Mo's DP2 Challenge #122 - My Sentiments Exactly

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  You know I love Thursdays because it's Mo's Challenge day!  This week, Debbie is our hostess and the theme she picked is "my sentiments exactly" - must use a Mo's image and any sentiment on your card.

Here is my DT card:

I started with a card base of SU Pool Party and layered with Poppy Parade and two patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Life of the Party collection.  My adorable Mo's image is For Teacher - Girl.  She can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  My sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It can be found in Paulette's store here.  A few buttons, and some Baker's twine from my stash, finished my card.

I took inspiration for my card from a couple other challenges: Sketch Saturday #194, Crafty Emma's Store Challenge #72 (lots of layers), Craft Your Passion Challenge #97 (recipe: 1 ribbon or twine, 2 patterned papers and 3 buttons) and The Paper Players Challenge #82 (colors: Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Soft Suede and Vanilla).  Here is SS-194:

And the The Paper Players color inspiration:

Sweet Friendship

Hello, there!  Hope you're having a great week so far!  It's Hump Day and we're halfway to the weekend!  I'm popping by to share a card I made for a few challenges I enjoy doing when I find the time.  It is for this week's Just Magnolia Challenge #143 (pink, pearls, and lace), the current Our Creative Corner Challenge (card for best friend and include a flower), Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #15 (pretty in pink) and the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #41(monochromatic).

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of GKD Innocent Pink and layered with patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6.5 x 6.5 pad keeping everything monochromatic in pinks.  My cute image is Tilda With Hawaii Flower.  She can be found in the 7 Kids store here.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White Iridescent and colored her with Copics.  The ornate frame was cut with the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die.  I added a flourish cut with the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and some Wild Orchid Crafts roses.  My sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  It can be found in her store here.  Some ivory lace and a few pink pearls from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge

Hi there!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope that your day is full of love whether or not you celebrate the holiday!  I'm popping in to quickly share the card I made for this week's challenge on Joan's Gardens' blog.  The theme/requirements this week were to make a spring card, use a blue and white color scheme, include a trellis of some sort and optionally, add a bird.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I started with a card base of SU Baja Breeze and layered with patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for my trellis.  I made the center medallion by punching a strip of white cardstock with the Martha Stewart Lace Doily Edger Punch.  I punched the bird and branch from patterned paper with the SU Bird Punch.  The flourishes were made with the Cheery Lynn Tropical Flourish die .  A bunch of flowers (Wild Orchid Crafts, Kaisercraft, Prima) from my stash finshed my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to see you again soon!

Bunny Zoe's Monthly Challenge - Guest Designer

Happy Monday morning!  It's a super early post for me (actually, I'm still sleeping - lol!), but I am so excited today to be sharing the card I made for the new monthly challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts blog!  I was so thrilled to be invited to be Guest Designer for this months' challenge! Tracy picked the theme of "celebrations"  - any kind of celebration you'd like.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I chose to celebrate the coming of spring, which is going to be very welcome here!  Nikki generously provided me with this adorable Magnolia stamp to create my card.  It is Tilda Loves Flowers from the new Sweet Crazy Love collection.   You can find it in the Bunny Zoe's Crafts store here.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White  Iridescent cardstock and colored her with Copics.   She's framed with a Cheery Lynn Italian Flourish Doily die.  My beautiful patterned paper is from the Prima Alla-Prima pad.  I added a Turquoise Prima Rose and two Kaisercraft Coconut Paper Blooms that I airbrushed with Copics to match my papers.  A satin bow and button and a few rhinestones from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Bunny Zoe's Crafts Challenge Blog and check out the new challenge and the gorgeous creations from the design team!  I am sure you will be inspired to play along!

Have a great day!

Heartless

Hi there!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's been a busy day for me, but I'm sitting down for a minute and sharing the card I made for a couple of challenges I try to do.  First, it's for The Corrosive Challenge #142 (Love Bites...).  It is also for this week's Card Patterns Sketch Challenge #152.

Here is the Card Patterns sketch:

And here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Olivia 6x6 Pad.  My fun image is Heartless from Mo Manning.  You can find her in Mo's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  The sentiment is from the LOL Tag Lines set from There She Goes Stamps.  I thought both the image and the sentiment would work well for the "love bites" theme.  Some stitched ribbon, a button and a bit of red Bakers' twine finished off my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope to see you soon!
