Merry Christmas

 

Good evening. I'm just popping on here with a card that I will be posting over for the  CAS Christmas Challenge for the month of November.

I had just received a stamp set and die from Waffle Flower, Merry Christmas Sentiments, and was anxious to use it. This is the first time buying from this company and I am impressed with the quality, not only of the stamps but the dies. The challenge was to use Non-Traditional Colours. That was a little bit of I stretch for me, but I finally decided on SU's Flirty Flamingo and Bermuda Bay. They have a very Tropical feel to me. I have friends in Florida and Arizona so one of them will be getting this card.

The sentiment is from the same set that I stamped on a strip of Flirty Flamingo using black ink. I also used MFTS Stitched Scallop Basic Edge and SU Falling Snow EF. 

That is it for this evening hope you enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend!

Stay Well and Stay Safe

A Thousand Thanks

Hi all. Just on here for a short post on a card I created today and couldn't believe I had none in my Card Box. I wanted to use the colours over at CAS Colours & Sketches definitely spoke Fall to me. I knew I wanted to use leaves, but I was not sure how I was going to incorporate the colours.  I played with paper, stamps, and layers for a while and decided on the one below. 

Products Used:

SU Cajun Craze, Bumble Bee, and Pear Pizzazz, Neenah Solar Crest White #110

SU Stamps: Gather Together, Many Thanks

MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax 1 die

That is it for this afternoon. Stay Safe and Stay Well!

Hello There - Just Us Girls Challenge

 

After I posted my card incorporating a Large Sentiment over CTS #396, I realized this would fit the challenge over at Just Us Girls Wildcard Challenge.

This was a fairly straightforward card to put together. The hardest part was picking colors and the sentiment to us.

I used the following products: Rich Razzeleberry (SU), MFT Black and White Stripes 6x6 Paper Pack, Diagonal Strip EF ( I believe it's SU) MFT Hello There Die-namics, MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Die-namics STAX 1.

That is it for this evening. I hope you have a SAFE and Well Monday!

Bring on the Balloons

Hi All! Just a quick post on this rainy day here in NC. I was in need of some stamp and paper therapy yesterday, although we did have some sun peeking out behind the clouds. 

I was playing around with this MFT's Die-Namics Birthday Balloons deciding on some images or dies to be used on birthday cards that I needed to add to my birthday stash. I haven't used this die very much and thought I would put it in my birthday stash bin and link it over at CAS Colour and Sketches.

This card was pretty straightforward. The die did not come with a stamp, so I just chose some SU solid color paper to cut out the balloons and the strings, added some white gel pen to the left side for shadow, and glued them to my white panel which I embossed with the SU Subtle 3D EF.  The sentiment is from MFT's Safari Party stamped with black ink on Just Jade and cut with MFT's Stitched Sentiment Strips. I cut the white background using MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Die-namics STAX 1 and embossed it with SU's Subtle 3D EF. 

PAPER USED:

SU Calypso Coral for the card base

Neenah Solar White #110

SU Bumblebee, Just Jade, and Calypso Coral for the balloons

I hope you have a great Sunday and coming week.

Stay Safe and Stay Well!
