The Card Concept & FMS142 ... Oh Baby!

Happy Friday Everyone,

The weekend is finally here!  I had some free time last night, and created a baby card for this week's theme over at The Card Concept.  I think my card is Clean and Layering.  The card layout is this week's  Freshly Made Sketches.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

   
 
My card:

 

The card base is Whisper White, and the patterned paper is from SU! Parisian Breeze.  I matted both the images and sentiment with Baja Breeze card stock.  I stamped the hot air balloons from Inspired by Stamping The Sky's the Limit with Early Espresso ink, fussy cut them and adhered them to the patterned paper with dimensional dots.  The clouds are from the top of the cupcake punch from SU!  The two flags were die-cut with MFT Fishtail Flags.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Big Notes III, also stamped in Early Espresso ink.  Two enamel dots finish off the details.

Rain and Umbrella

Hey Everyone!

Today's card was created for this week's The Kraft Journal Challenge - Rain and The Card Concept - Use an Umbrella.  I think my card is in the Classy and Elegant Category, but not sure.

 

 

 

 

 

I began with a Kraft card base, and the layers are from a retired DSP from SU! called Parisian Breeze.  The die-cut umbrella was created using the Memory Box Petite Umbrella.  I then added some rain using a little stamp I borrowed from a sweet friend.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Brown ink, and die-cut it with my circle nesties.

CMCC#14 & The Card Concept.... Butterfly

Hi Friends,

Today I have a spring-theme card to share with you.  My card was created using this week's Butterfly Theme from The Card Concept and Color Challenge from Colour Me.


 

My card:

 

 

Yes, another card using the Hardwood stamp from SU!  I LOVE this background stamp - the possibilities are endless.  I started out with some Kraft card base.  I stamped the Hardwood image on a Whisper White panel in Crumb Cake ink.  I creates a hole on the fence using the smallest spellbinder circle.  The delicate butterflies are from SU! Kindness Matters, and was stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink.  I then arranged them as if they were coming through the hole.  the sentiment is from SU! Elementary Elegance, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  I used my handy stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the sentiment perfectly.  Two orange rhinestones finishes off the details.

 

I'm not sure, but I think my card is Freestyle Collage..What do you think?

The Card Concept #4

Hi Everyone,

Today, I have a card for this week's Card Concept Challenge - it's all about flowers.

My card:

The card base is Very Vanilla card stock.  The pretty patterned paper is from Bo-Bunny.  A cluster of knitted flowers takes the spotlight on the card.  Luckily, I had some pink yarn left over from another project.  I stamped the stem and leaves from Inspired by Stamping Daisies in Early Espresso ink, and well as the sentiment (SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes).  I wrapped a bit of pink satin ribbon on the bottom of the card, and embellished it with a trio of pearls.  For the final touch, I adhered big pearls on each of the flowers.  I am going to say this is a clean and layered card.

I am also adding this card to the following challenges:

Inspired by Stamping - Monthly Challenge - Flowers

The Card Concept .. Birthday Wishes

Good Afternoon,

Popping in quickly to share a card for The Card Concept Challenge - Monochromatic Pink.  I think my card falls in the "clean and Layering" category.

My card:

I matted both the image and the light pink paper panel with Blushing Bride and arranged them on a pretty floral panel.  I then stamped the image from SU! Easter Blossoms in Pink Pirouette ink.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Fancy Sentiments, and was stamped in Chocolate Chip.  To Finish off the details, a trio of tiny pearls were added to the basket.

I'm also submitting this card to Seize the Birthday - "Anything Goes" Birthday and Inspired by Stamping  February Customer Gallery.

The Card Concept 2

Hello friends,

Today's card was created for this week's The Card Concept.  I chose to go with Clean and Simple.  I've been busy with other projects, leaving little time to make cards. 

My card:

The card base is Whisper White, with another layer of the same, but I added some texture with the cuttlebug embossing folder Grace's Frame.  The pretty flowers are from SU! Stippled Blossoms.  I inked the flower with Perfect Plum ink and stamped it off onto some scrap paper one time prior to stamping it onto the white card stock.  The overstamp was also inked in Perfect Plum.  I didn't have my stamp-ma-jig on hand, so I simply eye-balled it.  The leaves were stamped in Wild Wasabi ink.  The sentiment is from SU! Wetland, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  Lastly, two small pearls were added to each flower.

I'm also linking up to Word Art Challenge #116 - Anything Goes and CASology Week 80: Purple

The Card Concept #1

Hello Friends,

There is a new challenge blog called The Card Concept.  This is an exciting challenge, since you have 6 style themes to choose from!  I couldn't resist not making a Valentine's card using this color combo:

My card:

I decided to go with a Clean and Simple (CAS) card.  The card base is Very Vanilla, with another layer of the same card stock.  The branch was die-cut from Espresso card stock using the Memory Box Woodland Branch and the swing was die-cut from Kraft card stock using the Memory Box Set of Swings.  The tree was hand drawn.  Two pink hearts were adhered to the swing using some dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping Be Mine, and was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
