PP686 A Peachy Birthday

 

I am playing along with Jaydee's clean and simple spring flowers challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  I am using the two new in colors called Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock. I used a Peach Pie base and another piece ran through with the Cane Weave embossing folder. I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Cheerful Daisies set in Early Espresso, Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock inks and cut them with the matching dies. I also cut more greenery with the Shy Shamrock card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso on a strip of white card stock and added the Shy Shamrock dot to finish it off. 

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

Hello There

 

Today I am sharing a card I made for a challenge from Brian King (stampwithbrian) and Emma Goddard (coastalcrafter) who put together the Super-Awesome Fun Kits I buy about once a month. For March, they did a kit around the Bright & Beautiful memories & more kit cards and stickers. They challenged us to make a card from the pieces we did not use for their creations/designs. Here is my card with a Calypso Coral base and a layer of white card stock then a card from the pack. I used another card the cut the sentiment with the flowers and another to cut the strips underneath. I added a bow and dots from the extras they provided in the kit to finish off. This pack of cards and stickers made some awesome cards and no stamping was involved. Hope you have a brilliant day and thanks for stopping by!
