three thirds

I've been on a Wplus9 kick lately. Just recently got all her new inks added to my collection and a few new stamp sets as well!!! So yesterday I pulled everything out and started creating! 

I was very intrigued with this months CAS-ual Friday challenge. Three things on 1/3 of a card front. So I started die cutting out the flowers and stamping away!! I'm very happy with this clean and simple creations!! Three flowers with a three word sentiment on 1/3 of the card seems to be complete!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

splatter fun

This week I finally had some time to make a couple cards! I watched Papertrey Inks Make it Monday video and was inspired!! I pulled out some colours and went to town!!! My first creation using this technique was this card below...

I grabbed some bright colours…On the make it monday video they used a die cut inlay. A technique I have not yet tried so I put it to good use! Love how it turned out!! So much fun to  make!

Supplies:
Paper: melon mambo, white
Ink: calyso coral, melon mambo, rose red
Stamps: wonderful words birthday mini
Accessories: birthday die, paint brush and water, sponge daubers



Next up I made this card….

This weeks Clean and Simple sketch screamed out to me! Love this layout…a go to for me! I decided to flip in on its side tho, still using the make it monday technique. However with the water droplets on this card I did at random by putting water on the brush and flicking it as opposed to being purposeful to where I was adding the water. This beautiful colour combo comes from this weeks Colour Me…!  challenge, they blended together so nicely (after a few tries of course)..The sentiment was heat embossed in white then I stamped the feather behind the three window boxes which goes along side the CAS-ual Friday challenge. Then I popped up the coloured paper to five some dimension. So many quick details to give it that pretty look!!! 

Supplies:

Paper: white

Ink: bermuda bay, coastal cabana, pacific point, tempting turquoise, versa mark

Stamps: fancy feathers

Accessories: white embossing powder, square punch, paint brush with water

Hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by!

beautiful goodbye!

Where to start….I must say I really like this card!! I went over to the CAS-ual Friday blog looked at the challenge and wasn't to sure what I should do. So I dug through my stamps and saw this flower one, one of my favs for sure, then I saw the sentiment that is with this set as well!! I knew it was meant to be. Was still lacking a little inspiration so I went on over to the Colour Me…! blog to see what their challenge was this week. After that this card came together beautifully! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

boy birthday fun

Some more playing around with new goodies I got yesterday! And I figured why not work it into a couple of challenges as well??? Not always so good on the masculine making card front! But I fell in love with these bicycles and thought they made the perfect little boy card!!

I used Seize the Birthdays sketch along with Cas-ual Fridays stamp on Designer paper to make this card come together!! I also have a hoarding problem....I'm sure I'm not the only one who does!! So I thought it was time to break open my SU hung up clips! So glad I did! Maybe it will encourage me to use some of the other cute ones I have in there too!!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by!! Hope you all have a great day!!
