Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges today with this card.

The sunflower stamp is an old one (an a goodie) from the former Angel Company.  I colored it with Copic markers.  Tag die is from Papertrey, Ink.

The yellow gingham designer paper is also old from my A*Muse studio stash.  I cut a strip of green cardstock and added a length of self-adhesive lace border to it for added interest.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.

From me to you

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with some new dies and stamps from Gummiapan.

The heart tag and the notebook border are new as is the type background stamp.  I used it on the smaller heart dies (PTI) as well, using antique linen oxide ink. You'll have to enlarge the photo to see that.  The sentiment stamps on the heart tag are from The Stamp Market and the xoxo is from Whimsy stamps.  

I used walnut stain distress ink on the edges of the type panel and added the small bow to the tag and called this done.

By the way, Color Me Nordic is a US based online store for Gummiapan dies, stamps and they're also carrying Craft Addiction UK dies too.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Just a note

Hi again.  I'm cleaning and organizing my craft room today, and that led to some creativity.  This one is inspired by the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

The long notebook page was created using an old Papertrey, Ink die.  For the lines, I used an old background stamp from My Favorite Things.  The clipboard die is from Sizzix/Tim Holtz.  

The notebook paper on it is from a patterned paper pad from PTI called pencil me in.    The "just a note" is a stamp from the Ink Blot Shop. I thought it was funny how it fit into the lines on the notebook paper.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

Happiest of Birthdays - SSC357

Hello.  Time for another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. The challenge is a color or inspiration photo using the prompt below.  

I decided to go with the grapes and created a wine label using Bing A.I. I printed it out on 80lb cardstock and used a label die from PTI to cut it out. 

The grape leaf dies are from Memory Box.  I highlighted them with inks and a white gel pen. The happiest of birthdays sentiment is from The Stamp Market.  The inside of the card is below and the sentiment and wine bottle are from Hero Arts.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with the following Thinking of You card.

I started off using the sketch from CAS on Fridays.  The tag dies are from PTI and MFT.  The tulip stencil is from Echo Park and I used Simon Says Stamp inks and a mini blending brush to create the panel. The sentiment is from Park Lane which I stamped in black ink then heat embossed in clear. 

Below are the challenges I'm entering this into:

CAS on Friday - sketch

Hello

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this family of bears today.

I stamped, colored and cut out the bears from My Favorite Things to create this scene.  I paper-pieced their scarves using plaid designer paper from Say it with stamps/photoplay's Holiday plaid 6x6 paper pad. The tree stamp is from Gina K Designs. I used distress oxide ink in tumbled glass and stenciled on the clouds in the background.

Finally added a bit of twine and a tag to say Hello. The hello sentiment is from Altenew and the tag die is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. I used foam squares to bring the bears up from the background.  The stitched frame is cut three times and glued together as well.  

Thanks for stopping in. I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Tic Tac Toe challenge (see graphic below)

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this clean and simple card today.

The flower dies are from Papertrey, Inc. I cut them out of white cardstock then ink blended over them using SSS pawsitively saturated ink in cheeky and blush.  White buttons are used for the centers of the flowers and I had to tie them with twine to get a cute bow for the centers on each.

The sentiment is from The Ton. The dot outline die is from a blueprints die collection from MFT stamps. Tiny dew drops from Memory Box finish this off.

Adding this to the following challenges.
