And another birthday card...

 

This card uses image cards from the Simon Says Stamp August card kit.  The embossing folder is an older folder from the stash and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up.  I used the sketch from this week's challenge at Paper Craft Crew and added the embossed background for the challenge at Can you handle the pressure

Can you handle the pressure:  Anything goes with an optional twist of tie it up.

So happy you stopped by today.

Ocean thoughts

Hi there card makers, we have a new sketch at  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge on Monday, July 27th (see sketch below).  As I live right close to the ocean, I'm always in an ocean kind of mood and this sketch inspired me to make a card using images from the Stamperia Silent Sea paper pad.

Here's the sketch:

Please share you cards with us, we love to see how this sketch inspired you.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello My Friend

I'm stepping outside my comfort zone and am trying to make some artsy cards.  All stamps used are from a previous Simon Says Stamp kit called A little Artsy.

I will be submitting my card to this week's Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp, the challenge is Flowers using Simon Says products.

So happy you stopped by today!

Have a Bubbly Birthday

Hello stamping friends!  We have a new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week (see below).  I used cute little animals holding fizzing, bubbly beverages for my card.  The stamps are from Clearly Besotted "tiny tipples", they are colored using Zig watercolor brush markers and I added a few gems for sparkle.

Here's the sketch:

Hello from the fishes in the sea....

We have a new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge starting on June 22nd (see sketch below).  For my interpretation of the sketch I used a new stencil and stamp set from Blass & Bliss.  The little fish, crab and shrimp are so cute with their smiles and big eyes, swimming in the ocean having a fun time.  This stencil is becoming one of my favorites, a few more cards to come soon.

Here's the sketch:

Daisy Joy

Daisies are such sweet flowers, they always bring a smile to my face.  Stamperia has a beautiful pad of daisy papers and I chose this image from the pad for my card.  I added a striped, embossed background, a ribbon and a scalloped die cut to add texture to the card.

I will be submitting my card to this week's daisy challenge at Inspired By.

So happy you stopped by today.
