April 11, 2020 · 18 Comments

Happy Saturday before Easter!

I hope you are in good health these days! Thank you for joining my second blog hop of the day!

I am featuring a few more Easter / spring cards I sent out –

I used these Scallop Note Cards & Envelopes as my starting point.

Each card has a strip of Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper along the card.

On the card base, I added a strip of Daffodil Delight the highlight the scallops.

The adorable bunny is from the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin, No Matter The Weather.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp sets. It is sweet and works well for spring card sending.

I hope you love all these quick, easy, adorable cards.

Please check out the other on the blog hop today.

Hello, Birdies

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday! And, Happy Stamp-tember 3rd!

Here is our newest two week challenge –

Optional Theme :

I tried to find something on the board, but I wasn’t successful. I managed with Pink and Die Cuts, not even close. I even turned the sketch for my design. It is an adorable card though!

These birds from the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper are just the cutest! They were a different shade of blue, but I used a Balmy Blue Blends to color over that color and make the color match the die cut sentiment.

Hello comes from the Hand lettered Prose Dies. Simply pretty on the flag!

Just a sweet card that anyone would love to receive! Guess I better get it in the mail!

Starting September 4th, the following Designer Series Papers will be on sale! Including the Bird Ballard I used here!

Ride with the Windows Down

August 25, 2019 · 3 Comments

Happy Sunday my stampin’ friends!

I’m sharing another card from my August Card Buffet!

I just loved Freshly Made Sketches newest challenge –

Since it is a 400th sketch challenge for them, they are using previous sketches as the challenges!

I actually made a card for the original posting of this challenge! You can see it here! How cool is that????

Here is my take on it a couple years (or so) later –

I did change the orientation of the card because of the truck image. This is the Ride with Me Bundle along with the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the truck and colored the wheels with a Sharpie. Of course, it was fussy cut! I added the ‘window’ using Gray Granite.

Simply a great card! I’ll feature it as one of the choices on the Card Buffet today.

Looking forward to nexts weeks challenge from Freshly Made Sketches!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge to inspire you –

This is throw back to TSOT Challenge 17 when the blog started! I love these retro challenges!

Here is my sweet thoughts using it –

A combination of the Paper Pumpkin kit from May 2019, So Shelli, and the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper.

I thought this was just a sweet way to say ‘Hello’ to your special someone! Thanks to the Stamparatus, I had perfect placement!

The birds are also from the paper Pumpkin kit as well. Popped up on a 2″ Circle in Pool Party.

Bird Ballard Birthday

Bird Ballard Birthday?

Yes, Bird Ballard is this name of this adorable Designer Series Paper I used for this card –

Notice the colorful sentiment? I used the colors from the paper to create a match!

I know, you’re wondering just how did I do that….

I placed the stamp on my Stamparatus. I colored each letter individually with the Stampin’ Write markers and stamped them. It matches the paper wonderfully! That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up!’s color coordination – it’s perfect!

I added some balloons from the Balloon Builder punch and I call this quick and easy card, done!

I was inspired for this card by Global Design Project and their newest sketch –

Quite a nice take on their challenge! Wouldn’t you agree?

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge –

I pulled out new Stampin’ Up! products for this lovely challenge!

Yes! This is the beautiful Bird Ballard Suite!

I stamped the birds and the thank you sentiment, then framelit cut them. I cut a slightly larger scalloped circle to coordinate

I used various Blends to color the image and underline the sentiment.

I cut the Designer Series Paper to fit the sketch.

This is just a happy, sweet card!
