Art in Bloom Bundle ~ CCMC704


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  This week is color week.  Our combo is a nice one of Poppy Parade, Bumblebee, and Night of Navy.  Kind of patriotic, I think!  I decided to with a combo of the red and yellow flowers from Art in Bloom.  I added "greenery" in Navy and gold from the Forever Flourishing dies.  The background base is stamped and ink blended with a combo of Bumblebee and Navy ink and stamps from Forever Fern and Art in Bloom as well as the Birch background stamp.  
The Poppy banner across the middle of the card is from the Art in Bloom die set.  






Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Heart and Home Jar of Flowers ~ CCMC703, CTC356, AYSI268


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's Thursday Challenge.  This week is sketch week.  
I needed some more birthday cards, so I'm working on updating my stash with cards for both men and women.  Jar of Flowers is always fabulous for a women's birthday card.  Who doesn't like flowers for their birthday?  I thought the colors from CASEing the Catty this week, which draws from the Heart and Home suite fit nicely with the flowers. 
I'm also playing with As You See It Challenge with my favorite technique: coloring 







Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Jar of Flowers, Best Year 
Paper: Fresh Freesia, Friendly Hello DSP, Pale Papaya, White
Ink: Blends markers--Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, Cinnamon Cider, Smokey Slate. Misty Moonlight ink pad
Accesssories: In Color jewels, Macrame EF, Flowers For Every Season ribbon, Silver Cord, Jar Punch, Stitched So Sweetly dies

Squirrel Love ~ CCMC702, PP577, SSC276

Hello there stampers!  Today's card is for a very Valentine color combo over at Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  I've never been a fan of purple and pink together....and then mix in a little red???  Uff, not in my favorite color combo wheelhouse.  Anyway, I think I did a pretty good job with these colors and I think they may have grown on me....just a little!  
I incorporated the theme challenge from the Paper Players and the sketch from Sunday Stamps

I'm so happy they held over Nuts about Squirrels that has the cute squirrel pair from the last mini catalog.  I think they make a fun Valentine duo, especially when you add the little hearts above their heads.  The hearts came form the Rainbow of Happiness set.  The mini ruffled Real Red ribbon is also a carry over from the holiday catalog.  
The teeny tiny scalloped edge of Real Red cardstock is an edge cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Sunshine and Rainbow Friend ~ CCMC701, PP576

Hello stampers! Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's Thursday Challenge.  It's sketch week and this one is kinda cool!  
I pulled from the Tic Tac Toe Challenge over at The Paper Players this week too!

Ever since I saw the big "Hello Friend" sentiment and the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP I thought they would go nice together.  I got my chance to try it today!
I'm partial to the Misty Moonlight background on this DSP and I also love the polka dots!  The little die cut clouds with the hearts stamped on them along with the Iridescent Rhinestone make the perfect little accessories to surround the sentiment.  




Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Rainbow of Happiness, Friendly Hello
Ink: Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Pool Party
Paper: Sunshine and Rainbows DSP, Bumble Bee, Misty Moonlight, White
Accessories: Layering Circles die, Brilliant Rainbow die, Iridescent Rhinestones

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
