MSS Color Cue #2

Hi, there! So nice of you to stop by for a visit today! Hope you are all doing well! I'm here today to share a card I made for the latest Color Cue challenge over at the Market Street Stamps blog! Here's the challenge:

Ooh.... love this color combo! Here's the card I made:

Love the colors- so perfect for spring! I started with a sheet of Summer Sunrise cardstock and stamped MSS Lost Garden with Fresh Snow ink. Then, I did some die cutting. Here I used Turning A New Leaf, Doily Details A, and Fillable Frames #7 dies (all from Papertrey Ink). Love these dies and I've been a little die-crazy lately! You can't blame me!

The birdy is from MSS Follow Your Heart and is paper pieced with a sheet from the Echo Park collection A Walk in the Park- beautiful paper! Finished it off with a sentiment from PTI's Birthday Bash Sentiments.

I'm also linking this card to the Wee Memories challenge this week! It's all about paper piecing- check it out! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I have one more thing to share- if you haven't already checked it out, I'm hosting a contest with Market Street Stamps called "Cream of the Crop!" All you have to do to participate is share your projects using Market Street Stamps- it's super easy!! Click the "Cream of the Crop" blinkie on my right sidebar for more information!!

Butterfly Note Card

Hey! I'm here today with another card featuring patterned paper for the challenge at Wee Memories! You have until Friday to play along- so go check it out!

Here's my card:

This is a cute little note card with a couple of my favorite things: Ocean Tides cardstock, Library Ledger Patterned Paper, and my new Martha Stewart butterfly punches. I also used some In Bloom Patterned Paper for the butterflies. Love it!

Short and sweet today- hope you like it!

Very first Christmas card of the season!

Hey, everyone! I'm here today with my very first Christmas card of the season! I know.... I'm such a lazy papercrafter, I have really been putting it off..... I made a lot of Christmas cards last year! LOL! Anyway, I'm making a commitment to make more Christmas cards- no more procrastination! Here's the card:

For this card- I pulled out my new Vintage Ornament Dies, Distressed Dots Patterned Paper, and some Vintage Cream Felt. Very simple... just the way I like my holiday cards! I'm entering this card into the challenge over at Caardvarks, which is to use holiday die cuts! FUN! I'm also entering it into the challenge at Wee Memories, which is to dust off that patterned paper! Super fun challenge for those like me that almost NEVER touch the piles of patterned paper they're hoarding (and by hoarding I mean saving for something very special.... hehe...). 

Thanks for taking a look today!

FYI: If you're interested in the recipe for the yummy pumpkin cream cheese swirl pie from my previous post, it has been added to the bottom of the post! Just scroll on down!

Happy Birthday Banner!

Hey, everyone! Thanks for stopping by today! I'm here with a cute little birthday card using PTI's Fly Away set. I'm entering it in the challenge over at Wee Memories- take a look! You still have a little bit of time to play along if you want!

Here's my card:

For this cutey I used one of my favorite color combos: pure poppy, spring rain, white, and black. I stamped the background grid pattern with the Library Ledger grid stamp. Then, I stamped the solid plane from Fly Away with Pure Poppy ink and cut it out. The sentiment and banner were stamped in black and adhered with foam tape. Finished it off with a simple knot with black satin ribbon.

So... I'm trying to get my Papertrey order together for release night and I'm sooooo sooooo excited about the In Bloom dies! I use In Bloom a lot and this will be an awesome tool for me! What are you excited about this release? YAY for money to spend on PTI, right!?

Thanks for popping in! Have a great day!

Birthday Bash!

Hey! I'm here today with a fun little card for the Wee Memories Challenge #30! This week they are celebrating their blog birthday over there and I am very happy to play along! I had a lot of fun playing around with some ribbon to make this card!

Here it is:

I used the very cute Library Ledger Patterned Paper and Vitage Cream cardstock for this card. The flower embellishment was made by adhering together a bunch of small circles, which was then cut with my 1 3/4" circle punch. Then, I looped around some vintage cream and aqua mist ribbons as well as some rustic jute button twine. I masked off an area to create a flower stem and stamped the stem with BB: Woodgrain. The leaf is hand cut. I love the look of this card- very FUN!

FYI: this card is available for purchase in my ETSY SHOP!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fill this day with joy...

Hi, everyone! Just stopping by tonight to say "hey" and show you this card. I made it for the CARDS publication call, but I never got around to submitting it... lol! Oh well, more to post here on the blog-o! I'm also submitting this one to Wee Memories for the "Free For All" challenge.

This one uses Hero Arts Butterfly Field cling stamp with Papertrey Ink Aqua Mist ink. I also used the Papertrey Ink medium scallop die on this one- I love that die! So great! A few touches of Plum Pudding and the card is complete! Thanks for taking a look!

P.S. Sorry for the dark picture- I hate taking photos at night... boo..

This card is available for purchase in my ETSY SHOP!

Trying some challenges on for size...

Hey! I'm back today with a card for a couple of challenges! I recently made the decision to more actively create and blog- and this is one of the ways I'm doing it. I'm going to start participating in a lot more of these over the next couple weeks so watch out for some more regular updates over here! YAY! So... on to today's card, shall we...


Today I am participating in the challenge over at Caardvarks where the challenge is to create a card both inside and out! I had to whip up a card for my brother-in-laws birthday so I went ahead and made his card to meet this challenge. This card also meets the challenge over at Wee Memories. This week is a "Free for all" week- so anything goes! Make sure to check out these fun challenges and play along!

Here's the card:

The card is made primarily with Papertrey Ink products. First I stamped BB: Woodgrain with Momento London Fog ink and cut a strip to use as a accent piece on the front of the card. Then, I used Fillable Frames #4 and Mega Mixed Messages to create the focal image which is heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.

And I added some strips of the same woodgrain stamped paper to the inside of the card to bring it all together.

Thanks for taking a look today!
