#TGIFC277~ You're Delightful, Layering Love, Zoo Globe, Watercolor Wash, The Gang's all Meer, Stampin Up Birthday Card

Well, I pulled out quite a few stamp sets to create this 

cute little card today.   

Stampin Up:  Layering Love

Stampin Up: You're Delightful 

Stampin Up:  Zoo Globe

Stampin Up:  Watercolor Wash 

Stampin Up:  The Gang's all Meer

I also come to realize that stamping the watercolor look on

the back was a bit more difficult then I had expected. 

The color of choice was just too bold, so I had to play around 

with different inks.   After the stamping, coloring and cutting was

finished.  I added a finishing touch of clear wink of stella

to the sentiment.  Hence the second picture so you could see

it sparkle.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

TGIF Challenges

CTS #385~ Christmas Gleaming, Sweetly Swirled, Stampin Up, Merry Christmas Card

I am going to confess my friends.  I almost bought this one stamp 

set again.  YIKES.   I was looking through the new catalog, and I just fell

in love with Christmas Gleaming.  I told myself I will purchase it when 

I save a few extra dollars.  Well can you imagine my surprise when I was 

putting away a few of my stamp sets, there it was.  I had purchased it 

last year.   I was DELIGHTED, and also a little worried that I didn't remember

it was in my collection.  BUT nevertheless I put it on my desk to be used

immediately.  

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:   Christmas Gleaming

Stampin Up:  Sweetly Swirled 

I love how this card came together.  

I think it turned out sweet, with all that white space.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Challenge #175~ Bonanza Buddies, Stampin Up, Birthday Card

I thought I'd give the Tag challenge another try.  

I had made a birthday card a couple days ago, and thought how 

lovely it would be with a matching tag.  So that is exactly what I did. 

The stamp set featured with this little tag and matching card is:

Stampin Up:  Bonanza Buddies 

I'm going to submit this tag to the challenge at:

Always Fun Challenges

FMS448 Bonanza Buddies, Stampin Up, Happy Birthday Card

I made this fun card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

The stamp set featured in today's card is:

Stampin Up:  Bonanza Buddies

This is such a cute stamp set with matching dies.  It makes fabulously

fun cards and the DSP that matches this set is a bonus.   I added only

one little embellishment to his pom pom on top of the hat.  It just 

needed a little bling there.  😉

Our little pup had his vet check up today, and everything went well,

besides the fact he had to see a new vet, our regular veterinarian retired. 

so HP was a bit concerned, but overall it went smoothly.  No 

ear infections, but back on his allergy medicine.  They also said 

he has a strong sounding heart and that he has a load of energy 

for being 9.  We just smile because that's a springer spaniel for ya.

Sketch #381 Peaceful Nativity, Stampin Up, Christmas Card, and Oriental dressing Screen Card

I have been busy trying to forget my troubles, and therefore stamping. 

Yesterday the fingers were not cooperating so I'm making up for lost time. 

I'm most excited to show you my cards today.    You see I had been

looking for a lovely nativity scene for years, and finally this year 

I found it in the Stampin up catalog.  I guess I'm a bit picky, because

there are some lovely ones out there, and I have a couple, but this one

had me the moment I came across it.  I Love it. 

I will submit this to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Peaceful Nativity

Now I will share the other card I was working on this past weekend.  I 

already put it on stamp cafe, on Facebook, but I didn't enter it in any challenges. 
I feel like this is one of the most encouraging friendly blogs I play 

along with so I wanted to share this card with you my friends.

It reminds me of those oriental dressing screens.  

I was able to purchase a heat tool recently, so of course I embossed every little

flower on here, because well it's new to me, so look out world.  haha

I like how the leaves turned out on the vase. 

Do you ever make a card that you just want to keep for yourself?

I hope that don't sound to selfish, but gosh I like this one. 

This view reminds me of my daughter and son-in-law's house, they have 

a round stained glass window at the top of their steps, it's so beautiful.  

And lastly a picture of my darling, he is such a pal resting his chops 

on the windowsill as I stamp,  such a buddy.  

He goes to the vet, this week, and due to the covid my husband 

can't go in with him.  I hope the little guy will be ok, 

No news from any doctors for me yet.  *SIGH.   I suppose 

I will have to get up the nerve to call again.  Ugh.  

Any ways back to the challenge at hand, I did go a bit crazy with the sketch, perhaps

I might try again this week and tone it done a bit.

Challenge #175~ New Wonders, Stampin Up, Tag, Bookmark

How fun is the little bookmark tag?   It is slightly smaller then the average

bookmark, and yet longer then say a Christmas package tag. 

I made it for the challenge at:

Always Fun Challenges

Challenge #175

Our theme for the new challenge is
"TAGS"

I have to admit that when I stamped the sentiment, and it was not straight, 

I got a wee bit frustrated and then I realized like Bob Ross, a happy little 

accident, because it fit on the tag perfectly, and it adds a bit of whimsy 

to the already delightful creation.  So I left it be.  

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  New Wonders

SSC237 GOING COOL ~ Gorgeous Posies, Thinking of you cards

I made this card today for the challenge at:

Sunday Stamps

 

The stamp set I chose is:

Stampin Up:  Gorgeous Posies.  

The inks I used for this card are:

Blackberry Bliss (which I stamped off a few times to give the flower a lighter color)

Pool Party, for the leaves

Rococo Rose (also stamped off for the smaller blooms)

I didn't have those exact colors, but I tried to match them up closely.

I used some purple twine to create the checkerboard look behind the 

flower.  I thought it gave the card an extra  bit of texture.   Finished off

with a lovely embellishment to make it sparkle. 

I also made another card since this is a new stamp set I wanted to play 

a bit more with it.
