Happy Birthday Lovely

Happy Spring break for many!

I’m getting geared up for my March Card Buffet soon! And, challenges always get my creativity flowing!

Today I was inspired to create this birthday gem –

I used the Umbrella Builder punch to create adorable flowers!! I just love to use this punch for flowers!!!

The leaves are die cut from the Lily Pad Dies and the strip of grass comes from the Coordination Product Release, Special Day Dies.

This is just a simply beautiful card!

Two challenges helped me to create this card! First, color from TGF Challenges and the layout from CAS(E) This Sketch –

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Flower Power

I decided to make these adorable punched flowers –

I used Poppy Parade ink and card stock for the flowers and sentiment.

The flowers are created using the Under My Umbrella bundle. They are actually a folded up umbrella! I just turned them the other way!! They look more like flowers to me anyway! Lol!

The stems are die cut from the Lily Pad Dies (Sale-a-bration option) and the grass is from the Special Day Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday on a strip of Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper.

This card is just simply sweet!!! I can not wait to send it out!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge to spark your creativity –

Since the Lily Pad Dies were on my desk………I just had to create with them again!

Isn’t this just the prettiest?????

I started with a piece of Pool Party embossed with the Subtle folder.

I loved these ‘shapes’ in the dies set, so I cut a couple of those in Cherry Cobbler.

I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink on Petal Pink. I used a die to cut them out.

The celebrate sentiment is from a Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Happy Birthday to You.

Simply done! And, says soo much!

Check out the Design Team creations using these colors on our Create with Connie and Mary blog.

Happy Wednesday! Taking advantage of some creative energies while I have them! Lol!

I decided to play around with some Sale-a-bration free items today, the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the coordinating Lily Pad Dies.

I got some inspiration from The Paper Players and their newest challenge –

Here is what I did –

I stamped the flowers in Basic Gray on three colors, Grapefruit Grove, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie. Light and simple.

The Stitched Rectangle Dies and Layering Circles Dies make the Pool Party layers subtle.

The sentiment is from the Label Me Bold stamp set and punched with the Classic Label punch.

Very clean. Elegant. I think I’m going to really like this bundle.

*Oh, by the way this stamp set and dies cant be yours free! Just place a qualifying order! More details here.

What do you think?
