My image for this week is image #2:
a Peach.
 (I wanted to make it very simple. 
I want beginners in the hobby not to feel they have to "super do it" to make a beautiful card).


Loving you is easy peasy!

 Isn't the paper gorgeous? 

It is from K&Co BW Mira Designer Mat Pad.
(I do own a lot of K&Co since I really like it, cuts well with my Cricut Expression and is locally available). 
The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper clear stamp set called Fruit and Veggie Puns.

The peach was cut at 2 inches. 
 The small mat I adhered the peach to, is a shape from the cricut cart "All Mixed up". I popped up the leave layer and covered it with Lime Green Stickles (glitter glue). The ric rac ribbon is from my supplies. I also added some soft shimmer to the front layer with my Yasutomo Pearlescent Watercolor Set.

These are a bunch of talented ladies here.
What do you think?


Serenade

  can be a bit problematic with some of its images when you are assigned just one image to work with and, these ladies did an outstanding job, in my opinion.


Hopefully you enjoyed this series part 1 
and come back 
next Wednesday 
when we will be showcasing round two.


Hugs to all!

U R The Apple of my Eye

Hello all

ETA: hovering not working :(

On this post I am trying something new I found on the web so please be patient with me while I learn the whole process. I am not computer savvy :( and it does takes me a while to comprehend the instructions and details of it.

  If you hover over the photo(s) you are going to find some small white dots and those little white dots will give you some information on my projects. It is a bit time consuming for me so far but, I hope it does get easier with practice :)

U R The Apple of my Eye card

5 by  inch card

 (The only photo with the tags is this first one)

How did you like the hovering?  

:) 

Fun, uh? 

hehehe

***

The U R letters are stickers from Making Memories.

The scroll is from Give a Hoot.

All the dots (they are beautiful in real life) were made with a Gelly Roll Sakura pen called Clear Star and it is like glitter...soft  glitter if I can call it that.

On this photo above I want you to notice the texture on the apple stem. It was done with...
this

 I believe I bought it at Joann's in a pack of six. It is a fabric marker made by Marvy Uchida. I love this brown color texture but so far that is the only color I have tried. What you do is  you heat the ink/paint with your heat tool and voila.

Also, in the background you might notice two black with red objects hehe. Those are the stamps I bought from Eileen's Ebay Store. You can win one of her stamps if you win the Sweet Pagoda challenge. These ones are self inking and very pretty to look at too, lol.

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's post and the new Tag Tool I played with.
Hugs to All!

HAVE A GRAPE DAY! CARD

Have a GRAPE Day!

4.25 by 5.5 inch

 This is a sneak peek preview of the soon to be released  new set of clear stamps from Robyn called

Fruit and Veggies Puns. 

You can soon order them by clicking on

MPS PRODUCT PAGE.

I used the Preserves cricut cartridge on this card and I cut the grapes at 4.25 inch high. I added some dimensions to the leaves and some stickles for the bling. It is just a simple card but it's beautiful in real life. The photo doesn't give it the justice it deserves. LOL

******************

and...you all know my son will be a senior this year and it's time to start looking at some universities. We went to Villanova and Temple Universities yesterday. They both are located in Philadelphia.

We will continue to visit more since he has a list of 11 universities he would like to visit and then he will start narrowing them down. 

Also...Do you guys remember the High Honor Society Induction? 

Well...my son was elected President of the Society for his senior year.  

YAY!!!

He was very happy and we are so very proud of him.

***********

I hope you guys have a great day and 

I will have a few more MPS clear stamps sneak peeks for you asap!

Love you all!
