Fab Friday Sketch #64

Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by.  Today, I have a card that I created using the inspiration sketch over at Fab Friday.  Be sure to stop by to see all the wonderful cards that were created using this sketch.  You can do that here.

This is the inspiration sketch....how did I do?

 

For my card I used SO MANY retiring items.  The first is the beautiful Painted Petals Stampset!  I LOVE this set and am very sad to see it go.  

I also used the retiring Perfect Poka Dots Embossing folder.  sniff, sniff.  Mine has been used so much.  AND you are gong to want to get this patterned paper before it is gone too!  All of this will be retired as of June 1st.  You can stop by my on-line store and have it delivered straight to your door.  If you need any help, just send me a message

Be sure to stop by later this week.  I will posting the projects that I created for my latest segment on Roger's Daytime TV.

Happy Stampin'

Field Flowers Thank you

Hello my Stampin' friends,

 

Today I have a card to show you that I made a few weeks ago with my card class, the ladies really enjoyed making this one.  I love these colours and they are desperately trying to get me into a spring kinda mood!  The good news is that our temperatures here in Ontario are trying to go up on the thermometer!  I can't wait for some of these snow banks to melt - some of them are almost as tall as the hydro lines!  ESH!

 

Anyway, onto my card  ;)  I used some great tools to make this card...I used some Coordination's cardstock, Banner framelits and my perfect poka dots embossing folder to create the banner. I sanded my poka dots a little bit so we can see the inside colour of the cardstock - so pretty!     My 'thank you' sentiment is from the Lots of Thanks Stampset.

 

  

 

I used my Field Flowers stampset on Very Vanilla which gives some big beautiful flowers.  I stamped each flower twice once in the Blushing Bride and then once again in Primrose Petals to match the cardstock colours.    The green colour I used for the stem is old olive and I used some of the same colour cardstock to frame out my flowers - ties it all together nicely.

 

I hope you enjoyed my card and some spring inspiration!

 

Happy Stampin'

Paper Pals Challenge #187 and Pals Paper Arts #195

Hello my stampin' friends!  Thank you for stopping by again!

I found some great inspirational challenges at The Paper Players and Pals Paper Arts.  If you haven't been there already, you should hop on over and take a look at the wonderful creations found there! 

I wanted something spring feeling and cheerful for my aunt who is not well right now and these challenges offered just the opportunity!  Here is the card I created....

I started with a Very Vanilla card base, used Wild Wasabi for an extra layer for a border and then So Safron for the top layer.  I used the new matching Pansy Punch and Flower

Shop stampset from the Annual Catalogue.  I love when there is a matching punch and I just love these little flowers!  I arranged them in a bouquet of sorts and added some green leaves from the Bird Builder Punch!  My greeting is from an oldie but a goodie, Sincere Salutations - I LOVE this set!  If you can get your hands on it, buy it!  It covers every kind of occasion.

Here is one last look.  I used the Decorative Label Punch to cut out my greeting and then punched a second one in Rose Red to make a 'border' by cutting it in half and gluing it to the ends - sort of a fooler, if you will.  I love the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder when I want to add a little something, always the perfect touch, I think!  And finally a little ribbon for the flowers.

  Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'
