Happy Monday! And happy new Double Trouble Challenge day!

It’s everyone’s favorite!  Anything goes!

But Thing 3 does have an optional twist – use a piglet or a pink and brown color palette. I chose to do pink and brown floral card

I just did a pink and brown card a few projects ago.  It was so fun that I couldn’t resist picking this option and making one again!

Thing 2 says to pick one of our previous partners as another option.  I chose this fabulous sketch from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

What a fun layout!

We hope you’ll join along and link up! Happy stamping!

I have a very dimensional card today!  This one is for a newlywed couple that is very dear to our family. And I’m playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge, which is “monochrome”

I used the Floribunda Rose die set by Spellbinders  and water colored each piece before assembly.  I used shades of teal to coordinate with their wedding color palette

It was fun to layer up the petals and watch these pretty roses come together!  Now to find a way to ship it to them carefully…

Thanks for stopping by to see today’s card! 

I’ll be back again tomorrow with another pretty floral one 😊

Hello friends! Double Trouble has a new challenge today and it’s time to pull out your punches and dies!

Of course I chose dies! I don’t know if there’s a single card I have made in years that didn’t use dies.  My Big Shot gets used every time I sit to make a card! Today’s dies – leaves by The Stamp Market. The multi-circle die behind the leaves is by Close To My Heart

Thing 3 wants to see is use this sketch by Try a Sketch on Tuesday

I had lots of ideas come to mind for it!  Snowflakes, ornaments, flowers… but in the end, I chose autumn leaves

If you use punches or dies on your card and use that sketch, be sure to enter your card at both Double Trouble and Try a Sketch on Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today.  Can’t wait to see the cards that everyone makes with these challenges!

Double Trouble starts a fruity new challenge today!

Thing 1 wants to see fruits and fruity colors

My fruits are from Skin Says Stamp and I colored them using Zig Clean Color markers

Next up, Thing 3 wants to see you use at least one more element from Festive Fridays inspiration list

I chose gingham as well as scalloped edges to add to my fruit and fruity colors

Thing 2 has us joining along with Festive Friday!  I love their challenges! It’s so fun to look at their list and get creative on ways to add a few of the elements on it. So take a look and see how you can stretch your creativity and be sure to add your link with them too!

Thanks for stopping to see my bright fruity card!

I’ve got another die-cut-only card today!  This one is for the new challenge starting today at Double Trouble!

Thing 1 is calling for her 3-2-1 recipe! 

3- must have 3 layers

2- must have 2 embellishments

1- image (stamp, digital, or die cut!)

As you can see, my card has lots of layers!  My 2 embellishments are the pink dots and ribbon (and there’s a 3rd if you look close and see the clear dew drop in the yellow flower). And if course, my images are the cute mushrooms!

 

These dies are all by Spellbinders.  The mushrooms are so fun to inlay and put together

Thing 3 gives the optional twist to use at least 3 colors from this ice cream cone. This is the challenge at Color Dare and Thing 2 has us joining them this time around! 

I did pastel tone of pink, blue, green and yellow.  It’s an easy challenge since all the colors are there in that bright ice cream!

Thanks for stopping by to see my card, and I hope to see lots of cute cards in the Double Trouble linkup for this challenge!

I used to think that pink and brown was the best color combination ever!!! I would dress my little girls in it and would wear it myself too! But as the years went by, new color combinations became favorites and that one faded away.  So when I saw Color Hues challenge stampers to use pink and brown – it was time to revisit the old favorite!

I used Spellbinders dies and different hues of pink and brown to bring my design together

It was so fun to see this sweet combo together again!

Thanks for stopping by to check this one out.  Have a wonderful week!

It’s a new challenge at Double Trouble!

Thing 1 wants to know what makes you happy! I have so many things that make me happy in life.  One of them is seashells!  So I decided on that for my card theme

These fabulous seashells are by Gina K

Thing 3 wants to see you include a smile.  It can be the word “smile”, a smiley face, or a character that is smiling!  I chose a smile die cut that I think came from Simon Says Stamp

Thing 2 says to partner up with “If you give a crafter a cookie”

Their theme is just to be happy!  So if you made a smile card, be sure to enter it there too! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!  Are you surviving the heat? It’s time to think about the cool times of winter with a Christmas in July challenge at Double Trouble

Let’s start with the fun element that Thing 1 says to do – include a window!

I made the window be the whole front of my card

I glued some sequins to the window age the sentiment shows through from the inside.  Here’s a little better view

Those cute snowmen are from Hello Bluebird and the sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.  The frame is MFT. It all comes together perfect for Thing 3’s challenge of Christmas in July with an optional twist of snow people.

The colors I chose are non traditional for Christmas.  I was inspired by Color Throwdown’s current challenge of coral, blue, and gray

If you make a card with a snowman and a window element, you meet Thing 2’s requirement in order to play along with our partner “Jingle Bells” Dashing through the snow. So be sure to go there to enter your card! 

Thank you for stopping by and i can’t wait to see your snowmen and windows!

Hello and happy July!  There’s a new challenge up over at Double Trouble and it’s perfect for summer!

Thing 1 wants to see Dry Embossing, heat embossing, or stenciling. I chose this bubbly dry embossing folder to showcase these cute summery elements

Thing 2 wants to see elements from water parks or theme parks.  I chose water park! I don’t like theme parks in the middle of summer.  It’s too hot to stand in lines! But water parks are perfect to keep everyone cool

These cute images are from Catherine Pooler and are exactly what you’d see at a water park!  Hats, flip flops, cold drinks, and sunglasses! 

We’re teaming up with Park Hopping – My Happy Place. We hope you’ll play along with both and enter your card for us to see💗

It’s been a while since I’ve played with a Tic-Tac-Toe  challenge, and I love them!  So today, I did just that

I went with the bottom row and made a wedding card for my nephew

The main large floral piece in the back, as well as the layering pieces are all pattern paper.  I then layered floral dies over the pieces for added texture.  Then I added gems to the center of the flowers and a few sequins to finish it off

The flower dies are by Spellbinders and the congrats die was from my stash so I’m not sure where it’s from!  I love it when I get to use something that’s been sitting. I just added a few layers of gold embossing powder to it, and it was perfect for this creation

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today and I hope your week is going wonderful!
