Birthday Celebration

Hey there.  So second to the last card for the MIM #64 color challenge and a shout out to CAS-ual Fridays Birthday Celebration!  Below was my color palette and a birthday card was in order for CAS Fridays blog.

Funny after all these years of stamping and I am talking about over ten years.  I am just finding my style.  I love so many different styles but my heart is in the simple.  So with that said I used 2 stamps the stitching is so old I don't even know where it came from but the greeting is a Think Big Favorites from PTI.  Cardstock is basic white also PTI.

See you all later for one more color challenge,

Playing with Frames

Hi ya!  So this would be color challenge number six at the Papertrey Make-it-Monday challenge.  When I looked at this color palette I thought fun, springy and whimsical.

For my card I started with PTI white cardstock and die cut the frame out.  Then stamped the Framed-Out 1 and 2 sets all over the card.  I also used the Green Thumb set to fill in some of the frames.  Popped up the front with some foam tape to give dimension and added the button and ribbon for a little detail.

Two more color ways to go...thanks for stopping by!

New Day, New MIM #64

Hello!  Happy Friday to you all.  Thanks for stopping by and viewing my quest for all eight challenge cards.  I won't lie to you some of these colors are just not grabbing me tight.  This was one of the ones that I had a hard time putting together.  So to soften the stamping up a bit I put cardstock weight vellum over the front of the card.

I started with a white PTI base card and die cut the "thanks" from the card and the vellum at the same time so it would line up perfectly.  The bars that are stamped across the card is from the Happy Day stamp set (PTI).  Smokey Shadow cardstock backed the window created by the die cutting.  Now if the card looks kind of familiar...

the idea came from the card below by Laura Bassen. 

Loved her card with the bright fun washi tapes.

 

So off to stamp a while then better get some cleaning done.

Thanks again,

Sentimentally Sue.

Craft's Meow and MIM #64

Good evening!  Last one for tonight.  This was an very interesting color combo for me.

Cardstock is all PTI, stamps are from PTI, Hero Arts

 and Martha Stewart and ink is PTI.

I liked the sketch and did stray a little.  Call it artistic licence.

Good night!

Retro Sketches #9 and MIM #64

So...this is the 3rd card in the MIM color challenge and my first

ever Retro Sketch challenge.

Simple one layer card on rustic cream cardstock.  Stamp sets used were Polka Dot Basics, Houndstooth Background and Flower Fusion #12 all from PTI.

The sketch was a fun one.

Thanks for stopping,

Make-it-Monday and CASE Study

Hi again.  Just thought I would let you know right now that I would and will try to do all the color ways for the MIM #64 challenge this week.  Just wouldn't feel right if I left one out, would it?  So this is #2.

For my card I used a white cardstock base (PTI) and just went down the list of colors and stamped each with the Round & Round set.  I think this was a anniversary set from PTI.  I then used the Smokey Shadow die cuts I had left over from the last card to make the "happy".  Lastly I stamped the birthday from

Tag-Its #10 in Smokey Shadow ink.

The layout was from the card below by Agnieszka Malyszek for the CASE Study #89 challenge.  I just decided to try a white version of the layout.

Thanks again for dropping by for a look see,

CASE Study #89 and MIM #64

 Hello.  Thanks for stopping by.  I wanted to play with a couple of challenges.  First I started with Papertrey's Color Challenge for my color pallete(photo below).

My cards below used a background paper that had Mellon Berry and a Fine Linen colored stripe to it.  I then took Lavender Moon ink and stamped a stripe over the background paper to round out the color pallete.  Base card is Smokey Shadow.  The birthday flag is Fine Linen cardstock and a Lavender Moon button to finish it off.

The beautiful card below was made by Agnieszka Malyszek.  The CASE study challenge was to use her card as our inspiration.

Off to play some more,

Sentimentally Sue.
