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.

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

Happy Stamping,

Another Graduation Card

 Hello friends.  I have another graduation card to share that I made for a young lady at church.  I wasn't able to go to her graduation party today so will give it to her at church tomorrow.


The cap and the Class of 2021 was cut on my Silhouette.  I had the stars already die cut and laying on my desk from another project and I thought they would be perfect for an extra little touch.  The white panel is embossed with SU Subtle EF and the scallop mat is an MFT Blueprints 27 die.  

There is no stamping on this card so I will link to Just Us Girls Challenge - No Stamping.

Wedding Wishes

Hello friends.  Today I have a wedding card to share.

I had the trellis frame already cut twice with my Silhouette and layered it for for sturdiness, then mounted to a white card base.  I wanted to use my new Memory Box dies, Layered Fresh Flowers, so I die cut them several times in white,  and then layered the blooms.  I used the blue card to die cut the centers and then added a clear rhinestone to each flower.  The leaves are die cut with an older SU set.  The sentiment from a Verve set is heat embossed in white. I am pleased with the final result.  I think the lt. blue and white color combo make a lovely wedding card.

I will link to Memory Box Challenge - Feeling Blue.  June is the perfect time for weddings and blue is a good color.

Seize the Birthday - Nautical

 Hello friends.  We have a new challenge for you at Seize the Birthday and we also have a new Surprise Party Guest  - Melanie Hungerford.  Lindsey has chosen our "Topping" option this time and she would like our cards to be "nautical", of course the only requirement is that is has to be birthday.  

I sponged the background with SU Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, a little Dapper Denim and Bashful Blue for the sky.  I masked a couple of small cloud die cuts before blending the sky.  I used SU Sailing Home to stamp the boats and sea gulls. The waves are from an Avery Elle set.  I die cut the boats, added a little color and glued them on.  The sentiment is from SU Art Gallery.

Be sure to check out all the great cards by the team over at Seize the Birthday and join in our fun challenge.  Hope to see you in our gallery.

Congrats Grad

 Hello friends.   I have a graduation card to share today.

The school colors are royal blue and white so I used SU Pacific Point.  The graduation hat is cut with my Silhouette and the letters and numbers are cut with SU Playful Alphabet.  The Congrats is from an older SU set.  I drew the diplomal and fussy cut it.  I added gold thread around it.  The white panel is embossed with SU Subtle EF and the scalloped blue mat is cut with an MFT Blueprints 27 die.  I mounted the hat and diploma with foam tape.

I will link to Happy Little Stampers - Anything goes with dies.

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