Dreamer

I just got a small haul in from Butterfly Reflections Ink and I had to use the new Pink Paislee Hello Sunshine stamp/die set.  It's awesome the die is included with the stamp set and I love how there is a space built right in on the front.  :)


For my card, I followed the sketch for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  It's fairly simple and allows you to display beautiful pattern paper.

I am using paper from the Pink Paislee Hello Sunshine 6x6 Paper Pad.  I diecut two full umbrellas and two umbrella tops from different papers.  Then I trimmed the pole parts and adhered them to the bases.  I only used one on my card, so I put the extra one in the back on my stamp package for  future use.  I rounded the corners using my WRMK Corner Chomper and stamped my sentiment using VersaFine Crimson Red.  Love this card!  Thanks for the challenge!

Xmas All Year - Happy Holidays

Yay, Christmas Cards again...bringing my total number so far this year to 9.  I think I'll have enough by the time the holidays roll around again.  :) 

Both cards I made using Basic Grey Jovial paper and embellishments from the Nordic collection.  I used Simon cardstock for the base.  

The first card is for Retro Sketches.  

The joyful piece is a chipboard accent.  I love the blue and white with red.  The wood ornament was sent to me from a friend.  I just put some tape runner adhesive behind it so can be removed and used again on a present etc.  I added some gold AC glitter ribbon for a bit of sparkle.  

The second card was made for a Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  The sketch is vertical, but I decided to turn it on it's side.  I still think it fits. 

I used a rub-on with all the presents for the horizontal piece (BG Nordic), so I figured I needed to add a vertical tree to go with it.  I did some stamping and embossing with stamps from Prima North County for the trees (it's actually only one stamp dono three times) and the sentiment.  Lindy's Embossing Powder in Candy Cane Red Gold is perfect for holiday cards.  I also added some tinsel string in gold.  I just love the Christmas flower paper from the Jovial collection and very happy I didn't have to cover it up. :)  

Thanks for the challenges!
