Happy Hibiscus Wedding ~ CTD836, GDP503, PP744

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is another wedding card.  I'll be posting a few more after this as well.  It's definitely wedding season!  To start this beauty off, I used the color combo from Color Throwdown #836.  My colors are Berry Burst, Timid Tiger, and Crumb Cake.  I used the tic tac toe theme as well from The Paper Players Challenge #744. I chose the middle/across section of Flowers, Die Cuts, and Embossing.  And last but not least, I was inspired by the Flowers Theme Challenge at Global Design Project.

I figured the Happy Hibiscus set would look lovely in these bright colors, so that's the direction I went.  I think the Crumb Cake elevates the colors to make them a little more elegant.  I also love to add some glimmer to wedding cards, so I added gold glimmer paper leaf sprigs.

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Happy Hibiscus

Paper: White, Timid Tiger, Crumb Cake

Ink: Berry Burst, Timid Tiger, Crumb Cake, Versamark

Accessories: Layers of Beauty die (small leave sprig), Changing Leaves die (sentiment die), White EP, Mesh Ribbon, Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Wedding Congrats ~ SSC363

Hello stampers! Today's card is for Sunday Stamps Challenge #363. The colors I used were Peach Pie, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, and Old Olive.

It's wedding season, so there's lots of wedding cards needed! I think the Layers of Beauty bundle makes the most perfect wedding cards. The roses look amazing no matter what color combination you're using. I love the peach/orange combination here against the dark gray/blue background. 

I started by stamping the roses in stamped off Secret Sea and then coloring it with the masks in the challenge colors. I the die cut the roses and the sliced the whole peice in half. For the background, I embossed a piece of Cloud Cover with the Forever Plaid 3D EF, distressed the edges, and then brushed it with Secret Sea ink. I splattered some black and white in over the whole background before attaching it the the Secret Sea base. Next, I adhered the sliced up flowers along the edge of the card. The sentiment from a retired set called Your Perfect Day was stamped in Secret Sea in on a level cut from Tasteful Labels die cuts. I laid down a big bow of Flowers For Every Season Twisted twine before popping up the label over the top. The card was finished off with a sprinkle of some blue gems.

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Layers of Beauty, Your Perfect Day

Paper: Secret Sea, White, Cloud Cover

Ink: Peach Pie, Timid Tiger, Secret Sea, Old Olive

Accessories: Forever Plaid 3D EF, Flowers For Every Season twine, blue gems, Tasteful Labels dies

Wedding Wishes ~ HSS466, GDP502

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments June Color Challenge.  Our colors this time are Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green.  

I needed to make a wedding card, so I went with the beautiful roses and posies of Layers of Beauty, both the stamp set and the decorative masks.  I just love using this set.  It's so easy to achieve many layers of color with the masks. For the sentiments, I used Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies.  I placed the sentiments to coordinate with the sketch from Global Design Project #502.  Although the shape of my card is a bit different with the Everyday Arches dies, I think it lends itself nicely to the sketch inspiration.

I was totally inspired by this card, made by Beth Roy.

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Delightful Wishes, Layers of Beauty

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green, Smokey Slate

Paper: Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green, White

Pink Lemonade ~ HSS465, GDP500, TTTC272

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments photo inspiration/color challenge #465.  I chose the photo with the pinks.  I used the Cheer & Sips bundle again to complete my card.  I'm also playing along with Global Design Project #500 where we get to case any one of the designers.  I chose to case Kim Fee's card, which I've showcased below.  I'm also participating in Tic Tac Toe Challenge #272 using Die Cuts/Patterned Paper/Enamel Dots or Sequins.  

For my card, I started with the tall glass, embossed with White EP and cut from a piece of Celebratory Sips DSP. The mint leaves were embossed with white EP on Soft Seafoam CS and die cut.  I embossed the lemons with white EP on watercolor paper and watercolored them with Pretty In Pink ink.  I added some chunky glitter to the rim of the glass to mimic a sugar rim.  I also added some iridescent glitter to the pink lemons.  For the sentiment, I embossed with white EP on Flirty Flamingo CS and fussy cut it out.  Everything is layered on a background of white CS embossed with the Basics EF with bit of Flirty Flamingo ink brushed behind the glass.  The white background is layered on a piece of Flirty Flamingo CS and adhered to a Pretty In Pink cardbase.  

Lastly, I used several enamel dots and pearls.  This was one of the things I really liked on Kim's card.    

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Party Piggy Grad/Birthday ~ GDP499

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for my oldest grandson's birthday/kindergarten graduation party.  

This is one of the great things about creating your own cards.  They can be customized to whatever you need!  I used the new Piggy Party stamp set and coordinating die to make this fun card.  I'm sharing it to Global Design Project #499 which challenges us to use animals this week.  

I wanted to use bright, fun colors and had set some scraps of these colors aside on my desk quite some time ago.  Even though this card is for my grandson, I thought the bright pink was just right for this cute little piggy.  And the sentiment fit right in with what I need the card for!  The WOO HOO is from a retired set called Amazing Phrases and the grad cap is from another retired set called Pomp and Circumstance.  My grandson's little cap and gown are a gold/yellow color, so I chose to make the cap Daffodil Delight to match.  

I think this turned out so cute and is fun.  He's gonna love it, I know!

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Party Piggy, Amazing Phrases, Pomp & Circumstance

Ink: Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink

Paper: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel, White, Polished Pink

Accessories: Party Piggy Dies
