Pick-a-pattern peek & Get well soon

Hi everyone!

Back in April of 2014, we did a mini-event on StampNation called "Pick-a-Pattern".  This week's challenge is to Pick-a-Pattern.  I don't know about you all, but I tend to hoard my patterned paper.  

Here's a peek at the DT's cards.

Can you guess which one is mine?

I have another card to share with you today using some more goodies from Catherine's Spring Fling release.

 

 

I started my card by die cutting a circle from a piece of card stock.  I then stamped the tall flower from the Beautiful You stamp set around the circle.  I curved it on my clear block so it would stamp around the circle.  I then took the small flower stamp and stamped that around the "wreath" in rainbow order.  The black circle in the center of the flowers was stamped using one of the tiny dot stamps in the Perfect Reason stamp set.  I then took that panel and lined it up over a card base to see where to stamp the get well soon sentiment from Beautiful You.  I adhered the stamped "wreath" panel to the card base with dimensionals.  I added a little black and white twine bow to finish off my card.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Spring Fling Masculine card

Hi everyone!

I have another card to share today using new goodies that were released on Thursday by Catherine Pooler.  Did you hop along to see all the gorgeousness from the DT?  Click HERE to visit my stop on the hop.

I used all the blue inks that Catherine has available in her store.  It's a Boy (NEW), Fiesta Blue & Something Borrowed.  I stamped the row of dots stamp from the Simply Stated stamp set across my card panel.  Stamping the dots twice in each color.  The die cut sentiment, Happy is also NEW!  I cut 3 from black card stock and layered them on top of each other to add some dimension.  Stamped the birthday sentiment from the Spot On stamp set onto white card stock and trimmed it out.  I think this makes a great clean & simple masculine birthday card, what do you think?

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

My first card today uses the new Circle dies, one of the Spot On Sentiment dies and the tiny flower and leave stamp from the Simply Stated stamp set.  The ink colors I used are Bellini, It's a Boy, Mint to Be and Midnight.  The sentiment "happy birthday" is from the previously released Spot On stamp set.

A close up so you can see the embossed circles.

This card features the Dotted Circle dies and Simply Stated stamp set.  I used all the new ink colors on this card.  I love the line of dots stamp that comes in this set as well as this congratulations stamp.  I was on an "embossing with dies" kick when creating with these new goodies.

Catherine Pooler Spring Fling Sneak Peek & StampNation Challenge Peek!

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow is the day, Catherine Pooler is releasing 8 new ink colors and some awesome new stamps & dies.  The Dream Team will be participating in a blog hop tomorrow to celebrate the occasion.  BUT, today I get to share one of the cards I made using some of the new goodies.  YAY!

I absolutely love the new ink color Pixie Dust, that is what I used to stamp the Happy from the previously released Spot On stamp set.  The Birthday sentiment is from a new set called Simply Stated.  See the embossed circles around the sentiment?  Yes, new circle dies are also being released that match the Spot On stamp set.  WOOT!!!!

There is ONE more ink left that has to be revealed!  Play along HERE!

Hint: The mystery ink is NOT in the correct spot in the rainbow order!!! :)

Here is a peek of the DT's cards for the weekly challenge over at StampNation.

Absolutely love the colors in the mood board that was the inspiration for the challenge.
