Modern Happy Birthday Card

Good afternoon! I hope you had a fantastic weekend and Mother's Day. It seemed to go by way too fast and I really didn't get anything accomplished. This morning I was up early to play catch-up on laundry and I found some time to make this Modern Happy Birthday Card. I used the Lacy & Lovely stamp set and Chevron embossing folder both by Stampin' Up!. This week Dynamic Duos is having their one year anniversary celebration. You can pick any colour combo from their previous challenges. I picked Basic Black, Melon Mambo and Whisper White from their seventh challenge. I added a little bling and a few silver brads for detail and I heat embossed the sentiment.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

My Modern Happy Birthday Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Dynamic Duos: Colour

Washi Tape Thank You Card

Hello! It's a beautiful Friday morning here in Oklahoma. The birds are singing and the sun is shining. I need to go outside and plant the a few things before they die in the pots I bought them in. But... before I do that, I want to share a sneak peek at this Washi Tape Thank You Card I made with the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape by Stampin' Up! It's new in the upcoming catalog release. The pansy flower and the sentiment are from the new hostess stamp set called Morning Meadow.

My intentions earlier this week was to make a card using the new Washi Tape, but I never got around to it. Last night, I decided to look up the current Retro Sketches challenge and their sketch was perfect for the idea I wanted to create. This Thank You Card has a casual feel but it still has plenty of colour. The pansy was stamped in Melon Mambo and then fussy cut (the new catalog has a coordinating punch). Melon Mambo is such a pretty bright colour. I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by and have a FABulous weekend!!!

My Washi Tape Thank You Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Retro Sketches: Sketch
•  613 Avenue Create: Anything Goes
• Divas by Design: Anything Goes

 

Handmade Card for Dad

Good afternoon! This morning after I read a couple of challenges, I went straight to work making this Handmade Card for Dad. It could be used for Father's Day, Birthday or Just Because I decided to send my Dad a card. I LOVE my woodgrain embossing folder by Stampin' Up! and the challenge this week at Just Add Ink is to use woodgrain, challenge accepted! To decide the other elements of my card I combined the following challenges:

• Cute Card Thursday: Something Blue
• Cards und More: Animal Friends
• Nutcrafters: Bingo (Die Cuts, Free & Embossing)

The design is a classic and simple layout, but I didn't want to cover up the woodgrain. The owl seemed to be a natural choice for my animal friend and I used the Cricut machine to cut the letters and circles. I added some jute twine by American Crafts for the final touch and I was done.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
 

Thinking of You Card

May is zooming on by! I hope you are taking some time to enjoy it. My Mourning Doves are sitting on their nest again, so it looks like we will have another set of chicks in a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed watching the last set of babies grow. It's amazing that they leave the nest in only a short two weeks.

Today, I have another sneak peek at the Gingham Garden designer series paper from Stampin' Up! It will be available May 31st. I made this Thinking of You Card for a cousin who is going through some medical issues. I used this weeks sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. The crochet mat is made by Jessi Fogan and it worked perfectly with this weeks sketch. I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits to create the butterflies and added a few basic pearls for detail. Well, I hope you're excited about the release of Stampin' Up!'s new catalog!!! Thanks for stopping by.

My Thinking of You Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches: Sketch
• Flutter By Wednesday's: Open, must use Butterfly or Fairy
• Perfect Sentiments: Dry Embossing
• Simon Says Stamp: Things with Wings
