RG: Planner Love

Hello Everyone, today I have a fun planner page and divider using the new Silver and Gold collection by Richard Garay. I also used some products by Fun Stampers journey. I love this Rose Gold planner from FSJ and the florals from the new collection made it so easy to create my pages.

Now I created this page for a week before Mother's day as that is when my daughters want to prepare some of the things for me.


Here are some steps to create this card:

to create the divider, I used watercolor cardstock. I then spritz some Cool Pool color splash onto it. Once dry, I sponged Beach Ball ink over it. 
I then took the stencil and applied some more of the blue ink through it.
I then spritz some silks onto this piece and let it dry.


I then die-cut the flowers and leafy vine and created my cluster. To finish, I added some enamel accents onto the flower centers.


I then created the vellum pocket and applied some ink onto it using the same blue color. 


For the pin, I simply adhered the die-cut flower and leaf. For the center I colored the mat white make amazing accent dot in teal and adhered it to the center.


For the other side of the pocket, I used this photo of my daughters with me from our recent trip to Colmar. I layered some patterned papers from the Origami love collection. The colors match perfectly with the theme :) I decorated using some more die-cut flowers.


To decorate the page, I first stamped the brush stroke from the Celebration collection and then stamped some washi stamps by FSJ. I then stamped and embossed the flowers onto vellum, colored them using the pencil colors.


I then die-cut the word loving, which come with the FSJ Amaze machine. I sponged some teal, mint and blue ink for the ombre effect.

I used the pretty Gel pens by FSJ to write my to do. Love the colors of these pens.

SugarPea Designs is hopping with My Sweet Petunia!

Hello and welcome to this special hop between SugarPea Designs and My Sweet Petunia (MISTI). I am so honored to be part of the SugarPea Design team AND I love MISTI and it really has changed  the way I stamp. It has made clear, crisp stamping so much easier and most important especially for me, that I don't have to waste my precious white cardstock :) I get it from US most of the time and shipping is a killer...lol


For today, I chose to create this gorgeous plaid pattern background using the Striped background stamp...WHY??? Cos MISTI makes it so easy...and I also created this layered stamping vase directly onto the die-cut as I had MISTI help.

First I aligned my stripe background stamp against the 45 degree angle from the new Creative Corners for MISTI. I then closed the door of the MISTI to adhere the stamp. 


I then stamped the background using orange ink. I wanted kind of a distressed look so, I stamped this just once. If you want a solid stamping, you can stamp over the same again. I moved my cardstock to fill in the whole layer.


I then turned the layer 90 degrees and stamped the background again using Orange ink. Once this was done, I used the yellow ink, offset the card layer a bit and stamped onto the white layer once again for additional color.


I then die-cut the image die and stamped the multi step image using MISTI. I could stamp using 2 shades of ink for the leaves and flowers, as with MISTI, I knew I could stamp in the same position any number of times.


Here is a close-up for you
