Combining Old and New

 Hello friends.  I was inspired by a couple of challenges to create my card today.

Just Us Girls - Die Week: Forgotten Favorite and Triple B Challenge - inspired by the white daisies in their mood board.

 

I had these MFT Uspsy Daisy Dies out for my card the other day and thought they would be perfect for these two challenges.  I have had them for over 12 years and love them.  I thought they would be perfect for the white daisies in the Trible B mood board so I cut 3 of them and layered them together, adding the yellow centers.  I added some Wink of Stella to the centers but it doesn't show up well in the photo.  I embossed a panel of Beige cardstock from a Recollections pack with my new Altenew Crisscross Blooms EF and glued it to a white card base.  The stem and leaves are cut using Simon Says Stampe Layered Perky Flower - I clipped the blooms off and added the white daisies.  The sentiment is from SU Go To Greetings (ret.) and mounted with foam tape.

I will also add this to Darnell's NBUS #88 Mutual Appreciation Celebration as this is the first time using the Altenew EF. Be sure to check out Darnell's post on this wonderful challenge.  She has done an excellent job inspiring all of us.

Thanks so much for topping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Happy Anniversary

 Hello friends.  I have a new anniversary card to share today.  This one is for a sweet couple at church and I have one more to make for July.

I used Altenew Cute Open Rose dies for the flowers and cut them from a scrap piece of aqua card., then added a fancy rhinestone (Hobby Lobby) to the centers.  The leaves are cut using a die from a Spellbinders set.  The lt. aqua panel is from my stash and is embossed with Spellbinders Diamond Plaid EF.  I cut the white arch panel and stamped the sentiment from a Stampin Up set and then mounted it with foam tape.  I glued the flowers on and then glued the leaves under the petals and my card was done.

I will add this to the Triple B July Challenge - I always love making floral cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #296

 Hello friends.  I have a new birthday card to share today which is for my great-granddaughter's birthday and she loves pink and green.

I embossed a panel with SU Exposed Brick EF (ret.) and glued it to the card base. Then I added a strip of Mint Macaron gingham paper across the center.  I die cut a Mint Macon scalloped circle and a white plain circle to stamp the sentiment in SU Peaceful Pine ink.  I glued the circles together and mounted with foam tape.  The pretty flowers are die cut using MFT Upsy Daisy dies.  I cut them from SU Barely Blush and blended Flirty Flamingo ink to the centers before gluing together.  I added a fancy rhinestone to the centers and glued them to opposite sides of the circle.  The leaves from a Spellbinders set are cut from Mint Macaron and added under the flowers.  I really like the finished card and I know she will also.
