Blueberries For My Honey ~ FMS749

Hello friends!  Today's card is one that I made for my Husband for his upcoming birthday.  He's a big fan of blueberry pie and every year on his birthday I make him one.  I thought this would be a cute card to give him along with his pie.  I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  It's been a long, long time since I've been able to play along with this challenge.  One of the requirements for FMS is to keep things clean and simple.  This isn't my usual style and I really had to restrain myself from adding a bunch of extras!  Everything worked out well, though, because I feel like cards for men are usually not so fussy.  

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

Stamps: Words and Wishes, Filled with Sweetness

Paper: watercolor, Blueberry Bushel, White, Dandy Designs DSP

Ink: Blueberry Bushel ink and Blends, Granny Apple Green Blends, Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Filled with Sweetness, Unbounded Love, and Natures Symphony dies

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Congratulations In Color ~ HSS493

Hello friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge for July, which is a color combo that I got to choose!  It's a beautiful color trio featuring two of our new In-Colors: Golden Glow and Barely Blush.  I thought they paired nicely with Lost Lagoon.  

I let all the patterned paper do the heavy lifting on this card!  Everything except the sentiment and the ribbon is DSP!  I colored the flowers from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP and fussy cut them out.  I used my ink pads and blender pens to swipe on the color for the Golden Glow flowers and the Lost Lagoon leaves.  I used my Barely Blush Blends to color in the others.

Everything sits on a background of Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper.  I thought the sparkle in the paper added an elegance that could make this a wedding card.  

I'm playing along with Just Us Girls mood board challenge as well. I think these beautiful summery colors fit into that board nicely.

I cased this card from Papertrey Ink.  I wish I knew who made it so I could give them the credit, but I searched with no conclusion.  I loved how special it looked with the extra folded strips of DSP.  

 Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Wonderful Thoughts

Ink: Barely Blush blends, Golden Glow, Lost Lagoon

Paper: White, In-Color DSP, Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper, Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP, Lost Lagoon

Accessories: White EP, Silver & White ribbon

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Hello Lovely Summer ~ HSS492, TTTC296

Hello friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Mood Board Challenge!  I was inspired by the stripes, dots, gold accents, and pink flowers. Inspiration photos are among my favorite challenges to play along with and this one definitely has so many options to choose from! I'm so excited to see what everyone come up with, so please play along with us! 

I'm also playing along with Tic Tac Toe Challenge going down the right side using Summer Colors, Border, and Stencil.  My stencil is obviously the flower from Layers of Beauty.  For the border, I used my Stitched With Whimsey die, and of course all shades of pink are summery colors.  

This is a CASE of a card I made back in 2024.  I came across the card and decided I wanted to make a re-do with this fabulous DSP from Artisan Sketched Garden and use the wonderful pink colors from the inspiration photo. 

 

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

Stamps: Layers of Beauty, Sweet Blooms

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush, Melon Mambo, Peaceful Pine, Memento Black, Versamark

Paper: Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, Strawberry Slush, Black, White, Gold Glimmer

Accessories: Stitched with Whimsey die, Sweet Blooms die, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Gold Glitter EP

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
