Sweet Sunday...happy birthday

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Here is our fab sketch this week;

This is a weekend of celebration in my household, it is my wedding Anniversary, 39 years and on the very same day it is our daughters birthday, she turned 29 this year. Yes she was born on our 10th Anniversary. How cool is that?

So this is the card I made for her birthday, she is a pink lover and I am a flower lover so I just went with it! 

The flower is made from the Stampin Up Crazy About You stamp set.

The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set, as is the sqiggly line below it.

I made a bit of a smudge when stamping my sentiment, so I covered it up with s little perfect dot., can't even see it now huh?

Be sure and head over to the Sweet Sunday Blog to see what the rest of the girsl did with this fun sketch!

Thanks for stopping by today!

The Card Concept....We are BACK

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

The Card Concept Challenge is back from our Summer break.

We have a great challenge to kick us off: Daisies

Here is the inspiration photo:

I loved the colors and flowers in this piece so that was where I drew my inspiration .

I started with a base of white and then a layer of Pool Party card stock. I then embossed another piece of white with the Brick Wall EF.

I used my Oval Thinlits with Pool Party and White card stock

The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set.

I made my pretty yellow flower using the Crazy About You stamp set.

I stamped it three times using Daffodil Delight onto whisper white card stock and fussy cut it out.

I layered it up and added a pretty pearl in the center.

The leaves come from the Summer Silhouettes stamp set. I stamped them with Wild Wasabi ink and cut out and added them around the flower.

I tucked in a bit of silver thread and a few Perfect Accents finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by today be sure to hop over to the Card Concept Challenge Blog to be inspired by the rest of the team.

Freshly Made Sketches.....thank you

Hello Peeps!!!

Popping in her quickly to share a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

I love this sketch and you all know I had to use a flower for that circle element!!!

I pulled out a fave set at the moment, the Stampin Up Crazy About You. I have been obsessed with it lately! That layered flower just makes me happy!!

I started with a base of the new thick Whisper White card stock. I then pulled out my Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack and decided to use a Smoky Slate piece.

I then stamped my flower using Blackberry Bliss ink onto some regular whisper white card stock three times. I then fussy cut it out and layered it up with some dimensionals. I stamped the leaf image twice with old olive and cut it out as well

The thank you sentiment comes from the Tin of Cards stamp set.

I added a Perfect Accent dot to the middle of my flower

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Sweet Sunday..Congrats to You

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch!

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

I went simple with my card. I used the Timeless Love stamp set and stamped it a couple of times once on my circle and then another on some scrap. I used some of the new thick whisper white, really loving this new cardstock.

I colored with my aqua painter and ink pads, I used Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Pumpkin pie, Old olive and Early espresso inks.

I fussy cut out the flower portion and added it over the base with some dimensionals.

The congrats to you comes from the Tin of Cards stamp set

The base of the Card is basic Black and then a layer of White. Then I used another layer of Black that I embossed with the Lucky Stars EF.

I used a strip of Silver Glimmer under the main piece.

The DSP here is from the Everyday Chic pack.

I covered the flowers with some crystal effect for some added shine, I then used a few White Perfect Accents to finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to head over to the Sweet Sunday Blog for even more inspiration using this sweet sketch!

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Freshly Made Sketches....Birthday Butterfly

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at the  Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

This was a fun sketch and I am sure I will use it again.

I decide to use another new set the Stampin Up Watercolor Wings set.

I stamped the butterfly with Mint Macaron and Lost Lagoon ink. A really pretty combo, both of these are in colors. I fussy cut out the butterfly and then used one of the Bold Butterfly dies to cut out the layer using some glimmer paper. 

The base of the card is Lost Lagoon card stock and then the layers are white and more lost lagoon. For the little side element I used a piece of Mint and embossed it with the new Elegant Dots EF.

I used a strip of the In Color Envelope Paper across the bottom, which is a bit to thin for layering but I like it anyway.

The sentiment is fromm the Cottage Greetings stamp set, I really like the fonts in this set. and then I used another fave for me this year the little squiggly lines come from the Tin of Cards stamp set. Aren't the just the cutest?????

I used some twine to make the antennas and that was all the embellishing I did on this one.

Thanks for stopping by today!
