Two Paper Divas~Dream Big!

Happy Friday Crafty Friends, I'm back to share with you an lil' make I made for

Today I have a card using the newly released 

Dream Big and Rose Bouquet sets. I just love how simple, yet empowering this sentiment is!

I started with a 5.25'x5.25' piece of Watercolor paper and embossed the Rose Bouquet with White Embossing Powder. Then I went over it with Poppy Red Twinkling H20's and spritzed with water til I had the desired effect I wanted. 

I embossed the  Dream Big sentiment with Black and Red Embossing powders and then layered it onto a Spellbinders Lacy Circles die cut on metallic black CS with some 3D Foam Pads. Added some Black Silk Ribbon and bling button from my stash to tie it all together..no pun intended. lol!






Be sure to join me next Friday for another fun make using this month's New Releases.

So Suzy Stamps~ Christmas in July!

Good morning crafty Friends, it's time for a blog hop and new challenge over at 

This month's Challenge is 

CHRISTMAS in JULY!

I made 2 new cards with this adorable release! Both using watercolors and different Christmas trees. 

The first card I used  Fancy Swirl Christmas Tree.

I stamped the image onto 110lb Watercolor CS with Versamark Ink and embossed with White Detail EP from Recollections. Then I added Red Watercolor across for the background and stamped the Holiday Wishes sentiment in Staz On Black ink. Layered this CS onto red and black CS and finished with Gingham black ribbon from So Suzy Stamps and rhinestones from my stash.  

Next up, I used the Delicious Coffee Christmas Tree and used the same embossing and watercolor technique as the first card but with brown. 

The sentiment is Lots of Coffee. How perfect is this New Coffee Tree and Sentiment stamp? Just perfect for that Java Lover! And lets talk about that adorable Coffee Beans ribbon!! Love it! Finished with A button from my stash and some Dark Chocolate Liquid Pearls. Layered the image layer onto Chocolate and Beige CS from Recollections. 

There some Cute and Simple cards that are so easy to do with a little embossing and watercoloring!

Don't forget today there is FREE SHIPPING- INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL at
