A NEW Challenge-Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #637

Hello Friends!!!

Below is the Challenge Badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #637:

I LOVED making this card! Why? Because I used a background panel that I had stenciled YEARS ago from my stash!!! It made the card making process so easy!!!


The products I used were from The Greetery. I kind of stretched the peaches and cream color for this. I used vanilla cardstock for the back of my die cut sentiment, as well as the panel under the peaches.


These products go together but alas, are retired. This card was so fun to create!!

Want to join us this round? To see more details about the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #637, head on over to the BLOG. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Thank You Cards-Teacher Appreciation Day!

Hey Friends!

I am popping in with three cards I created this weekend for three teachers I work with in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day. I bought little these adorable little hydrangea flowers and matched the colors for each of my cards.


I used Simon Says Stamp Flower Frame Embossing Folder and Simon Says Stamp THANKS Wafer Die for all my cards. I also used Diamond Stickles on all the flower centers on the embossed flowers, as well as some Clear Sparkle Pen on my sentiments.


I used Simon Says Stamp! Ink for all of my cards. I am slowly building up my collection.


I am entering this card into this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge #291. I used the center down-die cut, embossing, and layers. The card front is over the card base, that is a layer, right? I could have entered it into the top line too. 


My second card is a pink version of the above card. 


The inks I used for this card are Simon Says Stamp! Bubble Gum and Sweet Dye Ink. I even inked up the sentiment that is in the middle of the dark pink to match the background. 


I am adding this to the following challenges-As You See It Challenge #371, The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #40-Moodboard or anything goes and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Mother's Day Feminine.


My last card is more of a shell pink color. It was the first card I created and the Thanks is not perfectly straight. 


I have to say that this one is my favorite!! I used Simon Says Stamp! Shell and Salmon Ink. 


I am entering this card in this weeks The Paper Player Challenge #784. It is a mood board and feminine theme. I was inspired by the pinky flowers. 


Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS week!!
