Fusion Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the challenge at 

Fusion Card Challenge:

I just used the sketch part of the challenge.

I pulled out my SAB Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and the matching Small Bloom punch.

I stamped the flowers using Bermuda Bay ink, stamping off once to get a lighter shade for some of them.

I stamped the leaves using Mint Macaron, stamping off on these as well to get two shades for the leaves.

 

The base of the card is thick Whisper White and then a layer of Crumb Cake card stock.

I then used another piece of whisper white and embossed the bottom half with the Coastal Weave EF. 

I arranged he flowers around my stamped sentiment which is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

I stamped with Black Memento ink onto a die cut from the Painted Labels Dies.

 

I finished ups with a few Sequins and twine from the Metallic Baker's Twine and Sequin pack.

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.

Tulip Happy Birthday

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is one I made last week when I was getting back in the groove.

I do like how it came out. 

I love the new Timeless Tulips stamp set with it's matching punch.

I used a couple of challenges while making this card, first for the colors I used he challenge at the Paper Players, but it ran out before I could post.

 I also used the Fusion Card Challenge:

I choose to just use the sketch.

My DSP on here is the Golden Honey Specialty paper from the

 SAB catalog.

 

I stamped my tulips using Poppy Parade and Rich Razzleberry. 

The leaves and stems are stamped with Old Olive

I used he Coastal Weave Embossing Folder on here as well. I am

obsessing over this pretty Embossing Folder, it is so pretty!

My sentiment is Peaceful Moments stamp set and the die cut it is

embossed with white on is from the Painted Labels Dies.

 

I finished the card out with a double bow made with the new Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon and a few little rhinestones from the From My Heart Faceted Gems.

Thinking of You

 

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

My card today was one I made using a couple of challenges.

First up is the Just Add Ink  challenge, Embossing.

 and

 

Fusion Card Challenge 

My intention was to use the sketch and make a few "rainbow" colored flowers.

As you can see I strayed from that a bit, I even when off the rails as far as the sketch.

So not sure, not rainbow for sure and the sketch is there but.....

The flowers are stamped and colored with my aqua painter. I used Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight along with Wild Wasabi for the leaves.

 

 

The flowers are from the Tea Together Set and the sentiment comes from the Wonderful Romance set.

I embossed the Background piece using the Lace Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

The piece of DSP is from the Classic Garage pack.

 

I finished up with a few sequins from the Gingham Gala Sequins 

and rhinestones in the yellow flower centers.

Thanks for coming by!

Christmas Wishes

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge at Fusion Card Challenge.

I took my inspiration from the photo, the red and white.

I told you all in an earlier post about my love for Poinsettias and how I like to use them on a few of my Christmas cards each year.

This card was a real booger, and I was determined to make it work, I couldn't/wouldn't stop.

 

The poinsettia was what I started with and what gave me the most grief.....lol! 

I used the dies from the Detailed Poinsettia thinlits.

I die cut the flower a few times and went to work putting it together, that was where I had my issues, the glue was just messy. UGH! and I could not get my adhesive sheets to work, but I was determined and eventually got it together.

The rest of the card is fairly simple and straightforward.

 I used the basket weave EF and I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

I added a few pieces of greenery around the flower and finished with a few red rhinestones.

Some cards come together easily and others try your patience, but in the end I like the results.

Thanks for stopping by today!
