I'm Hosting a DTGD Challenge!

Hi there! Here's my card for the Dare to Get Dirty Challenge I'm hosting! I sure hope you are a Fan Club Member and will play along with this one!



I love birds, so this TCP Nesting stamp set is perfect! I added a little button with twine and a few pearls...keeping it pretty simple for my style!

TCP meets SFYTT and Raise the Bar...

Hi there - just popping in to share a little card I made last night...I finally got a second to get working on last week's TCP Tuesday #117 color challenge of golden yellow, lime and raspberry. I combined it with Raise the Bar's challenge #26 called baked goodies and I used the Sketch for You to Try for this week.

I love this color combination...it reminds me of summer. I chose my baked goodie to be this yummy violet cupcake stamp from Lockhart stamps. It's stamped with Memento tuxedo black and I used copics E11, Y15, YG05, RV14 and RV23 to color it in...then I dotted the center of the flowers with some yellow Stickles for a little sparkle! The cardstock is all DCWV and the dp and bumble bee are from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie collection....one of my faves. The HBD sentiment is from The Cat's Pajamas and the pearl is Queen & Co. The yellow buttons and twine are from my stash!

I'm working today, so I gotta run...I hope you like it. It's nice to make a simple and cute card that makes people smile!

Have a great day!

It's your birthday...

Edit: This card was chosen as Top 3 at KL Stampin N Scrappin Challenge #38 - Embossing and it was featured at Flutterby Wednesdays!

This is my second post tonight, so scroll down for more!



I was really excited when I saw the Card Patterns sketch this week...I have had an idea in mind and it was the perfect week to try it out. I'm including this card in the following challenges:

Card Patterns Sketch #72 - great sketch!
KL Stampin N' Scrappin #38 - Dry embossing
Flutter by Wednesday # 112 - butterfly, fairy or angel
Sweet Stampin' Challenge #34 - Things with Wings
Cute Card Thursday # 120 - School's Out for Summer
The Shabby Tea Room # 17 - Let's Make an Impression - embossing

I started with some of my favorite papers from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie and embossed them with four different embossing folders - Sizzix Birthday and Cuttlebug's Divine Swirls, Swiss Dots and Floral Fantasy embossing folders to achieve a 'quilted' look. All the edges are inked with different inks including ColorBox Lime, Memento Rose Bud and A la Mode Aqua. I cut out the butterfly square from the same papers and stamped my sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas in Memento Tuxedo Black and set it on pop up dots for a little more dimension. The flowers are Prima and the brad is Urban Prairie. I used some cord from Crate Paper Katlin collection, a few Recollections pearls and bling, and a sparkly butterfly from Jolee's to finish it off! I love these summery colors, don't you!?!

I hope you like it!
