Hello there! It’s Wednesday and the last day of July, can you believe it? I’m sad that summer is going by so fast. Today I’m sharing my card for the new Color Throwdown Challengethat starts today with some bold colors and a fun inspiration photo. This is also the first card in a small card series I created using these colors and similar products.
For my card, I used the adorable new Hello Bluebird stamp set Strawberry Jam along with the coordinating Strawberry Jam dies. I stamped and colored all of my images using Copic markers and paper pieced the picnic blanket. I used some older Papertrey Ink pure poppy patterned paper for both the picnic blanket and for the card front. I used the Stitched Sentiment Strips dies and die cut a banner and stamped my sentiment. I adhered black card stock to my card front then attached the picnic blanket and accessories then added the mouse and bird with foam tape. After that I adhered the top piece, with the strawberry vine frame and red polka dot paper, with foam tape. The little green caterpillar was popped up with foam tape as well.

Hello and happy Wednesday! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challengeand we have some fun summer colors to create with.
With the challenge colors of orange, pink and yellow, I pulled out a stamp set I thought would work well which was the Lawn Fawn So Smooth stamp set and So Smooth dies. I stamped all of my images and colored them with Copic markers then die cut them out. The bunch of bananas I stamped from the Love Ya Bunches stamp set. I stamped my sentiment onto a banner that I die cut using the Everyday Sentiment Banners die. I die cut a piece of white card stock using the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables die and blended on some wild honey distress oxide ink in the middle and added some white splatters of craft paint. I used some Doodlebug Designs yellow and orange paper for along the top and bottom and adhered my stitched panel to a white card base. I popped up the blender and bananas using foam tape.

Hello! Today starts a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge were we have the colors gray, pink, silver and white to create with.
For my card, I used the Altenew stamp set Floral Fantasy along with the Floral Fantasy diesto create a birthday card. I used a white card base then added a strip of silver metallic card stock and then a scrap piece of charcoal gray polka dot paper. I used the Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle dies to die cut a piece of white card stock and then used the Painted Greetingsstamp set for my sentiment. Next I stamped two roses and leaves from the Painted Flowersstamp set using the Altenew inks Pink Diamond and Rubellite. Once that was done, I die cut the large rose from the Floral Fantasy set and stamped it in Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite and Razzelberry, the Cherry Blossommini ink cubesand die cut and stamped the leaves in going gray. I added foam tape to adhere the large rose and also to the stitched rectangle which I adhered to my card base. I added some clear rhinestones and some wink of stella glitter pen for some bling.

Hello, hello! It’s Wednesday and time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! We have some perfect colors and a great inspiration photo to go along with it for our challenge this week. Before I get to my card, I’d like to welcome our talented guest designer for this month, Susie Moore.
For my card, I used the adorable new Hello Bluebird stamp set Field Mice along with the Field Mice dies to create a thinking of you card. I have so many ideas for making cards using the new sets I just received from Hello Bluebirds last release. For the strawberry vines and inch worm I used the new Strawberry Jam stamp set and Strawberry Jamdies. I stamped all of my images then colored them with Copic markers and then die cut them out. I altered the strawberry vines after coloring them by cutting sections apart so that I could create my own wreath surrounding the die cut oval I cut out. I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die to die cut a piece of white card stock and the strip of Doodlebug redgingham paperfor along the bottom. Then I used a banner that I die cut using the Everyday Sentiment Bannerdies for my sentiment. For the oval, I blended on some tumbled glass and mowed lawndistress inks.
