SSSC122 - Beautiful Butterflies Thinking of You

Hello!  I'm here today with my Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge card, I'm a day late but better late than never I say.  As much as I enjoyed it, I'm actually just happy to have made it through last week and the weekend.  Between my daughter's dance practices last week, two nights of dance recitals, birthday party/Father's Day BBQ and all of the cleaning, grocery shopping, birthday gift/Father's Day buying and all that comes with it I'm wiped out.  So that's my excuse as to why my cards late :)

For my card using Karen's sketch I used the SU Sizzix Beautiful Butterflies die, the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die and layered them together along with the retired stamp set Warmest Regards.  The card base is old olive card stock with a panel of poppy parade and Sunny Garden designer paper.   

To play along create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then go to Karen’s blog The Sweetest Thing and link your card so we can all see your creation!

TE June Key Ingredients Promotion

Hello everyone!  I'm back today to share a card that I created using the June Key Ingredients Kit and to share some exciting promotional news about subscribing to the KI monthly kit club.

This month's KI Kit is full of beautiful product, the Basic Grey Sweet Thread designer papers, the card stock, ribbons, brads and flowers are all so pretty and fun to work with.

For my card I used the TE stamp set Cozy Cottages to create a tent topper card.  The colors on this card are two of my favorite colors, the raspberry card stock with the chartreuse ribbon from the kit are such a great combination.  I used two of the patterns from the Sweet Thread designer papers and added rows of the Medium Scallop border die along with one of the little flowers with a brad in the center to the edge of my image.

CR84FN31 - Green Thumb

Hello there!  Today I have two cards that I've created using the colors from the CR84FN31 Color Challenge and the Papertrey Ink stamp set Green Thumb.  I was lucky enough that a few weeks back my Hope Your Day is Fabulous card was chosen as a winner for the Papertrey Ink Make-it Monday Challenge #12 and I got to pick a free stamp set and Green Thumb was my choice. 

For the above card I used the gardening boot image from the Green Thumb set along with the stems, flowers and sentiment.  I stamped, cut out and popped the center flower and added a small button, I also added a row of stitching, scallop border and some pink bakers twine.

For both cards I used an embossed panel of pretty in pink cardstock, crumb cake as a base and My Mind's Eye designer paper. 

The second card I used the pot image from the Green Thumb set and the flower, stem and die from the Flower Fusion #1 set.  I saw Maile's beautiful card combining these two sets and love it, so I thought I would give it a try.

Not to toot my own horn...but I was very excited to have my Teapot Thinking of You card chosen as one of the Terrific Top 3 from the CR84FN30 Color Challenge.
