Thinking of You

I played along with the WPlus9 Design Studio birthday challenge again. I used a similar layout to the last one only this time kept it minimal: only ivory and kraft cardstock. The flowers were stamped a second time, fussy cut, sponged the centers with Cantaloupe ink, and popped up on pop dots.

The floral image is from Flora and Fauna I and the sentiment is from Guiding Light.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

In My Thoughts

WPlus9 Design Studio is celebrating their 4th birthday and having a month of weekly challenges to celebrate! I am entering this card into the Birthday Celebration Week 2 Challenge: Step It Up.  

I stepped it up a bit by paper piecing the flowers using Simple Stories patterned paper and popping the sentiment up on dimensions.

The floral image is from Flora and Fauna I and the sentiment is from Guiding Light.

WPlus9 Design Studio is celebrating their 4th birthday and having a month of weekly challenges to celebrate! I am entering this card into the Birthday Celebration Week Challenge of Comfort Zone.  

This design is certainly one within my comfort zone as I enjoy combining stenciling, sponging and stamping.

I used Woodland Wreaths and the sentiment is from Defining Words. I stenciled  the dotted background using a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and paired it with some patterned Paper.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

What Does the Fox Say?

When I saw this new stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop called Foxy...I caved and had to have it!

To create the background, I stenciled the dots using Memento Summer Sky ink and a Crafter's Workshop stencil. I stamped the fox image twice (once on a scrap piece of cardstock) to add some dimension and added the funny little sayings using the speech bubbles included in the stamp set. I stamped the grass and added some die-cut grass from patterned paper. This set is utterly adorable and looking forward to creating some little Valentines cards for Valentine's Day!

Do you remember the YouTube song sensation from this past fall? If not here is a link: What Does the Fox Say? by Ylvis...hope you can get this little diddy out of your head, LOL!  The first time I heard that song was at our youngest son's football game in October and questioned who in their right mind would play over the speaker something so stupid...it wouldn't end!!!  Well....after I saw them on a morning news show that following week I became a fan and still giggle when I hear it!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

CFC126 - Happy

 Hey there!  Today I have a CAS card to share that I made using two Sweet Stamp Shop sets: Elegant Flowers and Elegant Sentiments. I am entering this into the CFC126 Color Blocks challenge from that CAS-ual Friday Challenge blog and used Memento Tangelo, Lilac Posies, Cantaloupe and Pear Tart to randomly stamped the flower image. I finished it with some Want2Scrap bling and a bit of twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sorry

 Hello!  Today I have a card using an adorable stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop called Baking Love. The background was created by sponging distress inks on an ivory panel and spritzing a brick stencil (from The Crafter's Workshop) with water. Uber cool and fun techinque....definitely adds a cool design!

The Easy Bake Oven image was stamped with Oynx Black ink, embossed with clear embossing powder and inked/stenciled the same as the background.  I fussy cut and popped it up on some dimensionals and added some Want2Scrap bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday

Hello there...today I have a card to share using some Reverse Confetti stamps and the Reverse Confetti Sketch for You to Try. I paired the stamp set Lots to Say with some Simple Stories 24/7 patterned paper I had on hand...and LOVE the Tag Me die set. I have used it a bunch already and is my go to die at the moment! Added some simple twine to the tag and ta-day...done!

Here is a look see at the fun sketch...which is a great starting point if you haven't been card making in a while :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Nothing is Impossible

Happy New Year! I think I am finally back to stamping a bit :) I took quite a bit of time off of paper crafting as I wanted to enjoy the holidays and time with the family doing fun stuff....and crafting just didn't rank high on my list for the past 2 months.

Today I have a card to share that I made using a floral stamp from Penny Black (Petal Party) and paired it with a favorite sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (Be Encouraged):

I sprayed a panel with Dylusions Squeezed Orange and stamped the flower using Archival Jet Black ink. The flower was paper pieced with dimensionals and I colored the stem with Copics. I added a sentiment using a SNSS die (Bookmarks and More) and added some pearl bling from Want2Scrap. 
I am entering this into the Sending Hugs Challenge over on the Penny Black blog. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
