For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday sketch challenge, I have made a sympathy card with the Lovely & Sweet stamp bundle. I love doing sketch challenges because the layout is already done for me, all I had to do was add my own touches. To achieve that I created my base layers with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty paper. Next, the focal point was made by stamping the floral image (from …
Happy Thursday! Today I have a card made with Stippled Roses in Calypso Coral. I had originally made this card for a TGIF challenge and was supposed to post it last week. However, since I was too busy preparing for and attending Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Houston, I wasn’t able to get it done. So, I am sharing it today.😀 Before I get into the details of the card, I wanted to share a little …
For a Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge, I have a Cheerful Daisies Meets Planted Paradise card. Once a month, I participate in a card challenge for Stampin’ Fancy Friday. This month we were challenged to make something in the color blue. Well, I love the color blue, so this one was right up my alley. I also love to pair a couple of stamp sets together, so I had a lot of fun creating this one! …
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Love Is In The Air.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. Although Love is in the air is our theme for this month’s blog hop, it doesn’t necessarily mean Valentine’s Day. With …
Happy Thursday! Today we are going to be Wishing Big with the Hot Air Balloon bundle. I have had the Hot Air Balloon suite for some time, so I thought I better start using it. I’m really not sure why I waited either, it is a lot of fun! I especially love the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. They remind me of the old embellishments (candy dots) that Stampin’ Up! used to carry, the kind that matched …
Happy Friday! It’s another theme challenge for #TGIFC456 and I’m using the new Cake Fancy stamp set. For this fun challenge, the Cake Fancy stamp set fits the theme perfectly! This stamp set is a lot of fun and can be used for any occasion. This birthday cake happens to be chocolate, but would also be great in a vanilla or red velvet. All three sound delicious to me!! You can find this stamp set …
Happy Friday! I have a Translucent Florals card for you today for the #TGIFC446 Sketch Challenge. I love a good sketch challenge, and this one is no exception! It is a great layout and gives you multiple layers, which makes me really happy!! Sketch challenges are a lot of fun and take the guess work out of coming up with a card design. It’s all done for you so all you have to do is …
Today I have an embossed birthday Card with Inked & Tiled. This is a special-embossed card. It is not embossed one way, but actually two! There is embossing paste mixed with ink and some dry embossing is done with an embossing folder. I also had a lot of fun incorporating some color into this one. The ink color, Blueberry Bushel is used three different ways!! Before I share how I made this card, here are …
