Summertime Strawberry Happy Hour ~ HSS442, ATC262, IB296, PP697

Hello stampers! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #442.  Our colors that you can play along with for the next couple of week are: Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, and Daffodil Delight.

I went retro with this oldie but a goodie set called Happy Hour.  I fussy cut the lemonade drink, the strawberries, and the straw, and layered them all on a heart background diecut from Radiating Stitches. I also used a couple of the rectangles from Radiating Stitches.   

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

Guacamole Birthday ~ FMS642, ATSM471, PCC576, JAI708, DCC

Hello stampers!  Today's card was made for a teenager's birthday.  I combined several challenges on this one! I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. Addicted to Stamps and More was featuring a  marker challenge this time and I used my blends markers on this one.  The color inspiration came from Paper Craft Crew Challenge.  I used Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Poppy Parade.  Daring Cardmakers challenged us to use Happy and Bright this week and I think this card is exactly that!  And, last but not least, the Just Add Ink Challenge was to choose two out of blending, embossing, and white.  I chose blending (Blends Markers) and white.

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

STAMPS: Taco Fiesta

PAPER: White, Peach Pie, Poppy Parade, Regals DSP stack

INK: Daffodil Delight Blends, Pumpkin Pie Blends, Granny Apple Green Blends, Poppy Parade Blends, Memento Black

Accessories: Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon (retired)

Picture Perfect Beach Sunset Shaker ~ HSS441

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #441.

This challenge is all about the beach and sea! 

The moment I saw the new In Colors, Pretty In Pink and Peach Pie, in particular, I thought they would be beautiful combined into a sunset sky.  That's what I did here with my blend bushes.  I also added in some Azure Afternoon, and then used Summer Splash for the ocean. 

I thought it might be fun to turn this into a shaker card by using the die from Fluffiest Friends as kind of a "window" opening looking out to the ocean.  I used some actual sand, some retired Whale of a Time sequins, and the new Champagne Iridescent dots as my shaker elements.

 The colors, the champagne dots, and the center die cut are about all that's new on my card.  The rest of the pieces are retired products.  The branches are from the Tropical Thinlits dies and the starfish is from an old set called Picture Perfect.   

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

STAMPS: Picture Perfect, Very Best Occasions

INK: Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Summer Splash, Azure Afternoon, Versamark

PAPER: Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Black

ACCESSORIES: Tropical Thinlits dies, Fluffiest Friends die, Champagne iridescent dots, whale of time sequins, white EP, linen thread, sand

 Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
