Happy Happy Everything

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using a color challenge .

Our colors were Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, Whisper White Crumb Cake and Bermuda Bay

Pick a minimum of three.

I used all colors listed but he Bermuda Bay.

I am obsessed with the Timeless Tulip Bundle.

I can't seem to put it away.

 

I stamped several Tulips using Petal Pink and leaves using Granny Apple Green.

I used the matching punch to cut them out.

I mounted with dimensionals my tulips onto a circle of Crumb Cake card stock.

I added the leaves in around the flowers and glued in place.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and the DSP is from the Brights 6x6 pack.

I added a stitched scallop strip using a die from the Stitched Be Mine dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set with Black Memento ink onto Whisper White card stock.

 

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

and a small white twine bow.

Hello Spring

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today's card features the sketch this week at 

Freshly Made Sketches.

I love the ducks in the Fable Friend stamp set and that was

my jumping off point for my card.

I stamped the three ducks three times onto some thick whisper white

and colored with my aqua painter

I used Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather.

 

I fussy cut out each one and added them with dimensionals to my die cut circles.

I then added the circles to my DSP with dimensionals as well.

The DSP is from the Gingham Gala pack.

I matted my DSP with a piece of Highland Heather card stock.

 

My sentiment comes from the retired Hello Easter stamp set.

I added a few little sequins and rhinestones to finish it up.

I always finish the inside of my card:

 

I don't always add a stamped image, unless I have something extra, this large duck was 

originally intended to add to the front when I was first imagining my card but it didn't work out so inside she went. :)

Thanks for coming by!

Color Challenge....Because I Care

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

This color combo is so pretty, pear pizzazz, regal rose and so saffron. They are so springy!!! So I decided to make some daffodils, I saw this on some one's blog recently and now I can't find it, if you know let me know so I can give them credit and a link. The flowers are made from the Stampin' Up Growing Green stamp set. I stamped the flower onto some very vanilla card stock and colored in with so saffron and daffodil delight ink. The centers are 1/2 inch circles of so saffron and the are crumpled and pleated and then added to the center with a bit of mono glue.

The leaves behind the daffodils come from the Just Believe stamp set and the sentiment is from the Because I Care Hostess set. I used pear Pizzazz for my base and followed that with some very vanilla and the DS paper is from the Hostess prints pack. I added some regal rose card stock that was embossed with the square lattice and the perfect dots EF. I matted both with very vanilla card stock.

I added some regal rose ribbon and crochet trim ribbon across the middle and some basic pearls for accents in the corners and centers of the flowers.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

WT314....Sending Springtime Smiles

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Today I am sharing a card I made for the Ways to Use It Challenge on splitcoast. The challenge was to Use a smile, something/anything that is smiling or use the word "smile" anywhere on your project.

I decided to use the sentiment from the Easter Blossoms stamp set. I also wanted to use the Nature Walk stamp set and the cool birdcage stamp that is in it. I used the flowers and colored them with my aqua painter and some old olive and bravo burgundy ink. I stamped the birdcage on a separate piece of card stock and cut it out and added it over the flowers. Looks kinda cute nestled in amongst the flowers huh?

The DS paper is another sneak peek if some new paper that will be available soon. I used very vanilla and chocolate chip card stock as well. I combined some very vanilla and crumb cake seam binding ribbon to make my bow and then finished it of with an antique brad. I added some basic pearls in the top corners.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Free 4 All.....Easter Wishes

TGIF Peeps!!! I was up and out early this morning, had a nice long walk and ran a couple of errands. It is nice to be feeling better!

Today's card share is made with the Free 4 All Challenge: How Does Your Garden Grow today on splitcoaststampers. I went for my Stampin' Up Abundant Hope stamp set. I love the daffodil stamp in that set! I stamped several onto some white card stock with Memento London Fog ink. I colored them with various copics. I then cut them all out to add to my card.

The base is Crumb cake card stock and the designer series paper is from the SAB Ice Cream Parlor DSP. Love this pretty little pumpkin pie sheet. I made the image piece out of more crumb cake and whisper white. The white was embossed with the dot folder and my big shot. I then tied a pretty daffodil delight satin ribbon and bow around the bottom of the panel. I added my flowers to the piece with dimensionals and tucking the bottoms under the ribbon.




The sentiment on here comes from the Stampin' Up Something to Celebrate stamp set which is a level 2 hostess set from the mini. I used the large oval and scallop oval punches. I added some basic pearls to the corners and the sentiment piece.

I have daffodils just like these blooming in my yard right now, they are so pretty and some of my favorite spring flowers!

Well, that is all from me today, thanks fro stopping by and be sure and come by in the morning for my OCC challenge sample.

HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

SSSC108...Birthday

GOOD MORNING PEEPS!!! It's Sunday which means it is time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

This is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week:




I flipped the sketch to fit the image I wanted to use. Spring is definitely here in Southwest MO, we can still have some cool temps, but my daffodils are up and blooming a sure sign to me that spring is here. I LOVE daffodils, so I had to pull out this retired stamp from Stampin' Up, Abundant Hope. I stamped the flowers onto some White card stock with some Momento tuxedo black ink and colored them in with my copics. I like the traditional daffodils but my favorite are the ones with orange centers and also the ones with the pink centers. So I colored these to mimic some growing in my yard right now.

The base of y card is made with Crumb Cake and then I followed that with some pumpkin pie and then the DS paper is from the SAB Ice Cream Parlor paper pack. I then used my circle cutter to cut a 4-1/2 inch circle of crumb cake. I embossed this with two different EF. I used the Vintage Wall and the Square Lattice Embossing folders. I added the pumpkin pie satin ribbon for the circle element on the sketch. I added a button threaded with some twine to the bow. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I added some silver pearls to the corners and called it done!

SFYTT Happy Easter Tulips

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!

Today's card is one I made with Jen's Sketch For You to Try.

I have been seeing these tulips all around that are made with the wing from the large two step bird punch and I wanted to give them a try myself. They are so much fun and cute. Just punch three wings and sponge the edges and layer together to make the tulip. I used the leaf/branch from the same punch for the stems and leaves. Now, I know, in nature the tulip does not have this kind of leaves, but I took a bit of artistic license with this because I wanted to use the punched leaves.

I used pretty in pink, so saffron, certainly celery and almost amethyst for the colors on my card. The DS paper is from the "Tea Party" paper pack. I had really overlooked that pack in the past, but I finally ordered some and I really love the colors, very springy!!!

The sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set. I wish I had a "Welcome Spring" or something like that sentiment in that set, this card really needs a Happy springy sentiment, but it could be a pretty spring birthday card or a Mother's Day card or whatever.

I used the scallop trim edge punch and added some pretty pink checked ribbon at the base of the tulips. The sketch had an accent in the top corner of the circle element so I added some of the pretty in pink satin ribbon on a spiral clip for that.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

PPA Spring Challenge Cards

TGIF Peeps!!

Today's cards are a CASE of mine own card seen here. I made that card back in January. I was thinking spring then, and still am!!! LOL!

When I saw the challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts was a Spring Theme, I knew I wanted to make some more of that card with the beautiful daffodils in the "Abundant Hope" SU stamp set. Love, love, love those flowers and they are one of the first signs of spring, mine are coming up and they make me smile every time I see their little green stems and buds.




The Sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" Stamp set. I used the Fleur-de-Lis edge punch and the buttons are from my stash.




Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

MTSC63 Happy Easter

Happy Wednesday Peeps!! Hope your week is going well so far!

Today I am sharing a card I made with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. What a great sketch huh? I am sure I will use this one again and again.

I love the daffodils in the "Abundant Hope" set, they are so pretty and perfect for water coloring. My card base is a 5 inch square. I used so saffron card stock for matting the DS paper, which comes from the "Tall Tales" paper pack. I used my oval nesties to cut out the main image, I left the nestie in place to do a bit of light sponging around the flowers with some bashful blue ink. The sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set. I stamped it with black stazon onto some scrap watercolor paper and cut it out. I rounded the corners of one end and used the edge of the curly label punch on the other end. I pierced a bit under the sentiment and mounted it to the main image panel with some dimensionals. I added some silver sticky rhinestones on the corners of the second layer and the end of the sentiment piece. I used old olive grosgrain ribbon around the card under the flower panel.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
