Memorable Birthday

 

Hello Peeps!!

Again I must apologize for no updates as of late.

No excuses, just not motivated to blog.

Today's card share I made last week for a color challenge I am in with some fellow demos.

I used the Breathtaking Bouquet, so sad it is on  the retiring list, you should 

grab this one while you can. 

I used several of the colors in the challenge, we need to use at least three.

I used Lovely Lipstick, Smoky Slate, Garden Green, Whisper White, and Pear Pizzazz.

 

Some of the leaves on my card came from the To a Wild Rose stamp set.

I did a lot of fussy cutting of images to use on my card. 

I don't mind a bit of fussy cutting, I find it relaxing. 

My sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp set.

I used a die from the Ornate Layers Dies, die cut with Thick Whisper White.

I love this die cut panel, so pretty.

Seaside Ornate Birthday

 

Hello Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made for a color challenge that I missed posting for.

Story of my life lately....lol!

The color challenge was So Saffron, Seaside Spray and Gray or a neutral of you choice.

I love Seaside Spray, it is probably my favorite in color ever.

I used the beautiful Ornate Garden stamp set and dies!

I watercolored the floral arrangement using the above colors and then fussy cut it out to use on my card.

 

The base of the card is Seaside Spray and then a layer of white that was die cut with one of the dies from the Ornate Layers dies.

I added it to the card with dimensionals. 

The floral layer is then added with dimensionals as well.

The sentiment is from the Label Me Bold stamp set.

I finished up with a beautiful bow and basic pearls.

Celebrating You

 

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I made using the Birthday Jubilee Bundle.

I just got this bundle recently, I love the beautiful dies that come with the set.

I made two similar cards in different colors.

One is using Night of Navy and one with Lovely Lipstick.

I had saw a card similar card to the Night of Navy card on Pinterest and I changed mine up

a bit and then made the lovely lipstick one as well.

Here is the card I was inspired by:

Pinterest Inspiration 

I used the layout and colors but changed it up by using some heat embossing of my flowers and adding another color to each as well.

 

On the Lovely Lipstick card I added Blushing Bride flowers to the floral arrangements.

 

This night of Navy one uses Balmy Blue in the floral image, both have Pear Pizzazz leaves.

Friends Forever

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!

Today I have a fun card to share made using the Under My Umbrella Bundle.

This is a fun set with a matching punch! 

I made this a couple of weeks back for a private color challenge that I participate in with several fellow demos.

We must use at least three of the colors. On this one I believe I managed to get all the colors listed on my card.

 

The DSP is from the Please as Punch pack and is perfect for the umbrella set.

I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies as well.

My sentiment is stamped with Versmark onto some Night of Navy card stock and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Miss You

 

Hello Peeps!!!

I am still here and still stamping a bit here and there.

I have been a very unmotivated blogger as of late.

I apologize for the time laspe between postings, I will try to do a bit better.

With all that is going on in the world and worrying about everything and missing my family, it is taking a toll on us all. I hope you all are holding up and doing what is best for your families and loved ones.

Today's card is one I made a while back. I love the Ornate Garden

Suite of products.

You all know I love a floral image to color. You know I will be using this image a lot.

I stamped with Black Stazon and  watercolored with my ink pads and Aqua Painter.

 

I fussy cut the image out and then embossed using the Subtle EF.

The base of he card is Thick Whisper White card stock.

I used a layer of Pool Party and

then another piece of whisper white that I embossed with the 

Brick and Mortar EF.

My sentiment comes from the Well Written dies.

I die cut each word three times and layered and glued them together.

Ornate Hello

 

Hello Peeps!!

Here I am popping in with a late post. I am still unmotivated to do my blog updates.

I have several cards made but can't seem to find time to get them here.

Well, I have time I guess, but have been busy working around the house, inside and out.

Trying to keep my mind occupied and off the current state of the country.

I colored this floral image from the Ornate Garden Suite a while back and pulled it out to make

this card. I love this with a black.

The DSP is from the Golden Honey Specialty pack and I used one of the Border Dies for the 

lacey edge.

 

I used some Gold Faceted gems for my final touch on this fairly flat/easy mailable card.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this project.

Posy Thanks

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!

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

Freshly Made Sketches:

My card started out to be square as in the sketch but I ended up cutting it down on the sides, because I thought it looked better this way.

I used the pretty crocus flowers in the Easter Promise stamp set.

I colored with Purple Posy and Old Olive inks.

 

I fussy cut the flowers out to use on my card.

The DSP I used is from the InColor 6x6 pack.

I also use the Brick  and Mortar EF .

Thinking of You

 

Happy Friday Peeps!

Sorry I have been a bad blogger this week.

 I have cards to share but I am so unmotivated to do my blog updates.

This is a fun card I made recently using the Painted Poppies stamp set.

I stamped the flower heads and leaf images with Black Stazon ink. I used thick whisper white card stock and colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads. 

I used Real Red and Pear Pizzazz inks.

 

As you can see I put stems on my poppies. There is not stems in the set, I drew in these and then outlined with a journaling pen.

Cherry Blossom Birthday

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!

Today I have a Clean and Simple Birthday card to share using the challenge

at The Paper Players:

A fun Tic-Tac-Toe challenge.

I went right across the middle, die cut, spring and birthday.

 

I used the Forever Blossom stamp set along with the Cherry Blossom Dies for my card.

I stamped the image with Black Stazon onto Thick Whisper White cardstock and then colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads. I used Flirty Flaming and Pear Pizzazz ink pads.

 

The base of the card is Thick Whisper White.

I used another piece of Thick Whisper White and stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set with Black Memento ink. Next I embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder

 and used a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut out the embossed piece.

This panel is added to the base with dimensionals.

The flower die cut is also added with dimensionals.

 

I finished with three gold sequins that is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.
