Happy Birthday to You for Paper Players #492

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week and I decided to pull out one of the 2020 Sale-a-Bration sets called "Happy Birthday to You". Here's LeAnne's sketch: I colored the cake with my Copic markers and used my Prismacolor pencils for the finishing details. For some reason I couldn't capture the real color of the cake - it looks more yellow than it is in real life. I fussy cut and popped the cake up on foam and backed it all with a soft grey base. Here's my... Read more →

Forever Greenery for Atlantic Hearts Sketches #369

Happy Saturday! With apologies to Brahms :-) I have "variations on a theme" for you today all using the new Forever Greenery DSP and the Forever Flourishing dies - both available in the new Stampin' UP! 2020/2021 catalog and available on June 3rd. I made my first card using the sketch across at Altantic Hearts For the most part, the DSP in the Forever Greenery set are way busier than I would normally use, but I really am trying to challenge myself to use more DSP. Consequently, I bought the Forever Greenery and the In Good Taste DSP, that is... Read more →

Stronger Together Rainbow for Addicted to CAS #185

Happy Saturday! It's the fabulous Ceal's turn to host our AddictedtoCAS challenge this week and this is her code word: I used the March SimonSaysStamp card kit stamp set called "Stronger Together" for my card. I stamped the main image on the horizontal and colored the leaves in rainbow colors. I don't know about you, but there is something so soothing about things being in rainbow colors. I have to admit that my blouses, jumpers, tshirts, etc. are all in rainbow order. Here's my card: I hope you will play along with us this week. We would love to see... Read more →

Good Morning Magnolia Tasteful Textiles for CAS on Fridays

Hi there. Happy Tuesday. I have a quick post for you tonight featuring one of my "old" favorites Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia. I paired it with my new favorite - Tasteful Textiles. I can honestly say that this is my most favorite -ever - embossing folder:-) I saw the challenge across at CAS on Fridays I stamped my Good Morning Magnolia flower and colored it very lightly. I embossed a piece of card stock with the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder and mounted that not the base of the card. I die-cut the magnolia and popped that up on fun... Read more →

Gill Friends for Inkspirational and Festive Friday

Happy Sunday. Again! :-) As it is a cold, miserable, wet, windy day, I decided it was time to go huddle in my craft room and play along with some challenges. The two challenges across at Inkspirational and Festive Friday had me making a shaker card along with a little punny sentiment! For my inso list I went with fish, shaker element and pun sentiment. I inked up an old set from My Favorite Things called Gill Friends. I stamped and colored two of the fish and some seaweed. I fussy cut them and arranged them around a stitched die-cut... Read more →
