The Open Sea...


With the exception of the embossing folder this is an SU! only card I made for today's inspiration challenge on Splitcoaststamper's. I used this globe as a starting point and thought of this SU! set The Open Sea. The colours are Cherry Cobbler, River Rock, Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Whisper White. The River Rock base was embossed with The Diamond in The Rough folder.
Have a great day!

Snow Swirled Tree...


Hi there! I have another Christmas card to share today :) It is a clean and simple design using the tree image from the SU! Snow Swirled set. I stamped it in Old Olive ink onto Very Vanilla card stock. The dsp is from a Simply Scrappin' kit. The sentiment is from the set Petite Pairs.
Today's Ways To Use It challenge on SCS was to use leaves somewhere on your card. The tree image has tiny swirling leaves in it so I added this one to the gallery :)

More Snowmen...


I used the sketch from SCS this week once again for another Christmas card with the More the Merrier snowmen image. On this card I stamped one of the sentiments from the set Petite Pairs and used Merry Moments dsp.

Season's Greetings...


For today's inspiration challenge on SCS I used this green purse from Liberty Co. I pulled out my Wintergreen papers again and used the SU! sets Many Merry Messages and Season of Joy.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Snoopy & Woodstock...


Several years ago I saw a card using this stamp on this blog and have been looking for the stamp ever since. I finally found the stamp and cased the card :) I kept the layout and colours and changed the sentiment and ribbon. Also, I left the base plain and added texture by embossing the yellow strip of card stock. This is such a fun stamp I know I will enjoy using it!

Sketch Challenge...


I used today's sketch from SCS for the layout of this Christmas card. I've still got lots of this older Wintergreen dsp left to use and haven't made anything with it for quite awhile so I pulled it out to use on this one. I stamped the snowman image from The More the Merrier retired hostess set and used SU markers to colour it. Then added the two silver brads and stamped the sentiment from the set Christmas Greetings - another quick card for the holidays done!

Rose...


Hi there! I finally bought my first MFT stamp a few weeks ago, it's called Rose. It has taken me a little longer to get stamping with it then I would have liked, but, I finally had time to make this card :) Today's SCS Colour Challenge was my starting point - Regal Rose, Blushing Bride and Lucky Limeade. I paper pieced her dress and then coloured over it using a Copic Marker. I coloured the rest of the image in using Copics and the Regal Rose SU marker colour. The sentiment is from the SU set ThankYou Kindly.
Thanks for dropping by!

Chocolate Cupcake...


I have another birthday card to share today...
I paper pieced the chocolate cupcake and popped it up on the circle of Whisper White card stock. I used Pink Pirouette as the card base and added random widths of various papers to create a simple background. The sentiment comes from the SU set A Word For You and the Cupcake is from Crazy for Cupcakes. Today's clean and simple challenge on SCS was cupcakes so this one was perfect for it. Have a great day!

Cupcakes...


I wanted to make a few more birthday cards for my stash and needed some inspiration. When I saw this card on Wendy's blog I decided to case it. I used the same colours and layout but left off the horizontal border and added the spiral clip with ribbon instead.

Giving flowers...


I had time last night to colour in this Penny Black image and make this clean and simple card. I stamped one of the sentiments from a set by MFT along the bottom of the card and added some Pool Party ribbon. The long retired Fall Flowers dsp works quite well with this new in colour which is great because I have quite a bit of it to use up!

Supplies: Penny Black stamp, MFT-Rose (sentiment), Pool Party and Whisper White cs, Fall Flowers dsp, scallop border punch, Pool Party ribbon, nestabilities and bigshot, dimensionals, Copic Markers

Falling Leaves...


Today's Free For All challenge on SCS is to create your our background. I have used the random stamping technique with the SU set Falling Leaves for this card. The colours are More Mustard, Early Espresso, Pool Party and Cajun Craze stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock. The other stamp set used for the sentiment is called Thankful For...

Happy Birthday wishes...


Hello there, and happy Fall!
I just got back from a short vacation and I'm starting to make some time to stamp again after taking a break for the summer months as well :) As you can see this card is not inspired by the Fall season at all. It's a cheery birthday card with one of my Betsy Bluebell images, it would be great for a Spring or Summer B-day. I pulled the colours from the designer paper and used Copic markers to colour the image. I also added some Pretty in Pink satin ribbon and a cute crocheted flower :)
Thanks for dropping by today!
