A Card Set

Hey friends!! 

Just popping in with a card set I created this weekend. I belong to a small challenge community and one of the challenges was to create as many cards as you could from one 12" by 12" challenge. There was a sketch with dimensions on how to cut your paper but right off the bat, I messed up. So I went with what I had and I LOVE what I created!!!

The piece of pattern paper I used had orange polka dots on one side and on the other, it had white distress with some writing. It was from Pink Paislee Twilight Collection and the name of the paper is Eclipse. It is a VERY OLD piece of paper and I could not even find a link for it!!

I paired it with various die cut and stamped sentiments that were in my "extra" box and as well some dies from Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club dies. I have a subscription and have a TON I have not used. I figured this type of challenge would be great for them.

I was able to create FIVE cards and I LOVE how they came out!!

The first card I created is the "Let's Celebrate Card." I used the Spellbinders November 2022 Small Die of the Month Club "Layered Floral Card Creator" die set for my flowers paired with a "Stylized Border Trio" that was the June 2022 Small Die of the Month. 

I used Distress Inks to make the greenery in the die cut piece. It is modeled after a piece of Basic Grey paper that I LOVED and used up.

I used clear sparkle pen, Glossy Accents and some orange pearls to complete my design.

On my second card, I did a bit of distressing on the edges of the pattern paper. I used both sides of the paper on this, as well as some orange paper that I created with Distress Inks.

I stuck with the same Spellbinders "Layered Floral Card Creator" to make my cards cohesive. 

For my third card, I used the back of the pattern paper and Spellbinders border dies for the background.

I added another tube flower in blue in the arrangement, as well as some sparkle marker and Glossy Accents on various flowers. 

The sentiment was printed out from my computer and I added orange pearls for more detail.

My fourth card, I embossed the background with Honey Bee Stamps' "Spring Medley" embossing folder.

By now, I only had some scraps of pattern paper left. I made a grid of six 1 1/4" squares and added some flowers that were left over. 

I actually think that this one is my favorite out of all five cards. 

My pattern paper was getting down to the very end for my last card.

The borders were die cut from the back of the pattern paper and orange paper that I had created.

I used the last of my extra flowers and leaves to complete the card. Don't look too closely at the borders as I had to finagle them to get them all on this card!!!

I am entering the cards into some challenges. Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes" and Allsorts Challenge "Anything Goes."

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for stopping by. Have a happy Tuesday!!

Rainbow Card Challenge #7

Happy Tuesday!!

Just popping in with a card I created yesterday and today.

The first card was inspired by the photo badge for the Rainbow Card Challenge #7. This is a new to me challenge and I am excited to enter it.

I used the Butterfly Turnabout from Concord and 9th and the Daphne butterfly die from Poppy Stamps.

Here is the inspiration card:

I was mainly inspired by the blue butterfly and some hues of blues.

I did not use the turn about stamp in the way it was supposed to but masked each off and used the different blues on each butterfly.

The thanks is a retired CAS-ual Fridays Stamps die.

I loved how this came out and will be sending this to my cousin.

That is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by and have a FABULOUS night!

A Challenge Card and Some Totally Random Creations

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Just popping in with some cards I created.

This first card was inspired by some challenges.

I created the patterned paper using an Echo Park stencil on white card stock which I stenciled with MFT "Daffodil" and "Blue Breeze" die ink. I then adhered the panel to a light blue, A2, top folding card base.

I then stamped the sentiment using Sugar Peas Designs "Pucker Up" stamp set in black. I adhered a die cut blue banner on top and a white square over that. Next I adhered the lemonade images over the front of the square, using foam adhesive to pop up the glass and the lemon.

I am entering this card into Fusion Challenge Card Sketch and the colors by "Inspired By Hello Spring."

I was inspired by the sketch for the Fusion Challenge and the yellow and blue colors in the Inspired By photo.

My second random card design I made for a friend.

I die cut the Memory Box "Intricate Bee" out of gold glitter paper and mounted over a Memory Box "Honey Comb Stitched Circle Frame" die.

I die cut the thanks using WPlus9's "Basic Greetings" set, colored it in with a Spectrum Clear Sparkle marker and adhered it to the card front. I then covered it with Glossy Accents. I added a crown of embossed gold and tied some gold thread around the top.

My second card has the same card design BUT instead of using gold glitter paper (I ran out) I die cut the bee and embossed it in gold instead. I think I like it better.

Instead of using the WPlus9 greeting I used a die cut Lawn Fawn thanks sentiment.

Well, that is all from me today. I thank you for stopping by!! Have a great day!!
