Hello

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the sketch this week at 

CAS(E) this sketch:

I decided to pull out the Lovely Lily stamp set with matching dies.

I really like this flower. It colors up so pretty.

I stamped my flower with Versmark and embossed with white embossing powder onto

thick Whisper White card stock. I also embossed a couple of leaves he same way.

I love this prety gingham paper from the Pleased as Punch pack and knew I wanted

to use it again, So I colored the flower using my Blushing Bride ink pad and Aqua Painter.

I used Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

I die cut my little border scallop points using a die from the Lily Pad dies.

I added it under the edge of my flower panel with glue.

The flower is added with dimensionals, and then two small strips of the pretty DSP.

My sentiment is from the To A Wild Rose stamp set and is stamped and embossed in white on black card stock.

I fussy cut it out. 

(Seriously it took me a few tries to get this cut out were it looked nice.

It is small so a bit challenging.....definitely "fussy"!!!! LOL! )

 

I used a base of thick Whisper White and then another piece of whisper white that I matted with a piece of Blushing Bride card stock.

Of course, the flower panel is white as well, keeping it all CAS.

I finished with just three small rhinestones.

Inspired by Thank You

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today's card share is made using the challenge at 

Inspired By Challenge

I took my inspiration from the pretty patchwork but went with a 

different color pallett.

My husband recently made me this awesome wall hanging from wood and I wanted to try and duplicate the pattern

The DSP I used to "piece" my quilt block is from the InColor 6x6 pack.

I used Seaside Spray and Pretty Peacock from the pack.

I cut 1 inch squares and then cut the squares  diagonally and glued my pieces to a scrap of 

Whisper White card stock. I used Whisper White for my neutral instead of the gray in the wood piece.

I used the Tufted Embossing Folder on the piece after it was all glued together. 

I think it gives it a quilted look.

I mated this with a piece of Seaside Spray card stock and added a Seaside ribbon bow across the bottom. This is then mounted it to my base which is Thick Whisper White card stock.

My sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set. I masked off all but the large "Thank You" with 

 a couple of pieces of post it note before inking with Pretty Peacock ink.

 

I added a Pretty Peacock Faceted Gem to the center and it was done.

Hello Baby

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is one I made using a couple of challenges.

I used the challenge this week at The Paper Players:

Which is a Clean And Simple Woodland Critters Challenge

I only had a couple of choices when looking through my stamp sets for a "woodland" 

type critter, I found the cute Fable Friend stamp set. 

I love this set and used it so much last spring.

I also used the sketch this week at Fusion Card Challenge

I just used the sketch, it was perfect for a Clean And Simple style card.

 

I stamped my bunny first, with Black Stazon ink on thick Whisper White card stock. 

I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads, using basic gray and Blushing Bride.

I fussy cut her out and put aside to do the rest of the card.

I made my Scallop Stitched Square using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

I used the largest Scallop Stitched Rectangle and ran it back through my Big shot to

create the Square by cutting off the bottom part.

he bunny is then added to the square with dimensionals.

The base of my card is Smoky Slate.

I then used another smaller piece of Smoky Slate and embossed with the Subtle EF.

I matted that with some Whisper White and added it to the base.

The image panel was added next.

The sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set.

I stamped with Basic Gray ink and used another of the

Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut out.

I cut another matching piece with Blushing Bride card stock and snipped it in two pieces and

added it to my sentiment piece.

 

I finished up the Clean and Simple design with a few little basic rhinestones.

I designed these to hold the Little Debbie Valentine Heart Shaped Cakes.

I used the Heartfelt Bundle along with the matching products, the Heart Doilies, the Faceted Gems, the satin ribbon and beautiful matching DSP.

These are really simple to make:

Start with a piece of card stock that measures:

7-1/2 X 8-1/2

Score on the 7-1/2 inch side @ 1 inch and 6-1/2 inch

rotate and score on the 8-1/2 inch side @

2-1/2, 3-1/2, 6 and 7.

Below is a pic of my template that shows the scores and cuts
