Dynamic Duo Daffodil Delight

Greetings!
My first card for today is from the Dynamic Duo’s Color Challenge.  The colors are Garden Green & Daffodil Delight.  Hmmm these are the colors that I have the most of in my stash because I use them very rarely.  Today’s card was really quite a challenge.  But, I’ve never let that stop me before.  Winking smile

Dynamic Duo Daffodil Delight

This card was created using the following supplies:
  • Elements of Style
  • Short and Sweet
  • Bigz Top Note die
  • Clear Embossing Powder
  • Sponge Dauber
  • Paper Towel (for rubbing ink off of embossed image)
  • Stampin’ Pastels
  • Corduroy Button
  • DMC Embroidery Floss
  • Ribbon
So, I ran two different sheets of cardstock through my Big Shot, the Whisper White cardstock fits perfectly on the Daffodil Delight mat because I cut the perforated barrier around the shape.
Thanks for stopping by!

Butterflies - Thanks so Much

Good afternoon folks!  I used Stampin' Pastels (chalk) to color in the larger butterfly to give a softer appearance.  To add texture I waded up a piece of Patterns Stack Designer Series paper, flattened and smoothed it out and ran the ink pad directly to the surface where only the raised portions received the ink.  This gives it a marbled appearance.  I finished off the butterfly with an Antique Brad. 


This card was created using the following Stampin' Up! supplies:
  • Stamps:
    • Elements of Style
    • Tiny Tags
  • Punches:
    • Tiny Tags
  • Big Shot:

Pastel Thanks So Much

I really wish I could remember the creative person who inspired the design of this card.  I stamped the images with black ink and then outlined and colored in with my white gel pen.  Once the white gel ink was dry, I colored with my Stampin' Pastels to give it a soft look. I liked her version better because the gel pen didn't cover over the black ink where it did on mine.

This card was created with the following Stampin' Up! Supplies:
  • Stamp Sets:
    • Simply Soft
    • Sincere Salutations
  • Punches:
    • Extra Large Oval Punch
    • Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
  • Big Shot:
    • Designer Frames Embossing Folder
    • Framelits Labels Collection
    • Adorning Accents Embossing Folder
  • Misc:
    • Stampin' Pastels
    • White Gel Pen
    • Q-TIps for applying Pastels
    • Victoria Crochet Trim
    • Halfback Pearls
  • Colors Used:
    • Not Quite Navy
    • Pink Pirouette
Thank you so much for stopping by.  Your feedback is very appreciated and I look forward to reading it.

Blessings & Inky Hugs!

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge Circle Doily

Here is my entry for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for this week.  The goal is to create either a circle card or square card similar to the sketch design that is displayed.  I decided to go round today.










Goodies used to create this card:
(all items listed are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted)
  • Cardstock:
    • River Rock - lacey circle card body
    • Always Artichoke - 2nd layer mat
  • Ink:
    • Read Red - cardinal
    • Bravo Burgundy-flowers
    • Cherry Cobbler - flowers
    • Garden Green - leaves
    • Crumb Cake - flower pot
  • Beveled Windowpanes
  • Designer Ribbon
  • Linen Thread
  • A Flower for all Seasons stamp set
  • Aqua Painter
  • Watercolor Crayons
  • Stampin' Pastels
  • Paper from my stash
  • Nestabilities Lacey Circle Die
  • Big Shot

To make the circle card, I folded the cardstock in half and omitted the top folded portion of the cardstock out of the die so it would not be cut.  Please let me know if you have any questions!  

Blessings & inky hugs!

Autumn Days Get Well Soon with Bi-Lingual Sentiment

Good afternoon Stampers!

I am really behind the gun on the cards I've been creating ('magine that!).  But you know my usual line, if the Mojo's flowin' I'm not stoppin'!  So, as you may imagine, my creativity has slowed down to a dull thud so I figured this would be a good time to get cards uploaded, labeled, tagged, and all that other stuff before my mind starts to wander on a new card idea. 

So, these two cards are going to be posted together.  They are pretty much the same, but you all know how I can't stand to re-create something that I've already created.  If you make several cards with the same design, your not being creative and someone is going to get ripped off because they thought they were buying / receiving a truly unique card.  If they see another card just like theirs, they may gasp and wander if you just picked the card off a rack that was spit out by a machine!  agad!!!!!!!!  How awful would that be?!  Anyway, God gives me the gift, I'm not going to waste it on making the same thing again.  Some may, but my passion for paper crafting and creating keeps me going.  Even though I tried to make these cards both the same, they are still unique in their own way (still couldn't make myself do it!)  Anyway, getting off my soap box.

These cards were created using the Autumn Days stamp set.  The Spanish sentiment is from the Frases por docena stamp set & the English sentiment is from the Mini Mates stamp set.  All other goodies used to make the card are located below under "Labels".

With sponge daubers I also sponged some chalk (Stampin' Pastels) for the sky & the ground.



I really hope I don't have to give these away right away or sell them to anyone who has to give them away, but it's always good to keep some on hand, especially the Masculine kind because we know how our guys need to feel pampered when they are sick!  Mine does, anyway.  hehehe

Reflections of Beauty

I love how the reflection in the water kind of shimmers so it looks realistic!  (it's just the stamp - I'm not that creative!  lol).

Anyway, I burnished chalk to cover the water, land, trees, rocks, & sky. I was thinking some Crystal Effects would look really good either on the rocks or on the water, but it was already pretty the way it was, I didn't want to (over-do) it.

Supplies used for this card:
  • Life is Good stamp set from Gina K Designs
  • Extra Large Pewter Eyelets
  • Stampin Up Designer Ribbon
  • Fiscars Texture Plate - Woodgrain
  • Big Shot
  • Dimensionals
  • Stampin' Write Markers
  • Colored Staples
  • Stampin' Pastels (chalks)
  • Sponge Daubers
  • Crop-a-Dial
Things are not yet resolved.  Please continue to pray for my family and I.  If you are not familiar with the story, please catch up here.

Thank you soo much for stopping by!

Blessings & Inky Hugs!
