a fun scene with these playful kitties!

 

I used Newton's Nook Designs:

* Spring Heights stamps & dies

Stamping Sensations: Nature

On Vacation!

Hi!

Happy Friday!

I thought I'd share with you a card I made for my daughter's 

upcoming AMAZING trip.

She was my inspiration for this lively silhouette card :)

 

I started with a gorgeous paper from the Rainbow 6 x 6 paper pack

and trimmed it with my paper trimmer.

I used Build-An-Island die set to create the silhouette die cut island

and popped it onto the front of the card.

And finally, I added a sentiment from the Cat stamp set

with white embossing.  

Here's one final look and

 I'll be CHEERSing a margarita for ya! ;)

Inky Paws Challenge - Week 2

Happy Monday!

It's Week 2 of the Inky Paws Challenge blog

and it's a FUN photo inspo with bright fun colors:

Use the colors 

Magenta, Turquoise, Purple, and Bright Yellow!

 To create this fun card,

I started with Newton's Nook Designs heart dies.

I love how versatile these are for ALL YEAR LONG!

I took scraps cardstock fro my stash in the 4 challenge colors

and my paper trimmer and just cut them in random fashion

and then layered them like a puzzle until I found a design I liked.

I added it to a layer of vellum .... I know, it looks grey!  It's not :)

That layer is framed by the Basic Frames die set

and the white & black cardstocks are trimmed with the same trimmer.

Lastly, the sentiment!

It's from the new Party On! stamp set from the Retro Collection ~

totally rad!

You can link up your cards here and the challenge rules are here!

Have a great start to your week ;)

You are SUNSHINE!

 

Hi friends!

Today's card is one for the You Are Sunshine IG card group 

where we create cards based on sending someone a card 

with an uplifting message.

So HI! :)

My card is bright and cheerful and already in the mail!

This year, as part of my 59 in 59,

one of the them is to mail 

- and document just for my own eyeballs -

59 cards!

The floral stamp and die is from Taylored Expressions

and I paper pieced it for a bold focal point.

The papers are from Recollections from Michaels.

3M: Lovely Day!

 Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing a card for the 3M (3 Musketeers)

mystery card sharing!

The idea:  My sweet friend Jeanette had an idea

to stamp the SAME mystery image and SEND it to 3 (musketeers) friends

and we SEE what we come up with!

We take turns in a rotating fashion

and she is the hostess this month, sending us

 Lovely Day by Penny Black.

So super duper cute!

I'm not happy at all with my card and

 it. is. what. it. is.

Too many irons in the fire, as they say!

I find myself lacking mojo by needing to be in 50 places

at the same time & I gave it my best Girl Scout Effort :)

Be sure to head over to Jeanette and Barb,

they did a stand up job on their cards, I'm sure!

Thanks for stopping by!
