GDP127 Beautiful Friend

I combined three SAB items for this challenge 

over at global-deign-project.com 

I started with the Sweet Soiree Memories & More card pack.

I grabbed two of the 3' by 4" cards that are printed with the 

lovely designs like in The Sweet Soiree DSP in the Occasions catty.

I layered them on a piece of Powder pink card stock for the base.

I also cut the Amazing in Powder Pink with the Celebrate You dies

from the SAB brochure.

Last, I used the Beautiful Peacock set for the sentiments

which I stamped on Whisper White in Berry Burst ink.

I finished it off with some Tutti-frutti adhesive backed sequins in Berry Burst.

Sweet card!

Hope it is a blessed week!

Thanks for stopping by!

PP382 Thank You Tulips!

I really the sketch over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com

this week!  I grabbed my Tranquil Tulips for a thank you card.

I am still making thank you cards for my wonderful friends and family who have 

helped my celebrate my birthday last week and even this week, too!

I went shopping with my best friend on Saturday so this for the 

beautiful necklace she bought me and the a great lunch at Brio.

I used the Color Theory DSP because I keep forgetting about it

so I have it pulled out on my desk for a remember.

I added it to the thick Whisper White base.

I stamped the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist

on Whisper White. I added the tulips in Berry Burst.

The solid are stamped off once in the Berry and the 

detailed part is stamped straight on with same color.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black for the thank you 

in Petal Palette stamp set.

I layered with Basic Black and placed a piece of Lemon Lime Twist

behind the image. I ran some Berry Burst ribbon

 around and tied it to one side to finish it off.

I do love the Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst together.

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!

FF002 Best Wishes Soiree

I used two prints from the Sweet Soiree DSP on the card.

With the ribbon challenge ,I grabbed a fav ribbon right now-

3/8' Berry Burst metallic edge ribbon.  It is so soft and beautiful.

I used it to break up the two prints and then as a bow for the cute Powder Pink tag.

I cut elements from the Sweet Cake framelits dies for the tag.

I made a little banner with the Best Wishes sentiment from Cake Soiree set.

I finished it off with a rhinestone for bling.

TTTC036 Thanks For The Smile

I still had my Delightful Daisy paper out from yesterday's card

so the green was easy for today's card.

I went with the middle column down Insect, Green, Twine.

I used the lovely background paper in Tranquil Tide.

I stamped the dragonfly in Crumb Cake and sponged some Tranquil Tide on it.

I stamped it on Whisper White and cit it with the matching die.

I also cut a piece of copper foil to match it underneath.

I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on the DSP.

I ran the white twine around twice for the challenge and thought it could look 

like the dragonfly was landing on it. 

I finished it off with the thick Whisper White card stock for a base.

I will send this out this weekend as a thank to friend for my birthday gift.

Hope you can play along with the tictactoechallenge.com

CTS260 Cross Of Hope

I knew the stamp set for the sketch as soon as I saw the challenge

over at casethissketch.blogspot.com 

Love the Hold on To Hope set!

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the cross off once in

Calypso Coral.  I then went over it with the verse in Tranquil Tide.

I stamped the flower and butterfly in same colors

 and cut them with matching dies cuts. 

I used the beautiful Delightful Daisy DSP (where I got my colors from)

 for my background.

I thought it made it so soft even though I used a dark color like Tranquil Tide.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

FMS325 Sweet Soiree Birthday!

I grabbed my Sweet Soiree embellishment kit again 

for this sketch challenge. Love that kit!

I was inspired by Narelle's card with all the white and some water color.

I layered a piece of Whisper White on a thick Whisper White base.

I cut a water color paper panel and used some Marina Mist and my aqua painter.

I added the images from the kit over the layers.

I stamped the sentiment from the pretty You're Inspiring set

in Marina Mist and used my banner punch to cut the ends of 

the strip of white.

I finish the card off with some bling on the banner.

Hope you can play along with the great sketch over at

GDP126 Happy Easter With Daffodils

I laid this card down because the pearls

 and background stamping showed up much better.

I stamped the flowers on a Whisper White oval in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I used my Stampin Blends to color it:

 Lovely Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and a touch of light Pumpkin pie in the center.

I added the sentiment across on white stamped in same black ink and added some 

pearls to each side.

The background is Daffodil stamped with a background stamp from the same

You're Inspiring set in same color. 

I layered it all on a piece of thick Whisper White for the base.

I like how soft and simple the Easter card looks.

PP381 Good Times

I do not have any sewing stamp sets and actually no 

buttons right now so all I could think of for this challenge was some 

thread/twine.  I used the thin white baker's twine

on the lovely Wooden Textures DSP background.

I think it really pops!

I stamped the scene from Waterfront a week ago as I was playing around 

to design my class cards for next month. 

I stamped off once with the Pool Party, Crumb Cake, and Island

Indigo in the water. 

Sweet little friend card...wish I was at the beach right now!

I hope you can play along with the challenge over at

CTS259 Blessings & Happy Birthday To Me!

First, today is my birthday so Happy Birthday To Me!

I am just headed out to dinner at the Melting Pot for

yummy fondue tonight with my family.

I am playing along with the fun sketch over at

casethissketch.blogspot.com

I had my Tutti-Frutti DSP out and saw these pineapples and thought

they would be fun in this sketch.

I layered the DSP with some Soft Suede and then added to the

Lemon Lime Twist base.

I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede from the Barn Door stamp set

and cut it with the circle dies. I used the same dies to cut the

Lemon Lime Twist and Soft Suede for layering. 

I finished it off with a few Soft Sky adhesive backed sequins.

Hope you can play along and thanks for stopping by!

 for this challenge- Enamel dots, Birthday, Green

I looked through some DSP for green and then saw this with the 

kiwis from the Tutti-Frutti DSP in Lemon Lime Twist.

I added some black and thick Whisper White for the base.

I stamped on the white strip in Memento Tuxedo Black with the

and layered some more black card stock behind.

FMS324 For You With Sweet Soiree

I love all this paper and I want to hoard it and I want to 

use it all at the same time. 

I layered this piece of Sweet Soiree DSP on  Marina Mist

card stock and then on a thick Whisper White base.

I took a white oval and stamped the sentiment from Cake Soiree

in Berry Burst and then added the flowers and leaves from the 

Sweet Soiree embellishment kit.  The Marina Mist scallop trim and tassel

are from the same kit. Hidden back there is a strip of silver foil. 

It was a quick card esp since little stamping.

GDP125 The Best Day

I decided I wanted to use the Happy Wishes SAB stamp set since I could 

use one of each of these colors for the sentiment. 

I then pulled out the Color Theory DSP and started layering with 

Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo card stock and

a thick Whisper White base.

When I thought about how the blue DSP looked 

like water, I remembered the chair from the Seasonal Layers 

thinlits dies so I cut it in the happy yellow.

A few rhinestones for bling finished it off.

PP380 Sending Hugs & Kisses To You

I could not believe the color combo today for 

thepaperplayers.blogspot.com

I colored the birdhouse image from Flying Home

about three weeks ago and never used it so there it sat on my desk.

I was playing around and colored it just red and brown.

So I had to do today was use a thick Whisper White base 

and layer a piece of Kraft card stock on it.  

I decided to give it some texture by stamping the splatter from 

Waterfront stamp set on before stamping the sentiment.

I used a sentiment from the Heartfelt Love Notes stamp set 

that came in January's Paper Pumpkin kit.

I layered some Tutti- Frutti DSP on the side and popped 

up the oval image.  I decided to finish it off with some white baker's twine.

Sweet card from someone to receive!

I hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!

FF0001 Sending Lots Of Love

I choose to go with the sequins theme for this card;

 however, I did use a love theme, too.  

I started with the Powder Pink base and then a piece of same color for the background.

I ran the background card stock through the new Scattered Sequins emboss folder.

I then ran some Berry Burst 3/8" metallic edged ribbon around before adding

 the sentiment from Lots Of Love set stamped in Berry Burst on

a Whisper White oval. 

I used the lovely tutti frutti adhesive backed sequins in Berry Burst for more sequin bling.

I finished the card off with some Lemon Lime Twist leaves punched out.

TTTC034 Kind Thoughts For You

I went across the middle row for this challenge:

Die Cut, Emboss, Floral

Just received this set and love the flowers.

I decided to water color them in Lemon Lime Twist

along with Garden Green.  I added a touch of Peekaboo Peach

to the center of each flower. I then cut the flowers out with the 

Layering Oval framelits dies.

 The flowers were stamped on water color paper in Memento Tuxedo Black. 

I stamped with the same ink on Very Vanilla for the sentiment from this same set 

called You're Inspiring. I added some pearls because pearls are always good!

I embossed the Lemon Lime Twist background

with the Layered Leaves emboss folder.

 I layered that on a piece of Garden Green card stock and then a thick

Very Vanilla base to finish it off.

I think it could be a sympathy card or thinking of you.

CTS258 Celebrate With Picture Perfect

This set had just came in the mail so I had to play with it 

for this challenge.

I practiced for a while making this bows. They are a two step.

I stamped the first stamp in Pool Party and the second in Bermuda Bay.

I then stamped the sentiment from the same set called Perfect Picture Birthday

in Berry Burst ink.  I added some of the Lemon Lime Twist striped ribbon

I had also just received around the Whisper White card stock. 

I added some rhinestones for bling.  This set has some coordinating paper

called Picture Perfect Party DSP.  I used a piece paper with 

Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst arrows.  You can just see a little detail.

I layered it all on a thick Whisper White base.

FMS323 Heartfelt Thank You

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use a stamp

to make the four pieces instead of designer paper.

I looked through every set and finally thought this would be perfect.

I stamped the Heartfelt Blooms (SAB) set in both Flirty Flamingo and 

Lemon Lime Twist on Very Vanilla.

I then layered it on a piece of Basic Black card stock and 

ran a piece of my new Lemon lime Twist striped ribbon around.

I stamped a sentiment from the same set on a Very Vanilla strip

in Memento Tuxedo Black and adding some pearls.

I finished it off with a thick piece of Very Vanilla for the base.

GDP124 For You Bloom

Casing Louise's card was easy since the soft colors stood out right away.

I love the beautiful ombre look of the paper here in

Soft Sky from the Naturally Eclectic DSP. 

 I did a 4 1/4" square card base in thick Whisper White.

I stamped the flower from Birthday Blooms on a

white Stitched Shapes oval die cut and then colored it with 

my aqua painter in Old Olive and Melon Mambo.

I stamped a sentiment from the same set.

I added a half white doily and some leaves in Old Olive to give some texture.

Hope you can play along with the casing challenge over at

January Paper Pumpkin Kit

Th kit had some awesome elements like enamel dots and the vellum hearts!

I decided to stamp in Rich Razzleberry the sentiment from Hold On To Hope

and cut with with matching die cut from Cross of Hope framelits dies.

I did stamp on the paper inside the Happy Valentine's Day sentient from 

the kit as well as a heart/envelope image. 

It has the slit in it for what reason I was not sure but

I saw an opportunity to hold a chocolate candy.

These are for my friends in my Bible study group 

which meets next week on Valentine's Day!

I think they will love them. 

I love when SU! makes it so easy to make something special for others!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

FabFri130 Bright & Beautiful Birthday

I have been wanting to play with the new Sunshine & Rainbows bundle

and thought these pink like shade would make a great girly rainbow!

I used each colors twice when I cut for the rainbow

 with the Rainbow Builder framelits dies. 

I added them on a Whisper White background and stamped the sentiment

at the bottom in Melon Mambo. I cut soem

clouds from the same dies and added those.

I ran the Powder Pink 1/2" finely woven ribbon around the bottom 

of the large cloud.  I started to use a piece of card stock but then thought 

about how much ribbon I have been hoarding.

I finished it off with the rhinestones for some bling.

I like how clean and simple it turned out.

Painted With Love Card Boxes For Class

Cute open top boxes for card classes this week.

I used the Melon Mambo card stock for the box

and added the lovely Painted With Love DSP prints on the outside.

I stamped the hearts from both Sure Do Love you set and Heart Happiness set.

I cut them out with the matching heart die from Lots of Love Box framelits dies.

I punched a little gold heart for each

 with gold foil paper to tie in the gold from the DSP.

I used a piece of card stock that was 8 1/4" by 11"

I scored at 4" and 6" on the long side and then 

scored at 1 3/8" and 6 7/8" on the short side.

I cut the flaps and attached with tear tape. 

The DSP is cut at 3 3/4" by 5 1/4"

CTS156 Thank You Background Bits

When I saw this sketch, I thought right away of this host set.

It is called Background Bits and is a host set in the 2017-18 SU! annual catalog.

I used for the background a piece of Sahara Sand card stock.

I used Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide markers for the flowers.

I stamped the border stamp along the bottom 

in Berry Burst and then script in Sahara Sand. 

I stamped the sentiment in Tide on Very Vanilla 

and used some Sand ink to sponge for an antique/distressed look.

I did the same around the Sand background.

I layered the background on a piece of Berry Burst card stock, then 

another piece of Sahara Sand before placing on the Very Vanilla base.

I used some Glitter enamel dots to finish it off.

Hope you can play along over at casethissketch.blogspot.com

TTTC033 Sweet Soiree Birthday!

I went down the first row with the sentiment, free, ribbon. 

Go play along at tictactoechallenge.com 

Yes, there is loads of details on this fourth card for class thanks to

the wonderful Sweet Soiree suite!

I knew I wanted to use the lovely Sweet Soiree DSP in this print.

So decided the cake would not be blue but the base would be.

I thought lots about the cake and decided to go with stamping 

Berry Burst with the detailed cake stamp on So Saffron. 

I think it stands out. Speaking of stands- I cut the cake stand from 

silver foil . I placed my yellow cake on top and added a 

Berry Burst metallic edge bow. I cut the Old Olive leaves and the flower

after stamping it in Berry Burst on Whisper White with the matching dies.

After I saw where the cake would lay, I stamped the semtiment

that looks like a cake topper on the white background. 

I then popped the cake up over the DSP and layers of white and Berry

to finish off on the Marina Mist base.

Simple but elegant.  My guests can change the sentinent

at the top but I think this looks like a birthday card!

Hope you have a fab day!
