Old Friends

 Hello guys!!

Popping in here quickly to share a card I made using the challenge at SUO Challenges

This time is CASE the Designer, love her pretty card!

My card:

I pulled out the fun new suite of products, The Silly Old Bear Suite.

I used a base of Golden Glow and followed that with a layer of the DSP from the sute.

I stamped Pooh and Piglet with our new Hybrid Black Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock.

I colored with my blends using Golden Glow, Narley Blush and Old Olive. I die cut out with the matching die.

Using Very Vanilla and a sentiment from the Sweet Words and Labels Dies set I stamped the sentiment on a 1" strip.

I also die cut a label using the same set of dies with Golden Glow cardstock.

I mounted Pooh and Piglet to the die cut label and added to the 1" sentiment strip.

Then added this to the card.

I finished with a few golden glow dots.

Well, thanks for coming by today, My daughter and granddaughters will be here soon and we are going shopping for some flowers for my flower bed!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Hello

Hello guys!!

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

My card:

I have always said I love a sketch challenge, but this one was more than a bit of a challenge for me, all those little squares and getting them all lined up was not easy. I came up with a little trick that helped me a lot. I cut 4 strips of white the size of my squares and then mounted them to the strips, I then could trim the edges to make it all look cohesive. I layered my strips onto a piece of white the size of them all together.

And another trick I learned when making quilt cards was to use to emboss your panel, it hides a multitude of tiny inconsistence in the pattern. 

I used the Tin Tile EF.

I used a variety of DSP from a few packs, I just pulled ones I thought would all go together with my vase of flowers.

The little vase of flowers comes from the Pop Up Petals stamp set.

I stamped the vase using Balmy Blue

and colored the flowers with my blends using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and 

Crumb Cake,

All this was mounted on a piece of burlap look DSP from a retired pack.

My sentiment comes from the Layered Flowers set. 

I layered this all onto a Crumb Cake Base and finished up with a small twine bow and a few yellow adhesive dots.

I really like the outcome and even thought my squares are not perfect it still looks good, I think so anyway. 😉

Thanks for coming by and Happy Stampin!

It's Your Day

Hello Peeps!!

Today's card share is one I made using the sketch this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge . 

I always love a good sketch challenge:

I used a lot of neutrals in my design, I used basic white, basic beige  and added a pop of color with my focal image.

I used the retired set Mixed Florals for my main image.

I colored with my Blends using Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Pool Party an Old Olive.

The base of the card is Basic white and the DSP on here comes from the  Lovely Blossoms DSP and the Valley in Bloom DSP. I also used a strip of Beige that I embossed with the retired Brick and Mortar EF.

I finsihes it up with a small twine bow and a few metallic adhesive dots.

Anniversary Card

Hello Guys!

Today's card share I made a couple of  challenges one  Addicted to Stamps & More

amd the challenge at If you give a Crafter a Cookie

A Lemony Sweet challenge: 

and my card:

After coloring my image using the stencils I cut the image down the middle to mount on the edge of my card.

I really love yellow rose, I had them at my wedding, along with white daisies. 

But any way, I embossed a piece of basic white cardstock with the Lazy Daisy EF and glued the flowers to the side.

I then mounted that piece to some basic black.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set, I stamped it on a label cut with a die from the Sweet Words & Labels.

I finished it up with some yellow dots and a pretty little yellow bow.

Thank you for stopping by today and Happy Stampin!
