Kristina Werner Color Challenge #11

I look forward to these every week- you can see the original post here !! So many super cards and lots of great inspiration!!

I needed a card for a co-worker who lost her "fur baby" this week and I wanted something cheery so I went with happy geometric flowers.

For this card I used my Cuttlebug Flowers -I curled up the petals on the middle layer for a bit of dimension and some wide grosgrain ribbon from American Crafts. The Sentiment is from Stampin Up's Hostess Sayings. I accented with dew drops.

5 second card!

Well maybe not 5 seconds- more like 5 min.

This was for my friend's little guy's birthday.

Paper is stampin up- Summer something or other..haha no idea really

Cardstock is Stampin Up

Stamp is Pond life from papertrey

Ink is Palette and Stampin up

Tools: Swiss Dots and Nestabilities

Baby ATC Swap

I'm participating in my very first swap ever!! The swap is Baby themed and you had to use 1 Papertrey stamp- well why stop at 1 I say.........

These were really fun to make but SOOOOO teenie! I fell in love with Nicole's card on her countdown a long time ago so I used it as my inspiration.

I used Papertrey Stampers select and Lemon Tart cardstock, Palette burnt umber and lemon tart ink, Pinny Valentine, Polka Dot basics and Mixed messages Stamps- all Papertrey.

I also used the swiss dots folder and tiny tags die from Cuttlebug, Oval scallop nestabilities and the ribbon is Offray.

Mojo #41 meets Honey Bees

I am loving this Honey Bees set from Papertrey so super cute- I hope they come out with more sentiments to go along with it!

I used Julie's Mojo Sketch for this card. Check out the original HERE.

I used Papertrey's Bitty baby blessings patterned paper, Spring moss and lavender moon cardstock. Ink is also Papertrey lavender moon, sweet blush, berry sorbet and spring moss. I used Palette burnt umber for the bees and the sentiment. Stamps are Honey Bees. I accepted with Lavender moon twill ribbon, dew drops and stickles on the bees.

Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #19- sans cupcake!!!

This was Taylor's Sketch for this week- it is for her cupcake challenge but I wasn't feeling in a cupcake mood!!

I used DCWV Patterned paper and Bazzill cardstock. The crown is Heidi Swapp and the sentiments are from a Bella Set- I have no idea which one!!!. Polka Dots are Papertrey.

Ribbon is Offray, Bling is from the $ store and Ink is Brilliance Graphite

Mojo Monday- #40 Adoption Wishes

I LOVED this sketch and I had the perfect card in mind so this is what I threw together!

This card uses the following- all Papertrey!

Bitty Blessing patterned paper, Lavender Moon and Spring Moss cardstock, Bitty baby Blessing stamps, Polka Dot Basics on the bunny, Lavender moon polka dot ribbon and Lavender Moon Ink. I also used my scallop and classic nestabilities and liquid applique for the tail.
