span> </span>It’s been such fun getting ready for the upcoming holidays!<span> </span>I decided to do something a bit different with these cards and turn them into wreaths that I cut out into circles.<span> </span>I think if makes it look more like a wreath and the largest die from my Spellbinders set worked well.<span> </span>I did trace around the circle to make a template on each 4” square so that I could stay pretty well within the circle for the wreath.<span> </span>I used all Gink K inks and cardstock for the cards I made.<span> </span>The inks stamp so beautifully.<span> </span>I only needed to stamp once to get these pretty images.<span> </span>More details are below!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">Of course, a card is not a card without a touch of bling or shine to it.<span> </span>The Nuvo products I used worked beautifully with the rest of my project to give each card that bit of sparkle!<span> </span>I also made 4.5 x 4.5 envelopes for each card from some Christmas cardstock pads that I got on sale at Michaels earlier this week – buy 1 get 2 for free!<span> </span>Now that’s a good sale!<span> </span>While the blue patterned paper was not as good of a match as the red, it had sparkles and snowflakes on it to go with the snowflakes on the wreath.<span> </span>That’s a win/win in my book!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">We have a wedding go to this weekend! Since it was kind of a last-minute thing – our invitation didn’t make it through 2 change of addresses, I was pressed for time but still wanting to make a lovely fall themed card. Summer Sunrise is one of my favorite colors that PTI has, and it’s just perfect for a fall themed card! So here is a quick and easy fall card. But this stamp set isn’t just for fall – imagine lovely bright spring greens or deep green for a spring of summer card! Love this stamp set! This set makes quick and easy look so elegant! It’s one of my favorite all time sets! All the details are below!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A family birthday is happening tomorrow so this fall themed birthday card from stamp sets from PTI’s fall release last year seemed just perfect!

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">This is now my second card in a row that I’ve put here on my blog made with Kraft cardstock! Might be a trend for me! But seriously, Kraft cardstock does give a fall vibe to the card. I kept it fairly simple design wise so that these two stamp sets would be the focus. I love them together, too! That’s it for now!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">I have two cards for you today!<span> </span>I know it’s been a while since I posted here.<span> </span>We are in our forever home here in Greer, SC at last.<span> </span>We still have some boxes to unpack but most of it is done.<span> </span>I’ve told my girls that I will not be moving again.<span> </span>This is it!<span> </span>I’m staying put and if I need to move, they will have to do it!<span> </span>We are now close to family and love being near the mountains!<span> </span>We can see them from here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">Both cards feature ink blended backgrounds using my newly acquired Taylored Expressions blender brushes!<span> </span>I love these things.<span> </span>The handles are so colorful and they lend themselves to keeping the ink colors into families just by using the handles as a guide.<span> </span>How clever is that?!?!<span> </span>Not to mentions that they blend the inks just like warm butter on hot pancakes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">My first card features the Greetery’s Botanicuts Sunflower dies and a new to me stencil company – A Colorful Life Designs that I picked up at Technique Junkies’ booth at the Stamp Scrap Art Tour (SSAT) here in Greenville, SC this past weekend!<span> </span>All the info for this card is below!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">Everywhere you look on-line having to do with papercrafting we are seeing Christmas in July. It’s still hot around here but Christmas will be here before we know it. So, I pulled out Gina K Designs Holiday Wreath Builder SS and my 4” stencil from the series and went to work. I made one card that I liked but as usual I got so involved in the stamping that I neglected to look deeper into what I wanted to do with my finished wreaths. The first one I turned out was OK but it just lacked a polished feel to it – sort of blah! But by the time I really looked at it, the glue was dry! Too late to undo what I’d already glued down. I decided to step it up and remake my basic card and add some layers and interesting background to it. The second card is the finished and much more polished result. Here are the details for my cards!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">I used a new to me product on these two cards! A while back, I won an Instagram giveaway from @jenccards. She does a lot of product intro for WOW and the prize package contained the embossing glitter listed above. I hadn’t used it much as my crafting time has gone down since our move to SC. (Things should be back to whatever normal is after we close on our new home early next month and move in by the end of August – hopefully if all the work can be done by then!) I love the results of this Embossing Glitter. It doesn’t hide the color beneath – it just adds bling to it! It really makes that sentiment I embossed pop and sparkle! Absolutely love this stuff! Thanks Jenny! I’ll try to remember to tag you when I post on Instagram with these projects!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px;"> I’ve got two cards today using new products released in July from the Greetery. These are such timeless sets that I had to have in my stash of stamps and dies! I could kick myself with the card with the Mason Jar. I forgot to use an embossing folder. Sometimes I get so involved in the layout and arranging of the images that I just leave out an element or two. I did it again with the bouquet of daisy card so I took a pen and added random dots all over the card front. Sometimes I just really wonder about myself!!! Here is my list of things I used for these two cards. I’ll also be submitting these for everyone to see for the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge that’s still going on! I did get inky fingers though which always makes me happy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> This is just a quick post for a card I made for Laurie’s Fabulous Favorites over on the Ink To Paper Company blog. The challenge is to create a card using your favorite summer flowers. I immediately thought of this oldie but goodie set because Queen Anne’s Lace is a favorite of mine and grows profusely along the roadsides here in the southeast! No brainer here as to which flower I was going to use here!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">My first card features The Greetery’s Fleur Impressions Stamps & Dies. Aren’t they lovely? I’m not good at water coloring – I need to practice more but even then, I don’t think I have the talent that Betsy does. She’s simply amazing with a brush and water colors. I’m so glad that she shares her talent with us! I wanted to really showcase these lovely blooms but I wanted texture so I turned to this Garden Gild die. It has a floral theme to it and I think it works perfectly with the Fleur Impressions’ florals. Once I figured out how to line up the stamps for layering, everything went smoothly and these blooms just blew me away! I had a fun afternoon inking up my stamps and experimenting with ink colors to layer away! But these were my favorite even though I didn’t get to the blues and blue-greens in my ink stash. I debated about sequins to give my flowers some sparkle and went with some small 4mm sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh! Just a few scattered around seemed to enhance these gorgeous blooms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">I’m entering this card over on the Papertrey Ink Blog for Laurie’s Fabulous Favorites. This week’s favorites were to use your favorite card layout and create a card. I choose florals and a simple tone on tone background. I did flip the placement of the flowers from the top left to lower right to let the intricacy of the Garden Gild cover plate shine thru. It is so gorgeous don’t you think? It perfectly sets of those lovely blooms! I think it was the right choice!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">My second card features the Fir & Foliage #1 suite of products! They are awesome. I first stenciled the Cobblestone Path using Stormy Sea ink to give it the look of a flag stone walk way. The two-step stencil was easy to use and it comes with a mask to ink blend around it to make a scene with the walk way going off into the distance. Love this! I stamped the trees from the stamp set and cut them out placing them so that they give depth to my scene and used the Comforting Commands stamp and die set to give my scene a peaceful and thoughtful tone. Love the matching dies to each of the four big sentiments. I finished off my card front with some floral sequins in the grassy areas to add a touch of whimsy! Besides there are often flowers popping up in grassy areas, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;"> All this to say, that I’m using this card for an entry into Papertrey Ink’s Win It Wednesday with Laurie’s Fabulous Favorites. This week was to make a shaped card using your favorite shape. To be truthful, I don’t make very many shaped cards, but I do have this precious little granddaughter who just happens to love unicorns so when this die set was released, it was a must have! These Potbellies are designed by Betsy Veldman who has since left PTI and has started her own company called The Greetery! Go check her out! Her first release happened this past Friday, and it was a huge success!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">For the card, I cut out the pieces to make my unicorn, assembled it, and then glued it to a Harvest Gold die cut as the card base using the unicorn die. I added some glitter to her hoofs and some Wink of Stella elsewhere to make her glow. I die cut the Heart word die from the Gina K set three times to stack it for some dimension to my little unicorn. Such a cute little thing, don’t you think? While Malin can’t read her cards I send her, when she’s older she will be able to look back and see that her Nanny was thinking about her a lot from the cards I’ve made and sent her way! I just love her so much! I love being her Nanny!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">With Mother’s Day coming up soon while we are getting ready to move to another state, I’m ahead of where I usually am by getting this one knocked out early.</span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">I played for most of an afternoon with ink and made daffodils in yellow, blue, purple and blue-green tones but I went to my stand by combo of blue and yellow for this card.</span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 11pt;"> I'm also playing along the the Color Throwdown #540 challenge this week with this card. I don't think that I've done this challenge before but there's a first time for every challenge, right?</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.866666793823242px;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> I found the layering of these Altenew daffodils easy to line up until I got to the centers of them. I played with the centers as I went along and still found them hard to line up. It was a bit frustrating but the results are still more than adequate and actually quite lovely. I do find Altenew’s way of releasing their inks in families that work together make the layering much easier than most other stamp companies. The yellow bloom is done with Altenew Inks and the blue with Papertrey Ink. The shopping details for my card are below.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">I was looking for texture in the background and experimented with another cover plate. The Bold Borders: Prism Die worked out the best for arranging the blooms and sentiment on the card front. I finished off my card with some sequins and Wink of Stella to the leaves. I just love a little bit of sparkle on my cards! With Wink of Stella, I’m even able to get away with sparkle on cards for the men in my life! LOL <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful week and Happy Monday. FYI, I just started packing for a move from NC to Greenville, SC at the end of next month. I might not be as visible around my blog after I get Mother’s Day cards out of the way. It’s going to be a challenge to decide what goes into storage and what stays with me from my craftroom while we live in an apartment for a few months while our home in High Point sells, and we find the perfect home to buy in Greenville. I’m just looking forward to it all being over! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am putting words of encouragement - often featuring scripture - on the back of my cards as an encouragement for those who receive these cards.

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> We have a big occasion coming up in our family this month! Our only grandchild turns 4! She is such a delight and loves to color and spends time just about daily coloring and drawing. I wonder where she gets her love of color. LOL!! I can’t wait to get moved next month so I can share some of my crafting time with her! Especially as she gets older! For now, we limit her coloring tools to things that are not permanent! But as she gets older, who knows!?!?!?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;">You may notice that one of my tools I used is Picket Fence Studio’s Life Changing Blender Brushes. The verdict is in! I love them. I’ve used sponge daubers for backgrounds and they’ve been ok, but these really are a game changer. They are easier to use and really make blending inks on cardstock quick and easy. As I play with them more, I’m sure that I will be using them a lot more often. They blended well on Papertrey Ink’s Stamper’s Select white cardstock. It has a nice smooth finish and is a good heave weight cardstock. To add dimention without taking away from my beautiful background, I used my new Honey Bee Stamps A2 Scallop Honey Cuts to pop up the center and use the rest of the A2 size panel to frame it. Perfect outcome if I do say so myself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
