Sweet Sunday......friends

Happy Sunday peeps!!!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sweet sketch we have for you this week;

I love a square card!

I am sharing another sunflower card, see yesterdays post if you missed my other one this week.

I started with a base of White card stock and then I used a layer of Early Espresso and the DSP on here is from the Neutrals Designer pack.

I made my Sunflower by first making a Rosette using my Score Board.

I then added  piece of sandable Early Espresso cardstock for my center.

The leaves are die cut with the Flower Flair framelits and then trimmed a bit. I then ran them through the Big Shot using my Woodgrain EF.

The Sentiment is from the Garden in Bloom stamp set.

I made my little sunflowers with a punch from itty bitty punch set.

Be sure and hop over to the Sweet Sunday Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this fun sketch.

Crazy 4 Challenges.....happy birthday

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Time for a new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.

This week is a sketch:

I am seriously loving this Stampin Up set called Garden in Bloom!

I generally fall hard for the sets I can color, but this one is so fun and I love the results you get, and so fast and easy!

I used Rose Red ink for my flower and the leaves are Garden green.

I used a couple of retired items here, rose red seam binding for my bow and the sweet little Rose Red flower on the sentiment panel.

thanks for stopping by today!

Freshly Made sketches.....Happy Birthday

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at the Freshly Made Sketches Blog:

I had fun with this sketch, I did not use squares as shown in the sketch graphic, but opted for some pretty blue flowers and some circles.

I stamped two of the flowers from the Garden in Bloom set using some Marina Mist ink and then used black on the outline stamp.

I used Wild Wasabi for the leaves and some Daffodil Delight for the flower centers and the butterfly.

The sentiment is from the Hostess set called Happy Birthday, Everyone I love this big sentiment and it was perfect for this card.

The circle elements behind the flowers are made using my circle dies stacked together.

I cut two open circle and then cut them apart and tucked them in around the flowers.

I added a few basic rhinestones around the flowers and down the middle of the little butterfly.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Paper Players....Feeling Special Today

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge this week The Paper Players.

The Great Outdoors:

I guess it is no big surprise to you my blog readers that I used flowers for my outdoor card.

I am a huge fan of Black Eye Susans, and they are in bloom everywhere here right now, so that is what I decided to use on my card.

I pulled out the fun new set called Garden In Bloom. I stamped using Hello Honey, Choclate Chip and Old Olive inks.

I love that cute llittle bee in this stamp set. I covered his wings with a bit of stickles, and I also used some on the flower center.

The DSP I used on here is from the Farmers Market paper pack. 

I cut my circle element using two circle dies stacked together and held in place with the magnetic platform, which made it easy to get a uniform circle.

The sentiment is from the same set.

I think it is great for a birthday or just whenever you want to let someone know you think they are special!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stampin!!
