PP193...Happy Mother's Day

Happy Monday Everyone,

Today's card was made using this week's Sketch Challenge from The Paper Players.  Like Sandy, I was also drawn to use the Blossom Party Die.  By far, this is my all-time favorite flower die.

 

 

 

 

I started out with Whisper White card base, and used DCWV La Crème Paper Pad for the long strip patterned paper.  I used some washi tape for the little square, which I thought was the perfect combination.  I then die-cut the pretty flower using Real Red card stock.  I liked the idea how Sandy curled up the petals with a bone folder, as a matter of fact, I liked it so much, I curled the petals the same way too ( thanks Sandy, for the brilliant idea!).  The sentiment is from SU! Wonderful Mother, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  The final details are three pearls on the right hand corner and a big pearl in the center of the flower.

DD#100....Sweet Birthday

Happy Sunday!

I wanted to quickly post this card I created last night.  I am playing along with Dynamic Duos last colour combo! I am so sad to see this wonderful challenge close.  I have certainly become a better card maker when I pushed myself to enter these card challenges.  Ironically, I was waiting for the next Design Team call because I wanted to submit a card for consideration, and when I saw the post about "announcement" - I thought that was it!  :(

  

 

 

For my card, I began with Whisper White card base, and used a mixture of DSP's from SU! Just Add Cake and Comfort Café.  I do not Smokey Slate card stock, but I substituted with something similar from my stash.  I die-cut the ovals with the Creative Memories Ovals Set.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Small Fancy Labels 18, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  A collection of small flowers and a pretty bow added the perfect amount of glam to the card.

 

I am also adding this card to the following challenges:

Exploring Cricut and More... Happy Spring

Hi Everyone,

The weekend is almost here!  I created a "spring" card for this week's Exploring Cricut and More!  This week is all about celebrating Spring.

 

 

The first thing that came to my mind was a basket of flowers!  The card base is Whisper white and all other card stock is from my paper stash.  I used Doodlecharms for the basket, cut at 3", the pretty flowers are from Mother's Day Bouquet, cut at 3.4" and the butterflies are from Create a Critter, also cut at 3.4".  The sentiment was computer generated.  And for the final touch, I adhered two pink bows to the basket.
