Savvy Easter

Doesn't Easter make you smile? It makes me think of spring flowers and warmer weather. And, of course, Easter bunnies! This bunny cupcake stamp is from Savvy and had to be colored with Copics then cut out with Spellbinders. The Easter paper is DCWV and the sentiment is SU punched out with some SU punches. That pretty blue ribbon is from my stash. This card is perfect for the current Easter challenge over at Cards in Envy.

Polka Dot Birthday

I have a friend who loves green and when I saw this green Echo Park polka dot paper, I knew I had to use it for her birthday card. I paired it with some green paper embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and used some black and grey polka dot ribbon to cover that pesky paper seam. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches. I added some white American Crafts brads for extra dimension. This card is not only perfect for her birthday, it's perfect for the current Cards in Envy challenge to Think Green and the Anything Goes challenge at Seize the Birthday.

Loads of Love

I love how this card turned out and you can see the original one here. The heart stamp came with the SU Loads of Love Accessories set and the sentiment is part of the original SU Loads of Love set. I colored the hearts with some red and pink Copics and heat embossed the sentiment. The pearls are Recollections. A Spellbinders die was used to shape the sentiment and a Cuttlebug folder for the dry embossing. This card fits in perfectly with the Cards in Envy challenge to use red, pink and/or white.

Popcorn Love

I've had this striped paper for quite awhile and decided it was finally time to use it. The red/white striped paper is Recollections, as well as the heart brads. There's some red, white and black card stock for layering. I used a Spellbinders die for the center shape and fussy cut the black layer. The sentiment is Fiskars and stamped in SU Real Red. For a bit more detail, I added some baker's twine. 

When I showed this card to my hubby, he said it reminded him of an old popcorn box. I realized he was right!

Eye Heart You

The current Cards in Envy challenge is Through the Window. It requires a card to have some form of hole on the front of your card so you can see through to the inside. I chose to use a circle for the hole so an eyeball could be peeking out. The white/grey paper is DCWV and the blue stripes (and green) is SU. I used Bazzill for the hearts and layered it three times for some added texture. The U stamp is SU. For the monster inside, I used a Recollections stamp with SU Pacific Point and Old Olive inks. The hearts and circles were done with Spellbinders. 

Snowmen with no snow

I had to smile when I saw Cards in Envy Snow Buddy challenge. With all of the snow around the US, we don't have any here in the Pacific Northwest. However, I did get a cute new Mama Elephant Polar Pals stamp set for Christmas with some snowmen in it. The sentiment is from the same set. I stamped everything on white card stock and used some paper from a new 6x6 DCWV paper I also received for Christmas. The inks are VersaFine Onyx Black and SU Old Olive. I used my new Taylored Expressions dies to layer the sentiment and some American Crafts brads to finish it off.

Shine!

It's time for OWH sketch 196. This card is mostly Doodle Pantry...the image, sentiment and patterned digital papers. The black paper and white paper is card stock and the yellow is Bazzill. I used Nestabilities for the image shapes. This card fits into the current Cards in Envy challenge to use punches or dies.

I wish you a marvelous day filled with laughter.

Happy Birthday!

This card was inspired by one I pinned over on Pinterest. The sentiments all come from a Paper Smooches set and are stamped on scraps of card stock and Bazzill with Memento Tuxedo Black. I used some basic black card stock for the strips and the grey is DeNami. The bling is all from my stash.

 

Here's hoping you have a wonderful day!

Masculine Hey There

The inspiration for this card came from Pinterest. It also came from the desire to make some masculine cards and use up some of the s.e.i. papers I've had for awhile. The brown, silver and orange are card stock. I stamped the Hero Arts image in SU Pumpkin Pie and cut the circle with Nesties. The Paper Smooches sentiment is stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. Both the image and sentiment are popped up.

This card fits perfectly with Cards in Envy Manly Challenge and OWH ODBD Wheels challenge.

Flip and Fold

Cards in Envy posted a great tutorial on their Facebook page. It features an easy fold and I knew I had to try it. It was so fun that I made five of the first card and four of the second!

The first one uses some double-sided Screen Prints DP, pink card stock and a Hot Off the Press sentiment. The sentiment pieces were done with Nesties.

 

The second one showcases a piece of double-sided Doodlebug DP, some white card stock, and red Bazzill. This sentiment is also from Hot Off the Press.

 

Is there a particular fold you like to use besides the normal one?

Cards in Envy Layer Challenge

This challenge was made for me, I think. I love layers on cards and rarely have less than 3. You can find the challenge here. I used black and white card stock with some Simple Stories design papers. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I used OWH sketch 168.

 

I hope you'll take the time to play along!

Heartfelt Thanks

My card today covers two challenges: April's ODBD OWH challenge which is "Things that Fly" and Cards in Envy challenge "Things with Wings."

The clouds were done with two separate Fiskars punches and the circle is a SU punch. The sentiment is Inkadinkado and the image is DeNami. It's colored with watercolor pencils.

First, I punched out the clouds and attached them to the blue. Then I stamped the sentiment and ran the blue through my Cuttlebug. Punching out the circle came next and then I stamped the image directly onto the card base. Coloring it was fun and easy. Using some dimensional adhesive, the blue was then adhered to the card base.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
