The Card Concept Challenge Time!

Hi all! It's time for a new challenge on The Card Concept Challenge Blog and it's a FESTIVE one! I layered silver foil behind the circle/die-namic cut layer. The tree was colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the Snow Globe Sentiment set from MFT. I love the simple font! The card base is Grout Gray.

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge

HI all!  Yay for Friday!  We have a new challenge for you on the CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Blog!  

I used the Pretty Posies stamp set and matching dies for the sketch. I simply cut out two of the flowers with different cardstocks for an ombre effect, then stamped the flowers onto the dies with black ink.  'Smile' is from the Smiling Fri-dies trio.  I cut it out of black card stock three times, then layered them. I also added some black enamel dots for extra interest.

It's Time to Party

HI all!  So one of my absolute favorite crafting companies, My Favorite Things, is having a MEGA contest!  I created this card for the Clean And Simple category.  This bear knows how to decorate for a party :D  Lots of masking of balloons but I just love it!  The balloons are from the retired Panda set.  I couldn't pass up the BB Bitty Bears stamp set from the latest release.  I added two extra balloons for him to hold ;)  The sentiment is also from that set.  The cool 'floor' he's standing on was cut out with one of the Blueprints elements and is from the Black & White Basics paper pack.  Everything was colored with Copic Markers.  A trio of sequins finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS-ual Fridays Blog Challenge

Hi all!  It's time for a NEW Cas-ual Fridays Blog Challenge!  This one is nice and simple - to use kraft and white on your project.  I created a background using a flower from the Mon Ami stamp set, then layered a sentiment from the So Pretty stamp set over it.  I used my Mini Misti when stamping the sentiment because I wanted it nice and bold, so I inked it up twice.  I just eye-balled the flowers when lining them up, though ;)

You are my Hero

Hi all!  It is time for another CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge!!!   This time we are playing a little Tic Tac Toe.  You can check it out on the blog HERE.  I went right down the middle for my card - one layer, add a tag, rainbow.  Inking up the border image from Modern Petals stamp set was a little tricky (and yes, I got some green ink on my yellow ink pad, but I think I'll live, lol!).  The sentiment is from the So Pretty stamp set.

SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge time!

Hi all!  It's Wednesday, which it's time for another SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge!  :)  I used the sketch and the inspiration picture (again) to create this Clean And Simple (CAS) card.  I used the Smitten Kitten set because, duh, it was perfect for the inspiration pic ;-) Who says you have to always color lined images??  I used these cuties to create a background, then broke it up with a die cut piece of pink lemonade card stock.  And I couldn't resist that sweet sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Head over to the SPD Blog to see what the rest of the DT created for this challenge!

SugarPea Design Challenge time!

Hi all!  I'm SO excited to be sharing my FIRST SugarPea Designs Challenge card as a part of the new design team!  EEK!!!  I made this fun card based on the sketch using the Bring On the Cake stamp set  and the Birthday Journal Card SugarCut.  I went pretty Clean And Simple to keep the focus on the cake embellishments and the embossed sentiment.  I love the fun patterned paper from the It's a Celebration paper pack.  Be sure to check out the challenge over on the SPD Blog!

Hello Beautiful Girl

Hi all!  Here's a pretty Clean And Simple card I made using the Beautiful Girl stamp set from MFT.  I stamped her with MFT's hybrid ink then heat set it so I could use my Zig pens and aqua brush to color her.  I used the current MFT Color Challenge for the coloring.  I curved the sentiment, from the same set, around her to allow me to keep this card simple.  :)  I used Blueprints 29 to cut her out, then layered her onto a sour apple card base.  I added some sparkle with my clear Wink of Stella pen to her wings and the butterfly in her hair.

Lil Inker Designs New Release Blog Hop - Day 1

Hi all!  Welcome to the LID New Release Blog Hop - Day 1!  We have so much to show you this month so I'll get right to it!

I have two pretty Clean And Simple cards for you today.  The first up uses the Hello Beautiful stamp set.  I used the one of the dies from the new Dual Dotted Borders die set for that curved edge.  I curved a sentiment from the stamp set to follow the curve, then stamped that pretty little bird.  I layered one of the Tribal Chic patterned papers under the curved border.  A few clear sequins finish it up.

Next up is a card I made using the Warm Welcome stamp set and matching dies.  I stamped the wreath and some flowers and leaves directly onto the card base.  I then used the matching dies to cut out the wreath and more flowers and leaves then layered them.  The sentiment is also a part of the stamp set - Love!

Be sure to comment as you hop along for your chance to win!

TAWS New Release Blog Hop!

Hi all!  Welcome to the LAST TAWS New Release Blog Hop!  I know, so sad, but we have some great sets we're releasing this month for you so let's get to it!  I am featuring the new set called Point of View.  It is such a FUN set!  I decided to create a masculine birthday card {because I need them fairly often} and it was so easy to do with this set!  I stamped the chevrons in cornflower blue ink, then layered over them with the open chevron stamp in sweet tooth pigment ink.  That's it!  A cool look in minutes! The sentiment is from the new Happy Everything stamp set.

Can't thank you enough

Hi all!  Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I thought I would make a thank you card for the occasion :D  I used Wispy Wishes and a sentiment form the From Us set.  And yes, that's a strip of torn vellum behind the sentiment strip.  It adds a little something extra to the card without adding bulk.  A great Clean And Simple card that can be easily reproduced.  Use different stamps to fit the occasion and change the sentiment for tons of options!

Thank YOU for stopping by!  I hope you are having a wonderful time with family and friends and have LOTS to be thankful for!

Peace, love and pumpkin pie!

Hello

It's me...  Lol, just about to break into some new Adele :D  Just kidding, but I did think of this song when I started to write this post.  Here's a new TAWS card I made using some images from Wispy Wishes.  I added a word from the Sweet Thing set.  Don't forget - ALL TAWS sets are currently 40% off!!!  Get them while you can because the store will be closing at the end of the year!  I inked up the leaves with 3 different colors, then added the small flower.  Just a sweet one-layer card - easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by!

So happy...

Hi all!  Happy Friday!

Here's a card I made using two TAWS sets - Wispy Wishes and From Us.  I used an image from the Wispy Wishes set to create the fun background.  I broke up the sentiment so that it fit into the white space.  I added some gold sequins and adhered the layers a bit 'off' to make it more fun :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Swing by the TAWS Blog for more inspiration!

You color our world

Hi all!  Here's a colorful card I made using some newly released TAWS stamps - From Us and Rain or Shine.  How perfect is this sentiment with the row of rainbow clouds?  :D
