 Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #616 is a THEME challenge-FRIENDSHIP.

We have a sponsor this round-ALL DRESSED UP.

This shop generously donated the image that I used on my card below.

I had so much fun coloring this in with Copic Markers. I added the sentiment in from my computer.

I also used Sarah Renae Clark color card for the color inspiration.

The butterfly is from an old Martha Stewart punch with a teal jewel in the middle.

The pattern paper is from Paper Trey Ink that was in my stash.

Happy Saturday with Some Cards

 Hey Friends!!

I am just popping in with some cards I created for some challenges. I happened to have had Spring Break this week and was able to play in my craft room!!!

My first card was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketches #682, The Color Throwdown #831 and The Tic Tac Toe Challenge #268-the middle of the card-any color, free and embossing.

My coral color is a bit of a darker coral than I had anticipated. It was all I had so I went with it. The die cut flowers are from the Stamp Market, the "happy" sentiment is Woodware Crafts.

I had fun creating the sage area of the card. I first inked a white panel of cardstock with Bundled Sage Distress Ink. I then layered  stamps and stencils over the top. The last touch was to take some Nuvo Crystal Drops and a stencil to create the dots.

My next card I used Sketch #558 from the CAS Colours and Sketch Challenge for my card inspiration.

I dug out patten paper from 49 & Market for my border, and cut a strip of polka dot paper for the tiny strip.

The ephemera is also from 49 & Market. I used foam tape to layer it on top of each other.

I was going to leave the panel white but it just didn't look right so I used a Linen embossing folder from Altenew for the texture.

For my last card, I used the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #28-anything goes and The Flower Challenge #101-use spring colors-as inspiration for my card. 

I have been getting the Simon Says Stamp kit for the last few months. I decided to use the Beautiful Blossoms Kit for this card.

I used the Paper Rose paper for the background-using a Distress Tool to rough up the edges. I then stamped and used a stencil to color in the flower. 

I die cut it using the coordination die and adhered it over a stenciled background.

I die cut the golden yellow cardstock that came in the kit with the Pinkfresh Studio Ornate Oval Frame to frame my flower bunch. The last step was to add a sentiment from The Ton.

It was so nice to have time to make multiple cards this week using some of my supplies that I have had in my stash. I needed this to calm my mind!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Just a Reminder that there is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #615

 Hello Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #615 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors ORANGE, PINK and WHITE.

Once again, I used die cuts flowers (retired) from MFT Stamps. Pink is an unusual color for a sympathy card but I decided I didn't care.

I used a new stamp and some SSS ink to stamp my background onto pink cardstock.

The arch die cut is from Spellbinders and the sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.

My last element that I added was TONS of pink jewels. This is something that I will be giving someone by hand!!!

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #615 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors ORANGE, PINK and WHITE.

I had fun using a combination of die cuts and pattern paper. The orange background is from 49 & Market. The tag is from Reverse Confetti (a store that I loved but is now defunct.)

The flowers are from MFT that I die cut from a mixture of pattern paper and cardstock. 

The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps. I know that orange and pink are not a common sympathy color but I don't care. I love how this came out.
