By the light....

 

I'm loving some new items I bought for making cards.  I was inspired to make this card by the current challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is Layer it Up / Use Ephemera. I will be submitting my card to the challenge.

Items used:
  • 49th & Market Botanical Bees die cuts and paper pad
  • Sequence from Stampin Up
Thank you for stopping by today.

Pretty daisies on wooden background


I recently purchased a paper pack and die cut elements from 49th & Market called Botanical Buzz; my card is made using some of the paper and die cuts.  I added 3 rows of lace to match the lace on the Tag.

I will be submitting my card to the challenge at Inspirational, use a tag.


So happy you stopped by today.

Flowery Birthday Wishes


Recently I added Stampin' Ups Charming day stamps, dies and design paper to my ever growing craft supplies.  This set is so pretty and is giving me the opportunity to try and match colors on my watercolored images.

When I saw this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches I knew I could make a card to fit the sketch.  Here's the sketch for inspiration:

Birthday Bear Hugs

 

The July challenge at Die Cut Divas is to create a BIRTHDAY card.  Our sponsor this month is:

My Favorite things will be closing, they have had such wonderful stamps, dies and crafting supplies over the years.  As they are closing the winner of our birthday challenge will receive a $25 gift card from another stamp store.
