How Beautiful a Day!

 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I have a special card I made while crafting with my nieces last night. My card was created using I Brake for Stamps "How Beautiful a Day" stamp. Love this sentiment, its gorgeous!


I started with stamping it in black ink, and then airbrushing around it in pink and blue. Next I layered it on pink and red card stock. Shaelynn wanted to add some little flowers to the sentiment area, so her and I pick out the 3 little flowers. Then I made the bow, and Shaelynn picked out the red button in the center for the bow.

I used some Valentines design paper, and some red ribbon , that we both chose together.

 I so enjoyed making my card to share today, and hope you enjoyed it too!

Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to you all!
I'm writing this while in bed sick with the flu, its been 4 days now, and hubby and I are both sick :(  not fun!!!

Anyways I am super excited to share this DARLING tag created using lots of sweet goodies, and the sweet stamp called "Wrap Love" from I Brake For Stamps..

 The base layers of my tag are created using all Cheery Lynn dies. Next I stamped my sentiment from I Brake For stamps in black ink, and then hot glued the rhinestone flower to the center of the O, trying to keep with the pink and flower theme going on here.

Next to start the cluster of flowers and ribbon, I started with the 1/8" striped ribbon, glued it down, and then my looped bow made out of the DARLING Really Reasonable Ribbon "Hearts & Bows on pink pearl satin"  . After that I glued down the brown leaves, and some branches, and then the rose, and other flowers. I really had a lot of fun creating this fun tag, and will add it to a birthday gift, I think I know just the one.

 This could even be a card, if glued to a card base, but I already know who's gift its going on :)

I hope you enjoyed my post for today!! Thank you for looking and have a lovely week!!

A Christmas Kiss

 Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday!!
Today I have another Tag I created for gifts this year. On this tag I used I Brake For Stamps "A Christmas Kiss" stamp, and colored it with copic markers. I figured why not make my own. So I have been busy creating for at least 1 gift per person. I think these will be darling on the packages :) These tags are pretty big, most measure about 4 3/4" x 5" I think this one is 4 3/4" x 4 3/4".

 I love this sweet image, I thought it was too cute! I did enjoy coloring it up and then added some stickles for the glitz on this one. I Brake for Stamps has soooo many darling Christmas stamps, it makes me want them all....hehehehehe

I used all die cuts for cutting out my layers, and then added a sticker for the Merry Christmas, but I did punch it out with SU! punches. The Poinsettia is cheery lynn, and the little gems are studio calico. I added some ribbons and then some glitter. Super fun and easy to make tags. So far I think I have made 6 different big tags :) and I still have more to make :)

Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely day!!

A Hug for Rudolph tag

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all!
I have to say this was a super fun tag to create using the DARLING I Brake For Stamps image called "A Hug for Rudolph". What a super cute stamp this is! I had fun coloring it up using copics and then some stickles for some glitz.

Tag was super easy to to make. I cut out all my die pieces and used foam tabs to pop them up. Next I stamped my image on white card stock and then cut it out using a cheery lynn circle die, and then airbrushed,a nd colored it up. My bow was created and then hot glued on along with the poinsettia sticker embellishment. I wanted a quick tag as we were getting ready to head out of town :) And this one I think turned out super sweet!!!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today!! Thank you for stopping by, and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I Brake for Harvest Time & Shy Bears!



Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Cheryl here with a super fun Harvest card I created for I Brake for Stamps. I chose for this card to use this DARLING "Harvest Shy Bear", isn't he just too cute??!!!! I LOVE these bears, and I Brake for stamps has a large collection of them.


I love this time of year, as all the leaves on the trees are changing and of course now we are loosing them all, but  it looks so beautiful. I hate to see it all leave, then we will have ugly upon us until snow comes. I have to say though summer is my favorite, and then Fall! So when I colored him up (Harvest Shy Bear)I chose to use some fall colors and then some blue. I LOVE the blue on this one! The paper line I chose for this is an old one called Autumn Harvest by Bazzill.

 I also added a tad bit of stickles to the leaves as I wanted some glitz to my image.

I also made a BIG bow for my card using leftover ribbons :) I did add a cabochon to the center of my bow.

To see all the DARLING shy bears that I Brake for Stamps has, please visit here! 

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you for stopping by!

I Brake for Love Peace and Joy

 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I have a card created for I Brake For Stamps using this beautiful sentiment called "Love ,Peace , Joy" I love how fancy the writing is on this stamp, he script is absolutely gorgeous!

 I stamped my Beautiful sentiment image LOVE PEACE JOY in tim holtz distressed ink Black Soot, using the Mini Misti tool. I can stress enough how easy and fun this makes stamping. I always get a nice dark image this way. I normally have un-mounted rubber, so this makes it so easy to do. Just had to share :)

The papers I used are from the DCWV Tis the Season Stack, this stack is huge and has tons of patterns in it, I have had this for a long time now. the fancy edge layer is a punch around the page, and then the frame at the top and bottom of the sentiment is a cut die piece that I had laying around :) I just cut it in half. I added sewing in pink, pink flowers cut from the same coordinating dp, and then some blue seam binding. Super fun!!!

Thank you for looking and hope you have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,

I Brake for Stamps Fall Stamps were stamped in tim holtz distress ink black soot, and then colored with copics YR16,YR68 , YG05 YG13, and E31 I then fussy cut them out.

Next the Oh Bountiful Season was stamped again in Black Soot, and then cut out. I dusted with Black soot, and spiced marmalade distressed inks. I used the Judikins dusters to do this.
