Tic Tac Toe Birthday

Hello guys!

How is your week going so far? Hope it is well.

My card share today is one I made using the challenge at Tic Tac Toe Challenges.

I used the diagonal squares, Floral, Emboss and Patterned Paper.

My card:

I am using the retired Stampin Up set Layers of Beauty.

This set has stencils or layers as they call them to color the image, so fun!

I used pretty in pink, flirty flamingo and for my leaves I used Granny Apple Green.

I cut the image out with the matching die.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and then i used a piece of patterned paper from the 2024-2026 In Color 6x6 DSP paper pack.

 I followed that up with a piece of Basic White that is embossed with the Beautiful Patterns EF.

Well, that is all for now.

Thanks so much for coming by for a peek. Happy Stampin!

Hey guys!

Hope things are going well for you today.

We had terrible storms here on Sunday. I spent most of my evening hiding in the hall closet. I hate storm season! Even harder now that my husband is gone. 😢

Today's card share is a card I made using the challenge at Inspired By

I pulled out another retired set called Umbrella Days to use.

 My umbrellas may look more like beach umbrellas that rainy day umbrellas, but my card needed sone color.

The base of my card is Thick Basic White followed by some Boho Blue. I used another layer of white that I embossed with the Raindrop EF,

The girls are colored with Blends using Boho Blue, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Poppy Parade.

I die cut some clouds with the dies in this set and sponged them a bit with some pool party ink.

The sentiment is from the Under My Umbrella stamp set, retired.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello Peeps!!

Aquick post today to share the card I made using the sketch at Just Add Ink Challenges 

Nice sketch huh? I love sketch challenges. 

My Card:

I pulled out a retired Stampin Up set called Mixed Florals. I stamped this image twice on some watercolor paper using the New Black Hybris ink pad.

I colored with a water brush using Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Old Olive and Crumb Cake 

I die cut with the matching die. I fussy cut out one of the largest coneflower to add the image to represent the 3 smaller circles in the sketch.

The base of my card is Very Vanilla and the DSP is a sneak peek of the Silly Old Bear DSP

I die cut a circle using the Stylish Shape Dies and embossed with the Mini Corrugated EF.

I added the circle to the card and the flowers were added using dimesionals.

I finished up with a few retired Glossy Dots.

The sentiment is from the retired Zinnia stamp set and I used a die from the Sweet Words and Labels dies.

Hello Friend

 God Morning Peeps!!!

Today's card share is one I made using the challenge at Addicted to CAS

I tried my hand again at a CAS card, I really like how this one turned out. 😉

It was quite the feat to get this flowers onto my postage stamp and also the keep a white space around the edge so it really looked like a stamp. 

I used the Stampin Up Flowers Fair stamp, it is a large BG type stamp, so alot of masking off and positioning the stamp in the right place to get the flower, I used and threw away several attempts.

I did finally get four I liked I used two on this card.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White.

The sentiment comes from the Stampin UP Sweet Bugs stamp set.

The stamps were colored with Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Blends amd adeed to the base with dimensionals

The BG is sponged on using Balmy Blue ink Pad.

Do you think I achieved clean and simple? 

Thanks for syopping by today and Happy Stampin.

Hu Guys! 

I am back with another card using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches

 I really loved this sketch and couldn't stop thinking about it, 

so I had to make another card using it.  

The stamp set is retired and so is the cardstock and DSP.

The stamp set is Mixed Floral and the cardstock is Boho Blue, I love that color and hope it comes back when they do a color refresh.

I colored the flower using Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Boho Blue and a bit of Pumpkin Pie.

The sentiment comes from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set as is the circle background piece.

Well thanks again for stopping by and Happy Stampin'!!

Hey guys!

Hope your day is going well so far. 

Today's card share is one I made using the sketch at Inkspirational Challenges

I wasn't sure about doing this one, I am really bad with small elements.

I had been yhinking about and it came to me, I could use the Daffodil die that is in the Easter Basket stamp set.

I die cut 4 sets and went to add them to some basic white squares and realized they are too tall to fit on a square. Mine are rectangles but cute rectangles. 😆

The sentiment on here comes from the Lily of the Valey stamp set.

I dcored a few lines across the top of the card to add some intrest.

The daffodils are cut using Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie cardstock

The stems and grass are made with Old Olive cardstock.

The rectangles are attached to the base with dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Stampin'
