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,

Be My Valentine

 I have a valentine card to share today.  I made this for a couple of challenges and used 3 different SU stamp sets - Meant to Be (top white heart and inside sentiment), Heartfelt (red scallop heart and heart dies), Always in My Heart (for the sentiment and banner die cut).

ETA: My card was chosen as one of the winners at Make the Card Challenge.

The red panel is embossed with an older Darice EF.  The die cut banner is stamped in Real Red ink and folded on the crease lines.  I glued the folds, added a red rhinestone, and mounted the banner with foam tape.  The hearts are also stamped in Real Red ink and die cut with the matching dies.

Here is a photo of the inside.

Happy Birthday in Fall Colors

 Hello friends, thanks for stopping by.  I have a birthday card to share using new stamps, dies, stencil, and fall colors for a few challenges.

This is my first time using the Altenew Cone Flower stamps and dies.  It is a layered stamp but I chose to stamp the flower and color it with SU Bleends:  Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Soft Suede and Old Olive.  After die cutting the image I did a little fussy cutting on the white border so it wouldn't show on the Altenew Sphere Stencil.  I used Frayed Burlap DOI on the stencil and off set it on the edge.  After sponging I embossed the panel with SU Tasteful Textile EF.  The sentiment is from SU Sweet As A Peach, stamped in Soft Suede ink.  I cut the slanted ends and mounted both the sentiment and flower with foam tape.

Make the Cards Challenge #23

 Hello friends.  I have a birthday card I made using the sketch at Make the Cards Challenge.

 

I had the Pinkfresh Studio Hanging Florals already stamped, colored and die cut and thought it would be a perfect fit for the circle element, so I cut off the stop part of the image and placed it on a die cut cirlcle of Pear Pizzazz striped paper.  This was placed on a white panel embossed with SU Tasteful Texture EF.  I then added a thin mat of Pear Pizzazz CS.  The sentiment is from the new SU Sweet As A Peach set.  I angled the ends of the sentiment strip and glued it down over the circle.

 

A friend suggested I add it to The Flower Challenge as it has stripes so I will link it there. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate your comments.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Make the Cards Color Challenge

 Hello friends.  I have a birthday card to share today using the colors from Make the Card Challenge.

 

For my card I used this pretty flower from SU Hand-Penned Petals and colored it with Calypso Coral and Old Olive Blends.  I then die cut it with the matching die and mounted it with foam tape to a white scallop panel cut with a SU Scalloped Contours die.  I first stamped the sentiment and then embossed it with the Tasteful Texture EF before mounting the flower.  This panel is glued to a blue scallop panel cut with a die from the same Contours die set.  For a final touch I added an orange rhinestone to the center of the smallest flower.

 

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

Make the Cards Challenge

 Hello friends.  Today I am guesting as a Featured Creator over on Make the Cards Challenge where we have a sketch for you.

 

This is my card

and this is the sketch

I stamped the small flowers from SU Art Gallery 3 times in the new Polished Pink ink and snipped just the flowers to represent the circles in the sketch.  The pattern paper and the strip of cardstock is the new Soft Succulent color.  The sentiment is from SU  In Bloom stamped in Soft Succulent ink and mounted with foam tape.  I added 3 pink rhinestones to finish my card.

Be sure to check out all the great cards by the designers over at Make the Cards Challenge and join in the fun.
