I'm Back - It's Been a Long Time

Hi everyone.  It has been a very long time for sure and I hope to do better.  As we all know, life just seems to get in the way at times.  

I recently created some items I want to share with you here.  

This is a card I made using the beautiful Lovely Day Stamp Set from Fun Stampers Journey.

Here are the Supplies I used - all from Fun Stampers Journey

Stamp Set - Lovely Day, Glass Blooms,
Cardstock & Papers - Black Licorice, Bubble Gum, Butter Cream, Designer Choice Prints, Color Splash sheets
Die - Journey Ovals
Embossing Folder - Beach Towel
Ink - Black Licorice
Color Splash Pencils
Accessories - Bubble Gum Ribbon, Journey Glaze, Journey Sparkle Dust, Water Brush, Foam Squares, Glue Journey Glue Dots

My Second Card I want to share was also so much fun to create.  I wanted to go a little out of the box with this one.  So I call it a "shabby Chic" type card.  I used FSJ Pan Pastels to color all over an 8 1/2 x11" piece of white cardstock, then randomly stamped the swirled flower and leaves all over the sheet and then cut them out.  Wanted a different look instead of just coloring in the flowers.  As you can tell, I distressed all the edges of the papers to give it that shabby look.  The flower has pop dots in between the layers.  

All supplies are Fun Stampers Journey Items.

Stamp Set - Flower Swirls, Glass Blooms,
Dies - Doily, Journey Square
Ink - Black Licorice
Paper - Blue Lagoon, Pool Play, Whip Cream, Banana Cream, Designer Choice Prints
Pan Pastels (Flower and leaves)
Accessories - Journey Soft Tools, Foam Squares, Fashion Silver Metallic Dots, Small Dauber Dowel

I want to thank you all for stopping by and hope that you like my latest creations.  More to come.  

Happy stamping and blessings to all,

Pat

Exciting News

Hey My Friends, I have finally gotten around to creating my blog that will be dedicated to my new journey.  I am now a Coach with Fun Stampers Journey and will be showcasing my cards using FSJ products here.   I have been trying to get this blog started for a while, but as we all know "Life happens".  So I hope you all will enjoy seeing the cards I have made thus far.  There will be more to come for sure.  

My first two cards with only FSJ products are two pleated ones.  These were so much fun to make.  I created these for a reunion of a group of very special crafty ladies.  I think they had fun creating their card too.  

All cardstock and printed papers from Fun Stampers Journey.  I absolutely love our stitched dies and you will definitely see those a lot on my cards to come.  

Another special card I recently made was for the engagement party for my niece and her fiancee.  I wanted this to hold a gift card or cash and wanted to try and make it very special for them.  I used a die and all papers from FSJ.  

Here is the front view.

Items out of the pockets

Another card I just finished last night.  I love lilies and these just called for me to use our new watercolor pencils.  They are called Journey Color Splash and color like a dream.  So easy peasy.  

And last but not least, the card I finished just a few minutes ago.  Love this set too.  A great card for someone under the weather or just feeling blue.  :-)  Colored with our watercolor pencils and also used our rectangle stitched dies.  

Well I hope you made it to the end.  LOL  As I was posting all the cards, I thought man you can all tell my favorite color.  Yep you got it, PURPLE.  Any shade of purple makes me a very happy gal.  

I want to thank you all for stopping by and joining me on my new journey.  I know its going to be an awesome experience and I hope in some way I can help you on your journey too.  Please stop by again and if you would please leave comments.  They will mean all the world to me. 

Happy Stamping and many blessings,

Pat
