Morning to you all and welcome to my new followers and huge apologies to both old and new that I have been a really bad blogger this last few days and not visited as I would like. I have been so busy working away at more samples for C&C TV and coupled with trying to get ahead at the office before our holidays, I'm afraid I've had little time for blogging.
But it is time to share my DT work for Stamping Sensations where we have a sketch designed by our Tracy which comes with the twist of a Summer colour option and at Penny Black and More it's all about Dies and Punches.
But it is time to share my DT work for Stamping Sensations where we have a sketch designed by our Tracy which comes with the twist of a Summer colour option and at Penny Black and More it's all about Dies and Punches.
My Penny Black DT piece above is quite a simple make using my all time favourite Penny Black inspirational quote as the focal point of my card, Spellbinders and some lovely Graphic 45 DP's. And to embellish two lillies made using Tonic's punch and stamp Peruvian lily set.
My second share is my Stamping Sensations DT piece following Tracy's lovely sketch and she also added the option of summer colours, so it had to be poppies for me as they are in abundance everywhere around here at the moment.
The stamp is another from Penny Black coloured with Pan Pastles and the background DP's are some of the lush new Remember Me ones from Kaisercraft. A border, some ribbon, Spellbinder leaves and a poppy made from Tonic's Rose punch and stamp set...............I think it's no secret by now that I adore Ruth's wonderful Tonic products.
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and those of you in the UK enjoying this burst of Summer weather.
These are 2 beauties Brenda....the poppies are just about finished here but have been really stunning this year...they must have liked the late spring. It really is a gorgeous weekend, sushine and tennis, what could be better. Enjoy your Sunday, I shall be glued to the the TV later...go Andy go!! X
ReplyDeleteMorning, Brenda, what gorgeous cards!! I love that quote on the first one, but then you used poppies... lol!! Have a lovely day.

Wow! Stunning cards Brenda. Such lovely colour and detail.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Fliss xx
PS: Bad blogger here too!
that sentiment stamp really is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Brenda, both of them! Think I prefer the PB one, just because of the colours. I nearly bought that Spellbinders die set at Doncaster but changed my mind. Having seen your lovely card, wish I'd got it!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.

Two gorgeous creations Brenda. I love the popy you have made using Ruth's punches, it's just wonderful, and the lilies on the first card are beautiful too. Maddy x
ReplyDeleteI just love that first one with the sentiment so beautifully framed & the detail of those punched flowers. Your use of kraft with the second one is delightful & I do like the offset image panel & the way you used the pattern of the paper to such brilliant effect.
ReplyDeleteTake care with all the preparation you have to do.
Paula (PEP)

Both pieces are really pretty Brenda. Especially like the first one. I find the color combo of green and yellow very challenging but your card turned out perfect.

Both so gorgeous! That sentiment is a favorite of mine. Hugs, Robin
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards, great sentiment and love the dies, flowers and the colours on the first card and I have to say that over the years I certainly have sung like no one was listening but unfortunatly many of my work colleges were, and I was also begged to stop, my rendition of Whitney Houston's I will always love you and Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell had me in casualty many times!!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond card, another fabulous image and great papers, love the poppy flower and the subtle colour of the leaves.
Have a great holiday.
Kath x
Oooo absolutely gorgeous hun, Luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Brenda. The colour combinations on both cards are beautiful and I could not chose a favourite from the two as they are both stunning.
ReplyDeleteShirley
Gorgeous cards Brenda. I love the sentiment on the first one, wouldn't it be good if we all lived by this! Those dies are stunning as are the lilies. The poppy one is so pretty and you know I cannot look at a picture of a poppy now without thinking of you! Michelle x
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Brenda, love the top one with the quote (had forgotten I have that stamp!)love your poppy card too, your flowers are always amazing
ReplyDeleteJoan
these are both beautiful brenda, but i especially love the bright colours of the first one with the delicate dies.
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful cards Brenda and I love your colour combinations. xx Flora
ReplyDeleteHallo,ganz wunderbar deine floralen Karten,liebe Grüße Ulrike
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Brenda. I love that PB text stamp and the Pervian Lilies are so realistic.
ReplyDeleteThe poppy card is gorgeous too - again those flower dies are fab. (Much treat myself to one set at least soon.)
Scorching here too. I went to an open garden event in a village not too far from here yesterday. Wonderful gardens - missing having the space for lots of plants even more now.
Beryl xx
Both are gorgeous cards Brenda. I love the first one. Lovely colours and fab dies. A great sentiment and the flowers look lovely. hugs, Marlies
ReplyDeleteBrenda, both your cards are stunning as always. Flowers on them looks so realistic. Very beautifully designed cards. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteHugs

ah B. your first card just sent me into raptures of delight!!
ReplyDeleteWow it is fab, you are very bad for my bank.. first was Panpastels.. which thankfully had birthday coming then the escapade with the 8" x 8" folder (which so delightful in its reduced state) and then you put on the 5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four - yes did a search to see just exactly what they were as your link was invalid .. so now will take the other ones off my wish list I was thinking of and put these on I think..
here is correct link one:
http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/products/p-955-5-x-7-elegant-labels-four.aspx
they are sooo nice why do I have such a die and folder addition ~ I dont get it??
:D hugs and every blessing dear B. for your health, Shaz in Oz.x PS the flowers are so gorgeous on both card as it the poppy stamp too.
Another two awesome creative designs. The flowers on the first are so realistic. Loving the sentiment on the first and the wild flower scene on the second.

These are both absolutely beautiful Brenda, gorgeous color combos on both and such a beautiful sentiment on the first one, and love that die!! Beautiful papers on the second one, and love the image! I have to apologize too for being a bad blogger...I blame summertime for it.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are beautiful. I love the saying on the first one.
ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous Brenda but I do love that sentiment. Summer is definitely the season for the lovely red poppies! Don't worry about popping over to me huni - I think everyone is a bit busy right now! Karen x
ReplyDeleteLove these Brenda. Especially the verse. The border on the card I made was a pre-bought card blank. I cheated! Haha Judy x
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous Brenda. Love the colours and one on favourite sayings on the first one!
ReplyDeletex catherine
Two fab cards and for once my fav is the first one and not the poppies! The flowers and backing paper on the first one look so realistic, so beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteLynn x
Two fantastic cards. Love the quote on the first one and the poppies on the second one.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Brenda! I especially love the top one with its gorgeous lillies and dies. The sentiment is lovely too :)

Hi Brenda, OMG I love your first card, but your 2nd one is to die for! Just love the image and that poppy, and I read you made it yourself, wow! I have to check out this Tonic punch you made it with! Anyhow, I was just now on the 'top floor' of my waterfall, weeding (I'm still not entirely done in the garden....) when the doorbell rang. Cursing and swearing (really, I do that sometimes LOL) I climbed down to find the postman on my doorstep with an enveloppe, and when opening it I found your lovely candy. My bad mood was gone in an instant, wooop wooop!! Love those gorgeous stamps, and will be using the leaves and flower in my art journals for sure, and that cute doggy/cat stamp is soo sweet. Not to mention all the other goodies. Thanks so much sweetie, you have made my day!! Big HUGE hug, and I hope your day is as sunny as mine! Hugs Frea
ReplyDeleteBoth absolutely stunning, the green and yellow is my favorite as I love that colour combination and the die cuts and flowers are so pretty, love the one with the poppies too though
ReplyDeleteLindsay xx
Both so pretty Brenda, lovely colours. Not sure where my time goes at the mo, never seems time to blog and my card making isn't much better. Hopefully when I get my craft room make over I'll be rarin to go! Carolxx
ReplyDeleteWow both stunning but my fav is the poppies.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteMarvellous creations, love the images on both, and the die cutting and punching is fabulous on the first. And I just love what you did with my sketch.
Happy crafting

Both lovely cards, but the first one is my favourite, as you say, it's just such a lovely sentiment. Jx
