Hey There, Pumpkin

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the fun Harvest Hello Hellos Bundle

along with a some leaves from the Gathered Leaves Dies.

I had an idea to add some flowers to the pumpkins after seeing some home decor pumpkins with designs on them at a local store.

I went looking through my stamps to find something that would work and

found this cluster of flowers in the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I stamped the flowers first with Versmark onto some Pumpkin Pie card stock

and embossed them with white embossing powder. I did the same with the

pumpkin outline from the Harvest Hellos set, centering my flowers in the middle of the pumpkin.

I  used the matching punch to punch out my pretty decorative pumpkins.

I embossed the stem in white on Crumb Cake and the leaf in white on Old Olive card stock.

 

The base of my card is thick Whisper White and then I used another 

layer of thick white and embossed it with the Subtle EF.

I added another layer using Crumb Cake and it is embossed with the Subtle EF as well.

I then added my leaves and pumpkins. The leaves are glued directly to the Crumb Cake piece and the 

Pumpkins are added with dimensionals.

 I slipped a piece of Crumb Cake under the edge of the bottom pumpkin 

and added some Twine and a bow.

 

My sentiment is from the Harvest Hellos stamp set and is stamped onto some scrap white.

I then cut it apart and added it to my card with dimensionals,

This layer is added to the Thick Whisper White base with dimensionals. 

I added three pumpkin pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack to finish it up.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

More Beautiful Bouquet

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!

As I told you yesterday I have a couple of more cards to share that

uses the same layout just with different colors

I used Highland Heather for the Happy Anniversary card.

 

These were so fun to put together and super easy with all the die cuts.

The next one uses Pool Party ink and card stock.

 

Thanks a Bunch, such a fitting sentiment for the "bunch of flowers".

 

I finished all of the cards with some little basic pearls in the flower centers and 

on the sentiment piece.

Thanks for stopping by!

SUO...Happy Birthday

 

Hello Peeps!!

It is Tuesday which means another challenge at SUO Challenges.

This week is all about Dies and Die Cuts.

My card is loaded with Die Cuts. 

I used the super nice Rectangle Stitched Dies 

along with dies that cut out my flowers and stems and the

Stitched Nested Label dies for my sentiment.

I used he Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and stamped my flowers

with Lovely Lipstick ink.

My stems are die cut with Old Olive card stock.

 

I really liked how this card came out so much I made a couple

more using different colors and sentiments, I will show you those later this week.

It is simple and straightforward and easy enough to 

mass produce if needed.

 

I finished the card with a few basic pearls and a small lovely lipstick bow.

I hope you can join us this week and show off some of you dies with us.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello

 

Hello Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch his week at  

CAS(E) this Sketch!

I went looking through my stamp sets for a small image I could use.

I came upon this cute little flower in the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I pulled it out along with the leaf and matching dies.

I stamped the flowers using So Saffron in and the centers are stamped with Early Espresso.

The leaves are Pear Pizzazz ink.

 I die cut a rectangle using whisper white and the Rectangle Stitched Dies.

The flowers are added with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the To a Wild Rose stamp set.

I added the leaves in random order around the flowers.

I added the image panel to the base of So Saffron card stock with

dimensionals.

 

Another simple and easy to mail card.

Thank you for stopping by today!

I Couldn't Have Picked A Better Friend

 

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Time for a new challenge at SUO Challenges.

This week it is all about Spring.

Nothing says Spring more than flowers, and you know I love making flowery cards. 

I used the sketch this week at Fab Friday for my card.

I used the Pop of Petals stamp set for my flowers.

I stamped three of each color using Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo.

There is a matching punch with his set but after punching out a couple i ended up fussy cutting as the punch left to much of white around my flowers for the flowers I was creating.

 

I stamped the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink and cut them out as well.

My flowers are mounted to a piece of whisper white that I die cut with one of the stitched rectangle dies.

My sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I found a piece of the black and white gingham paper from the Butterfly gala pack in my scrap pile, I thought I had used it all. But after this card I only have a couple of tiny pieces left.

 

The flowers and the Sentiment piece are both added to the card with dimensionals.

I used a piece of Melon Mambo card stock for my banner piece. I die cut a piece of whisper white with a edge die from the Be Mine Stitched Dies to layer behind the Melon Mambo banner.

I fussy cut out a pretty little butterfly from the Butterfly Gala DSP and added it just under the flowers.

Be sure and head over to the SUO Challenges Blog, we would 

love to have you join us.

Thanks for coming by today.

Creative Challenge......Easter Treats

 

Happy Friday Peeps!

My friend Wendy at WeeBeeStampin4Fun and I

decided to resurrect our Creative Challenges.

I laid down the first challenge of Easter Treats.

When I sit down to work on my Easter Treat Challenge

I literally had NO ideas.

I remembered a few years back I had a pattern for a candy dispenser, but I could no longer find it, I suspect it died on my old laptop....lol!

So I went on a search for one and found this super easy tutorial 

and with a couple of modifications  I made mine.

I made four using Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight card stock.

I used the Gingham Gala DSP. to decorate each one.

 

I used the Fable Friends stamp set and stamped the precious little bunny 4 times onto thick whisper white card stock. I colored each one with ink to coordinate with the paper. 

I die cut the oval the bunny is mounted on from the Wonderful Floral Framelits.

 

I added the Easter Greeting sentiment at the top along with some ribbon looped through the lid.

I finished each with matching sticky sequins and a pearl.

Then when I was getting my candy to fill my dispensers I found the cute 

Ghiradelli Bunnies and Eggs.

So I whipped up these:

 

Pattern found  HERE.

I used the same Greeting on these from the Fable Friends and the grass image is from that set too.

The flowers and leaves come from the Beautiful Bunch stamp set.

Now head over to Wendy's Blog to see what wonderful Treats she whipped up!

Thanks for coming by!

Happy Anniversary

 

Hello Peeps!!!

 For my card today I am using this week's sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.

I am using the great Bloom by Bloom stamp set. I love these small flowers.

I stamped a few in Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick.

My leaf stamp is from the Beautiful Bouquet set.

I used Granny Apple Green for them.

 I used another stamp in the Bloom by Bloom set for the small Daffodil Delight dots.

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet set.

I stamped it with Black Memento Ink.

I had planned on making a single layer card but, as usual, I smeared a bit of ink while stamping my flowers so I trimmed down the panel and mated it with a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock.

I added this to a thick Whisper White base.

I finished with a few sequins from the Gingham Gala Sequins pack.

Thanks for coming by!

Vicki

Thanks a Bunch

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Popping in here quickly to share a card.

This one used the sketch his week at  Freshly Made Sketches.

I have to admit I struggled a bit with this one.

I made the bouquet of flowers easily, the rest was the struggle.

I used the Beautiful Bouquet set.

I stamped the several of the flowers in a variety of colors, Flirty Flamingo,

Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sky, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder.

The stems are die cut with Pear Pizzazz card stock.

 

I assembled the bouquet on a whisper white piece of card stock 

and matted with Crumb Cake card stock. 

I ended up keeping the background fairly simple and monochromatic.

The flowers are pretty busy and the monochromatic background seemed to be what I liked best.

 

The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped with Black Memento ink.

I die cut it with a circle die and added it to the card.

I finished up with some rhinestones.

Thank for stopping by.

With All My Heart

Happy Christmas Eve, Peeps!!!

Today I have a quick card share.

I made this card using the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

I wanted to do something besides Christmas.

So, I pulled out my Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

 

I stamped a few flowers using Real Red and die cut them out.

I decided o go with a black and white card and use my red flowers for a punch of color.

I stamped the leaves and stems with Pear Pizzazz  ink onto my whisper white oval. I added the flowers to the piece with some dimensionals.

 

The sentiment comes from the Nothing Sweeter stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thank you

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a Thank You card I made.

I love flower cards, as you all know, and I was in need of a thank you card so I decided on a fall themed one.

The flowers from the Beautiful Bouquet was stamped with Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie. The pumpkin pie flowers were stamped twice to acheive a darker color, closer to the DSP.

The base of the card is hick Whisper White and the DSP is from a retired pack called International Bazaar.
I die cut several leaves using the matching dies and tucked them in and around my flowers.

The sentiment comes from the Petal Palette stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today.

The Paper Players.....Thanks a Bunch

Happy Sunday Peeps!

I am back with another sketch challenge card. This one using the sketch this week at the The Paper Players.

I love layers, and this sketch was perfect for using lots of layers and some fun DSP. 

This DSP is from the retired Sweater Weather pack. 

The colors are perfect for a fall inspired card.

I used the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and matching dies. I die cut several of one of the flowers in this set and stamped with Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango.

I die cut a few leaves using old olive cardstock and tucked the in and around my flowers.

For the vertical element in the sketch, I used a bit of twine.

The sentiment is from the same Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I added  a  few candy dots to finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by!
