Ballon Bouquet and Ticker Tape for Festive Friday #100

Happy Friday I cannot believe it but Festive Friday is celebrating 100 INSPO challenges! How awesome is that :-) It was a great excuse for me to get out my Balloon Bouquet stamps and dies and my Ticker Tape background stamp from The Greetery. So, our inspo list for today is: I'm making cards for the seniors and they have asked for birthday cards, so this was a perfect challenge to make a card! I went with a muted palette of gold, white and black. I began by stamping and embossing the Ticker Tape background with gold embossing powder. I... Read more →

Botanicuts Tulip for CAS MixUp

Happy Tuesday. I have a quick post for you today featuring one of The Greetery Botanicuts dies called Tulip. I was inspired to create this card when I visited the CAS MixUp site. It's a technique challenge and one that I generally don't do too well with! I always love the look of loose watercoloring but really battle with it. I constantly want to treat the paint on the paper like markers... so this really was tough for me! I started with a piece of Arches cold pressed water color paper and die-cut the individual elements of the tulip using... Read more →

Bubble Chicks for Atlantic Hearts Sketches #454

Happy Monday I have a very quick post for you tonight. I wanted to share a card I made using Stamping Bella's Bubble Chicks. This stamp set just makes me laugh! This card is another one that is being sent to the Seniors. I was inspired to create this card by the new sketch across at AtlanticHearts. In order to make the three chicks with their bubbles fit into the sketch, I had to turn it on the horizontal. I stamped the chicks, colored them, and then die-cut them with my Simon Says Stamps stitched squares. I added them to... Read more →

Curio Summer Finds for Less is More

Happy Tuesday! I'm sharing a card I made for the challenge across at less is more this week. The challenge was to CASE the card on their website. You can see the card we have to CASE right here. If you visited the LIM site, you will see that I was attracted to the colors (primarily oranges and greens) and the way the focal image was broken up into rectangles. I die-cut three rectangles using my new Curio Divider die from The Greetery and paired it with the dragonfly and moth dies form the Curio Summer Finds dies. Also from... Read more →

Seaside Treasures for Paper Players #552

Happy Sunday! It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and this is her theme: Well...... because I try to create my challenge cards ahead of schedule, I've ended up with two cards in consecutive weeks that use the same stamp set!!! Mind you, this week the colors are different :-) I stamped and fussy cut the shell elements and adhered them to the base with foam tape. I used the background stamp to help anchor the shells and added the sentiment. Here's my card: I used a purple ink for the sentiment as I... Read more →
