Another ColourQ # 348

Popping in with a quick birthday card inspired by the ColourQ challenge this week. I used the fun banner from PTI Choose Joy to stamp within a stitched panel and matted it with Green Parakeet to make it pop against the dark blue.



Thanks for stopping by! Long weekend here because of Independence Day so excited to spend some time with my family. Have a good weekend too!

CAS(E) & ColourQ

Happy Wednesday! So happy I got some crafty time in today while the girls were at camp. Wanted to share a card I made inspired by this week's CAS(E) This Sketch and ColourQ challenges.





I'm building up my stash of Thank You cards. For my card I used a swirlie and butterfly from the Catherine Pooler Beautiful World collection. I added an extra butterfly from PTI Beautiful Butterflies, some enamel dots, and sentiment from PTI Thank You Kindly. 

Thanks for popping in! Have a great week.

CASology #204 - Row


It's Tuesday so its time for a new CASology challenge! First thing I thought of was the rowing machine at the gym which is one of my favorite exercise activities. LOL, that would be one stamp image that would NEVER exist. So I immediately thought of putting together a row of images.

I needed a thank you card pretty quickly this week as school was winding down so rather than stamping I adhered a row of three felt flowers from Prima that I had in my stash. Before doing that I dry embossed a small frame from Wonky Stitches in the middle of the card and placed my three flowers inside. Then it didn't seem like the flowers are just floating in the middle of the card. Super easy and simple. Sentiment is from PTI Thank You Kindly. 





Check out all the fun creations from the Design Team this week. I guarantee your head will be spinning with different things YOU can put in a row! Can't wait to see what you make in the gallery! 


and remember we have a new prize sponsor this week so be sure to stop by and check out their site. They have such cute stamps and stencils.

PTI June 2016 Blog Hop


Happy Saturday!! Exciting day of the month in the crafting world because its PTI Blog Hop day. Gorgeous inspiration photo this month - full of color and shape. 


For my card I layered a bunch of flowers PTI Mums the Word to mimic the layered jellyfish from the photo. Those ARE jellyfish right? I stamped the the bottom of the MFT Balloon Strings background stamp and added the mums in Plum Pudding, Enchanted Evening, Raspberry Fizz, and Tropical Teal to match the colors in the inspiration photo. What a gorgeous color combo! 



I added a die cut Thanks for Swoosh along the bottom and they skewed the plum pudding and stamped panel on top of an Enchanted Evening base. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations on the Hop! Always such different interpretations! Thanks for popping in!

CASology #203 - Congratulations

Happy Tuesday! June is a big month of many weddings and graduations. So its perfect time for our  challenge at CASology this week - 


For my card I used a fabulous set called A Girl and Her Shoes from this week's sponsor STAMPlorations to create a graduation card for a close family friend who LOVES shoes. 


I dry embossed part of the PTI Wine Bottle tag die onto the bottom of my card base. Within the embossed tag area, I stamped the silhouette of the shoe in PTI Soft Stone and the quote in PTI Smokey Shadow. Love this quote! 

I stamped the shoe again on the inside and the sentiment on top. 


So be sure to check out the rest of the DT's take on CONGRATULATIONS:

Can't wait to see what you come up with for CONGRATULATIONS this week and don't forget to keep it clean and simple with plenty of white space.

CASology #202 - Masculine


Happy Tuesday! There's a new challenge at CASology this week! This one is a good one - MASCULINE.   

For my masculine card, I wanted to use the GeoBuilders set from Catherine Pooler's Beautiful World collection in masculine colors of grey, black, and blues to create a graphic design. I stamped it on an angle on one side of the card in order to preserve white space and I finished it off with the sentiment on the bottom. 


So many ways to interpret this and make it your own. Check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with.

Inspired #18

So crazy busy this time of year with end of year school stuff and volunteer efforts! Wanted to post this card that I made for one of the teachers to go along with their thank you gift. I was inspired by the challenge at Inspired by All The Little Things this week - simply stunning. I love the dress and the bright flowers as a stark gorgeous contrast and wanted to create that with my card.

I used a stripe embossing plate for the background to mimic the dress. Bet that dress is flattering on anyone because of that design! I added in some die cut flowers from MFT Flashy Florals set. Sentiment MFT Thanks die cut from a scrap of My Mind's Eye patterned paper.





Gotta run to help out with my local library rummage sale! Have a great weekend!

....is Marilyn! Congrats!

Marilyn, I'll try to get in touch with you via your blog but if you see this, please leave me your address in the comments. I'll delete it off as soon as I receive it.

So now onto this week's challenge. Its June and the heat has finally arrived in NJ. Along with the heat comes an appropriate cue word for the CASology challenge this week - SUNSHINE.
There are so many design options for this word.
For my card this week, I used one of my favorite sets, PTI Snowflake Flurries to stamp a row of suns images along the bottom. I love this set because the images are supposed to be snowflakes but they are so versatile I've used them for so many different things, most often suns. Suns stamped in PTI Bright Buttercup, Harvest Gold, Lemon Tart, and Summer Sunrise. I kept the card CAS by keeping the sentiment and images on the bottom half of the card. Sentiment from Mama Elephant. 


Check out what the rest of design team came up with - you are sure to be inspired! 
Sponsor this week: Rubber Dance Art Stamps
and Guest Designer:  Diana

So hope you are inspired to create something related to SUNSHINE. Can't wait to see what you've come up with in the gallery!
