More fun with Papertrey Ink's Growth stamp set

 Hello again,

I'm back today with some more cards featuring Papertrey Ink's Growth stamp and die set, Honey Bee Stamps Thanks a bunch stamps and Papertrey Classic Words die set for the sentiments.  

I have started to sell some of my cards at a local gift shop and have another one in mind that is part of a garden nursery, so these cards are just some ideas I have and then I'll choose my favorites to take there.

Which one is your favorite?  I think mine is the 2nd one, but it's hard to say.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Leave a comment and come back soon!

 

Seize the Birthday! card challenge #245

 Hi again!

I'm back today with a few birthday cards for the Seize the Birthday card challenge.

 

The first card uses Papertrey ink "Growth" stamp set and dies for the plants and the sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.  I loved this color combo and figured it would work for masculine cards as well, which I always struggle with.  

The next card is super simple but fun, and also a great masculine card.  I used the sentiments from Honey Bee Stamps again and some enamel dots and popped everything up on foam tape for added dimension.

The last one is a fun and colorful balloon-themed card.  

Which one is your favorite?  

Thanks for stopping by!

MFT Color Challenge 194

 Hi there,

I'm back today with a fun color challenge from MFT.

The stamps are spring peonies from Honey Bee stamps.  The jar is a shaker die from Alinacutle.

It's Wednesday Blitzday! MFT Challenge Sketch 601

 

Hi there, 

I'm back today with a sketch challenge from My Favorite Things.

I decided to make a birthday card and turned the sketch sideways.  I cut the letters with my Silhouette Portrait and used various masculine-looking patterned papers from over the years.

Time Out Challenges - Be Kind

Hi there! 

Hope your summer is going well so far.  We had a lovely trip to visit family and friends but it's good to be home and to get back to cardmaking.  Today I am participating in the Time Out Challenge- Be Kind

I remembered a stamp set from Stampin' Up! with a phrase about kindness in it, so I built the card around that.  The other stamps are Honey Bee Spring Peony set.  I had some lovely metallic pink paper from Amazon that I used for the background.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Throwdown ctd698

Hi there,

Today I'm participating in the darling Color Throwdown ctd698 challenge.  I just love strawberries and had fun with this inspiration.

Here's my take on it:

The flower dies are from Spellbinders and the Strawberries are from Amazon, I think.  I've had them a few years.  

Here's the inspiration photo:

Color Throwdown ctd692 Card Challenge

Today I'm participating in the Color Throwdown ctd692.  The colors are purple, pink, gold and white.  

I wanted to try a full-card shaker card which I have never tried before, and I happened to have a confetti mix with butterflies in it as well as these colors.  Perfect!

My kids loved this.  Hope you do too!  Thanks for stopping by!

The Card Concept Card Challenge #

 

Today I am participating in the Card Concept challenge #175:

While I was down with Covid last week I watched some fun tutorial on shaker cards.  I haven't made any in a very long time, so it was time to try one out, and these colors are perfect because I happened to have confetti in just the right combo.  

I was inspired by the colors and the lemons- circle shapes! 

This was so fun to make and pretty simple once you create the areas for the sequins to go with foam tape.  I love the shape too- I don't make very many slimline cards but love this die with 3 circles.  My kids loved this card out of the three shakers I made.  The others will be featured soon!
