Dynamic Duos....Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

I took some time  out of my Sunday afternoon to make a card! Yea me!!!

I took a look at the challenge this week on the Dynamic Duos Blog and decided to try my hand with the the colors:

I love this new Stampin Up set called "Regarding Dahlias", so I pulled it out for this card.

I stamped the flower onto pear pizzazz card stock with Versmark and embossed using wome white embossing powder. I then used a couple of Copic Markers to color it. I really like how it turned out, altho I am not sure dahlias come in green.

The base of the card is Garden Green card stock and then a layer of white and then another piece of Pear Pizzaz. I embossed the "X's" across the bottom of the Pear Pizzazz with one of Needlepoint Border EF and added the Sentiment, which comes from the Four You stamp set.

I cut out the colored flower and added some dimensionals to the back before adding it to the base.

Clean and Simple!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Dynamic Duos.....Hello

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge this week on the Dynamic Duos Blog:

I was a bit late hoping on the band wagon with this set, the Stampin Up Mosaic Madness with it's matching punch. This kind of stamp is not my favorite, but I have seen so many pretty cards made with it so I decided to give it a try. I love these colors and I think my card turned out pretty nice.

I used the Mosaic Embossing Folder on whisper white for the BG. I added some flowers punched with on of the Itty Bitty Punch pack punches and alot of bling in the way of some basic rhinestones.

The sentiment is from the Stampin Up Regarding Dahlias stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Sunday.......Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!!

I am so excited to share a card with you today, it felt so good to sit down and stamp on Friday, it had been awhile and I could tell, it took me too long to make this card, but I could not let this week go by without making a card, I love being apart of this sketch team, I think it is the first team I was ever asked to be a part of and I am still amazed that I am a part of a team of such incredibly talented ladies. I am getting mushy as I type this, I really don't feel worthy, but......anyway you didn't come here to hear me being emotional..LOL, so onto my card and the "Sweet Sketch" Karen has for us this week:

I pulled out some of my new Stampin Up goodies, a new floral set that I LOVE, called "Too Kind" and also new DSP from the Modern Melody and Birthday Basics

The flowers are a two step stamp and I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Raspberry Ripple on Very Vanilla card stock.

The base of the card is Basic Black and then a layer of Very Vanilla and all the DSP is matted with black card stock.

The sentiment is from the hostess set called "Simply Sketch" and I used two of the Very Vintage Buttons and I dyed a bit of the white Bakes Twine using my Raspberry Ripple ink pad and added it to the buttons. 

Be sure and check out what the rest of the lovelies did with this sketch:

Sweet Sunday........Hey There

Hello Peeps!!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day.

Here is the Sweet Sketch Karen has for us this week:

Since I am still waiting for my large SU order to arrive I pulled out a fave set of mine the Stampin Up Stippled Blossom. I paired it up with some Gingham Garden DSP and some Melon Mambo card stock.

I stamped the roses with Melon Mambo and the leaves with Old Olive ink (stamping off once for the base stamp and full strength for the top stamp.)

The sentiment is from my first Paper Pumpkin kit. I added some silver thread across the middle and some basic pearls on the scallops and the top corners of the card. 

And a little peek of the inside:

Today we are excited to welcome two fabulous ladies to out Sweet Sunday Sketch team,

The amazingly talented Jodi Collins, (I am a huge fan of her work and she is the sweetest girl) and the equally amazing Lisa Henke, her work is always over the top!

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team has made with this sweet sketch:
