ColourQ #200


I always seem to be in need of Thank You cards so I made another one using this week's ColourQ palette. I'm loving these colors because its a subtle masculine combo. I raised the white panel with foam squares and I think it adds such a nice touch to the card. And of course, I had to throw some yummy enamel dots on the card to finish it off.


Hope you are having a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Paper: PTI Enchanted Evening, Neenah White
Stamps: PTI Thanks All Ways & Round Repeats
Ink: Colorbox French Blue, Momento Nautical Blue, PTI Harvest Gold, & PTI Ripe Avocado
Other: My Minds Eye Sweetest Thing enamel dots

Speechless Again


The Speechless challenge at One Layer Wednesday has gotten me thinking....and I just had to make another card! I was trying to come up with ways to add interest without bulk. So my card features an embossed frame around my stamped image. I also used a touch of stickles for the champagne glasses and floating bubbles. I love the effect of both - simple and elegant. Again, hoping the message is coming through without words!


As always, thanks for taking a peek.

Supplies:
Paper: Neenah White
Stamp: AMuse Bubbly
Other: PTI Fillable Frames #10, Stickles



Happy 200 ColourQ!


Its challenge #200 at ColourQ, one of my favorite weekly challenges! Congrats and thanks to the ColourQ team for providing us with great inspiration every week.

When I saw these colors I immediately thought of using Perfect Pearl powders I just got. Hoping you see all the subtle shimmer of the powders of this card in these photos. So much prettier in real life.

I'm playing along with One Layer Wednesday this week and the theme is SPEECHLESS. That means no sentiments, in essence completely speechless plus the added challenge of no layers. Seems easy huh? Hmmm, not so much. It was pretty hard create something that conveys a message completely without any words.

Here's my first card where I created a little scene which I hope conveys a 'have a great summer', 'have a great vacation' or maybe even 'relax'


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:
Paper: Neenah White
Stamps: PTI Snowflake Flurries, Flipping Out, Buttons & Bits, and Watercolor Wonder
Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold, Classic Kraft, and Hawaiian Shore

Counselor Thank Yous


Just starting to make my thank you cards for my girl's summer camp counselors. Have to make about 12 of them in the next two weeks. Probably easier to make them all the same but what fun is that? Here's the first one I made using the bonus colors this week a Summer Card Camp 2 which screamed summer to me. The counselors are all high school & college age so the images from Papertrey's Live Life Love seemed perfect. This die cuts notches for the gift card I am including and the back is blank for my daughters to write a short thank you note. I will use this die for them all and probably just change up the colors & design a little bit.

Dynamic Duos #63

Think I'll be trying this challenge every week! Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
Paper: Memory Box Kraft, Neenah White, PTI Spring Moss
Ink: PTI New Leaf, Classic Kraft, & Spring Moss
Stamps: Sentiment from Hero Arts Everyday Sentiments, Floral/Leaf images from unknown old set in my stash but so glad I finally got to use it!

Play Date Cafe #192



Seems like neon is all the rage with the kids lately so I was inspired to make a card using a little neon yellow-green as part of the Play Date Cafe challenge this week. I'm also playing along at CAS-ual Fridays challenge "Count Me In". This card is perfect for my daughter's friend's birthday coming up.

Love These Triangles!

I am loving this triangle trend going on and had to put my Papertrey Ink Tiny Triangle set to use once again!
