Flower Blocks - Blessings to You

Happy Saturday everyone~
This is Maki and I have one card to show you today.

From all of the March release stamp sets, Flower Blocks 1 is my very favorite!!  I decided to color the water lily and made this clean & simple card. I used the sketch from SCS Sketch Challenge (SC427).
I love the drama that this set gives every project!

I have a few more cards I've made in my blog, HERE if you like to check ;)



Thank you for stopping by.
Have a wonderful weekend!

How Kind of You!

Hello everyone~
It is Maki and I hope you're having a wonderful weekend so far.

This clean and simple card was made with 4 Petal Flowers. I love this set also has the coordinating die set. It makes us save a creating time :) The flowers' colors were picked from the designer paper I used.
For the sentiment, I die-cut the banner and sponged ink to add the green. I embellished the center of each flower and added the bow that was made with hemp twine to finish off.


Thank you for stopping by.
Have a fantastic Sunday!

With Love from Cocoa

Hello everyone~
It is Maki and is my turn to post today.
We still have about 10 more days till Valentine's Day and I hope you like it.
I used Cocoa's Heart for the image and sentiment. Instead of coloring the whole image with Copic markers, I paper pieced the heart part and then adhered the Cocoa after I colored.

This card was also submitted to the Sketch Challenge from Splitcoaststampers (SC421).



Thank you for stopping by.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

For You - Long Stem Silhouettes

Happy Saturday everyone~
It is Maki and I have one card to show you today. I made this with Long Stem Silhouettes and some pretty designer papers I had.
The long stem image was little washed out from the photo but it is actually dark brown like the twine I used.


Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you for stopping by.

From Bottom of My Heart - Sneak Peek!

Hello there,
This is Maki and I am super excited to show you my card today!! This card was created with the brand new set to be released on Friday, January 4th! It is called From Bottom of My Heart :)

Each heart is single stamp and there are more hearts I didn't use for the card. That's a lot of hearts! lol. The set is also included sweet sentiments to work well for the hearts.


Be sure to come back every day to check more sneak peeks of new January releasing sets from now to January 9th.



Happy stamping!

Gift of Grace

Hello everyone~
It's Makiko and I have one card for you today.

I used the school color (green and white) of Sandy Hook Elementary School where the 26 innocent lives were violently taken away last Friday. One thing I know is we are promised nothing. All that we have is truly a gift and I am so thankful for the time I have had and for what is left.
I pray for all parents, family and friends who lost those precious lives. I hope they will find peace and comfort one day.

I used Graceful Calla Lily set for the image and the sentiment. The image was colored with Copic markers.



Hope you like it.
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great day.

Christmas Candle Light

Hello and happy Friday!

This is Makiko and I have one Christmas card to show you today. 

Speaking of Christmas, it is the last day of Birthday Sale at SNSS Store and all Christmas/Holiday clear stamps are on sale until tonight. Grab some before the sale ends!

Also, be sure to check out Friends of SNSS Blog Hop to chance to win a $15 store credit! You will have until midnight EST on November 30th to comment for a chance to win!

I used the sketch from Sketch Challenge 431 from Splitcoaststampers. 

The image and the sentiment are from Christmas Light set and I used the coordinating die to cut the image. It is much easier than cutting by scissors :) Although I still had to fuss-cut for the sentiment, which I do a lot when I design cards....gives more freedom to design this way IMO.

To finish off, I embellished the card with lace trim and the red tea roses. 

Hope you like it!

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Happy Friday everyone!

It's Makiko and it is my turn to write something here. Have you hopped around the DT's Favorites blog hop? All of the DT's favorite sets are on sale 25% off now through Nov 7th, including the set I used for my card above :)

You also don't want to miss any of the wonderful sales and events throughout a month of November!

I used the sketch from SCS Sketch Challenge 409 (SC409) for this card. I stamped the one of the images from Bee Happy Rhubarb and colored it with Copic markers. The card was designed with the colored cardstock, two different designer papers for the border. To finish off, I stamped the sentiment and embellished the ribbon with button.

Happy Creating!

We Wish You...

Happy Wednesday!!  

It's Makiko and I am very exctied to post here for the first time! I love all of the October Release (who doesn't like Christmas?) but Christmas Penguins was my must-have. (Again, who doesn't like penguins? lol) 

I decided to create this Christmas card with using just one image and sentiment from the set. The image was just stamped 3 times and colored with Copic markers. I changed the color patterns for each present and trimmed around the images to adhere on the card. I die cut with one of the Lacey Eyelet Border dies for the border and adhered the sentiment piece. To finish off, I dressed the rhinestoned on the sentiment tag.

Happy Creating!
