Colour Me #69 and Simon Says Stamps - Anything Goes


No it is not Valentine's Day but while I was cleaning the tote bag I take with me to work everyday I came across my MFT's pierced heart stacking dies that used for a Mother's Day project. And speaking of Mother's Day projects I have to share this one with you....Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea came up with this and I have to say that my students had so much fun making them.

We used the Pencil Bloom Dies from Papertrey Ink and then we wrapped them in white doilies and tied them off with some curl ribbon.

Then I remember why I had to buy these. Jennifer McGuire's video, you can see it here. So I pulled out this week's colors from Colour Me's challenge and went to work. They were so much fun to make and can not wait to make more and change up the colors and even add some patterned paper! I am also entering this card at Simon Says Challenge - Anything Goes. Hope you are having a fabulous weekend....thank you so much for taking the time to stop by.

  1. Your pencil bouquets are just gorgeous, and I can see all the moms from your school being so very happy on Mother's Day to get a bouquet that never dies and is so beautiful and useful, too. And, I just love your trio of heart cards. I remember that video, and such a great way to make a set of cards. Love how those stitched hearts look all perfectly nested like that.

  4. Wow - what an awesome color combo! Fabulous trio. Either my eyes are playing tricks on me (which happens often) but it looks like the largest heart on the blue & pink base is popped up! If not, it's one heck of an optical illusion!

    The pencil flower bouquets are sooooooo sweet! The moms are going to love them! I can well imagine that you had just as much fun (if not more) than the students making this sweet paper crafting project!

  14. A great design and ideal for mass production. Even though the design is the same for all cards they look very different. The impact of colors never ceases to amaze me...
