I started out cutting a rectangle using Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies. Next I stamped the white rectangle with a stamp from Coffee Backgrounds. I stamped and cut a cup from the Coffee Break set along with the kraft color cup sleeve which I stamped with a greeting from Teeny Tag Greetings. I die cut the latte! from black foam using a die from All You Need Is Coffee set. The foil balloons and the black bow were cut from the Stitched Party Dies set. It was a manly card so the foil balloons were the only bling I added.</div>

For some reason this sketch made me think of water and fish...this is what I came up with!<br />

I tried to capture the sparkle in the Wink of Stella that is on the fish, wavy lines, coral and star. I started with water coloring water color paper that I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I colored it with Distress Inks, misted it and put some water drops on. Then I got to work cutting with lots of dies and stamping the fish. I love the bright colors.

<br />
I started out with a white card base and then cut a kraft color paper with the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More. Next I embossed the kraft card with the Classic Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder that makes me think of a basket weave. I cut a window for my sentiment from some Hawaiian Shores color card stock from PTI. For the berries I used the strawberry from All Around Goodies stamp set and colored them in with Crayola Markers with some Wink of Stella on top. The leaf is from Stitched Leaves Dies. The thanks is from the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More, to which I added some Wink of Stella. The sentiment was a combination of stamping. "You're So Sweet" was from Light The Candles set and the "Berry" was made using the Alpha Pack stamp set. Maybe I should have used a nest of threads behind the berries, or a twine bow or maybe some sequins...I might have to add something later. I had fun with the berry theme in the challenge! Here is a list of products used.<br />

I have been wanting to use the Bokeh technique after seeing so many beautiful cards made by the design team at My Creative Time. I used water colors in purple, yellow and orange. After letting it dry I used Stampin' Up Whisper White Pigment Ink and a circle stencil I made using MCT dies to get the Bokeh look. I cut an oval in vellum and then cut the Happy B-Day in black fun foam. After the sentiment was in place I used Wink of Stella on it. I cut a border strip using the Fun Stitched Edges. The scallop edge looks like beads the way I cut it. I added some clear sequins.</div>

Here is a picture of the inside of the card. I used foil cardstock for the balloons and tied them with Sulky Holoshimmer. I also used the Fun Stitched Edges Scallop Die to make like a swag banner. I then used Celebrate Good Times and It's All About You stamp sets, and stamped the sentiments to finish the inside of the card. The following is a list of products I used.</div>

<br />
I made this card for my Sister who has had some bad luck and broke her wrist and that is why the cast is on the puppies right arm. The troubles for her continue as she will be having surgery on her wrist also next week. I thought the little puppy would help cheer her up as she loves dogs.<br />
<br />
I started my card with a stencil background of hearts that were from a stencil I made using the small hearts from Seasonal Greetings. I inked it up darker to lighter. I used a tag cut from Tag Dies using PTI Hawaiian Shores even though it looks green in the picture. I will list the products I used at the end of this post. I cute the puppy and cut the right leg in white for the cast. I cute the dog house and stamped the wood. I then cut a rectangle from scraps and circle to follow the sketch. I used many stamps for the circle and inside. I tied a bow using chocolate bakers twine before adding the sentiment circle and house. I hope my Sister gets a laugh from her card.<br />

I cut the window using Square Stitched Goody Dies and stamped the sentiment through the window using one of my favorites, It's All About You stamp set. I then stamped a pale yellow background using Peachy Keen Stamps Cat Background. I stamped, chalked and fussy cut the cat with a Peachy Keen Stamp Cool Cats set. I cut some balloons from Best Bots Forever and Stitched Party Dies, and stamped some using Watermark Resist ink and one in yellow.</span></span></div>

Oh My! The chalking glows in the picture but looks much softer in real life. The Purr-fect sentiment is from Peachy Keen Cool Cats. I chalked some brown around the cat to ground her some. I added gold thread to the balloons and tied it to the tail. I then added some clear sequins for a little bling. I was going for the colors in the photo and sketch...the blue balloon does match, but looks green in my photo. I had fun making my card. Here is a list of products used.</div>

I cut out two hearts from the Heart 2 Heart Love Frame Dies. It looks grey in the photo but the heart background is a tan with white hearts that was printed on my printer. The card base is Chocolate PTI paper. I cut the arrow from scraps of kraft and a pink stripe strip, from the 4X4 Journal Die + More die set. I cut the white frame using dies from Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set. I like how the card turned out but still think it needs something more. I had fun trying to come up with something a little different. Below is a list of products used.</div>

There is a fun challenge at My Creative Time and I had a good time playing along. I decided to go with using the sketch. It is Advent and the sketch reminded me of candles. I stamped the Grainy Wood Background with Ranger Watermark Resist, onto Paper Trey Ink Chocolate Paper, that had been die cut using Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More. I cut 4 of the Stitched Decorative Banners and colored them purple and pink using Distress Inks. Next, using the largest heart, I double cut the Stitched Heart Layering Dies, on yellow paper to make a flame shape. I inked them up with Distress Ink to give some color and dimension. I stamped the boughs from Boughs of Holly onto green paper to make the candles appear to be on an Advent Wreath. The banner was made using a stamp from A Day in December set. It is stamped using brown ink and cut to leave a white frame around the stamped shape. I added some Diamond Stickles to the boughs for a little sparkle. Here is a picture of what I came up with.</div>

I loved the colors in the sketch and went with them pretty much. I used the Happy Birthday embossing folder for the kraft background that was cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More. I used the Stitched Party Dies for some of the balloons and the circle and oval from Seasonal Greetings. I inked up the balloons for some dimension. I glued them down and attached black sewing thread for balloon strings. I cut two layers for the label in blue and white using the label layers from the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More. I also used the Celebrate die from that set. I stamped the sentiment from Celebrate Good Times and mounted the card front to a chocolate card base. I had fun making this card for the challenge. I hope you like it...thank you for stopping by.</div>

I always need a good thank you card ready to send out. I love the sentiment dies and thought it would be fun to use the thanks die from the Happy Thoughts stamp and die set. I cut the thanks from paint chips that I had from the True Value Store. I cut the S off of the last one to say thank and cut the you from the Picture Perfect stamp and die set. I glued the sentiment die cuts onto a scrap of black paper I had. I prepared a scrap of paper with some metal sticky tape from the hardware store...this comes on a large roll and is very sticky. I cut two Fun Stitched Edges from it to go on each side of the black paper. Thank you for dropping by and taking a look.</div>

I have been busy planning for a Bridal Shower I hosted. I made a bunch of envelopes for the shower invitations and as a gift for the Bride with Thank You cards, postage stamps and address labels. I found it was faster to make the envelopes by cutting the papers 3 at a time using my Rotary Cutter, Rotary Mat and Ruler. These items are usually used for cutting fabric but I often use them to accurately cut my papers instead of my paper trimmer. I was able to use 3 squares at a time in the Envelope Board.</div>

I found some bags with ties at a Party City store and filled them with Bliss, Hugs and Kisses. I looked for some fancy suckers but didn't have much luck. Then the thought hit me that pretzel sticks looked a lot like a tree trunk...more than a sucker stick...so pretzel rods is what I used. The party was last Saturday and I believe we all had a good time. I hope to have more time now to get caught up on yard work and cards. Thanks for taking a look.</div>

I started with some PTI paper and embossed it with D'vine Swirls. I cut the Trio Stitched Banners and used the medium size stamped with Congratulations from the Gift Card Sentiments set. I wrapped the card with Orange twine and cut a frame from the Stitched Mini Frame & Arrow Dies. I stamped the "On Your New Home" from the Home Sewn stamp set and I stamped the little house from the All Around Everything Accessories stamp set. I colored the house with color pencils. I cut flowers and leaves from the Flower Petal Dies and Stitched Leaves Dies. I added a silver circle for the flower center. I had fun playing with the colors in this challenge.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Today I am posting a card that I have made for the challenge. I started with a white card stock and inked up the sky and sand with the Build a Scripty & Watercolor Background using distress inks. I stamped the birds with the Lost At Sea stamps. The anchor and chain were cut with the new Anchor & Heart Dies. I then cut the "you are" from Speech Bubble Sentiments in black card stock and added the "my anchor" from the Hey Sailor! stamp set.</span><br />

Today I am posting a card that I made for the color challenge at My Creative Time. I was playing with water color paints and the Hexy Background stamp and got the idea it looked almost tie died. So I thought the card should say Far Out and to use the Label Font. After the card was done I was not sure I liked the card base color or should have layered a frame color around the watercolor or what color I should use. I guess I need to think on what would be better looking. Just not enough contrast around the water color.</div>

I really liked the box cards so many people have been making and thought it would be fun to make for my Mom. It was quite easy to put together and I found it was easier to decorate or stamp, the outside of the box first, before closing or adhering it into a box shape. This was so fun to make with lots of flowers from<br />
the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies from My Creative Time. I was hand delivering this one so I could put the Scallop & Stitched Circle up higher.<br />

I had a lot of fun playing with the flower die cuts, mixing and matching all of the shapes, sizes and cuts. I watched quite a few videos and found some measurements to use to make my card. I plan to make more of these box cards. So great you can fold these flat and mail them in an A2 envelope. Thank you for taking a look. I do hope you will give this type of card a try.<br />

There is still time to join in on this fun challenge.<br />
<br />
For my card I used the newly released Pretty Spring Wreaths stamp set and Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies. I also used the Fun Size Scallop Stitched Bow Die for the pretty bow. I was inspired by a card made by Miss Cheryl at <a href="http://dragonflydesigns58.blogspot.com/2014/05/springtime-wreath.html">http://dragonflydesigns58.blogspot.com/2014/05/springtime-wreath.html</a><br />
I just love the pretty sentiments in this stamp set. It has 3 wreaths that can stand alone or be decorated with many flowers, leaves and other add on stamps. It is such a fun set to use! The new Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies can be used to create a multitude of fun beautiful flowers and arrangements. Here is what I came up with.<br />

Baby Shower CardToday I just wanted to share a special card I made for my Niece who is expecting twins very soon. Today was her Babies Shower and the theme was Thing #1 and Thing #2 from Dr. Seuss. How fun was this to make a card using those two rascals? I thought it would be cute to use the Stork & Baby cutting file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and use the Things in a Dr. Seuss sort of way. On the inside I used a card idea I had seen that looks like 3-D baby blocks. I inked up the edges to make them look more block like. I stamped a number of cute small stamps from My Creative Time's (http://www.creativetimeforme.com/) All Around Everything Accessories. They fit the one inch blocks perfectly. The letters clouds and sentiments were also from My Creative Time. The sun, ball, bat and drink were from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons at http://prettypaperprettyribbons.blogspot.com/<br />

I used the Tarnished Brass Distress Stain to stamp the background on the Vintage Label and on the banner and Rolled Flower edges, for a gold look. I think lots of stain and little pressure would leave a better image with the stain. The dots and floral backgrounds were stamped with the watermark ink. I added the scallop circle halves to the label to bring some blue to that part of the card. The bow was supposed to go on the white strip but there was not enough contrast or time to make another bow. Just as I was needing to leave with the card I decided the white needed something so I stamped a Chevy stamp on it...I smudged it but no mistakes as Emma says so I put a heart over the area to hide the smudge...oh well, live and learn ;) After all is done I can see some changes and things I would add. I think Mom liked her card as it is. Thanks for looking!</div>

The front of my card is a bit of a joke for the person who will be getting this card. The sentiment was created on the Silhouette Cameo, printed and then cut with the Vintage Stitched Label Die from My Creative Time. The card was cut using the Surprise Pop-Out Card Die and decorated with a Happy Birthday embossing folder, the Flower Petal Dies, Stitched Leaves Die and Spring Chicken Background that was stamped with a watermark resist.<br />
