Happy Mail Hello

Hello!

My card will be entered into the Challenges at Power Poppy, Happy Mail, Simon Says Monday, Summer Garden and Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!

 

I used the Power Poppy digital set, Dancing Daffodils.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  Then I grabbed a bunch of different colors and added dots.....everywhere!  Die-Versions Curly Words Hello die, cut in several layers of card stock and one layer of fun foam, adds so much dimension. 

 

Crystal Drops in Dandelion Yellow, a little Sakura Glaze Pen and a bit of Sheer Ribbon for accents. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Enjoy~~



Repeat After Me!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm hosting this week's Challenge over at the Mod Squad Blog!  Hope you're up for a new Challenge, this one will be easy AND fun!

Challenge

Repeat After Me!  You MUST use the same stamp at least 3 times on your creation.  Why 3 you ask.....because;  The 'rule of threes' says that things arranged in odd numbers are more appealing, memorable, and effective than even-numbered groupings.

This Weeks Sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

All the stamps and Fri-Dies are designed by Michele , and are based on her love for Clean And Simple design, hence the CAS in CAS-ual. However, they will delight any stamper's style! Whether you are a CAS enthusiast or a lover of Utterly Adorable Layers, you will have a blast getting inky with them. 

The stamps are made in the USA of the finest clear photopolymer, and the coordinating line of wafer thin dies are also made in the USA.

  2 Prizes

2 - $15 Gift Certificate each to the STORE

My 1st Card

I used the pretty flowers from the Girlfriend stamp set as well as the Friendly Flowers die.  The wonderful sentiment, is just that Wonderful Words.  Inks in; Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Wild Wasabi.  Sentiment in Tuxedo Black and Melon Mambo inks.   Spellbinders Labels 4 dies.  Pink and white gingham ribbon and enamel dots for accents.  A bit of Wink Of Stella Clear Pen for shimmer.

My 2nd Card

 

More pretty little flowers from the Girlfriend stamp set.  I stamped lots of flowers, large and small in many inks; Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Wild Wasabi.  Once I was happy with my stamping I cut the panel in 3 equal parts.  Using pop dots I placed my panel on my card base.  BUT I first stamped my sentiments, front and inside, using Tuxedo Black ink.  Also one more little flower on the inside for accent.  Cutting out the Love Ya die in black card stock I adhered it to my center panel.



 

 

How's this for a FUN sentiment?  LOVE it!

 

 

 

 

I will also be entering these into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Summer Garden.

Here's what I used:

Girlfriend

Friendly Flowers

Wonderful Words

Love Ya

Blue Umbrella

Hello!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Scrapy Land, Anything Goes, Double D, Photo Inspiration and Simon Says Monday, Summer Garden.

 

Again, I just pulled all of the shades of blues, peaches, and oranges.

 



 

MFT Die-Namics Layered Umbrella, Cross Stitched Rectangles and Bracket Edge Duo dies.  Simon Says Sunshine die.  Poppy Stamps Dogwood Blossom Corner die, which has been snipped apart.  Stamped sentiment from Papertrey Ink, Simple Sunflowers. 

 



 

I colored the mini Adhesive Pearls with a Copic Marker.  And added a bunch of 'randomly' placed Sequins.  The Sunshine die has been layered on chip board.

 

You know my issue with the earlier card.....still feel the same about this one too.  Weird! 

 

 

Enjoy~~ 

Orange Umbrella

Good Morning!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Sunshine, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes, Double D, Photo Inspiration and Simon Says Monday Summer Garden.



Optional To Make An Anniversary/Wedding Card

 

I just pulled all of the shades of blues, peaches, and oranges (well now I'm hungry!)

 

 

MFT Die-Namics Layered Umbrella, Cross Stitched Rectangles and Bracket Edge Duo dies.  Simon Says Sunshine die.  Poppy Stamps Dogwood Blossom Corner die, which has been snipped apart.  Stamped sentiment from Papertrey Ink, Simple Sunflowers. 



 

I colored the mini Adhesive Pearls with a Copic Marker.  And added a bunch of 'randomly' placed Sequins.  The Sunshine die has been layered on chip board.

 

This card (and the next one, as they are basically the same in reversed colors) sets a little uneasy with me.  Am I really sending sunshine when it clearly looks like rain drops under my umbrella die cut??  Yet, I have some flowers and it says.....I am sending sunshine.....Oh I'll figure it out.....eventually!

 

Thanks for popping in out of the rain....I guess.  lol

 

Enjoy~~  

 

    





Blooming Garden

Hello again!

This next card will be entered into the Challenges at Cheery Lynn, Lots Of Layers, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes, Memory Box, Water Color, Stamping Sensation, Feature A Creature, and Penny Black, Flower Power.

 

I just love this stamp set from Penny Black, Blooming Garden.  It's full of beautiful flowers!  Using my regular inks and a water brush I 'water colored' the images on water color paper, after stamping in Black Licorice ink.  Then I cut my panel into thirds mounting them on Black card stock so the colors would POP!  Then that panel was mounted on to some Pumpkin Spice card stock.  The striped Designer Paper is by American Crafts.  

 

 

 

Fanciful Flourish by Cheery Lynn cut in green card stock and snipped apart.  Cutting Memory Box's Butterfly Exhibit die also out of water color paper, I colored them using the same technique as the poppies.  I also cropped them.  Topped with some Crystal Drops for accents.  Eyelets.

 

Thanks for fluttering by.

 

Enjoy~~



You're A Classic

Hello!  It's been awhile....but I'm back!

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges; Stamp TV, Black & White With A Pop Of Color, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes! and Paper Smooches, Layers.

This was one of those quick cards.  I have a very difficult time with masculine cards.  Perhaps I should try to make more of them, maybe that would help???  I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, Masculine Tags.  Spellbinders Labels 2 dies.  Foliage 2 dies by Paper Smooches. 

 

Blue buttons, thin ribbon and Baker's Twine for accents.  I have been trying to figure out what car model uses fern like images in their logo, I am certain there is one and I am certain it is out of my price range!

 

Thanks so much for the drive-by!

 

Enjoy~~

DONNA'S PROJECT

I used the beautiful Painted Poppy stamp and die set from AlteNew.  One of my most favorites!  I die cut the poppy out of a layer of rustic white card stock.  I then stamped the image on another piece which I layered below the die cut panel, this is a 3 step stamp.  Adhering Fun Foam to the die cut panel I then glued it down, lining the cut up with my colored image.  This adds quite a bit of dimension and gives the card a nice solid feel for mailing.  

Splattered craft paints in 2 shades of pink all over the front panel using my handy dandy toothbrush.  I love this look, it is easy and quite fun to do!  Sentiment stamped in Black Licorice ink.  A Black and White Gingham Ribbon Tab to add some interest.  Crystal Drops in Ebony and 'randomly' (wink, wink) placed Iridescent Sequins.
