Hello Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge this week at 

Fab Friday. 

This time is a great color challenge:

I used the new Ornate Garden stamp set for my floral image. 

I stamped the image twice so I could color and cut out the part I wanted to use.

 I colored using all of the above colors.

The floral image was stamped with Black Stazon ink on to Thick Whisper White

card stock. I colored using my Aqua Painter.

 

I used a piece of  Mango Melody DSP from the Brights 6 x 6 pack.

I used a couple of the Stitched So Sweetly dies to layer my flowers on and for the sentiment.

The sentiment come from the Under My Umbrella stamp set and is stamped with Daffodil Delight ink.

I die cut a few leaves with Vellum using a die from the retired Wonderful Romance Bundle.

I tucked them in and around my flowers.

I finished up with some basic pearls.

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.

Hey There, Pumpkin

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the fun Harvest Hello Hellos Bundle

along with a some leaves from the Gathered Leaves Dies.

I had an idea to add some flowers to the pumpkins after seeing some home decor pumpkins with designs on them at a local store.

I went looking through my stamps to find something that would work and

found this cluster of flowers in the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I stamped the flowers first with Versmark onto some Pumpkin Pie card stock

and embossed them with white embossing powder. I did the same with the

pumpkin outline from the Harvest Hellos set, centering my flowers in the middle of the pumpkin.

I  used the matching punch to punch out my pretty decorative pumpkins.

I embossed the stem in white on Crumb Cake and the leaf in white on Old Olive card stock.

 

The base of my card is thick Whisper White and then I used another 

layer of thick white and embossed it with the Subtle EF.

I added another layer using Crumb Cake and it is embossed with the Subtle EF as well.

I then added my leaves and pumpkins. The leaves are glued directly to the Crumb Cake piece and the 

Pumpkins are added with dimensionals.

 I slipped a piece of Crumb Cake under the edge of the bottom pumpkin 

and added some Twine and a bow.

 

My sentiment is from the Harvest Hellos stamp set and is stamped onto some scrap white.

I then cut it apart and added it to my card with dimensionals,

This layer is added to the Thick Whisper White base with dimensionals. 

I added three pumpkin pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack to finish it up.

Hello Fun Fold

Happy Thursday Peeps

Today's card share is a fun Double or maybe I should say Triple Fold Card.

Yesterday I saw a video on a really cute fun fold card and 

thought I would give it a try.

I, of course, had to change it up some and I added my front to a regular top fold

card making mine a Triple Fun Fold.

I used Calypso Coral for my base and all the DSP on here is from the 

Bird Ballad Designer Series pack.

On the front I used some flowers from the Free As A Bird stamp set along with 

the Stitched Nested Label Dies that come in the bundle to make

my sentiment piece.

The "Hello" is stamped with Black Memento ink onto Whisper White card 

stock and used the dies to cut it out along with the size up die using Pool Party card stock.

I colored the flowers with Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz inks.

 

The next fold is made using Pool Party card stock and another 

piece of the Bird Ballad Designer Paper.

I strategically cut my square to get the flowers and bird image I wanted.

 

Next up is the inside of the first two folds.

I stamped another sentiment from the Free As A Bird Set with

Black Memento ink and added a couple more flowers and leaves.

This is mounted to the Calypso Coral Top Fold Card base.

 

This is the inside of the card.

I added more DSP on the inside at the top and botom.

I hen decoraed he inside with a couple more flowers and leaves.

All the flowers got rhinestone centers and I also added a small white twine bow to the front.

I had fun making this one, may try another one soon.

How about you? You wan to make one?

Everything you need is listed below and 

linked to my online store.

I would love to be your demonstrator,

let me know if you need anything.

Thanks so much!

and  

Just Add Ink 

has a pretty color challenge this week:

I am again using my fave stamp set, Good Morning Magnolia. A mus have in 

my opinion.

I stamped the flower with black stazon onto a piece of thick whisper white.

I love using the Stamparatus for this, because it is easy to re-ink and stamp again if you don't

get a clear image the first time

I colored the flower with Flirty Flamingo, and the leaves with Granny Apple Green.

I used the matching die to cut out the Magnolia.

 

The base of my card is thick Whisper White. My card is a 5 x 5 inch square.

My next layer is Soft Seafoam  card stock.

I stamped my sentiment and then

embossed with the Subtle EF.

Next layer is a piece of Flirty Flamingo

that is embossed with the Corrugated EF.

My flower is then added with dimensionals.

 

I finished up with a few little rhinestones from the Noble  Peacock pack.

Freshly Made....Hello

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!

I know Magnolia's are not this color, but what the heck, I wanted to use purple and I like it...lol!!

I stamped my flower image with Black Stazon ink onto thick

Whisper White card stock and colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I used Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz and just a bit of Daffodil Delight.

 

I used the maching die to cut out the big flower.

The base of my card is thick Whisper White and the center elements are made up of

Pear Pizzazz stitched scallop, Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP, and Highland Heather card stock.

The Stitched Scallop die is from the Be Mine  dies.

My sentiment comes from the Magnolia stamp set.

Hello Friend

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today's card share features the sketch this week at 

Freshly Made Sketches.

I really love the You're Inspiring set and I used it to try and duplicate one of the 

daffodils in my yard.

I love the white with just a hint of yellow and green. 

Really hard to capture the beauty of it and

of course,  my card doesn't really come close either.

But I kept it light and just added a hint of daffodil delight and a touch of pear pizzazz.

The leaves and stems are colored with Pear Pizzazz as well.

 

I used Soft Sky to add some blue around the flowers. 

The DSP I used comes from the Needlepoint Nook pack.

I added a scallop die strip using some So Saffron card stock.

I used some white twine pulled from the Flax ribbon to wrap around a tie a bow.

 

I used the Well Written framelits and matching stamps for my Hello Friend sentiment.

I finished with a few sticky sequins.

Thanks for coming by.

SUO....Hello Beautiful

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today brings a new challenge at the SUO Challenges.

We have a fun color challenge for you this time.

Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green and Pool Party 

with the optional color of Mango Melody.

I opted out of the optional color and just went with the 

Lovely Lipstick, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green.

I pulled out my Climbing Rose set to begin my card.

Let's face it, if I could make a flower type card every time I stamp I would be in heaven. LOL!

I stamped my image and colored with lovely lipstick for the flowers and granny apple green for the leaves. I used Pool Party around he flower image 

I used my new Rectangle Stitched dies to cut out my panel.

 

I also stamped a couple of Butterflies from the Butterfly Gala set and used the matching punch to cut them out.

I colored these two little guys with pool party and granny apple green.  

T he base of my card is Lovely Lipstick card stock.

Then another layer of Lovely Lipstick that I embossed with the Lace Dynamic EF.

I added the image rectangle to my base piece with dimesionals.

I cut a strip of Basic Black to emboss my sentiment on to.

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala set.

 

I stamped and fussy cut out  a few of the leaves to add over the edges of my design.

I then finished up with a few basic rhinestones. 

Be sure to head over to the SUO Challenge Blog, we would love it if you joined us.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Beautiful

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today's card features the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I pulled my Lovely Lattice stamp set to use.

I stamped the image onto some thick whisper white card stock and fussy cut out just a portion of it to use on my card.

 

I used Calypso Coral and some Daffodil Delight on the flowers.

The leaves are colored with Granny Apple Green and I colored in between some I couldn't cut out with a little Pool Party.

The base of my card is thick whisper white card stock.

I then used another piece of thick whisper white that I embossed with the Basket Weave EF.

I die cut the scallop edge pieces with black card stock. 

This scallop edge is in the Be Mine Stitched Framelits, and I love it!

 

I glued the embossed piece directly to my card base.

The piece of black gingham DSP is from the Botanical Butterfly pack and is a freebie in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I need another pack because I have used most of the black gingham already!

The flowers are added to the card with dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

 I stamped it onto some scrap whisper white with Black Memento ink and fussy cut around it.

It is then added to the card with dimensionals as well.

The gold pearls are some I bought at a local craft store.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Paper Players......hello

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

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

I started my card with a base of Thick Whisper White card stock.

I then used some water color paper to create my background piece,

I used Melon Mambo and Island Indigo ink pads and a lot of water and just swirled together and let it run. I then dried with my heat gun and and a bunch of droplets of water and let those set for a bit then dabbed off which is what creates the light circle spots. Love that cool effect.

When I first sat down to make my card I had thought I would use a flower of some sort for the circle element on this sketch, (no surprise there huh? lol)

But in the end I did not like what I was doing so I decided to use a butterfly instead.

I die cut my butterfly from Melon Mambo card stock.

The hello is a die cut, non SU.

I used some silver glimmer paper for the other flag element.

I covered the whole water colored piece  with my wink of stella pen, it has a pretty little glimmer, you can kinda see it in this pic:

Thanks for stopping by today!
