Thank You

 Hello Guys!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the CASE the catalog challenge 

at SU Only Challenges

I chose the card with the large banner.

I used the Charming Days Bundle, along with the matching DSP.

I stamped my flowers onto Basic White cardstock with Memento Black ink.

I colored my flowers using my Blends. I used Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock.

II die cut them out with the matching dies.

 The large banner is die cut using the Party Banner Dies, with Basic White cardstock.

I stamped my sentiment, from With You in Mind stamp set with black 

I splattered this with Pretty Peacock and added my flowers to the banner with dimensionals.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and the DSP is from the Floral Charm pack.

I used some matching sticky back dots.

 Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday

 Hello Peeps!!!

Today I am shring a card I made using a couple of challenges.

The challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge:

and the challenge at The Paper Players

My card:

I used the retired set called Memorable Blooms, I am not sure I ever used this Bundle. It is so pretty and comes with great Dies.

On the Paper Players Tic Tac Toe board I chose the diagonal line, Happy Sentiment, free space & Die Cut.

I stamped the flower image onto some Basic White with Black Memento ink and colored with my Blends. I used Balmy Blue and Gray Granite.

I die cut it out with matching die. 

I die cut a leaf spray with Gray Granite cardstock.

I also die cut the Hexagon shape from the same die set with Gray Granite cardstock as well.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and then I layered some Night of Navy and Balmy Blue cardsock. I then embossed the top white layer using the Mini Corrugated EF.

I added the Gray Hexagon die cut to the corrugated white piece and then the flower spray was added with dimensionals.

I stuck the Gray Granite leaf die cut behind the flowers.

The birthday sentiment comes from the Layered 

Arrangements stamp set. 

I die cut it with the matching die from the same set.

After making my card I thought it might not be as

 CAS as required, but you can tell me what you think. 

It does have lots of white space, but maybe too many layers, embellishments and twine bow.

Sometimes I just can't stop!! LOL!!

Thanks so much for coming by today!

Hello guys!!

Todays card share is a fun technique card I made using the challenge at 

52 Christmas Card Throwdown

My card:

I am using the retired Winterly Tree Tops set and DSP.

One of my all-time favorites.

I stamped the image onto Basic White and colored with my Blends. I used Pool Party. Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red.

I followed one of the tutorials they linked for my measurements, scoring and putting it all together.

There is a window sheet in the middle that the main image is mounted on.

All the DSP comes from the same Winter Trees pack.

The sentiment is from a new set that will be available in July called Stitched Stocking.

The card folds flat and will fit into A2 envelope. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Friend

Good morning peeps! 

Today's card share is one I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

This sketch had me puzzled for a while, but the more I thought about an idea begin to form.

My card:

If you have been around here a bit you know I love monochromatic cards. They seem to be my go to style.

The stamp set is The Cutest Crew, I had used the other images in the set but not the cute little birds.

I stamped the image with Memento Black onto some Basic White cardstock and colored with my Blends. I used Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling and a bit of Old Olive.

The base of the card is Clous Cover cardstock and then I used some Basic White and another layer of Cloud Cover to build my layers.

The top layer of Basic White I stamped the little bird feet across the middle a few times with Cloud Cover ink and then I embossed with the Painted Texture EF.

The slotted strips are from the same stamp set and dies. They are die cut using more Cloud Cover cardstock.

I die cut a circle with Basic White using a die from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

I stamped the sentiment that is from the Sweet Bugs stamp set.

I added the birds to the circle with dimensionals.

I then added a few die cut butterflies using some Lemon Lolly cardstock.

I finished up with a few adhesive backed Cloud Cover dots.

Thanks for coming by today!

Birthday Cupcakes

 Hey Guys!!

Popping in here again to share another xard I made using a couple of challenges, the challenge at Seize the Birthday:

and the challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More:

My card:

I pulled out another retired set, I really love this set with its old fashion style scale. 

It is the Measure of Love set.

I stamped the scale image and cupcakes onto some scrap basic white cardstock.

I colored with my Blends using Pool Party, Bubble bath, Lemon Lolly Crumb Cake and Gray Granite.

The arrow on the scales face was stamped with Real Red.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White.

I then used a piece of DSP from the retired Pattern Party pack that I matted with a piece of Basic Black cardstock.

I fussy cut out both images and added them with dimensionals onto a Basic White die cut arch, cut with the Everyday Arches Dies.

The sentiment is from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set and is die cut with a die in that same set.

I finished with a few pink adhesive backed gems from the Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems pack.

I also added a small bow to the scales using some retired bubble bath ribbon.

Thanks for coming by for a look today!

Happy Birthday

 Hey Guys!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

I am using another of the new InColors for my card, Crisp Cantaloupe, which actually is a returning  color from a few years back. I really like this color, so soft and pretty, right up my alley!

My Card:

For my flowers I am using the Lovely Arrangement stamp set.

I stamped them on basic white and colored with my Crisp Cantaloupe Blend.

The leaves are a couple of die cuts from the same Lovely Arrangement Bundle. I die cut them using another new InColor, Peaceful Pine.

The base of the card is Crisp Cantaloupe, follwed by a piece of Basic White that I embossed with the Lazy Daisy EF.

The DSP on here is from the Bloom Boutique pack, with a little sneak peek at a new DSP coming available in July Online Exclusives, the InColor Gingham Gallery. It is so pretty and I love gingham paper.

The scalloped edges you see are Dies from the Fancy Border Dies. retired.

The sentiment comes from the Lovely Arrangement stamp set and is die cut with a matching die in that same Bundle.

I finished up with a few InColor adhesive backed Butterflies.

Thanks for stopping by today.
