Flower Soft Ornament

Are you looking ahead to fast and easy Christmas projects? Here's a quick ornament idea using the Vintage Christmas Toppers... I used a square die to cut out the letters image from within one of the scalloped designs. The Fleur de Lis and Labels die are from Spellbinders, and they are layered with foam tape in between for a little more dimension.

I used Christmas Green and Strawberry Flower Soft on the image... here's a close-up!

It's not to early to start your Christmas Cards

I received an early Christmas present in my DT package a few weeks ago! It's the Cute Christmas CD. What fun this CD is! With many toppers, scenes and images, the sky's the limit in terms of creating.

If you enjoy Paper Tole, the CD is perfect for you as well, because there are multi layered image that are pre printed just for that purpose. I love the dimension that I can get in my creations with this technique and these beautiful cards work up quite quickly. You can find the Cute Christmas CD HERE

Good Monday Morning! Here in Canada, we're enjoying a long weekend, so I apologize if the posts up a tad late! I enjoyed a wonderful getaway with my guy to his hometown, meeting some of his Childhood Friends and Family! It was a short trip, but so nice to meet the people I've been hearing about for quite some time!

I wanted to show you this project because I used the Ultrafine Strawberry Flowersoft to add some texture to the Feather's on this sweet lady's hat!




Even using a touch of Flower Soft here and there, can make a difference on your project!



Hope you have a lovely week!

Supplies: Stamp:Red Hat Stella-Totally Stampalicious

For Dad

Good Morning!

Hope that you all enjoyed your weekend! Fathers Day is soon approaching here in Canada and the United States and I thought I would share a card with this theme.




Sometimes just a wee touch of Flower Soft will make a big difference on a card. I really like to use the Flower Soft to create grass and sand and such on Designer Paper. It's often difficult to use your colouring mediums on this paper, especially when the colours are a little darker. The Flower Soft creates a lovely base for you, which in turn grounds your image. Visually it keeps your image from appearing to be floating in mid air and is more visually pleasing. I used Ultrafine Sage on this particular Project. In addition, I used a little dab of Ultra Fine Strawberry on her Barrettes and earrings. I really love that I can add dimension without too much bulk


Guess what? You can see the second epsiode of Flower Soft TV today. Noreen is featuring the Starter Box today! Be sure to check it out HERE

Sweet Treat Package

Happy Monday! If you're celebrating Victoria Day today and are enjoying a long weekend, I hope it's been safe and fun! I'm excited to be bringing you some of my projects each Monday here on the Flower Soft Blog!




I created this gift set with two of the images in the Recipes for Friendship Kit. I made the small Pizza Box, for which I found the Tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. This was quick and easy as well. I used a Nestabilitie to cut an octagonal shape around my image and sponged some soft sky and celery ink around the image. I used some Ultrafine Flower soft in Strawberry to add some dotted dimension to the bag and hair bows and some UF Toffee for the bear. A Little Shamrock to the grass..... and Viola! That was done in a flash!







I wanted to continue to experiment with my new colours and didn't want to repeat the same pattern, so for creative part of the challenge on my card I used some Shamrock and Ultrafine Raspberry Fizz to create the little bushes! In addition, I added some Lilac to her little hair bows!




I had lots of fun machine stitching the Red border.........hehe.........so much fun that I stitched and Stitched and stitched to create a shabby border. I'm lovin' that Polka dotted Ribbon too! I'm sure you've seen it here before and I need to order some more as I've just about used it all up!


Have a WONDERFUL day!
