Treasured Times Blog Hop & Release Party....It's not too late!

 

Hello friends,

I have a second card to showcase for the Treasured Times Rubber Stamps Blog Hop & Release Party. This card is made using the Vintage Valentine Stamp Set which is also one of the new release. This set comes with both images and sentiments and is just precious for Valentine's Day.

 

I have chosen to use two of the image stamps along with the perfect matching sentiment all from the newly released set, shown below.

 

 I've added die cuts, lace, and of course some amazing wild orchid crafts flowers. 

Here is a close up of my coloring.

Make sure to scroll below to the previous post to play along with our amazing blog hop. Time is running out so happy hopping!

Here is my card that showcases this new image. I had such fun with dies on this card. This new paper line which you will read about below is by far some of the most beautiful paper I have ever worked with. I won't spoil the surprise but let me say "Thank You" To the artist behind the scenes designing this amazing paper to work with **wink wink**

I've used a lot of dies by Noor! in this project.

 A sweet hidden message!

 

And now I'd like to introduce our newest illustrator and new product line!!! 

Michele Roos from MicheleRDesigns has joined our team!!!

Welcome aboard Michele!!! We're so excited to be working with you!

Michele designs patterned paper for card making and she's extremely talented!  I've admired her work for some time, and some of our design team members have been using her digital papers for quit a while before we brought her on board with us. 

Michele's Bio:

I live on the west coast of Ireland in a place called Co Kerry where I live

with my very understanding Hubby, 3 children (2 boys & 1 girl) 2 cats and a dog. I've been crafting for most of life - whether it's cross-stitching, knitting, crocheting but for the past 8 years now I've been card making. I always loved my papers especially the floral designs and I hated cutting into them (I know it's crazy) as I didn't want to run out of my favourite. So one day I started playing about on my computer with creating some designs and I liked how they turned out. And as the saying goes the rest is history.

~Michele~

Michele has been hard at work designing exclusive 6 x 6 patterned paper packs just for our store Treasured Times. These Paper Packs contain 24 sheets of single sided paper. Each pack contains 8 different designs, 3 of each design. These come in a see through resealable cellophane bag with hang tab.

Treasured Times Rubber Stamps ~ James and Sled

Hello Friends,

Today I have a unique card that I have made up using my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. It was fun dusting it off and playing with it for a change. I am showcasing the adorable clear stamp by illustrator Erica Nicomedi, named "James and Sled". It is an adorable image and so perfect for winter time. Treasured Times has a wonderful selection of both rubber and clear mount stamps by an amazing group of illustrators. Click HERE to visit the store.

I have colored this image with Copic markers and have used a spellbinders die in the background along with some yellow rhinestones. Such a fun and unique card. I hope you all enjoyed stopping by. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Melanie

The Paper Nest Dolls ~ Winter Mail Ellie

Hi Blog Family,

This week over at The Paper Nest Challenge Blog we are kicking off another "Anything Goes" challenge. Entering the challenge gives you a chance to win $20 in prizes so make sure to stop by and share your cards HERE. I had a lot of fun with this window style card. If anyone knows me they know I have a fetish for metal dies. I have used a die here to create the window of this card.  I place The "Winter Mail Ellie" image on the inside of the card so that it peeks out the window. Make sure to stop by The Paper Nest Dolls online store to grab this adorable rubber stamp!!!

Peak-a-boo ;-)

Inspiration for this card came from the tutorial page over at "From My Craft Room" Blog. Thank you Norma for the wonderful tutorial.

I have used the following copic markers to color my stamped image:

Skin: E000,E00,E11,E21,R20

Hair: E31,E33m E35

Clothes: YG93, YG95, R83, R85

Snow: BG000, BG01, BG02

Misc: C1,C3,C5,R37,E30,E37,E59

Have an amazing crafty day, and if you enjoyed your stop here today I would love you to follow my blog. Thank You So Much!

Melanie
