Mother's Day Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Card!

Hello there!

I have a mother's day card to show you today that I have entered into the Stampin' Royalty Challenge #227 - May Flowers!  If you haven't arrived here from there, make sure you stop by, the inspiration is gorgeous as usual!  

 

My card features another retiring Stamp set - Delightful Dozen!  I can't believe this one is retiring!  It has to be one of my 'go to' stamp sets.  It has, yep you guessed it, a dozen occasions that can be used for...mother's day, father's day, birthday, Easter, Valentines.....

I also decided to try this Scallped Tag Punch card I have been seeing all over the internet!  It was really fun to try! It is a total layout case from Tanya Bell. You can see her video tutorial here.  Super talented to have thought of this!  Another awesome reason to have this punch in your collection!

Go ahead and give this layout a try!  It makes such a pretty card!

Happy Stampin'

Freshly Made Sketches - 127 and Hand Stamped Sentiments - 181

Hello my Stampin' friends!

It has been a very long time, but life has been really busy.  Whew!  Hockey, hockey and more hockey - throw a birthday in there and we are done!  

Anyway, to get my mojo back, I decided to participate in 2 challenges for this card - 1 for colour inspiration and 1 for layout inspiration!  I love it!  So, if you are looking for some inspiration ....hop on over to Freshly Made Sketches for a great layout and over to Hand Stamped Sentiments for an awesome colour combo!  Done!  

These colours are way out of my comfort space, but boy, do like them!  Tango Tangerine, Midnight Muse and Chrushed Curry - very spring, wouldn't you say?

So where is the card, you say?  Here it is......

 

The supplies I used was Midnight Muse card base, Tango Tangerine cardstock layer with a this awesome Tango Tangerine Chevron - YUMMO!  Some Very Vanilla for the greeting and some more Tango for the banner.  I used the Crushed Curry and my Boho Blossom Punch to add some extra touches with the flowers.  A little twine and voila! 

I hope you like my card.  Thank you for stopping by! 

Happy Stampin'

Thoughts & Prayers - PPA 170!

Hi there! 

 

I was warned this might happen.......I have got the challenge bug! 

 

Last week I participated in my first challenge and this week, I am participating in two!  Yohoo!

 

I thought I would try my hand at a colour challenge - Pals Paper Arts, have a terrific one!  Beautiful fall colours......Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry and Early Expresso!  Yummie indeed!  Matching these colours all in one card took me out of my comfort zone a little bit, but boy am I happy the Pals did, after all, isn't that what a challenge is all about!

 

So about my card, one of my regular card class friends (Hi Marsha!) asked if we could make a sympathy card and I thought these colours would be a good fit.  It is always good to have some sympathy cards on hand in your stash. 

 

The Thoughts & Prayers stamp set was up for the challenge and it is such a great one to have in your collection.  I just love the verses for inside, because I never quite know what to say at a time like that.  This set is great for a get well card too.

 

And so, here is my card.........

 

 

 

The supplies I used are....

 

Early Espresso Cardstock and Ink

Very Vanilla Cardstock

Midnight Muse Cardstock

Daffodil Delight Cardstock (replacing Crushed Curry)

Designer Series Paper (can't recall the name, but I know it is retired)

Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set

Decorative Label Punch

Boho Blossoms Punch

Pearl Basic Jewels

 

I hope my card inspires you!  Go ahead a pop on over to Pals Paper Arts and see all of their wonderful talent in action!

 

Happy Stampin'
