Theodore & Bella

Pion's "Theodore and Bella" collection was one of the cutest ever!  Just the perfect papers to have on hand for a little kids birthday, a baby card and or just a sweet card for anyone really.  The borders 12 x 12 have the "Love You to the Moon and Back" sentiment and a few other great ones.  


Here is my usual bouquet of flowers using a gorgeous pixie bloom, open roses and a glass strawberry.   If you've been following me you'll know those are one of my favorite little additions.  I used some chipboard from Scrapiniec's "Fantasma Frames and Borders" and cut one of the pieces up to use throughout the card.  I even colored them with a TH dauber.  


See the straw colored threads underneath?  That's called sisal.  I've never seen or heard of it before but I'm likin' it!   Again some more Scrapiniec chipboard, amazing flowers and a pretty vintage filigree button. Another one of those ones that you just want to hoard.  LOL!


A friend's daughter just had twins so this card is going to her.  Yup that kind of holds a special place in my heart as most of you know that I am one.  😊  It's a boy and a girl and I love when that happens to people.  
INSTA-FAMILY!  LOL!

Enjoy your weekend!
Hugs,

Whimsy - Hold You Close

Well I felt a little whimsical, which I suppose is perfect since I'm using a Whimsy stamp.  hee hee  Isn't she cute?!  This image is called "Hold You Close" and I paired her up with Studio Light's #49 paper pad.  The gorgeous dragonfly is from Wycinanka and the little fence is from Scrapiniec "Mama's Porch Windows".  I used a rather bold color to paint the fence with (jury is still out on that one - LOL) and then added a cute little ladybug charm from the store to crawl around on it.  


Here's one of my peony Foamiran flowers with a few WOC flowers and a silver birch bark heart painted with gesso to shabby it up. 


And a second view of the peony flower.  😀


Another little bouquet with all kinds of pieces from the shop including some wax cord.  I may have mentioned this before but I have to say, it's really nice to shape.  Oh did you like the straw I used too?  Those are fun to use!  


Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you have a great week!

Hugs!

Send Me Flowers

Have you seen some of the Dreamlander stamps?  Oh MY!!  They are sooooo cute!!  I could just squish this little fellow with tons of hugs!!  😍  I've paired the image up with Pion's "Where the Roses Grow" and added all kinds of goodies I'll tell you more about.  It's pretty rare I actually make a card without using a die so here I've used two Joy dies "Edge Die w/Impellers" and "Floral Circle Hexagon" die".  They look awesome together (IMHO)!  


I've had this Scrapiniec "Grapevine 2 Hearts" in my stash for a bit because again...I was hoarding them.  😁  Then I gave myself a kick in the pants and decided it was time to part with it but it really is the perfect addition to the card so I'm "ok" with letting it go.  LOL!!!  If you're wondering...yes, I do laugh at myself.  hee hee


Oh I really like this part of the card.  I've added a variety of flowers from the shop and topped it with that gorgeous "Bernadette" pearl button.  Sigh...yup you guessed it!  Another piece I was hoarding!  LOL!!  Again I have lightly painted a wooden heart with gesso and added a seam binding bow.  I took a piece from Scrapiniec's "Lily of the Valley"decor and cut it up to add some pretty chipboard stems in a few places to finish it off.  


These wooden heart clothespins are stunners too.  Added a little sentiment to it taken from Pion's "Borders" sheet and then again a few extra flowers.  Do you think there's really such a thing as TOO many flowers?  NEVAH!!  😂


Thanks so much for stopping by again.  Love to see you come back to peek!  It's very much appreciated!!  

Enjoy the weekend and sneak in some crafty time if you can.  It's just so darn good for you!  hee hee

Hugs!
