Guest Designer: Neva

Good morning all. Our March Guest Designer Neva Cole is joining us today with a super adorable Spring card.

Here's what Neva has to say ...

This is my second project for Great Impressions as the Guest Designer for March.  It is fun to work with these sweet images! Jelly Bean Time (H284) is combined with Life is Sweeter Sentiment (E890) and several layers to create a springy card.

Jelly Bean Time is stamped on white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored with Chameleon Pens. The sentiment is stamped in Radiant Neon Electric Pink and the panel is die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles. Thin pastel pink ribbon is looped around the corners and a small bow is attached in one corner.  A second Stitched Rectangle is die cut from white cardstock and sponged with Radiant Neon Electric Blue.  The bottom layer is white cardstock brayered with Radiant Neon Electric Pink. Darice Plaid embossing folder is inked with Radiant Neon Electric blue and the layer is pressure embossed creating a blue and pink plaid pattern.  The embossed layer is attached to the card front, and the top two layers are adhered with dimensional foam adhesive.  The inside of the card is embellished with the Border of Jelly Beans (B252).

Such an adorable card! I love the pastel colors and design of Neva's project. The embossed background looks amazing! Make sure you stop by Neva's Blog to leave her some love.

Jelly Bean Time ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a Easter card featuring H284 Jelly Bean Time, B252 Border of Jelly Beans, and E890 Life is Sweeter Sentiment, available at the Great Impressions Stamps.

I stamped the adorable Jelly Bean Time on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Since I stamped the image a week before coloring, I water-colored the image using my Marvy Markers. After cutting the image down to size, layering it onto some design paper and then to my panel, I added the Life is Sweeter Sentiment, which I split up, above and below the image. I then applied Glossy Accents to the jar of Jelly Beans, and added some bling to the flowers and each corner.

It's so much fun making coordinating envelopes for my cards and the Border of Jelly Beans is a perfect match for today's card.

Don't you just love this Jelly Bean Time stamp? I know I do!

That is all for me today. I will be back next week with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions!

Jelly Bean Tag

Hi, friends!  It's time for me to share another creation using super fabulous stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  Today I have a fun jelly bean tag to share with you--perfect for those Easter treat bags!  Take a peek...

This tag uses E712 Jelly Bean Jar and B252 Border of Jelly Beans for my images.  I colored them in with Glaze and glitter gel pens from Sakura.  I added a few rhinestone flowers to tie in the flowers from the jar, as well.  Some liquid pearls were added for flower centers. :)

My sentiment is E890 Life Is Sweeter and was added to the top of the tag.  I just ADORE the fun font of this sentiment--it is SUPER darling!

Some white ribbon and cording was added to the corner of the tag for easy addition to any treat.  I hope you like my tag today--please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think!

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
