Wedding Card

 Hello friends.  Today I am sharing the wedding card I made for my grandson and girlfriend who are getting married this weekend.  Navy is their main color so I found this shiny navy card at Michaels and thought it was perfect to use. 

 I die cut the panel with Pinkfresh Sparkling Diamonds Coverplate and glued it to the white card base.  the flowers and stems were cut from white with MFT dies.  I shaped the layers with my stylus, glued them together and added a fancy rhinestone (Hobby Lobby) to the center of each flower.  I glued the leaves under the edges of the petals.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments stamp & die set.  I stamped it in SU Misty Moonlight and mounted with foam tape after die cutting it.

This photo shows the shine on the navy panel.

I will share this at the Inkspirtional Challenge #359 - Shades of Blue.

and also at Color Hues - Blue and White.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and stay safe and warm.

Happy Stamping,

Color Hues - Blue & White

 Hello friends.  I have a birthday card I made for Color Hues Challenge - Blue & White.  Blue is my favorite color so I had to play along.

I cut a panel of SU Azure Afternoon, then used a die from Concord & 9th Festive Corner Cuts Dies to cut the bottom left corner.  I then embossed the panel with Taylored Expressions Weathered EF and mounted it to the white card base.  The 3 flowers are cut with Altenew Cute Open Rose dies.  I flicked a gray marker to the centers before gluing the layers together, and also shaped the petals for dimension.  I glued the 3 flowers along the angle of the die cut.  The sentiment was stamped with Gina K. Designs Elegant Thoughts and cut with the matching die.  I mounted it with foam tape and my card was done.

You should check out all the fabulous cards by the design team and the ones in the gallery.

I will also add this to the Inkspirational Challenge - Shades of Blue.

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

Happy Birthday for the Inkspirational Challenge

 Hello friends.  I made a birthday card for the Inkspirational Challenge - Word Prompt Curve

ETA:  Wow, my card was a weekly winner at Make the Cards Challenge.

 

Here is my card with lots of curves.

I used an older Cuttlebug EF with lots of curves and a perfect place to stamp the sentiment.  I added the flowers in a curve along the bottom of the embossed section.  I stamped the flowers from SU Boughs & Blooms in Regal Rose and Misty Moonlight, then fussy cut them out. They are mounted with foam tape.  I punched two boughs of leaves from the matching punch and added them to the sides.  The two leaves at the bottom were snipped off of the punched boughs.  The sentiment is from SU Happy Moments.

This is my first time using the new SU Boughs & Blooms so I will link to Darnell's NBUS challenge.

 

and also to Make the Cards Challenge - Use an Embossing Folder.

 

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

Happy Stamping,

Another card for Inkspirational Challenge

I have another card for the Inkspirational Challenge.

This time I am CASEing myself with this card I made in 2016.

I made this card for my sister's birthday.  I used Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose stamps & dies for the flower and leaves.  I colored them with Copics, die cut them, and them layered them after shaping the petals with my stylus.  The papers are from a Recollections pad and the sentiment is from Verve Cake & Candles.

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

Happy Birthday for Inkspirational Challenge

I am playing in the Inkspirational Challenge - Word Prompt CASE.

I chose to copy this card from Lin on Sending Hugs blog.  I love her style and she has fabulous cards on her blog.

Here is my card.

I used similar colors, different papers, different butterflies, and a different sentiment.  The butterflies are from an older Hero Arts Sizzix stamp and die set.  I colored them with Promarkers and then die cut them.  I glued just the body down so the wings would stand out.  The sentiment is from SU Butterfly Basics.  The pattern paper is from Hobby Lobby.  I used SU Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  I added some blue glitter enamel dots. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Joy to the World

Hello friends.  I am almost finished with my Christmas cards and this is one I loved making.  It shows the true meaning of Christmas.

The Joy die is from Cottage Cutz and I have used it on several cards.  For this one I cut it from textured gold paper and mounted it with foam tape to a circle die cut.   The sentiment is from Concord & 9th Joy Stamp set.  I cut it with a fishtail die and mounted it with foam tape also.  The gold foil stripe paper is from Craft Smith Love Story 12x12 pad.

I am linking my card up to three challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Christams

Time Out Challenge -  Joyful

Inkspirational - Anything Christmas Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
