Hi Fellow Crafters;

Hello Fellow Crafters;

We are halfway through another week, my big move at work is over and is now time to adjust to a new working environment.  School is almost nearly over for another year.  For my OCS post today, I have made a CAS card using the Paisley Peacock and matching paper from Heartfelt Creations.  I used Derwent Inktense Pencils to colour the image and added some Mowed Lawn distress ink to the edges of the watercolour paper.

Delight in the simple beauty….

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper, , ,

Hi Fellow Crafters;

It is Wednesday again, and it is my turn to post for OCS.  I tried a different technique this time, which I haven’t used for years.  I embossed the Birds & Blooms Collage Stamp from Heartfelt Creations with white embossing powder, which was then inked with Wild Honey and Dried Marigold Distress Inks.  The Bird and Butterflies are both from the Heartfelt Creations Birds and Blooms Collection.  The co-ordinating dies were used to cut the bird, flowers and butterflies.

Hi Fellow Crafters;

Wednesday is here again, which means hump day as well as this month is almost over.  Where oh where is the time going.  Besides having a new challenge on Monday as it is June 1st, school is almost out for the summer and a big move for my work which is an academic library will be over by mid June.  Yeah! Can’t wait for that to happen, moving houses is definitely a lot easier.  As my camera is having issues (the auto focus isn’t working properly), a thank you goes to my daughter-in-law Amanda for taking this photo with her iPhone

For my post today, I have used the Birds & Blooms, Leafy Branches stamps and co-ordinating dies both from Heartfelt Creations.  I used this specific piece of design paper for the wording on it.  It is the Butterfly Medley Collection also from Heartfelt Creations.  I added the small double dot jewels to the centers of the flowers.

Hi Fellow Crafters;

It is Wacky Wednesday again, and for today’s post for OCS I have used a couple of Heartfelt Creations latest releases — Peacock Paisley and Delightful Daisy, Delightful Daisy Dies; as well as the co-ordinating Peacock Paisley Collection paper pack. I also used the new Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit also by Heartfelt Creations.

I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir Pencils and added some clear Zig Wink of Stella to the flourishes.

Supplies used:

To create the flowers, I stamped the Delightful Daisy stamp set on vellum and then die cut them out with the matching die set. Using the matching die set eliminates the need for fuzzy cutting of the individual flowers and the die does a wonderful job.  To shape the flowers,  I used Heartfelt Creations new Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  A must have tool kit for anyone who likes to make their own flowers.  This kit comes with a stylus as well as 8 stylus tips,a piercer, a curler, an embossing mat and a piercing mat.  I used the curler to shape the flowers, as it won’t crack the vellum.

There is plenty of time to enter this month’s Anything Goes challenge for a chance to win a prize from One Crazy Stamper.  For any supplies that you might need check out Lora’s online store or in person.

Until next time, keep crafting and enjoy your creativity.

Sending lots of hugs,

Peony Posey

Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper, ,

Hi Fellow Crafters,

April, is certainly passing quickly and with it we are definitely into Spring with April Showers which will bring May Flowers.

For my post today here at OCS, I have used the new Peony Posey stamp from IndigoBlu.  I used the Spectrum Noir pencils to colour the flowers and then went over them with the Clear Wink of Stella to add a bit of glitter.  Before cutting the photo corners some Stick It Adhesive was added to the back of the cardstock.  This adhesive is great for dies where glue doesn’t work as well.
