Spring Florals for STB

 Hello Friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Linda wants to see Spring Floral on our cards.  Of course, this is right up my alley as I love making floral cards (which 90% of my cards are).😉

 

 For my card I used a new to me floral set form Newton's Nook callked Easter Lily (very appropriate since Easter is this Sunday).  I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  I fussy cut the image as I did not have a die for it.  The sentiment is from The Greetery Arched Sentiments and cut with the matching die.  I mounted the sentiment and flowers with foam tape to a white panel die cut with Sunny Studios Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace (scalloped frame) along with Sunny Studios Frilly Frames Lattice (inner section).  I saw this card by Lin and love the lattice frame look.  The frame was mounted to a light green panel and then to a white card base.

I will link to Darnell's NBUS challenge as this is my first time using this stamp set.

 

 

Be sure to check out all the gorgeous floral cards by the team and our guests over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope to see you in our gallery. 

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

Happy Stamping,

Happy Mail for The Paper Players

 Hello friends.  I am glad you stopped by.  I have a card for a friend that is in the hospital and I thought she would enjoy this cute card to cheer her up  She is a fellow cardmaker and loves getting handmade cards.

Edit:  My card was one of the A Cut Above at the Paper Players:

I used Newton's Nook Sending Happy Mail for the inage and sentiment.  I colored the image with SU Blends and Promarkers.  I sponged Pear Pizzazz for the ground and Bashful Blue (retired) for the sky.  I die cut the panel with SU Stitched Rectangle die and matted with a thin black mat.  The card front in embossed with SU Tasteful Textile EF.

I will link to The Payer Players challenge as LeAnne wants cards with a Feline Fix.

 

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

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

 Hello friends.  I have a Christmas card to share today.  It is for the CAS Christmas Card Challenge -  Dogs and or Cats.

 

 I stamped the cute kitties from Newton's Nook Caroling Newton in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Promarkers.  I added some white Flower Soft to the hat brims and pompoms on the 2 kitties on the right.  I fussy cut the image and mounted with foam tape to a stitched rectangle die cut that I embossed with SU Snowfall EF.   The sentiment is from the same set and I fussy cut it and added it with foam tape also. I added a thin red mat and then added it to my card base.

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

Happy Stamping,

Seize the Birthday - Stencils

Happy Thursday crafty friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday.  Nancy is our host and she would like us to use stencils on our birthday cards.

I used Tim Holtz Splatters stencil and DOI Frayed Burlap for my background panel.  The pretty flowers are from Newton's Nook Peony Blooms with matching dies.  I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with SU Real Red and Granny Apple Green Blends.  I die cut them and then mounted them with foam tape on the white panel which is matted with Real Red card.  The sentiment is from a retired SU set.  I wasn't too sure about the stenciled background but I really like the card, I hope you do also.

I am linking to CAS Stencil - Use a New Stencil. This is a fairly new stencil and this is the first time I have used it.


And also to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge -Use a Stencil.

Happy Stamping,
