I wasn't planning on submitting anything for today's challenge but I forgot I ordered some buttons from Stampin' Up! Since I received the buttons today, I thought I may as well go ahead and use them. I also had a few of the Top Note negatives, so I thought I should stop collecting them and just put them to some use. See http://365cards.blogspot.com for other entries.
Ingredients: Baja Breeze cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Kiwi Kiss cardstock, Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set, Pacific Pointe ink, Riding Hood Red ink, Congrats stamp set, Real Red grosgrain ribbon, Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon, Button Latte, Top Note die (for the negative or 'frame')
My best friend, the UPS man, visited today and delivered my new favorite stamp set, Cheep Talk! I started playing with the set immediately and below is the fruit of my 5-minute madness. I'm in love!
Ingredients: Kiwi Kiss cardstock, Cheep Talk stamp set, Pacific Point ribbon, Button Latte, Top Note Die, Pacific Point ink, Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper, Glorious Green ink, Close to Cocoa ink
So I've been watching the challenges on 365cards.blogspot.com, and today's challenge sparked my interest. I don't have any sun-related stamping items, but I do have some cheery saffron Designer Series Paper. I think the design on the paper is natural as well as freeing (is that a word?).
For this card, I used the Riding Hood Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Baa Breeze cardstock, Riding Hood Red cardstock and Bella Birds Designer Series Paper.
Easter is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the freshness of Spring, the bright colors and the hopefulness of warm weather.
Below is a card I made using scraps of cardstock and Designer Series Paper. The stamp is from a retired Stampin' Up! set I acquired some time ago. I just love it!
The following are 3x3 inch cards using the An Egg-cellent Easter wheel from the upcoming Occasions Mini catalog. Yes, I'm celebrating Easter a bit early!
It's hard for me to create projects outside my comfort zone. I'm not one to think outside the box. So I thought I'd start challenging myself a bit. Thankfully, I found some great ideas on http://365cards.blogspot.com. Below is what I came up with for the Day 11 challenge. I think it was a good one for me to start with since I like clean lines.
I used Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon, Parisian Breeze Specialty paper, Baja Breeze cardstock, Very Vanilla cardstock, Soft Subtles brads, Flower Fusion felt, the corner rounder and the Sweet Little Sentiments stamp set. You may not be able to tell from the picture but I doubled up on the ribbon since you could see the paper through the first layer.
I hope it's worthy.
Noo Noo, one of my fabulous friends in Texas, found out today that she and her husband, Robert, will be having a boy! After getting off the phone with her, I was inspired to make the following two cards. If you couldn't tell, I'm in baby mode right now. I know a number of people who are expecting their first child. I wonder if there's a special drink they know about and I don't? Margarita, perhaps?
For this card, I used Green Galore cardstock, Delicate Dots paper (from the Sale-a-Bration catalog), Certainly Celery ribbon (from the Sale-a-Bration catalog), Soft Subtles brads, Fun and Fast Notes stamp set and A New Little Someone stamp set.
For the card below, I used Certainly Celery cardstock, So Saffron ribbon (from the Sale-a-Bration catalog), Delicate Dots paper (from the Sale-a-Bration catalog), Pacific Point cardstock, Raspberry Tart DSP and Fun and Fast Notes stamp set.
