Hi again!  I had fun challenging myself to use no stamping at all on a card.  I went with a pastel color combo to play along with the challenge over at Your Next Stamp.

With the pop of brighter pink, the soft pastels really stand out.  Those cute dies are from the Leafy Accent dies by Your Next Stamp and I love them!  They go really good in wreaths and flower arrangements of all kinds!  I went over each of them with some Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to give dimension and extra interest

I had so fun with this and it was like a little puzzle to get them to all fit nicely together!

That’s my card for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!

I am in LOVE with all my new goodies from Catherine Pooler!  The Tropical Treasures release had me clicking “Add to Cart” quite a bit… I feel like I could lock myself in  my stamp room for days!  So no challenge I’m following for this post – just the product of my own stamping fun today 🙂

When I saw the adorable Springfield sequin mix in person – I immediately had to make a shaker card!

So here is the first, of many to come, using these fabulous supplies by CP

How adorable is that sequins?!  I did add the miniature teal ones from a different collection.  But the rest is all in that Springfield mix!  I’m so in love.  Especially with those flowers!

If you want to see a speedy snippet of me putting this card together, be sure to visit my Instagram!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I love all shades of mint and teal.  So this week’s challenge over at Fusion had me screaming to play along!

To get creating, I turned the sketch horizontally and made a feather the “rectangle” focus. This adorable feather is by Hero Arts

Where the circles are on the sketch, I switched to chevrons.  These chevrons are from a stamp set by Amuse Studio

I just love the fun it is to play with the fusion challenge and see if I can incorporate the sketch AND the inspiration board!

And that’s my card for today!

Thanks for visiting!

When I saw the new challenge over at AAA cards, I was so excited!  If you’ve visited my blog before, you know that I LOVE card challenges!!!  And this one is a totally new and fun idea.  Here it is

How fun is that?!!!

So I picked the 3 things I would add to my sentiment and they were “an inked stencil pattern”, “a trio of small embellishments”, and “colouring pens or pencils”.

Aren’t these little turtle friends from Pink and Main so cute?!!  I colored them using Prismacolor pencils and some gamsol.  My trio of embellishments are the 3 sequins and you can see the inked stencil behind them.

In this pic you can see that I also added some shimmer to their cute little shells

This will definitely be a challenge I participate in each time it comes up!

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Here is another wreath card!  I’m telling you, I’m being serious when I say I could play with this wreath builder for hours!  It’s so much fun!

I used bold bright colors and then made it into a simple card using the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #311

I used 3 different Gina K. stamp sets to create this card

One of my favorites is the Tiny Wreath Builder because all the little pieces come in so handy to finish off any wreath!  I added some Nuvo drops to make the centers of the flowers pop

And this card is finished!  Clean and Simple

I hope you had a wonderful day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hi!  I hope you are having a happy Saturday!  I had so much fun sitting down to a few of my Gina K stamp sets and making some really fun wreath cards with the wreath builders!  Today’s wreath is small, soft and simple.  I’m going to share another one in my next post that is big bold and bright!  I went along with the monthly challenge over at Gina K for inspiration.

The theme is “Flower Power” and that is why I thought it was perfect to put together some wreaths.  Once I get going, it’s hard to stop!! I just want to keep trying different colors, images and patterns!

So here is my first for today

I used really soft colors for this one and made it using the mini wreath builder

I love the mini wreath builder set because all of the little elements are great fillers with other floral sets in making a wreath!  (You’ll see that in my post on Monday)

Add a Gina K coordinating envelope (her’s are my favorite!) and I’m ready to send this one off.

On my Instagram account there’s a quick-speed video of this card coming together if you’d like to go take a look!  I think the wreaths are a blast to watch come together with these wreath builders!

Come back Monday for the big, bold and bright wreath card!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Today I’m pulling out the adorable Cool Treats stamp set and dies by Stampin’ Up! for a fun birthday card for a friend.  My inspiration came from two challenges.  The Global Design Project’s color challenge this week

And also this sketch over at Paper Craft Crew Challenges

And with those two fun challenges in mind, here is the project I made

I think this set is soooo cute!  And I love all the coordinating dies that come with it

One of my favorite accent products by SU! is their clear enamel dots!  I can take any color of alcohol marker and color them to coordinate with my card like I did here with the Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green!

Thanks for stopping by today!

My next card is going to be a “no stamping” card and I’m excited to share!  See you soon with that.

Have a wonderful day!

Hello!  It’s a baby card for today!  And the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge was perfect for a fun idea.  They are featuring Lawn Fawn products with this challenge so I pulled out the Hello Baby stamp set and dies.

The challenge is to make the card interactive!  I was really inspired by one of Jennifer McGuire’s recent videos teaching how to make a hinged card.  So with that idea, I got making this baby card

That front little frame is a hinged piece!

To add to the interactive theme, the inside also has a fun little movable piece – a baby onesie on a hanger!  It comes from the Little Bundle set by Lawn Fawn.  Their stamps are always so complimenting of each other! I used Zig Watercolor markers to color all the images very softly.  Doing my best to do color frequently with the fun reminder from the 30 day coloring challenge over at The Daily Marker 🙂

To see my card in action, head to my Instagram account to watch the little video in my post and on my story!

Have a wonderful day!

A quick drop in to share a sweet little card.  Right now the 30-day coloring challenge is going on with Kathy Racoosin!

This card was so fun to color using alcohol marker coloring.  And this sweet little set from W+9 is so sweet.

Monday is always a great day to mail a card!  I love to join Mail-it-Monday on Instagram.  Gotta use these cards we have so much fun making huh!

Hope you have had a great start to your week!

It’s time for a Valentines card!

I’m playing along with the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch challenge and the “Have a Heart” Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp

And here’s the card

I just LOVE the little pocket made out of the mini envelope dies!

And that’s my card for today!

I’ll be back in couple days with a cute Lawn Fawn card that also has a love theme.  It’s just that time of year!
