Unbounded Rose

 


Such a lovely card from Keisha Charles. I chose to create one of my own using the stamps that I had and the embossing folders too. I added a mat to the stamped image background too.

I used the sentiment and images from 'Cottage Rose' stamp set. The die cut piece for the sentiment is the 'Unbounded Love' dies set. I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Ice Skating Birthday

 

My niece is taking ice skating lessons and will have her birthday party at the ice skating rink. I didn't have a Stampin' Up stamp of a ice skates or an ice skater, so I went online and found this one on FreePik website. It's perfect for her! 
So, once I created it... I felt it needed more to the card, so I added the Melon Mambo ribbon detail.

Thanks for taking a look!

Layering Dinos

 


Oh so cute Dinosaurs! I forgot who created a similar card... she made a whole shelf worth of cards and bags. It was so lovely and colorful... I just knew I needed to create a card for my sister (my Twin). She loves dinosaurs!
I kept most things the same... just changed a few. the sentiment banner is fussy cut - not a die cut.

Wonderful Nature

 


I finally received my 'Spotlight On Nature' stamp set (it had been on backorder for so long)! I chose to re-create Karen Trelfa's card just with different colors and background embossing folder. Such a great card! Thanks Karen! I do wish the 'Spotlight on Nature' dies included one for the butterfly. I had to fussy cut it out.
I added a Wink of Stella to the petals and butterfly to make them shine.

Hello! I cannot take credit for the layout/design of my card as I based it on a card I saw on Pinterest. I forgot to save it to my files though. So, if this design is yours - thank you for your inspiration! Her card was blue... I just changed mine to use pink colors!

Changing Wonder

 



I really loved the 'Changing Leaves' stamp set on the dark background from Stampin' Up!, so I had to create one for myself for my brother-in-law.
I decided not to have a sprayed background and used the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder instead. I changed the sentiment for the one in 'Wildlife Wonder' stamp set.

Farm Season

 





I found this cute card made by Jeanna Bohanon on Pinterest. I knew I had to create one for my niece that was turning 3! 
I fussy cut all the barn animals... and cut around the 'hooves' so they could "carry" the sign! I also used a stylus to create a deeper indent/groove within the sentiment piece.
I used my computer to print off the sentiment as I wanted it to say "3rd".
