Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial

I'm so excited to let you know that my rolled paper flowers tutorial is now available! I wrote it for the Splitcoast Stampers weekly tutorial, and you can find it over HERE.

You'll of course see a bit of my new favorite, Die-namic Jumbo Scallop in felt on the front of this card. I'm not usually a fan of purple and plum, but let me say I love this paper! Its more of the My Minds Eye Quite Contrary line (and yes, I'm totally obsessed with this paper!) Everything is matted with Hot Fudge cardstock, and I used an ivory cardbase. I love the pop of contrast on this color combination, and I'm guessing I'll give it another whirl soon!

The sentiment is from the Clearly Sentimental line at MFT, "Clearly Sentimental about Mothers." Kim at MFT is actually selling Felt and Cork now for your projects, and you'll just love the fun color assortments that she's put together. You can find the felt here and the cork here.

This is the card that I gave to my mother for Mother's Day, and let me say that it just BARELY fit int an envelope. Giggle. So, if you like to make practical, mailable cards, this might just not be the technique for you. HA! But it sure did make for a pretty card!

In this Together....

Good morning!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My husband finally returned from a marathon business trip from Japan, and we took the boys out to go pick apples. YUM! And the event was full of lots of wonderful photo opportunities!

Since I didn't get any time to stamp anything brandy new, today I'm sharing one of Stamping Bella creations that I added to the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen Gallery.

My Dirty Dozen creations are some of my very most favorite projects, so I hope to share some of them from time to time.

The most recent gallery "Winged Things" opened up on the 15th, if you're a Fan Club member, be sure to go leave those girls some love. If you're NOT a Fan Club member, all I can say is what are you waiting for? I just love that place, I have SCS to thank for SO much, inspiration, friendship and yes, purchase enabling too!

This uses some designer paper that was one of my very FIRST stampy purchases, which I kept scraps of for two years, just in case (you do that too right?)

I made this card with my friend Carole in mind, we overlapped on the Dirty Dozen for one month, and she's a Bellahollic like me. She's also my sister in all things preppy! Lots of littles here this morning, its me and five two and three year olds, they're now bored with their little art activity. I'm going to down the rest of my coffee and go PLAY!

Have a wonderful day!
