Have a fabulous birthday - C4G #259

Hi!  It is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is dies or punches.  That's very easy for me... I make very few cards that don't have a die cut on them! :). 

Here is my card...

I created my background by cutting Poppystamps Circling Frame in vellum and using it as a stencil.  I ink blended TH Oxide speckled egg, tumbled glass, and stormy sky.  I then stamped the tree from Fiskars Build a Tree.  (I have had this set for over 10 years, and this is only the 2nd time I've used it!)  I added some leaves with Poppystamps Orchard Leaves.  My van is Honey Bee Stamps Beach Bound.  The sentiment is Poppystamps Art Deco birthday Greetings.  It's such a fun card! 

Challenges:
A Cut Above Sept (2nd entry) - AG with a die cut
613 Avenue Create Sept - AG with opt twist: leaves
Die Cut Divas Sept - AG with a die cut
Sweet Stampin' - use die cuts

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

 Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Soda-lightful - C4G #175

 It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "use dies and/or punches."  I used dies for my card...

I used a stencil and blended 3 Catherine Pooler colors.  (The stencil is from a pack of cookie stencils I got at Tuesday Morning that never made it into my kitchen!)  My pop bottles and sentiments are from My Favorite Things Soda Pop clear stamps and dies.  The flower was in my stash.  

These are not usually my go to colors, but I really like how this turned out. 

I'm entering this card in a few challenges...

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Add a sentiment

Happy Little Stampers  - June AG with dies

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - use 3 of a kind (must include stamping)

Please come play along at Cardz 4 Galz and add some girly cards to your stash!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Silver snowflake Christmas - TMS #576

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Time is flying, so I'm working on Christmas cards whenever I have a chance.  Here's one with this week's sketch...

I was searching for some red paper in my scrap box and came across this card with the front already embossed.  (I think it's Sizzix Snowflakes.)  My sentiment is Pink & Main Merry Christmas die.  My snowflakes are Sweet N Sassy Stamps Small Snowflakes.  The sentiment and snowflakes are cut from a silver paper.  Very pretty IRL!!  Here's a closeup so you see the shine a bit better...

Here's our fun sketch... can't wait to see what you do for the side element! :)

I'm here for you - TMS #472

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card for this week...

This image is ADORABLE!!!  It's Di's Digis "Teddy Swing."  It's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and cut out with CottageCutz Stitched Circles.  The sentiment was in the pile on my desk, so I'm not sure where it's from.  I used MS branch punch for the branches.  


Here's our sketch...

Love - TMS #337

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!   Today is Groundhog Day.   Yes, I'm hoping for 6 more weeks of winter since we really haven't even had a winter in my part of the world yet!  Our snow has been sadly missing this year. :(  

Ok, I'll stop whining and show you my Valentine card...

My sentiment is Doodle Pantry Unfailing Love.   I changed the color of it in paint.net then layered it slightly offset for this effect.  My DP is MME Bohemia and Canvas Corp Blue & Ivory Mini Dot Reverse.  The circle is embossed with CB Love Language.  I inked the edges of the circle and banner with VersaMagic Perfect Plumeria.
