There’s a new release over at Waffle Flower and IT IS AMAZING!!!

My card today features the beautiful new Tulips combo!

Aren’t these tulips GORGEOUS?!!! And the matching dies cut all the little details out perfectly

I used my favorite coloring medium to color these beauties – Zig Clean Color markers.  I’m a sucker for them!

And with Kathy Racoosin’s 30 Day coloring challenge, we all need some fun images to color, right?  I think these tulips just may be on the top of my list of favorite images I’ve ever colored!

And I must say – if you have never experienced the unmatched quality of Waffle Flower products, you are in for a treat when you get your first order!  They come in their own storage pouches and the stand alone die sets have their own magnet sheet!  The experience of having these stamps and dies in your hands is top notch!

Over the next few days, I’m going to be featuring several projects using products from this March release!  Stay tuned!

Head on over to my Instagram to see my first Instagram TV post of this card coming together 🙂

And be sure to head to Waffle Flower to see all the amazing goodies!

I can’t say enough good about the February Club Sursee by Catherine Pooler!  I had so fun playing with it and made a card using the current Color Throwdown challenge.

I went with a clean and simple style and included a shaker element

Isn’t that little vase with a stem and some foliage just so cute?!

All the white space with that pop of pink has such a fun feel

 

I really loved how these colors worked together for my card!

Thanks for stopping by to see it!

Hello!  Jumping in here to participate in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge as well as the current Your Next Stamp Challenge which is “Inside and Out” – challenging us to decorate the inside of the card too!

So with both challenges in mind, here is my card!

Hello stamping friends! I was so happy sit down to my stamp desk again after a wonderful vacation soaking up some sun!

I played along with the Lawn Fawnatics challenge for this card and it was extra fun.  The challenge is “Bring it Back” – which means pull out those old things we haven’t used in forever!

 

I went for the oldest stamps I have from Lawn Fawn, which will be a forever favorite – “Milk and Cookies”.  I also used “A Birdie Told Me” stamps and dies.  I grabbed some brads (I have tons and haven’t pulled them out in so long!) and I also went for a good, old, fun technique of dying my own white string to match my card.

Here it is!

I also used the technique of distress blending with water spots – haven’t done that one in a long time too!

Another old embellishment I used here was a ribbon slide.  Do you remember those?!

What fun it was to dig into those little things that have collected a little dust and use them on a cute card!

If you head on over to my Instagram, there’s a quick little video of this card coming together!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am so excited and honored to be a guest designer for this month’s Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!  I have been a big fan of their challenges because they are specifically geared toward using the stuff in the stash you already have!  And we all have a stash, much of which gets ignored – right?! lol

Their challenge this time is a color challenge

 

I looked through my old Valentine’s stamps and landed at the “Love You Much” stamp set by Stampin’ Up!  This set is at least 10 years old, although I couldn’t find the exact year of release.  I had really fun playing with and using the challenge colors!

Anyone remember that set?!  I’m glad I kept it!

I added fun dimension to give it good interest and dimension

And those little love birds are on the inside of the card when it’s opened

Made me feel good to give this little set some love!  What’s in your stash that would make a fun Valentine’s card using the Retro Rubber challenge?  Stretch yourself and play along!

Thanks for visiting today!

Hello!  Today I’m sharing another Valentine’s Card using an adorable set called “I love chocolate” by Your Next Stamp.  I’m participating in their current challenge called “Share the Love” as well as the challenge over at Time Out Challenges with the theme “Affectionate”

Here’s my card

Aren’t these sweet treats so cute?!  With a little “Wink of Stella” there’s some shimmer touching up the card

Thanks for stopping by to see it!  Hope it’s been a happy Monday for everyone!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

My card today features one of my all-time favorite stamp sets with it’s coordinating dies.  It’s from a Monthly Hero set by Hero Arts that came out last year.  So I’m joining their monthly challengewith it

And I was inspired by a new challenge I found for my design!  The Flower challenge!  Their current challenge is “Shaped cards”.

So I used the chalkboard dies in the kit to create a little chalkboard stand card!

With the cute little pots and crate of flowers and the heart balloons, this is just the perfect little card to write a message of love in!

I used Zig Clean color markers for my coloring and to add a fun touch to the balloons, I covered them in glossy accents and touched the gloss with heat from my heat tool.  It gives them a mylar balloon look!

If you’d like to see a little video of this card quickly coming together, visit my Instagram!

Thanks for swinging by my blog to see it!  Have a great day!

I love the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches! 

I pulled out this super cute die from The Stamp Market and it worked perfectly for the sketch!

The square shape added a fun element

There’s no stamping on this card – just the cute die cuts and a few enamel dots

A simple “Thanks” card is always good to have in the stash!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  It’s time to get the lovey dovey cardmaking mojo going! Valentines Day is on it’s way and I was inspired by 3 different challenges to pull a fun, heart-filled card together.  The first challenge is the Wednesday Sketch Challenge by My Favorite Things 

The second challenge was also by My Favorite Things!  It’s their current Color Challenge which is PERFECT for Valentines Day cards!

And finally, over atTime Out Challenges, their inspiration photo was just adorable.  I absolutely loved the banner and really bounced off that!

So with those 3 challenges in front of me, I got stamping!  Here is my first Valentines Card for the year

I used the birthday set by My Favorite Things “Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes” as well as the coordinating dies.  The artist, Stacy Yacula, creates the most adorable images!!  In order to alter this little guy, I simply omitted the birthday hat when inking and then carefully cut off that hat part once I had cut it out.  It worked perfectly!

It was really fun to use these 3 challenges on one card!

Thanks for stopping by to check it out!

Happy Stamping!

I haven’t played along with C(ASE) this Sketch in a long time! And this sketch looked so fun to use with some new products that I’ve been excited to pull out

 

One of those products is the new Catherine Pooler Mini Snowflake cover die, and with the sketch and this die, I had an idea come quick!

With the sketch in mind, I used the rectangular shape of the die instead of an oval. 

I need to make a few of these! I have several loved ones with winter birthdays and this was such an easy card to whip up

There’s a video on my Instagram of it coming together! Go check that out to see just how easy it was.

Have a wonderful day!

Big hugs
