I've been using this stamp set the past couple days, trying to make a few Easter cards.  I think it goes well with the pastel DSP.  I also have stamped all the insides of my cards lately with this same image.  It just cracks me up.

Sketch #362 Basket Bunch, Stampin Up, Happy Easter

 Today I wanted to brighten up my card making day with a Happy Easter Card.  

I will submit this to the challenge at:

Stampin Up:  Basket Bunch

I put all three little eggs on one acrylic stamp for faster stamping and then I just positioned it differently on the paper.  I tore the one side to give it a rough edge look.    I love the fun sentiments on this card. 

Stay faithful and strong during this difficult time.

A word of encouragement:

#TGIFC257 Make a Splash, Stampin Up

 I made this card for the challenge at:

TGIF Challenges

The stamp set featured in today's card is:

Stampin Up:  Make a Splash

When I first started this card my idea was to heat emboss the fish.  However, the details all got smudged together.  So that didn't look nice.  Then I thought to use my stazon to stamp on the gold foil paper.  so that's what I did.  I also wanted my little aquarium to look most real so I covered it with glossy accents to create water.  Well as you can see, that didn't turn out well, the water looked like the fish bowl had not been changed in awhile.. and when I picked it up, the accents cracked.  So scratched that idea.  After stamping yet another fish bowl, and running low on gold paper, I kept the card simple by just using clear wink of stella to give the water some shimmer.  I did heat emboss the sentiment on the front and used some lovely gold ribbon to bring out the gold in this card.   I like how the embossing folder resembles waves.   I used dimensionals to raise the fish bowl.

CTS #365 In The Tropics, Stampin Up, Aloha, Pineapple

 I made this card for the challenge at:

CAS(E) This Sketch

The die used in this card is from:

Stampin Up:  In the Tropics 

I used the coordinating DSP

I struggle with measuring, and especially angles, but I surprised myself, after only a few tries.  I got it.  I only wish I would have layered it more. I think that would have made the DSP more dramatic.   I do love that cute little pineapple.

FMS428 Let It Ride, Wishing you Well, Stampin Up

Today I made this card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Let it Ride

Stampin Up: Wishing You Well.

I had a whole different card in my vision.  OH it was going to be fabulous.  Well after stamping a few trial runs with a flower an owl and double circles, I gave up.  Scratched that idea and moved on to this card. It just sort of came together rather quickly, so I figured it was meant to be.   It reminds me the horse shoe wreaths they put around the horses necks.  and of course the big bow just had to be added to symbolize this is a prize horse.  

I like the sentiments on this card.  I think they go well together.  

I thought this was a neat little visual reminder:
