Warm Wishes

 Hello guys!

Toda I am shring  cad I made using the sketch challenge 

this week at The Paper Players

I am using a new Online Exclusive  

Stitched Season is a pretty Suite of products.

I had fun with the different patterns in the DSP to patch together my stocking.

I laid out several squares of the DSP, that was die cut with a die in the Suite, onto a piece of Basic White cardstock, the cut out with one of the stocking dies.

I used Peaceful Pine cardstock for the base of the card, I followed with a piece of SP from the A Stitched Season pack.

The white panel is embossed with one of the folders in the new Seasonal Cheer Mini pack.This is a pack of three folders, one Fall, one Halloween and one Christmas,

I added another piece of DSP across the bottom.

I used a sentiment from the set and added three button embellishments.

I had a few challenges with my card when making, first I glued the front on upside down, meaning the fold to open it was at the bottom not the top, second, I had a issue with my DSP after having it all together and ended up "patching" in another piece and finally I had trouble deciding where 

to put my button embellishments, which lead to another DSP "patch" job.

This is what happens when trying to hurry to finish before I left on vacation. 😐😐

So, I guess you could call this my patchwork card,

Thanks for stopping by toy.

In My Thoughts

Hello guys. 

I am sharing a card I made using the challenge at 

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I went with the middle row and made a pink, square, CAS card.

I used the retired Stampin Up set Called Best Thoughts. I love coloring and for this one I used Bubble Bath and a bit of Pretty in Pink, The leaves are colored with Granny Apple Green.

The base of the card is Pretty in Pink followed with Basic White.

I fussy cut out the flower and added to my card and then stamped the sentiment next to it.

And there you go, pink, square and CAS. 😊

Thanks for coming by today.

 Hello Peeps!

Today I have a fun card to share, I made using the challenge at

Inspired By

Such a cute inspiration picture/ I went with some bright colors:

I uswd the retired 1Stampin Up set  A Birds Eye's View.

I syamped nd colored with my Blends using Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist and a touch of Pumkin Pie and Bubble Bath/

I die cut them out using the Branching Out Dies, I then cut another bigger die with the Azure Afternoon.

I then cut the middle out with the same size die as the image and inserted my focal piece into the opening.

I searched my stamps for a cute sentiment. but didn't find one so I printed this one out onto some Basic White cardstock/

I die cut it out with a die from the Textured Notes Dies.

I added just below the image with dimensionals.

I finshed it up with some very old dots I had in my stash called Bright Party Dots and a little bow.

Aren't they a cute little bird family?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy 4th of July

 Hello Peeps!

I am sharing a card today I made using the sketch at 

Freshly Made Sketches

And since it is a anything goes challenge at Cupcake Inspirations

 I am linking my card there as well;

The challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps & More:

Die cuts and/or Stencils. 

I have many images that is die cut on my card s well as the Arch background piece.

and my card:

I used the set I got a couple weeks back for my Creative Challenge with Wendy.

I am wondering if my focal image is too large for the sketch, but I had this idea and needed to get it out!!

My card base is Rel Red, followed by another layer of Rel Red that I embossed with the Starstruck EF.

I die cut the withe piece with a die from the Everyday Arches die set.

I then stamped all my images onto scrap cardstock, colored them with my Blens, using Real Red and Azure Afternoon. I then die cut them out with the matching dies.

All the images are mounted to the Arch with dimensionals.

I stamped the Happy 4th of July with versamark and embossed with white powder.

I added a small strip of Azure Afternoon DSP across the bottom of the card before adding the focal piece.

I finished up with a few rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Friend

 Hello Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge at As You See It.

A bright an colorful color challenge. Use Berry Burst, a color I almost never use, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lim Twist and Coastal Cabana.

I thought these colors would be perfect for some bright and pretty flowers, so I pulled out my Flowers Fair stamp to use

My card:

I kept my card pretty simple to let the flowers be the star.

I colored my flowers using the challenge colors. They are so striking in these colors.

I then used one of the Everyday Arches dies to cut out the flowers.

I cut another Arch using some Berry Burst cardstock an layered the flower image on it.

The base pf my card is Thick Basic White followed by another layer of white that I embossed using my fave embossing folder at the moment, Stone & Vine.

I added the focal image to the base with some dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from the Lovely Arrangement stamp set and is embossed with white embossing powder onto some Basic Black cardstock. I die cut it out using a die that is in the Lovely Arrangements Die set.

I finished it up with a few brass butterflies embellishments. 

So, what do you think, does these colors play well together?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thinking of You

 Hey Guys!!!

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

 Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

And here is my card:

As you can see, I flipped my card an elongated the squares to make rectangles.

But you can still see the sketch in my card. Let's just say this is my interpretation of the sketch.

I pulled out an older retired set called Nature's Harvest.

Summer is barley here and I am already dreaming of fall. 😆

The flowers were stamped onto Basic White cardstock and colored with my Blends

I die cut it out with the matching die.

The base of my card is Crumb Cak cardstock and the DSP here is from the Easter Joy pack.

I dug out some long ago retire Cork Paper and cut my rectangle, I also cut my white rectangle and embossed with the Vine & Stone EF.

I added these to the card base each at an angle.

I then added the die cut flowers to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Friendly Flowers stamp set an die cut it out with a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I added it to the card and added a small little yellow bow and finished with a few rustic adhesive dots.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Rainy Days

 Hello Guys!

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

The Paper Players 

A CAS challenge with the theme of Weather

I pulled out my retired Playing in the Rain Bundle.

My card:

I stamped the cute little Fox with an umbrella image onto a Basic White scrap with Memento Black and colored it up with my Blends. I used Cajun Crae, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Lost Lagoon.

I cut him out with the matching die.

I adhered him to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White,

I then stamped the sentiment next to him.

I stamped a few clouds from the set and shaded them a bit with a Light Gray Granite Blend

Die cut them out and added them above the Fox on this layer.

This layer was mounted onto a Lost Lagoon card base.

A pretty Clean & Simple card wouldn't you say? I think that Fox is so cute!!!!

Thank you for stopping by today.
