FLLC Glass Candle Holders & How To ( Reloaded)

*ETA* For some reason this post wasn't showing the pictures. I deleted it and reposted it I hope it works now:) Sorry for the double post for those who are google reader.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there! Yesterday I stamped on a mug and thought to myself this background would be so cool on glass. So I ran to Walmart and found these cute glass candle holders the triangle one was .97 cents the rounded square one was $1.23. I used stazon to stamp the background. I had a lot of questions and emails asking how I stamped on the mug so I took a picture to show you. I hope that helps! Just remember to apply a lot of pressure so the ink makes good contact. If you are using craft ink the stamp will slide and will get muddy looking if you press to hard. With the Stazon ink on the glass you need to work super fast because the ink dries fast. I cleaned my stamp with hot water and soap between stamping each side.
You can find this awesome Damask background stamp at Flourishes LLC

Fantasy Floral Surprise! Are U Ready? ( Tutorial)

Hi there! What a exciting day Flourishes LLC will be releasing it's first background stamps! I have a little sneak peek for you as well as a new use for the large flower in the Fantasy Floral Garden Set. Are you ready?

1. Start by stamping the large flower with Jet Black Stazon ink (you will need four flowers).

2. Cut,trim and color the flowers as shown. I used Stampin' Up! Marker's ( Mellow Moss, Cameo Coral). I used a black sharpie to go around the edges and to make the tips darker.

3. Punch a circle out of black cardstock using the 1-1/4" punch. ( Stampin' Up! )



4. Arrange the four flowers as shown and adhere to the black circle. * See the finished card below for the placement of the flowers* Sorry I forgot to put it in the picture!
5. Use a decorative brad for the center.

The background for this card was made using the " New" Positive and Negative Damask Background stamps from Flourishes LLC. I Just love these backgrounds! I softened the edges with a sponge and cameo ink. So what did the finished card look like?



There's more! the sentiment is new also. I love the font and the fact it's larger than all other Flourishes words! Can you stand it? I'm trying hard to keep it together at this point to show you the compianion gable box I made with the card to match.


Now adjust your eyes...a different color and design same background stamp! for this card. I stamped both the positive and negative and punched them using the 1-1/4 square punch for the background. Layered on black cardstock.


Thank you so much for stopping by!

FLLC Hidden Kiss

Good Morning! Well after a much needed stampin break my mojo is back:) I'm just thrilled with the out come of this project. I stamped the heart and embossed it with silver. I did DTP using chalk ink. I cut the heart out and used a black sharpie around the edges. I wanted a little pocket to hold a couple of Hershey Kisses so I messed around with the idea until I came up with this. The words are stamped on Shrinky Dink using Black stazon. The words in the set are much larger. This set is from Flourishes LLC it's called Lace Heart. I took a couple of pictures to show you what the heart looked like before putting it on my card. I stamped the tissue using the reindeer from Flourished Christmas. I placed one Hershey Kiss inside:)

Sharon's no layer challenge & LSC146

Good Morning! Sharon posted a challenge on her blog to make no layer cards. This has always been a challenge for me so I thought I would give it a shot. Lucky for me my new stamp set Lace Hearts arrived yesterday! The card is pretty basic no layers, white card base. Black and red ink only. The scallop along the bottom was made using the heart in the set. I only inked part of the top of the heart. For the limited supply challenge on SCS you could use layers but had to use white as your card base. So this works for that as well.
Thanks for stopping by!

CPS42 Fantasy Floral

Good Morning! Well I'm so excited! I had happy mail my Flourishes stamps arrived. This is the card I made for the CPS42 featuring Fantasy Floral Garden by Flourishes LLC. I wanted this to look aged so I used distress ink while the stamped images were still wet so it would smear. I also shadow stamped the images. I used a scallop punch and overlaped the artichoke ones so my main image would stand out. I apologize for the bad photo the sheer ribbon placed on the very edge made this hard to crop.
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day:)

Flourished Christmas CPS42

Good Morning! Flourishes will be the feature company on the CPS blog this week. The sketch is wonderful! The featured stamp set is Fantasy Floral I don't have it yet but I really wanted to play:) So I pulled out my Flourished Christmas set and decided I would make a black and white Christmas card. The large panel uses the antlers only from the reindeer. I used tape to mask off the face and body of the reindeer and just repeated the process until I was happy with the result. If you have this set you really should try this I love the way it turned out, I hope you do to.
I know it seems I've been MIA but I've been working hard making gifts and cards for Christmas. You've seen most of what I've been making. I hope to have some new things to share with you in the next few days.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
