Flowers, please.



Indeed, I feel like counting down the time to change my clock and to see the seeds sprouting in preparation for another planting and harvesting season. I love having a garden and my children love it too. They eat so much of the fresh vegetables straight from the garden and most of the time they do not even wash them. It is wonderful to be playing outside and just reach out for a snack right then and there.

While I wait ever so patiently for all that to come about, I have my dreams of flowers come to fruition in the form of cards. The Dostamper Stars challenge 168 asked for a nice and cheerful color combo and I like my interpretation of it. The Field of Flowers stamp set is perfect for a diverse garden and the little flowers are perfect for coloring. The And Many More stamp set gave a nice gentle sentiment. For the lower panel I used the Pretty Petals DSP stack. The center scallop was cut using the Scallop Edge Punch. The paper was cut in each side from a single stripe, the black was added to the top, the Melon Mambo ribbon added along with a perfect little bow.

Thank you for visiting today. It is my pleasure to have you over. Be well

Miriam

As always, I invite you to look at more inspiration for the other Dostamper Stars.

    Most old, but a bit new too.

    CCMC390

    Well, let me say that I am glad we were not in the blizzard that reached the east coast over the weekend. I feel bad for those that were affected and hope all were safe and life is back to normal now.

    My weekend was busy but we got to spend time with a dear family friend of ours and it was so wonderful that I hope to do that more often. I did find a wee bit of time to play in my craft room, but not as much as I had wished for. I did prepare a card for the CCMC 390, and I dug a bit on my boxes of retired paper. It is nice to have those boxes to pull from and reminisce over the retired products. I went all hog on the retired and used almost all retired products on this card: Flashback DSP, Flower Pot DSP, Label Something stamp set, Artisan Label punch, and that beautiful Lost Lagoon ribbon. The Label Bracket is current, so there, something new too.

    Thank you for visiting today. Please do stop by again. Be well.

    Ring it up.



    My children are in a crazy count down for Christmas just like last year. They are having fun, but almost driving em crazy in the process. I have been busy and we are still having classes this week, I have plenty going on, and I am back on my knitting swing. My friend sent me lots of yarns and they all look so beautiful that I must knit!


    Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, mm, wedding card, timeless elegance dsp, rose wonder stamp set, flowering fields, banner triple punch, scalloped edge border punch, su

    But I have not abandoned my craft room and had prepared a wedding card today. Yes, and there are some new products in this card. As a matter of fact there are two new stamp sets used in this card: Rose Wonder and Flowering Fields. The Rose Wonder is absolutely a must and it has a framelit to match. It is gorgeous. The Flowering Fields is from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and I a perfect set for background making, and that's what I used that one for on this card. I add a touch of the Timeless Elegance DSP and could not call this card completed without the touch of ribbon and a beautifully made bow.

    Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will stop by again soon. Be well

    Cake? Yes please.



    This weekend was one of my craft fairs and we could not have asked for better weather and crowd. It was beautiful all around. Outdoors events can be tricky and a rainy day or wind day is goof for paper only if you are in a cozy indoors. Thankfully there was no rain or wind.


    Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, pp, birthday card, bohemian dsp, sketched birthday, pleasant poppies, big day stamp set, scalloped edge border punch, su

    I had little to no time for crafting over the weekend. Saturday was busy too getting ahead with chores and making sure the house was supplied with fresh food for the week. Now I have time to go back to my craft area and play a bit. A birthday card seems in order and I used The Paper Players' challenge 264 to create this one. The Bohemian dsp was used here in the lower panel and the Rich Razzleberry added a pop to the Delightful Dijon on the paper. The stamp sets are both retired, but I love them both. The Pleasant Poppies has been a favorite and I kept for my use, the Big Day is from 2015 Sale-a-Bration, and the sentiment is from Birthday Sketch. Didn't they go along beautifully? A touch of ribbon and a perfect bow adds the final icing to this cake. Go ahead and have a bite!

    Thank you for visiting today and for all the kind words. I love to read them all, but not always get to reply to each and everyone of you. I do appreciate and enjoy them all.

    There comes the stork.



    Yes, I am still on baby cards mode. Since my friend's baby shower I got several cards made. I really love today's card, so shall we get to it?


    Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, baby card, rs, sweet li'l things dsp, confetti stars punch, scalloped edge border punch, big shot, window frames collection, su

    Now, perhaps is just the mode in my mind, but when I saw the RetroSketch Challenge 176 I saw a baby card in it! I know, I know. Nonetheless, I figure I would transfer the card from my mind to the paper. I like the results from the combination of the Sweet Lil' Thing DSP,  the Stars Confetti Punch, a bit of the Scallop Edge punch, with the single image of that smart stork from a retired stamp set. I decided on a touch of a pretty ribbon and a perfect bow rather than a sentiment and I think it was a perfect touch.  My friend is having a baby girl, and I think this card can easily be changed to a more girly tones.

    Thank you for visiting today. I look forward to seeing you again. Be well

    Smile & go for a ride!




    Thursday arrive and I get in gear for the weekend and for spending some time in my craft room. I am sure many of you can associate with that, and we all know it is a excellent way to relax and give our creativity a workout.

    For today's Dostamper Stars challenge 111, I pulled out a stamp that I was yet to use and I love it. This is a Birthday Card and since I was - once upon a time - a biker, I related to that little scooter a lot. I used to ride a bigger bike, but then I got pregnant and the bike became history. Oh well. So, the Today & Everyday stamp set is a cute one and I only added the Typeset Specialty DSP because if you are going for a ride, go all out!

    Grateful!


     
    Happy Saturday everyone. This was a busy week and the weekend looks like is going the same way. We made a quick trip to IN to visit my husband's parents, but since we were all a bit congested we returned quickly. So, I had time to play a bit in my craft room and made a card to share with you today.

    I truly became a lover of sketch challenges. This one is from the Freshly Made Sketch challenge 164. I kept it simple but want to have sparkles of colors all over. I did want to cut the sentiment from Let Your Hair Down stamp set, but because of my nasal congestion it was hard to do it. Instead I use the Apothecary Accent framelit which was a perfect fit and lined it with the Chalk Talk framelit. Had never used those framelits together before, I must say, I like the looks of it. Oh, the possibilities are endless!

    Hand Coloring? Of course!



    I am not a sketch artist. Never was. However, I like to color every now and then. Depending on the image it can really be soothing.

    Miriam Castanho Bollinger, mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, pp, park lane dsp, a round array stamp set, scalloped edge border punch, su

    Today was a day when I needed to sooth myself and coloring I did. The sketch is from The Paper Players challenge 223 and the color combo was my own choice. I enjoy the A Round Array stamp set and I thought it went well with the small pattern of the Park Lane DSP and large flowers of the detail piece. I noticed that I do not use much of the Calypso Coral cardstock, and therefore that became my base today. The other colors were very complimentary and easy to put it all together.

    Blooming with Stippled Blossoms


     

    I know this is not Monday... well, almost a Monday, but not yet. However late I was not able to resist preparing an entry for the Mojo Monday 355 challenge. One of my favorite stamp sets is the Stippled Blossom. Every time I use it, it is like the first time. Do you like the Stippled Blossom set?


    The background  Flower Pot DSP sets the stage for the Stippled Blossom. The richness of colors of the DSP made it easier to select the colors for the card.

    Tips and Tricks:
    • The Lost Lagoon layer was cut 1/2" bigger than the DSP layer. This way I was able to cut the scallop and have it showing.
    • For the cut out circles, I first stamped the flower, near the edge of the Very Vanilla card stock then I cut. Once I had it I then proceed to measure and cut the Lost Lagoon circle layer.
    • The Banners were embossed using the Arrows TIEF.
    • The little bow was made using My Bow Maker; it makes a bow in a snap!

    And Yet another Happy Day!


       

    Happy Day indeed! We are finally catching a break with my baby's skin condition and that is making all of us happy. To celebrate, I visited the Try Stampin' on Tuesday to check out what challenge they had going on and the sketch was just right. Then I was off to look for some colors and found the color combo from ColourQ challenge was happy and fresh.  From there it was easy to pick the Smile sentiment from the Happy Day stamp set and get the card completed!


    Have you had a chance to see the new Design Series Papers yet? Oh my, they are beautiful. Beside they are now on a fantastic sale that you do not want to miss it. Head over to my store to see it all!
    Tips and Tricks:
    • The DSP used on the top is so beautiful. The photo does not do justice. I cut a trip 1" wide, and layered on Calypso Coral card stock that has been cut using the Scallop edge border punch.
    • For the sentiment, I stamped on Whisper White and then layered on Basic Black which was cut with the Chalk Talk and then split in half.
    • The beautiful bow was easily done using my Bow Maker.
