Daffodil Celebration

 


I so loved the simplicity of Connie Babbert's card! Such a lovely card and the beauty of the white on white background too. I chose to change the background to make it my own along with a different sentiment.  Thanks Connie for your inspiration!

Calming Seashells

 


I saw this card on Pinterest and just fell in love with the color combination! I don't have a name, so if this is your... please let me know. Thanks so much for your lovely card and inspiration! I did change a few things to make the card my own.

I used Wink of Stella on some of the shells to make them shine and I used Glitter Exopy Shapes to make it feel like underwater! The Epoxy Shapes are old, so they did turn a bit yellow while in storage.

Thanks for taking a peek!

St Patty Day 2024

 


For my littlest nieces, I made them a St.Patrick's Day card. I really liked the background I made a year ago.... so I used that again for this year's card. 
This time, I just added a tag from the 'Bonanza' dies and made my own sentiment with My Memories Suite using the Curlz MT font in green.

Thanks for checking in!

Gymnastics

 

Obviously, my niece just turned 5 years old! LOL! She's into dance and gymnastics as well as sports in the summer time. Her birthday party is geared toward gymnastics, so I made my card reflect that. 
I found the free clip art gymnastics girl online. Although, I would've loved one that had brown hair with a purple leotard... this is the best I could do!

Thanks for taking a look!

Stippled Happiness

 

For the happy couple (Kim and Jake) on their wedding shower day! So much LOVE and so excited to be celebrating them!
I used the new 'Stippled Roses' stamp and its coordinating dies for this card! I stamped the image in Gray Granite instead of Memento to give it a softer look. Then, I colored in the image using Stampin' Blends and added 'Wink of Stella' to the petals to make them shine.

Sip For You

 


My niece is turning 21! Wow! The more and more nieces and nephews turn 21... it's starting to make me feel old. LOL! Luckily... I still have nieces that are 5 and 2, so I don't have to really FEEL old until THEY turn 21! LOL!
I used several different stamp sets for the glasses... Martini glass from 'Sip Sip Hooray', Brandy sniffer from 'Brewed For You', Whiskey glass from 'Whiskey Business' and the cocktail glass from 'Nothing's Better Than'. I used a Wink of Stella to make the liquid in each glass shine!

More Sweets

 

I really liked what Julianne Richard's did using the 'Sweet Conversations' stamp set. Now, I'm not sure what she used to get the tic-tac-toe grid, but I used the solid side of one of the stamps within the 'Jars of Flowers' stamp (the opposite side to the straw).

I changed a few things to make the card my own, but the general idea was all Julianne's - Thanks for your inspiration! 

I used the Basic Black Stampin' Write marker on the sided of the 'Petals and More' die-cut piece (for the sentiment) to make it stand out more. I added a Wink of Stella to the hearts to make them shine.

Wild Abounds

 


At first, I didn't think there were many different variations of this stamp, but when I saw a card where the stamp looked through a window... I thought, sweet! I can use the stamp again! Which is great as my Aunt loves pandas!

So, I paired the 'Wildly Happy' panda stamp with the 'Happiness Abounds' sentiment stamp. I also used the 'Friendly Hello' Designer Series Paper (kinda looks like bamboo leaves - right! lol

Anyway, thanks for taking a closer look!
