Seize the Birthday - Stripes

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Vicki has chosen stripes as our topping option.

 

  The striped paper is from SU Hand Penned and the pretty white frame is from SU Ornate Layers dies.  I stamped the flower, bud and leaves from Pretty Pink Posh Peonies stamp set, colored them with Copics and then die cut them with the matching dies.  I mounted the large flower with foam tape and glued the bud and leaves under it.  The sentiment is from SU Magnolia Blooms (retired).  I love the font in this sentiment and use it quite a lot.

Be sure to check out all the great cards by the team and our new "Party Guest" Jenny, over at Seize the  Birthday.   I hope to see you in our gallery.

I will link to The Flower Challenge - Use a Die 

 

 

 Happy Stamping,

Hello

 Hi friends.  I have a card for a friend that I made with the theme from CAS Mix-Up - Stamping Through Stencil.

 

I was inspired by Bonnie's card the way she stamped the script through the stencil on the flowers.  I love making cards with flowers so this is how mine turned out.

  I used Pretty Pink Posh Peonies Stencil and DOI Picked Raspberry & Bundled Sage inks.  I used the same flower and masked off sections of the stencil, stamped the script from SU Very Versallies in Crumb Cake ink after sponging each flower and leaves individually.  I used a yellow marker to add the dots to the center of the flowers.  I then die cut the panel with a stitched oval die and mounted it with foam tape on a panel embossed with SU Dainty Diamonds EF.  I used Bundled Sage DOI to ink a small scrap and then die cut the hello sentiment.  I die cut 2 white layers, glued them all  together and then to the card front..  

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

Happy Stamping,

Freshly Made Sketches 440

Hello friends.  I have another thank you card I am sharing.  This one was for my sister also, and was made using Freshly Made Sketches 440.

I used Pretty Pink Posh Cherry Blossoms for the flowers and leaves.  I colored the flowers with SU Mango Melody Blends and stamped the leaves on the green pattern paper I used to mat the yellow plaid paper (from a friend).  The plaid paper is die cut with a die from SU Stitched Rectangles dies.  I fussy cut the flowers and leaves and mounted the flowers with foam tape.  I also used the green pattern paper to stamp the sentiment from SU Good Morning Magnolia and die cut with a die from Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The white is also from the same die set and mounted with foam tape.  I added yellow rhinestones to the flower centers to finish the card.

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

Joy to the World

Hello friends.  I finally got a card made for CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Christmas Song.

I have been wanting to use these cute angels from Pretty Pink Posh and since it has Joy to the World as one of the sentiments, I chose to use it.  I have had them for quite a while but this is my first time using them.

I started with a piece of X-Press It Blending card and sponged on some Broken China DOI.  I flicked water on it  and then then flicked on some Perfect Pearls - my first time doing both of these techniques.  I really like the way it turned out.  I stamped the cute Angel Friends and banner and colored them with Copics.  I curved the sentiment and stamped it on the banner.  I cut them with the matching dies but ending up trimming around the angels by hand.  I mounted them with foam tape and then added a thin mat with some matching card.

I will link this to Darnell's NBUS (never before used schtuff)  April challenge as this is my frist time using this adorable stamp set and also the Perfect Pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you are staying safe and well.

Happy Stamping,

Wishing You a Lovely Birthday

This card will be going to a special friend.

I created my card using the splashing technique for the background panel using Victorian Velvet DI and then I colored the Pretty Pink Posh Cherry Blossoms that I stamped and die cut.  I hope this qualifies for the CAS Mix Up Challenge (color your die cuts) and also the CAS Watercolor Challenge - Using Splash Watercoloring.

I used a die that I recently got from AE and the sentiment is from PTI Vintage Linens.  I really love the Cherry Blossom stamp and die set and I colored them with Copics and mounted them with foam tape.  The white panel is mounted with foam tape also.  The card base is SU Blushing Bride which matched the distress ink.

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

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
