Once again I printed out my image, colored it in with Copic Markers and cut the digital stamp into a circle.

I added the image over a card front that I had adhered a dry embossed white panel and some pattern paper.

To complete the card, I added a sentiment from my stash and some gems.

A NEW Challenge-Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #625

Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #625 is a COLOR challenge-PASTEL COLORS. I am not going to lie, this was a tough one form me. I rarely use pastel colors and do not have too many of them.

I dug out my Spellbinders Fresh Picked Anemones dies that I have had in my stash but never used. I die cut the flower from pastel yellow and orange scraps and the leaves from a pastel yellow/green scrap of cardstock.

I adhered the flowers to an A2, kraft card front that I covered with a panel that I had embossed with the Honey Bee Linen Embossing folder. I could have used a pastel but thought the kraft looked better with the lighter colors. The struggle for me was real!!

I then used foam adhesive to adhere a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps CZ Designs Good Vibes stamp/die set. My last step was to adhere pastel yellow gems across the card front.

Another Snowman Card

(Some links in the post are Affiliate Links used at no extra cost to you.)

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Happy Sunday! I am popping in with another card for some challenges.

The challenges that inspired this card are The Sketch n' Scrap Challenge and I used the sketch #238 for my card. I also was inspired by The Color Throwdown #839 and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Stitch it.

The "stitches" are created using a Spellbinders Winter Borders die set. I used the colors in a lighter shade of aqua on my card instead of the dark color.

The pattern paper is Penny Black's Festive & Frosty Pad. The embossed background I created using Spellbinders Seaside Cardstock and a Simon Says Stamp! Snowflake Visions embossing folder. I then brushed some Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink over the top.

The snowman is the Village Snowman die from Simon Says Stamp. The polka dot pattern paper is from my stash and I die cut it using a Pinkfresh Studio die set. 

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

Christmas in July

 Hello Crafty Friends!!!

I am just popping in with a card that I created for a few challenges. It is all about Christmas in July!!!

I started off my card by embossing a white cardstock panel with the Holly and Foliage embossing folder by Spellbinders.

I used pieces of the rainbow from the Pinkfresh Studio's Elevated Rainbows die for the red pieces on my card. I accented it with a poinsettia die cut from the Spellbinders Christmas Wreath Add On set.

The joy is from a limited addition stamp/die set from Concord & 9th. The gems are Ruby Glitter Drops from Pinkfresh Studio.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card: Jingle Belles-Poinsettia Perfection, CAS on Friday-Christmas in July, Color Hues Challenge-Red and White, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Emboss It.

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

I used the Sunflower Botanicuts from The Greetery that were already created from my stash. I usually make a bunch of extras when I am die cutting so when I need them for something I have them.

The brown pattern paper is from an old Jillibean Soup paper pad and I used the Spellbinders Argyle Plaid embossing folder for the embossed background.

The sentiment is from The Greetery’s All Occasion Script Sentiments set.
