So Many Cards...

So Many cards to make and too little time!  I am taking advantage of spring break and playing with stamps- it is pouring outside anyway.  I have made a couple of cards so far today.  One is an old OWH sketch that I really loved; I just changed the color scheme to give it a whole new look.  The other is for the Queen 4 the Day Challenge at SCS.

I used the Sale-a-Bration Fresh Vintage stamp stamp again; the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes set.  Other ingredients include:

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Attic Boutique dsp, Patterns dsp

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Daffodil Delight, Apricot Appeal, Gray

Other: 1" square punch, white organza ribbon, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Simply Scored, Dimensionals

This is the first time inking up this stamp, and I must say, I love it!  Congrats to Melina at SCS for being Queen 4 a Day!  Ingredients used here include:

Stamps- Mixed Bunch, Party this Way

Paper- Naturals White, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Certainly Celery

Ink- Regal Rose, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade

 The Mojo is running dry.  This card did not come together easily.  it is for Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge- create a card that uses both dark and light- opposite colors such as black and white, brown and ivory.  This is also for the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

This will be a graduation card for a friend's daughter.  Blue has always been a favorite color of hers.  All products are Stampin' Up.  Ingredients are:

Stamps- Word Play, Kindness Matters, Mixed Bunch

Paper- Naturals Ivory, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Patterns dsp

Ink- Chocolate Chip

Other- dimensionals, Baja Breeze seam binding, Beautiful wings die, adhesive pearls.  

The flower was made by punching two 1.75" scallop circles and cutting petals into them.  They are on dimensionals as is the center of the flower which is punched with a 1" circle punch. 

Thanks so much for stopping by; your feedback is gretly appreciated!  Blessings!

Woo Hoo! It's Spring Break!

I am so excited that it is spring break and I anticipate having LOTS of time to craft!  Today I tried out 2 punch art cards.  I CASEd the bunny punch art and redesigned the card itself.  The other, the wreath, I designed myself and made it for the challenge at ColourQ this week. 

I absolutely love greens.  This color challenge was made for me!  I do not have Going Gray, so I had to substitute with an unknown gray from my cardstock stash. 

This card uses Stampin' Up's Little Leaves die and the 4 petal punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack punch set.  I have used the greens in the challenge- Stampin' Up Glorious Green, Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi.  The sentiment is from the Trendy Trees Stampin' Up set.  The bow is white Baker's Twine.  The flower centers are made by coloring with a Daffodil Delight marker and then adding a tiny white pearl to the center. 

 This Easter bunny was made using Stampin' Up's ornament punch, large oval punch, 1/2 inch circle punch, hearts punch, circle from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack, and the tiny circles from the hole punch on the Crop-A-Dile.  The Bunny Body is a 1 3/4 inch scallop circle punch. 
The cardstock used is Calypso Coral and Whisper White and the dsp is from the Sale-a-bration pack from Stampin' Up.  The grass is stamped in Lucky Limeade (Inspired by Nature stamp set) and the butterfly was made with the Beautiful Wings embosslit from Stampin' Up. 

Thanks so much for looking and, as always, your comments are greatly appreciated!

Cool Colors

I have not had a lot of time to play this week, but I really wanted to play in the challenge at Paper Players- using the colors Wisteria, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, and Pear Pizzaz.  I do not have Pear Pizzaz so I used Certainly Celery and  Wild Wasabi as Pear Pizzaz seems to be a cross of these two colors.

I thought my new Stampin' Up set, Array of Sunshine, would be perfect for these colors.  I fussy cut the flowers and leaves stamped in Pool Party, Wisteria, Certainly Celery, and Wild Wasabi and then popped up layers on each flower and one of the leaves.  The card base is Crumb Cake embossed with the polka dot embossing folder.  The card front is framed with a Wisteria frame that is popped up on dimensionals. Pearls add the finishing touch.  The sentiment is from the set Curly Cute.

Thanks so much for stopping by and, as always, thanks so much for your feedback!

The challenge at ODBD this week is to use aqua or topaz with our favorite scripture to celebrate their 4th birthday.  The Clean and Simple challenge at SCS this week is to make a card that is white with shades of blue.  Well, I can't exactly call this card simple, but it is white and blue! 

I am not usually one for blue cards, but I really like how this one turned out.  I was going for the layered look.

Stamps- Scripture set from ODBD, Ironworks frame
Paper- Bashful Blue and Whisper White CS (SU)
dp-Authentique
ink-black (SU)
