Spring is in Bloom Tag with Gel Press

May is in full bloom which means so is Springtime! 

Hydrangeas are blooming, dragonflies are flying, and everything is coming alive! 

Speaking of blooming... 

When you create with the Gel Press it reminds me that creating is watching a project bloom. 

Every time I apply different mediums and textures to the Gel Press and do a pull with paper, I am always so surprised at the creation that has been created. 

***This paper pull was created with using 3 Americana paints; brush on randomly

using the Gel Press and Brayer. 

Die cut a tag from the prepared paper. 

Lay stencil on top; apply crackle paste. Dry

Add border element to top of tag. 

Apply some rub-ons on here and there on prepared tag.

Add bow to tag. 

Paint chipboard frame using Prima Tropical Confections to match fussy cut piece. 

Fussy cut images from pattern paper. 

Adhere fussy cut pieces to prepared frame. 

Add to tag.

Finish tag with dragonflies and element strip at the bottom.

Enjoy Pam

"Ooh La La" Candy Treasure Chest with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts

Good morning my chipboard loving friends! I am so glad that you stopped by today to see my "Ooh La La" Candy Treasure Chest that I created using Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Treasure Chest. It is extremely easy to recreate since I kept all the chipboard that I used to embellish in their nature state.

But, first.... start by adding card stock to the base of the Treasure Chest.

Attach sides to base using adhesive; hold together with small pieces of washi tape. Adhere pattern paper to inside of Treasure Chest.

Add pattern paper to outside of prepared Treasure Chest. Adhere small chipboard pieces to sides of Treasure Chest; adhere pattern paper strips to the chipboard strips.

Add beads to the bottom of Treasure Chest to form height and interest to the candy dish.

Adhere pattern paper to Treasure Chest lid.

Adhere Victorian Corners and Stackable Labels Shape Set to top of prepared Treasure Chest,

Add clear bead and bow to top of Treasure Chest.

Fill "Ooh La La" Treasure Chest with candy. Glue flowers and lock to top and sides of Treasure Chest.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to re-create your own "Ooh La La" Candy Treasure Box or even make a gift box out of it. Hugs Pam

Happy Fouth of July with PaperCrafters Corner

Happy Fourth of July...wanted to share a card that was made for today. I am also entering it in the PaperCrafters Corner Magazine Challenge Monday - Week 106. 

I was inspired by the stars in the sky and color palette to create my card with.
 I am also entering my Liberty Card in the ScorePal "More Than Once Score" Challenge #17. I love how the accordion fan makes it look like the stars in the sky from the magazine cover. Make sure to check ScorePal HERE for the information to the challenge.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July celebrating with family and friends, remembering our Armed Service as those that have served and are now serving as we celebrate our independence, freedom and liberty. Hugs Pammejo

Beware Card with SinCity Halloween Stamp Sets

I am so glad you stopped by today I would love to share with you the latest Halloween Collection and Halloween Collection 2 Stamp Sets with you today. I started by inking some Bo Bunny Autumn Song from the 6x6 paper pad using Colorbox Chestnut Roan ink. I made a border strip using a scallop border punch and placed it under a purple piece of the paper from the Autumn Song paper pad, tie some brown twine around the border and staple it in place with a tiny attacher before placing it on the Kraft card base. Make sure not to adhere the border into place because your tag is going to slide under it.

I punched a tag from a tag punch and stamped Toil and Trouble using Memories Black Ink from Stewart Superior, placing it under the border that is on the front my card. Add three orange gemstones and a fussy cut spider from the Halloween Collection Stamp Set. Add Glossy Accent to the top of the spider and allow it to dry.

I stamped the Beware sentiment twice on to some of the leaves paper from the pad of paper, inked the edges with ColorBox Chestnut Roan Ink, fussy cut the center out and place it on top of the whole Beware Stamp with pop dots and add over the top of the border with pop dots. Add a couple of orange gemstones to the Beware sentiment. I finished my card by adding a crinkled ribbon that I stained with Concord Grape Stain to the tag. I hope you check out all the latest Halloween Stamps at SinCity Stamp Store. Hugs Pammejo

Bo Bunny May Sketch Challenge using Prairie Chic and IBS Creative Tags

Today I am sharing with you the May Card Sketch Challenge from Bo Bunny.

This is my take on the sketch using Bo Bunny Prairie Chic paper pad along with Inspired by Stamping Creative Tags for my sentiment.

I added a bit of Glossy Accent to a few dots on the Prairie Chic paper so they would have a bit of dimension to them. I love dimension to my projects.

As you can see with my take on the Inspired by Stamping Congrats Tag that I made by adding a fun mustard colored sheer bow and a fun little roly poly flower.

I also added a few more of the roly poly flowers with my Want2Scrap Filigree Bird. I hope you like my take on the the Bo Bunny May Sketch Challenge using the Inspired By Stamping Creative Tag Stamps, check out both sites and maybe participate in the challenge. Hugs Pammejo

Imagine Card for Bo Bunny Card Challenge

Have you heard there  is a new card challenge for the month of September over at the  Bo Bunny Blog The card sketch is designed by Juliana Michaels. I fell in love with it and just happen to have the new Apple Cider Collection from Bo Bunny so I thought I would just do the challenge since it has been a while since I participated in on with them.

 I hope you like my take on the sketch. I love the die cut that I used for part of the sentiment. Sometimes it is hard to imagine the colors of fall, the crisp leaves as we walk across the yard and the cool breeze that begins to blow around us. We forget that it is a time to watch children play in leaves that were once raked into a pile, or a nice fire in the evening, hot chocolate, bonfires and roasting marshmallow. Can you tell I love fall!!!!

There are all kinds of dies out on the market to make rosettes but you can make them with your paper trimmer and scoring too. I cut two 1/2" strips and one 3/4" strip, scored them all on the 1/4" and accordion folded all three of the pieces. Once you have them folded, release them and glue each end of each strip together to form a circle. Press down onto a circle and glue into place. Add the Epiphany Bubble Caps to the top of each. Do you see the burlap, I added it under the scallop wheel barrow, love it. I hope you try the rosettes and also try the challenge over at Bo Bunny. Hugs Pammejo
