The Challenge # 23 - Crazy About Petals

Hello and welcome to The Challenge # 23! This week as have another beautiful  sketch and or color combo for you to play with!

 

 

 

 

 

To create my card I used ALL Stampin' Up! products. I loved playing with the new Petal Potpourri and Crazy About You stamp sets and the matching sentiment thinlits! The font is so much fun. I stamped and cut out the pretty petals and attached them just over the same images stamped onto card stock. I colored my flower using Cherry Cobbler, and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.

My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch - So Good For My Heart!

Friday is here, FINALLY! It has been a long week, but the upcoming weekend, and the beautiful Spring-like forecast makes it all worth it!

 

I sat down with this weeks MFT Sketch Challenge #211 and played with the sketch again!

Here is my card!

 

To create my card I stamped and colored one of the adorable images from BB You Have My Heart. I stayed true to the sketch this time. I used stitching to add my double lines to the top and bottom of my card. The heart accents were stamped, and die-cut. It was fun mixing the two! I am happy you stopped by and I hope you will play along with us this week at the MFT Sketch Challenge!

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #210 Take Two!

 

 Hello friends! I couldn't resist creating another card using this weeks MFT Sketch:

 

 

I must say there are SO MANY amazing cards in the gallery this week!

 

To create my card I used the ADORABLE Miss Tina set "Cute Critters".  I also used Blueprints 14. I am hooked on the Blueprints Die-namics die collections! They make building a card SO easy.

 

I am happy you stopped by, and I hope you will play along with us this week at the MFT Sketch Challenge!

The Challenge # 22 - Pretty Poppies

 

 

Hello and welcome to The Challenge # 22. This week we have an especially beautiful color combination:

 

 

 

I have a soft spot for all things "poppies", and this set by Clearly Besotted had to come home with me as soon as I saw it! I stamped the sentiment on sticky back linen by Claudine Helmuth Studios by Ranger Ink. As you can see from the picture I was even able to impress the linen backing using a stitched metal die! I am loving the way my card turned out, and I hope you like it too! I hope you'll play along with us at The Challenge!

 

Brand New Year Brand New Inspiration Brand New Design Team!

Hello and Happy New Year! Today  I am ECSTATIC to finally be able to announce my exciting news.  

 

 

  I am joining 5 of my very favorite card makers, and friends as we join Susan Opel,  the new Creative Ambassador for My Favorite Things.  Today a brand new blog dedicated to weekly color, and sketch challenges is being introduced. There will be SO much inspiration in one place!

 

I created a card especially for today.

 

 

 

         To create my card I used the My Favorite Things Friends Die-namics single die, and a sentiment from the MFT stamp set "Friends Like Us".  The polka dot pattern stamped on the strips of Persimmon Prestige card stock, Limelight Prestige card stock, and Tropical Teal Prestige card stock are also from the "Friends Like Us" stamp set. The polka dots were stamped in the coordinating ink colors. I heat embossed the sentiment using white powder, and finished my card with a flower and button from Die-namics Blueprints 14.

We would be THRILLED if you join us on our first challenge on January 5th. Be sure to visit our blog: http://www.cardchallenges.com/2015/01/challenge-inspiration-you.html to find out all the details.  Thank you for stopping by!
