Have a Magical Day!

 Okay, fine. I might have had a little bit of fun creating this card! 😊

I had rainbow colors on my mind from this week's Paper Players challenge and I was bummed I didn't get to play along with their challenge of Mythical Creatures last week. But it's never to late to create and I put things together and created this card for today.

My card base is the lovely Orchid Oasis (retired).  I used a Lawn Fawn star stencil and a rainbow of colors to create the background on a piece of Highland Heather two-tone cardstock.  I created the rainbow with the Stitched Rainbow dies (Lawn Fawn?). The unicorns and fairies are from Lawn Fawn's Unicorn Picnic along with the 'magical day' sentiment. The 'you are so awesome' sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Simply Celebrate Critters (which I'm excited to use this set again!).

Those fairies are tiny but the fairy wand is tinier and almost had me beat! I'm not sure you can even see the wand! 😂 It's there though!

So I'm playing along with the Paper Players again today! 

I hope you all have a Magical Day! 

Happy Stamping!

 Here's today's card:

I'm playing along with the SUO Challenge #396.

My card base is Lost Lagoon. I embossed a piece of Coastal Cabana two-tone cardstock using the Eyelet EF and used it for a mat. I used the Country Woods DSP for the circles and the deckled rectangle. The focal image and sentiment are from the Country Flowers stamp set.

It really wasn't an easy sketch. I kept second guessing my choices. I don't like when I do that...

I have a couple little chores to do today but I'm hoping for some uninterrupted crafting time! 

Happy Stamping!

You Warm my Heart

 Happy Monday! 🎉 I'm looking forward to a day of cleaning 😂 and catching up! But first a card!

I had to have a go with The Paper Players color challenge this week. They are looking for the colors of the rainbow!

I have been wanting to give this card a try for some time. I do believe this is my first slimline card ever. Not sure why I waited so long to do a slimline...easy peasy and it gives me more space to create! These are the colors I used: Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Shy Shamrock, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Highland Heather. I stamped the cup image from More than Autumn in each color onto coordinating cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut the cups out and cut a heart in each color using the die from the same set. The sentiment is from Warmest Heart and is stamped in Starry Sky.

The problem I have now is that I don't know how to photograph a slimline card. 😕

Make it a great Monday!

Happy Stamping!

Love Life

 Well, hello there Crafty Friends! I was unintentionally MIA last week. The week started out great...on Monday we biked the Banks Vernonia trail with our friends. We had a fantastic day. It was so fun. It is a 42 mile round trip ride. We all have e-bikes but we still had a great workout. From there it was something every day...and I never did catch up with myself or have enough time or energy for crafting. So, I'm jumping on this afternoon with a card I completed using the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch.

I just recently got the Square Snippets DSP. I like it and think it will be fun for scrapbooking also.  The Joyful Squares bundle wasn't available at the time 😑 and I'm not sure I even need it...anyways, I was happy to get a card completed and posted today! 

I have to share one photo of our Little Big Guy! He is six months now!

Happy Stamping!

Relax

 Happy Fri-yay! Here's today's card:

I wanted to play along with this month's challenge over at Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #249. They have a fun sketch.

I used some cute paper from NND A Dog's Life Paper Pad. I stamped a cute kitty from Newton's Book Club stamp set and colored it in and added a sentiment from the same set.

It's going to be a full day! We have two of our little grandbabies today!

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Dino

 Here's today's card:

 
I had to pull out Darling Dinos and use this cute little dino that I had already colored! I added the Flowering Zinnias DSP to make a fun and festive birthday card. I used a sentiment from More Messages. I really like the More Messages bundle for sentiments. I stamp and cut them out in various colors and have them handy on my desk to pop on a card. I just checked and they are no longer available on the SU! website.  I finished my card with a few Holographic dots.

I used the Paper Players sketch #774. Isn't this a fun one!

I had a lot of odds and ends to clean up in the studio yesterday. I didn't get everything done of course. Mainly because the sun came out and we had to go ride our bikes! I saw these daffodils just blooming away on the side of the road.

And we saw the herd of elk! You'll probably have to zoom in to see! 😅

What a gift! 

Happy Stamping!

Good Things

 Here's today's card:

I have had this panel of DSP and this little bird in my stash for a long time. I don't remember the name of this DSP but remember the birds you could fussy cut from it?? I think this is all I have left of it because I don't see it in my stash. So, today I added it to a Pecan Pie card base, popped up the bird on a couple circles with some Fresh Freesia seam binding behind it. I added a sentiment from Banner Sayings and used the Three Banner punch on it. I added a few sequins from my stash.

I used the sketch at Just Add Ink #779.

Happy Stamping!
