Merry Monday #169

Hi everyone!

Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.

This week Debbie challenges us to create a Christmas card using light green, dark green & red.

I chose to stamp ornaments in a light and dark green and accent with a red banner die.

 Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog.

 I hope you will join us!

Celebrate

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a card inspired by two challenges.  

The first is Lil' Inker Designs Monthly Meet up challenge and the second is Pinterest Inspired Challenge.

I used Lil' Inker Designs Spot on Spring and Spot on Stamps with the coordinating Connected Circles Die.  I chose the most graphic patterns from the two stamp sets and used the colors from the Pinterest Inspired Challenge.  LOVE these colors together!!  To add a bit of interest to my CAS design I used the die to cut the white panel and popped up the circles themselves with dimensionals.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Flower Power

Hi everyone!

This week's challenge at StampNation is to use flowers on our project.

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

 I created another card to share with you all here.

I started by stamping the flowers from the stamp set In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers found in the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection onto a piece of Designer Series paper.  I always forget about stamping onto DSP and I love the look.  I then stamped the sentiment and trimmed the piece off the bottom, fussy cutting around the Y.  I heat embossed the rest of the sentiment using white embossing powder.  Added some twine across the top to finish it off.

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone!

I am sharing another card using a stamp from the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection but using it with a sentiment I already had in my stash.  That is one thing I LOVE about this collection, it can be used by itself to make many projects AND it can be used with what you already have in your stash to create even more fun projects.  

You know I love rainbows, so I had to stamp this fun leaf/flower image from In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers stamp set in rainbow colors. To create the lighter color I stamped the image without re-inking.

The panels were split using Lil' Inker Designs On the Diagonal die.  The sentiment is embossed using white embossing powder and is from Papertrey Ink's Keep It Simple collection.  The sequins are also from the Stamp of Approval box.

I am adding this over at Seize the Birthday.  

The topping is Embossing.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Muse: Christmas Visions

Hi everyone!

Today's card is for Muse: Christmas Visions.

The Muse is the lovely, Kimberly Wiener.

Here is her card.

Here is how I was inspired:

• colors
• embossed images on 4 different panels
• dark card base
• especially inspired by the blue panel with white snowflakes

I used the Stitched Duo 3 die by Pretty Pink Posh for my 4 little panels.  I stamped the snowflake from Clearly Whimsy's set, Sparkle & Shine using versamark.  I then used clear embossing powder to set the images.  For my coloring of each panel, I used the smooshing technique.  I would dry each panel and add more color until the desired color was achieved.  The larger rectangle is from Lil' Inker Designs and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I am playing along at Addicted to Stamps: Anything goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
