 Today's card ended up being harder than I anticipated even though there isn't much to complicate. LOL!

I used the Calming Camellia stamp set. It is a Disinktive stamp that came and went in 2022.  I'm not sure it was stamping correctly??  Maybe the ink pad was too juicy?? Maybe it was operator error?? 😅 Anyways, I used Pretty in Pink for my card base and enjoyed using the Scallop Contours dies. I colored the leaves using watercolor pencils and a blender pen...I think that is what hung me up. 😉

I played along with two challenges for this card. SUO Challenges #394 has this pretty inspiration photo. It's where the pink, white and flowers came in for my card.

The Retro Rubber Challenge #265 has a tic tac toe board.

I went with the diagonal of gems, your choice (watercolor pencils) and die cut.

The last two days have been absolutely beautiful here! We did a bike ride yesterday with our friends and today we had these two little ones! 

We visited their great grandma today (my mom). I realized the quilt they are on was made by my great grandma...their great great great grandma! That is so neat! I have loved this quilt since I was a wee one. So special! ❤

Happy Stamping!

Thinking of You

Well, it is still Monday and I am going to share this card with you before I call it a day!

I combined two challenges to make this card. The Paper Players #772 has a color challenge this week.

I combined these colors with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #668.

I embossed the little squares with the Timber EF. I cut my landscape pieces using the Scenic Adventure dies. The sentiment is from one in stash. I added a few gems and it all went on a Basic Beige mat and card base. 

Happy Stamping!

You're All Heart

 It's Fri-yay! I hope everyone had a fabulous week and have a wonderful weekend planned! Maybe a Super Bowl party?! Or just Super Bowl food?! I'm all for the food! Not so much the game.

Today's card isn't a turtle. I ran out of steam yesterday so I just made a rather quick and easy card.

I pulled out Modern Heart that's probably from 2019?? I used DSP from Unbounded Beauty and A Little Bit Festive. I added a few gold hearts but that one just looks dark to me. Hmmm. Lighting.

Anyways, I wanted to use the sketch from the Retro Rubber Challenge #264.

And the color challenge from The Color Hues Challenge #126.

That's it for me this week! 

Happy Stamping!

I Love You/Turtle-y Awesome #3

 This card made me laugh while I was assembling it.

This is going to be the hub's Valentine card. I was laughing because this is a caricature of us...the hubs isn't a big swimmer so you would find him with swim fins, mask, life preserver, etc. I get sunburned or bit by a bug and swell up, turn red, etc. pretty much every trip we take. It's hilarious! IYKYK! 

Again, I just used the DSP in this suite. The sentiment is from Bee My Valentine. I'm hoping it qualifies for the Paper Players Challenge #771.

Happy Stamping!

Time to Celebrate!

 Today's card is Turtle-y Awesome card #2!

For this Turtle-y Awesome card I used a Granny Apple Green card base. I embossed a piece of Garden Green with the Turtle Textures EF. I used more of the DSP, Turtle-y Cute. I used one of my brand new Party Banner dies! 🎉 The banjo playing turtle I fussy cut from the DSP. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays (retired).

I used the Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #677.

Yesterday we had  Sweet P.  We went from walking Jake to baking cupcakes.

Our little girl is growing up! So fun! ❤

Happy Stamping!

Turtle-y Awesome!

 I've been wanting to have a play with the Turtle-y Cute Suite. Today's card is the first of several I made. 🐢

I used the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch #549.

The Turtle-y Cute DSP did all the work! I fussy cut the trike riding turtle from the paper! The sentiment is from the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set. I used a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots to finish it! Easy peasy, makes me smile and I have another birthday card ready to send off!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Valentine's!

 Happy Monday and Happy February! New month, new week, oh my! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine flew by. I cleaned up from glamping and just did some general cleaning. It did rain a bit over the weekend but if it continues to stay warm the hubs is going to have to mow the lawn again! 😎😄

Today's card was just a quick and fun card I did to post on Unity's Show and Tell FB page.

They were using this sketch.

The penguin is from Unity's Warm Hugs. I obviously didn't use the suggested color combo because you know Crafty girls do what they want! 😅

That's it for me today!

Happy Stamping!
