Happy Birthday

These rainy days sure do make good crafting days. A quick run to the mailbox, dodging raindrops, made the day even better. I had a package from Simon Says Stamp! I was the lucky recipient of a gift certificate a couple of weeks ago and put it to good use. The pretty Magnolia die by Honey Bee Stamps was one of my new toys. It seemed a good fit for a few challenges. This will be heading to the Freshly Made Sketches, Seize the Birthday and  Tic, Tac Toe galleries. 

Using the sketch, I made a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square card. The birthday topping option this week is green plus one color. Mine is pale pink ink blended lightly onto some of the magnolia petals. The Tic, Tac Toe options of square card, die cut and embossing gave me what I needed to finish the card. The embossed panel was gifted to me by sweet Michele! A simple foiled sentiment tab from Memory Box was the finishing touch.

 

 

And there you have it, friends. 

Thanks for taking a minute to stop by today!

Love You

Hey there, I'm popping in again today with another card! This one is for The Paper Players challenge.

With the rainy day we're having, I thought a bright and happy rainbow was in order. The Poppystamps Hearts Shining Arch is a cute one! I Copic colored the paper added behind the cutouts, (made with the Rainbow Arch die), then framed it with the Double Scallop Frame. I picked the bright green from the rainbow as my card base color. A simple sentiment was all it needed. I'm thinking this is a Sweet P card, hence the blue heart, her favorite color!

Thanks for taking a peek, I appreciate it!

Just Us Girls #722 ~ Get Well Soon

Hello and welcome! I'm hosting over at Just Us Girls for Word Week. I thought RAIN was an appropriate word for April. I'm hoping that's not the case for the entire month. Sweet P started softball practice yesterday! And guess what? Her daddy is her coach!! They are both beyond excited. He played baseball from T-ball all the way through high school. As luck would have it a spot opened up and he jumped at it. This is going to be a fun season!

Okay, you came here for a card, so here you go!

I pulled out some older products to play with for this card. A rain drop embossing folder by TE was my jumping off point. The panel was framed with a P&M cloudy die cut then topped with an umbrella and clouds from PPP's Rainy Days stamp and die sets. A quick and simple card to send get well wishes.

I hope you can find time to play along with us this week, we love it when you do!

Beyond Happy For You

Hey there! I'm popping in today with a card for The Flower Challenge. They're looking for layers and it just so happens that I had put quite a few on this card. Take a look...

Yep, I layered up several dies from Poppystamps. The Nordic Majestic Bloom fills the Scallop Stitched Frame nicely, don't you think? And just look at all of it's layers! I backed it with a vellum panel cut with the Nordic Lacy die. I wasn't going to add a sentiment, but this one by Pinkfresh seemed a good fit and it adds yet another layer. The flower head and sentiment are both popped up with foam tape. 

Off this goes to the gallery. I hope you have a great weekend. Ours is chilly and rainy at the moment. Welcome to April!
