Celebrate Independence Day!

I made this card for my mom and sent it off this weekend!

She loves lighthouses and will love the 

red/white/blue! I used the same sketch I did for another card last Monday.

I used Night of Navy for the base and added the white card stock for 

the background plus the sticker sentiment from

 the Come Sail Away memories & more pack. 

I cut Navy and Cherry Cobbler card stock for the middle

and ran the Cherry through with the Subtles emboss folder. 

I stamped the elements from Sailing Home set on white card stock

 and cut them out with the matching Smooth Sailing dies.

The anchor in Cherry, the lighthouse in 

Navy and the compass in Balmy Blue. 

I added the Navy twine to the anchor to finish it off.

Hope you have a wonderful safe holiday week!

Thanks for stopping by!

PP448 You're Off To Great Places!

Tic-Tac-Toe is my fav challenge!

Thanks Joanne! Head over to thepaperplayers.blogspot.com

Yes, went with punched shape, yellow, pearls across the middle.
My upline, Mary Fish, posted this color combo inspiration and I thought
it was perfect for this card! I also could not believe the theme
challenge was balloons over at global-design-project.com this week, too!
I started with the Seaside Spray gingham print from the 2019-2021 in color DSP
stack and layered it on a white base.
I cut a stitched label die in white and popped it up on the background.
I stamped the hot air balloons from the Above the Clouds set and
punch them out with the Hot Air Balloon punch.
 I stamped the left one in Poppy Parade on white card stock
 and used the second stamp to fill in by stamping off once to make lighter.
I did the same for the second balloon but in Daffodil Delight ink.
I stamped the clouds in Seaside Spray on the white label.
I stamped the sentiment in Poppy on the white banner and
finished it off with some yellow pearls.

Hope you can play along with the any of these challenges
and let the color inspire you!
Happy Sunday!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy For You Two

I made this card for a couples wedding shower last weekend.

I know the colors for the wedding are blue and I used some retired 

gold designer paper for a perfect pairing. I ran the Pool Party

with the Subtles emboss folder and I added the gold paper and a layer

of white behind. I stamped the sentiment from From This Day Forward

in VersaMark and heat emboss in gold emboss powder on a white strip 

and I added two gold pearls. I stamped the flowers from Petal Palette in

 Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Pool Party and Old Olive

Stampin Blends markers. I cut it with the matching die.

I stamped a small flower on the enveloped and colored it with same markers.

Thanks for stopping by!

FMS394 Friendship

Simple sketch over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com 

and great chance to show off some beautiful DSP.

I used a piece of Bird Ballad designer paper for the background.

I layered it a piece of Pool Party card stock and then a white base.

I added a strip of Petal Pink card stock stamped with the

sentiment from the Free As A Bird set in Memento Tuxedo Black.  

The bird and branch with flowers are snipped from another

 designer paper print in the Bird Ballad DSP. 

I then stamped two small flowers in Memento on white card stock

and colored with Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin Blends markers.

I hand snipped those two and placed under the bird's feet.

Hope you can play along and thanks for stopping by!

Blessed With Birch

I wanted to ink up my birch background stamp so 

I used it with Gray Granite ink on Whisper White card stock.

I layered it on a Petal Pink base. 

I stamped the sentiment from To A Wild Rose in 

Early Espresso on a Petal Pink label cut from

the Wild Rose dies. 

I added a few pearls and then the magnolia stickers

from the Magnolia Lane Memories and More card pack. 

Quick and simple card but that birch makes a wonderful background.

Hope you have a lovely day and 

thanks for stopping by!

Fabfri166 In Color Seahorses On A New Adventure

I just love these seahorses from Seaside Notions set!

 That are not bad to hand snip.

I thought of them when I saw this in color challenge

and thought they would look great in these colors.

I decided to stamp them in black and then water color them

with the ink and the aqua painter on shimmer white card stock.

I added a rhinestone to each eye because they need some bling!

I ran my piece of Seaside Spray card stock through with the new 

High Seas emboss folder. I layered it on a 

Pretty Peacock base and then stamped the sentiment from 

the Well Said set in Peacock ink on a with strip of card stock.

I love how it turned out and hope you can play along 

with the in color challenge over at

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

CTS327 Happy Birthday Wild Rose

Just something about this card I really love.

It is probably the awesome script print of the 

in color designer paper that makes it. 

I used the Rococo Rose in color DSP here layered on the 

Sahara Sand card stock embossed with the Country Floral 

emboss folder and placed on a Sand base.

I cut the detailed die from Wild Rose in Early Espresso and 

added it to the side of the DSP.

I stamped the rose from To A Wild Rose in Early Espresso

and then the second stamp to color it in with the new in color

Rococo Rose. The middle was also stamped with Espresso ink.

I wanted the leaves a light color so I went with Soft Seafoam.

I stamped the sentiment from Very Vintage that just retired

in Espresso ink on a white banner. 

I finished it off with some rhinestones for bling!
