Wishing You Lots of Love

Hello guys!

Popping in here quickly to post a card I made using the sketch this week at 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

and also, the challenge this week at  The Paper Players

My card:

My flowers on here are fussy cut from the Floral Delight DSP. (retired)

The pretty gingham is Vellum from the same suite of products the DSP came from, Floral & Gingham Specialty Paper.

I used Thick Basic White cardstock for my base and added the Vellum over the base.

The white arch the flowers re mounted on are from the Everyday Arches Dies.

I added my fussy cut flowers to the arch with dimensionals.

The die cut sentiment is from the From the Delightful Wishes dies, and the sentiment below is stamped with Memento Black ink and come from the Delightful Wishes stamp set. (both are retired)

I finished up with a Pool Paty bow and some pool party faceted dots.

Thanks for coming by today.

Happy 4th

 Happy 4th of July guys!

Hope you are enjoying your day.

I wanted to share a card I made to give to my granddaughters.

These two girls are popsicle fanatics. so I thought I would make them a patriotic popsicle.

I think they are so cute!

I layered 1/2" pieces of Real Red, White and Azure Afternoon onto a scrap piece of white and then used the smallest die in the Everyday Arches die set.

I hand cut the sticks from Crumb Cake cardstock.

I mounted the popsicles onto a die cut circle with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the patriotic set I got a few weeks ago, no name as is the firework images.

I also made each of them a treat holder:

I have really gotten my money's worth using this fun 4th of July set.

Well, that is it for now, thanks for coming by today!

Happy Halloween

 Good Morning Ya'll!!!

Today I am sharing a fun Halloween card that is an Online Exclusive called Frightfully Fun, it comes in a Suite if products with the Dies, DSP, cute embellishments, a cute EF and some pretty ribbon

I used the challenge at 

Hand Stamped Sentiments and it is a nice sketch;

it has a lot of layers, which I love! My card:

It is a busy little card, but that spider had to show you all the new stuff!

I used the spider web die for my circle, I cut a little off it to make it fit my card better.

All the DSP on here come from the Frightfully Fun pack except the black and orange stripe that I used to represent the flag piece across the middle, it is from the Spooktacular 6" x 6" DSP psck.

I colored

 the little spider from the Web of Fun Dies and colored him with my Smoky Slate Blend.

The large Halloween sentiment is from the Web of Fun stamp set.

The Happy is also in the Web of Fun dies.

I finished up with s few little sticky back black bats.

Can't wait til Fall!

Thanks for coming by today!

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.

Have a tweet Birthday Celebration

 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!
