colourQ challenge #142

Its been a while since I crafted with all the goings on during the last weeks of school. Whew, glad that's all over now!

Here's a card I made for an upcoming birthday using the fabulous colors at ColourQ this week:



I used the Doodlebug slim swimming pool sunburst card as my base to showcase the banners from my new PTI Heart-2-Heart #5 set. I used PTI's Hawaiian Shores and Hibiscus Burse inks as well as Versamagic Ocean Depth and Brilliance Sunflower yellow. I love the scalloped edge on the card.



I used foam dots to add dimension to the pennants on the banner.


I stamped the sentiment from Think Big Favorites #15 several times on the inside of the tri-fold card.



Thanks for taking a peek!

Another colourQ #141

I'm loving the colours at ColourQ this week so I made another card using an older PTI set, Ribbon Tails. I thought the polka dotted blocks would look lovely together. The inks are Enchanted Evening, Simply Chartreuse, and Spring Rain. I used my Photo Finishers die with a Mega Mixed Messages sentiment to top it off. Love the embossed edges of the sentiment strip...its a nice change from the banner dies I have been using.

Thanks for taking a look! Have a great weekend!

Play Date Cafe #136

The colours at Play Date Cafe this week are perfect for Papertrey's Happy Hydrangea set. The colours remind me of the hydrangeas blooming right now in my back yard.





I used Papertrey's Royal Velvet, Plum Pudding, and Hawaiian Shores inks and cardstock. I tried to add interest with the Martha Stewart border punch.

ColourQ Challenge #141

Hello!

The colour challenge at ColourQ this week are a lovely blend of greens and blues, two of my favorite colors.



I thought this colour combination would be great for a fun card for my little nephew celebrating a special achievement at school -



Most of the supplies are from Papertrey Ink:Cardstock & Ink:Enchanted Evening,Spring Rain, and Simply Chartreuse. Stamps are from Just The Ticket. I used the PTI star die to cut the dark blue striped paper from Echo Park.

Thanks for taking a look!

Play Date Cafe #135 - Take 2

I challenged myself to make another card for this week's Play Date Cafe challenge that didn't use my beloved Mehndi Medallion set. Lol. Here's my take:



I die cut Fillable Frames #10 from the front panel of the card and stamped the sentiment on the inside. Butterflies are from PTI Beautiful Butterflies.



Here are Play Date Cafe's colors again:

Play Date Cafe #135

Seems like I can't stay away from my Mehndi Medallion set....

Here's a card I made using the color combination from Play Date Cafe this week. I used Papertrey Ink's Canyon Clay, Hawaiian Shores, and Enchanted Evening along with the All About You set for the sentiment.





And thanks to the wonderful ladies at Play Date Cafe who selected my card last week for honorable mention. I love playing along at the Cafe because your colors and cards are always so inspiring!

Happy Summer Card

I'm in a frenzy making end of the year teacher/thank you cards. Last year, I said I would do this all in advance but of course, it all escapes me until the week before I need them! Next year, I PROMISE to be ahead of the game. Someone hold me to this ok?!

Here's a card I made using the new PTI Flipping Out die. I didn't get the matching stamp set but it will definitely be in my cart the next time! I gathered some polka dotted scraps I had from my My Mind's Eye stash and use some polka dotted patterned paper from PTI in Aqua Mist. Polka dots in these colors just scream summer to me. Sentiment is from PTI Daily Designs Sentiments.



Playing along at CAS-ual Fridays this week where the challenge is to make a clean and simple card with polka dots -

Thanks again for stopping by! Hope you are having a great weekend!

Take 2 - colourQ challenge #140

Hi friends,

I am crazy about the color combination at colourQ this week so I decided to use it again for an end of year teacher card. Such happy, fun, bright colors!





I used PTI Simply Chartreuse and Pure Poppy again with VersaMagic Aegean Blue to stamp the hexagon pattern (from PTI Rosie Posie set). Sentiment from PTI Think Big Favorites #15 and topped it of with some green twine from The Twinery.

And just wanted to say thanks for all your great comments. I love hearing from you and they really make my day!

Thanks for popping in!
