Splitcoast color Challenge.....Birthday wishes

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!

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

I pretty much CASED a card by my friend Narella.

 I changed up the colors and DSP and used white for my base, but I used the same layout and flowers and sentiment she used, I LOVE her card and I wanted to try my hand at it.

The flowers come from the Stampin Up Secret Garden stamp set and I used the matching framelits to cut out the flower and leaves. The sentiment is from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set.

I love this color combo and think the card turned out really nice.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dynamic Duos Blue Birthday

Happy Tuesday peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using this week's Dynamic Duo's Challenge.

I guess you knew I would have to make a card with some flowers!  This flower is from the Stampin Up "Secret Garden"set. I stamped my flowers with Bashful Blue ink and then sponged with Midnight Muse.

The leaves are stamped with Crumb Cake.

The sentiment is from the Stampin Up Petite Pairs stamp set.

I added some bashful blue satin ribbon, I love this satin ribbon!

The DSP is from the Prints Poetry pack. I used some basic pearls for corner accents and in the middle of the flowers.

Well, thanks for coming by today!!

Merry Monday.....Snow Much Fun

Merry Monday Peeps!!!

Sorry I am a bit late posting, I didn't get this post pre-scheduled and was just tooooo pooped last night after work to do it. But I am off work today and I am going to enjoy some much needed down time and time with hubby!!

Anyway on to my card for today, Lesley has another awesome sketch for us this week:

When I saw this sketch I thought right away that I would use this fun PTI die I got last winter to make my card. I LOVE this die with the sledder!! Just tooooo  much fun! I have some great childhood memories of doing this very thing!

I kept my card very Clean and Simple, I used a base of PTI white and then some retiring, BOO!, baja breeze and then the DSP I used is from Stampin Up Snow Festival paper pack.

The sentiment is from the Snow Much Fun stamp set. 

Be sure and hop over to Lesley's Blog to check out what the rest of the Merry Makers did with this fabulous sketch!

Sweet Sunday.....Oh, Hello

Happy Sunday peeps!! 

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day.

Here is our Sweet Sketch for this week:

I decided to pull out a fave set of mine, the Stampin Up Stippled Blossoms.

I, of course, wanted to use a bit of the new Gingham garden DSP so that decided my color.

I stamped the flowers with Regal Rose and Melon Mambo on whisper white.

The lighter looking flower is the regal stamped off once. I can't really decide which I like better, the lighter or darker flower, they are both pretty.

The base of the card is White and then some Melon Mambo and then more white that I embossed with the Perfect Dots EF. I then embossed and cut two pieces of card stock, one white and one Melon, using one of the Delicate Designs EF. I added my strip of the gingham DSP on the side.

The sentiment is from the Oh,  Hello stamp set.

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team has made with this sweet sketch:

Wildflower Meadow Birthday

Hello Peeps!!!

Another sweet little sneak peek. Love this new set with matching embossing folder called Wildflower Meadow.

I saw a card similar to this one on Stampin Connection (a demo only site) and had to give this technique a try.

To start you stamp the image with white craft ink onto the Crumb Cake card stock. I then used my ink pads and aqua painter to color the image. Love the results.

I used some Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple card stock for the base and the mat.

Admittedly I need some more practice with this technique but it sure is fun to work with!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday

Hello Peeps!!

Today I have another sneak peek share for you,

I love this new DSP, called Gingham Garden, isn't the gingham so pretty?

I used daffodil delight for the base of my card and then some white card stock to amt the DSP onto.

I made another tissue paper flower, this time I used daffodil delight ink to color the flower.

 I punched out about 8-10 layers of tissue using my scallop circle punch. I used my piercing tool and mat pack to put a small hole through the center of the scallop circles. I then added a small brad through them to hold all the layers together.

Then using a sponge and the ink pad start sponging ink onto the layers of tissue all around and then pull up the first layer and repeat with each layer of tissue. Does, that make sense? It is really easy and makes some pretty cute flowers. :) I made the leaves using the blossom builder punch. 

The sentiment is from the retired "Something to Celebrate" set. I finished off with a few basic pearls.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek!!! 

Have a great day!

You are Simply Wonderful

Hello Peeps!!

Today I am sharing another sneak peek. This time the Washi Tape that will be available in Stampin Up's new catalog.

I hadn't ever worked with washi tape but when it was available in our smeak peek items I decided to give it a try, well it sit on my desk for quite awhile before I got brave enough to give it a try.

I created the background you see here with the three colors of tape in the package, Gingham Garden. It was kinda fun to work with.

I started with a piece of white cardstock, 4-3/4" x 3-1/2", I covered  this piece with the washi tape going at an angle and alternating the colors. I matted this with some night of navy card stock.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and I made the flower with some tissue paper and my scallop circle punch. I then sponged all the layers of tissue with some melon mambo ink. I love the variegated coloring of the rose.

The sentiment is from the Friendly Phrases stamp set. I cut it out with one of the Apothecary framelits.

I finished off with some basic pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today!
