Color Hues #140

Hello, friends! I’m back with another card for this week’s Color Hues Challenge.  I had the window die on my desk from using it last week, so I decided to use it again, along with the branch and bird die that I remembered having in my stash.  I thought it was the perfect addition to the window.  I also remembered having some old Stampin' Up! designer paper from many years ago that matches the colors, so I decided to incorporate that as well.  I love giving some of those older supplies in my stash a little love!

Supplies:

Paper: Designer Paper (Stampin' Up!) 

Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Nestled Bird and the Madison Window (Poppy Stamps), Woodland Branch (Memory Box)

The Kraft Journal.... Happy Bird-Day

Happy Tuesday,

This week, I am playing along with The Kraft Journal Challenge.  We were asked to incorporate a bird on our projects.

My card:

To make my card, I started off with a Kraft card base, followed with Pretty in Pink card stock.  The pretty patterned paper is from Melissa Francis.  Since I don't own any bird/bird cage stamps, I decided to use the Serenade Cricut Cartridge to cut out the bird cage (at 3 inches).  The little yellow bird was die-cut with the Poppy Stamps Nestled Bird.  I further embellished the card by adhering a banner on the top left hand corner.  I then added tiny pearls to it.  The sentiment is from The Craft's Meow Tweet, and was stamped in Chocolate Brown ink.  The final details are two pink buttons on the bottom corners.

I'm also adding this card to the following challenges:

House of Cards - March Challenge #1 - Shabby + Add a Button
The Pink Elephant Challenge #240 - Birthday
Seize the Birthday Challenge - "Anything Goes" Birthday
Word Art Wednesday - Challenge #121 - Anything Goes

IBSIC #29

Hello my friends,

I'm here to share a card for this week's Inspired by Stamping Challenge #29.  We were asked to use Browns, Greens and Creams/Whites.  Joanna's photo inspiration is beautiful!

My card:

The card base is Crumb cake and the layers are from the Orchard Harvest Paper Pad.  I wanted to use the Grand Madison Window, by Poppystamps, for this card, since I have not used it in a while.  The background are trees from SU Lovely as a Tree stamp set.  Using my MS punch, I added some fall color leaves/branches and a button with a bow made with Baker's Twine. 

 

The card gives me a feeling that Fall and Winter are near.
