Happy Sunday!!
I am just popping in with some cards for some challenges. I am trying to use some of my stash this year so I dug out a Simon Says Stamp! stamp and die set-Celebrate You (retired).
For my first card, I had fun stamping the candles and coloring them in with Copic Markers. I then embellished them with some different colored Stickles. Using that stash!!
I dug out some stencils and used the stamp Grunge Tones from Visible Image with some Pinkfresh Studio Ink. I then used a Distress Tool and distressed the edges.
I adhered the coral panel onto a white A2 card base and used foam adhesive to pop up the candles and the sentiment. My last step was to adhere some confetti sequins randomly around the card. I LOVE how this card came out and will be using these candles again.
I am entering this card into the following challenges Just Add Ink #779-Sketch (I used the candles as the rectangle) and The Little Red Wagon #846-Just the Way You Are (how I did the distressed edges-I am into this look!).
The second card I created I used the same stamp set as the first. This stamp set has a TON of fun images and sentiments to use on birthday cards.
I used another couple challenges as my inspiration. I used the All Sorts Challenge #843-Embossing (I used dry and heat embossing on my card) and Can You Handle the Pressure?-Dry Embossing, with Die Cuts being a twist (I have both!!), and The Color Hues Challenge #127-Peach and Teal. Yes, I used shades of both the colors but I was inspired by the colors.
I had fun using a stencil on the circles behind my stamped/colored in drinks.
For the dry embossing, I used Spellbinders Intertwined Lattice Embossing Folder on white cardstock.
I used some Glossy Accents on the stamped images and some randomly placed confetti sequins.
For my last card, I originally made for a IG challenge. However, I created a different card instead for that challenge and am posting this here.
Once again I used the Celebrate You stamp/die set by Simon Says Stamp! for my card. I used the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangles on the coral cardstock. I then layered this on a white A2 card base. I used a rectangle of pattern paper and then layered some Waffle Flower Stamps over the top.
To finish off my card is to add some star sequins and Glossy Accents around the card front.
I am entering this card into this round of Seize the Birthday #320. I am not doing the topping challenge as it needs to be CAS and Dies. I have the dies, but it isn't really CAS.
Well, that is all from me today. We are bracing for a huge Nor'easter today so I will be back with more cards tomorrow!! Thanks for stopping by!!
