Birthday Card for the Krafty Chicks

 Hello friends.  I have a new birthday card to share today.  

I used gingham pattern paper from my stash (also used on a previous card) and matted with black.  I die cut the white panel with a die and then cut a thin black mat to mount it on.  I mounted it with foam tape.  The flowers are cut from white with Altenew Cute Open Rose die.  I blended SU Boho Blue ink to the centers before gluing together and then added a fancy rhinestone center (Hobby Lobby).  The leaves from the rose set are cut with a green from my stash.  The sentiment is from an older SU set.

The Krafty Chicks Challenge is looking for Birthday cards so I will share there.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Joyful Christmas

 Hello friends.  I have a Christmas card to share today.  I am slowly starting to get them done, hopefully before December😉

ETA:  My card was one of the Top Picks at Krafty Chicks Christmas challenge.

I used this lovely Brass & Bliss Decorative Floral Circle die cut from white and mounted on a white card base.  I stamped the sentiment from an older SU set in Garden Green ink. The Lawn Fawn Stitched Poinsettia dies were used to cut them from SU Poppy Parade and the leaves from some green from a Recollections pack. (Michael's)   The centers are cut from SU Daffodil Delight using a die from another set.  I mounted them around the bottom left corner of the floral frame and my card was done.

I will share this at Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge - I didn't use Santa or a beach scene, but did use red as there is a lot of red in the inspiration board.

Happy Birthday

 Hello friends.  I have a new birthday card to share today and I see Krafty Chicks is looking for birthday cards so I will share my card there.

I stamped the flowers from SU Christmas Greenery and colored them with SU Flirty Flamingo and Soft Succulent (ret.) Blends.  I then cut them with a Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die.  I embossed a panel of Lost Lagoon with SU Peaceful Greenery 3D EF and them mounted the flower panel with foam tape.  This panel was glued to a white card base.  The sentiment is from a retired SU set (I love the font in this sentiment) and mounted with foam tape.

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

Happy Birthday

 Hello friends.  I have a new birthday card to share today.

I don't use orange colors much but I am loving the new Peach Pie color by Stampin Up.  I used Peach Pie card stock for the mat, scallop mat and Peach Pie pattern paper for the panel.  I embossed the white panel with the cross-hatch EF by SU (an On-line Exclusive set of 3 EF).  I stamped the image from SU Poised Peony in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with SU Peach Pie and Granny Apple Green Blends.  I die cut the circle and mounted it to the scallop mat and then to the card with foam tape.  The sentiment is from a retired SU set (love the font) and mounted with foam tape.  I colored 3 clear gems with the Dark Peach Pie Blend and added them to the card for a little bling.

I will add this to the Triple B Challenge (love make floral cards).

Happy Anniversary

 Hello friends.  I have another anniversary card to share today.  I made this one using the sketch at The Paper Players.

ETA: My card was chosen as one of the A Cut Above selections at The Paper Players.

 

The pretty flower is from SU Irresistible Blooms embossed in white on Tempting Turquoise cardstock.  The leaves are embossed on Just Jade cardstock.  I used the matching dies to die cut the images.  The pattern paper is from a retired SU pack (All Together).  I mounted them on a white panel embossed with Taylored Expressions Weathered EF and then to the white card base.  I embossed the sentiment from SU Many Mates in white on the black strip.  The flower is mounted with foam tape and the leaves glued under the edges.

I will also link to the Krafty Chicks Challenge - Anything Goes.

Happy Birthday for the Krafty Chicks Challenge

 Hello friends.  I have a birthday card I am sharing made for the Krafty Chicks Challenge - All Occasions.

 For my card I used Spellbinders Sunflower and Ladybugs die set for the flower and leaves.  I cut the flower 3 times from light yellow card and shaped the petals before gluing them together.  The kraft center is cut 2 times and the brown stamens (tiny stars) are cut 2 times and piled together with glue.  I think it turned out pretty cool.  The leaves are cut from Pear Pizzazz and shaped with my stylus.  I had this golden tan card (from a friend), cut to 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 and embossed it with Spellbinders Flowers and Leaves EF.  I stamped the sentiment from SU Go To Greetings in Early Espresso on white and cut a strip to go across the card and added Early Espresso strips under the edges of the panel, then glued to the embossed panel.  I glued the flowers and leaves above the sentiment panel and glued the whole panel to a white card base.

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

Make My Monday - Love is in the Air

 Hello friends.  I have an anniversary card for the new Make My Monday Challenge - Love is in the Air.  I thought an anniversary card was perfect for this theme as there is always love in the air when celebrating an anniversary.

I used Memory Box LaRue Heart to die cut the heart from a white panel.  I then embossed the panel with SU Tasteful Textile EF, glued it to the red panel and then glued the white heart back in.  The banner and sentiment are from SU Always in My Heart Stamp & die set (ret.).  I folded the ends of the banner and mounted it with foam tape in the middle and glued the ends down.  I added some red rhinestones for a little bling.

Sweetest Season for The Paper Players

 Hello friends.  I have another Christmas card to share today and I made this one for The Paper Players Challenge - CAS Christmas

ETA:  My card was chosen as one of the A Cut Above at the Paper Players.

 

The candy canes are from Reverse Confetti Joys of the Season. I have had this set for several years but this is the first time I have used it.  It has several lovely images and I am sure I will be using it again.  I stamped them with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.  I then die cut them with the matching die and mounted them with foam tape to a panel embossed with SU Tasteful Textile EF (ret.).  The sentiment is from SU Sweetest Time (ret.), stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink and mounted with foam tape.

Christmas Blessings

 Hello friends.  I have another Christmas card to share today.

ETA:  My card was a Top Pick at The Krafty Chicks

 

and also a Team Pick at Tic Tac Toe Challenge 

 

and an Honorable Mention at The Flower Challenge. 

I made my card using the Tic Tac Toe Challenge board and went with the left row down (green, holiday floral and scoring or embossing) and the middle row across (holiday floral, free, and red).

 

I used Spellbinders Holiday Blooms for the pretty poinsettias in Real Red and foliage in Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi.  I layered 2 large and 1 small poinsettias together and added 3 gold gems in the middle.  I added these to a white panel embossed with Spellbinders Forever green EF and then to a thin mat of Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment from Taylored Expressions In and Out Christmas is gold embossed, then fussy cut.and mounted with foam tape.  I also added Wink of Stella to the small buds but it doesn't show up in the photo.

I am adding this to The Flower Challenge - Add Embellishments (gold beads to the flower centers)

I Spot Someone Who's Having a Birthday

 Hello friends.  I have a birthday card to share today that I made for a cute little one that turned one this past weekend.

I used MFT Saddle Up and Celebrate stamps and die set.  All the images and sentiment are from that set except the fence and grass dies which are from a new SU set.  I cut the fence from woodgrain paper and 3 grass pieces from green card.  I colored the images with alcohol markers and mounted them with foam tape on a panel sponged with lt. blue for the sky and green for the grass area.  I matted the panel on a Soft Suede mat and then to the card base.

I will link to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
