Just a Note

Hi. I'm quickly popping in with a card to add to CAS Colours & Sketches: Challenge #163.

This was a color challenge using these colors-

I just received an order today from Uniko and this was the free stamp set included in my order. Thank you, Bev! I used Ranger Classic Cherry  ink for the flower and 2 shades of distress ink for the stem and sentiment; Mowed Lawn and Cracked Pistachio. The panel was die cut with SSS Stitched Rectangles and adhered to a card base.

That's all for tonight. It's been a busy week and it's only Tuesday. Tomorrow is supposed to be around 65 degrees here (finally!) and I'm planning a trip to the zoo. Hope you have a great day! Enjoy!

You're My Lucky Charm

Today I have another card for St. Patrick's Day. Can you tell I love this day?

I made this for the Fusion: Lucky Days challenge. I created fusion by incorporating both the photo inspiration and the sketch.

Once again, I used my Verve Lucky You set. I love the images and sentiments in this set. I stamped the shamrocks and the sentiment with Ranger Electric Lime ink. The panel was die cut with my go-to SSS Stitched Rectangles and added to lime green card stock. I love how this turned out!

I am also adding this into the Curtain Call: Key Lime challenge and as my second entry into the new Double D Challenges: Feeling Green. 

I hope you have a lovely week! Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hello. I'm popping in with my first St. Patrick's Day card of the year. Here in Syracuse, NY our annual St. Patrick's Day parade will be held this coming Saturday. Yes, my Irish Princess will be dancing down the road. Can't wait!

For this card I've followed the sketch for the current challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #226. The striped pp is from the Authentique Charmed collection. The shamrock was die cut from a Memory Box die and the sentiment is from the Verve Lucky You stamp set.

I am also entering this into the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More #183 - Holiday and the new Double D Challenges: Feeling 'Green'.

Have a wonderful week. Enjoy!

CASology #187 - Spin

Happy Saturday! I have a busy day ahead of me, but I want to pop in, say hello and add a new card to the CASology: Week 187 - Spin challenge.

Would you believe I bought this stamp about 3 years ago and have never used it? Of course, you believe it, because you have some lots of those, too, don't you? This stamp is from Unity and because the globe spins - perfect!

I stamped the globe and sentiment that comes with it and colored with some colored pencils. It was die cut with SSS Stitched Rectangles and adhered flat to a card base.

I'm off to Nerium Regionals training today and a birthday party tonight. I'll be spinning myself by the end of the day. I hope you have a great day! Enjoy!

HB2U

Hello, again. I have another card for some challenges. I made this for my Irish Princess's brother who is turning 12 today.

I die cut the largest balloon from SSS Balloons Dies and trimmed it to fit at the top of the card. The pattern papers are from an older collection by American Crafts. To die cut the number balloons I used Avery Elle Number Balloons Dies. Twine form my stash was used to tie the balloons together. My NBUS sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays The Whole Shebang stamp set that just arrived in the mail yesterday. I am totally in love with that awesome set! 

I am entering this into the following challenges:

     Just Add Ink Challenge #301 - Just Add Numbers

     Pixie's Snippets Playground Week #218

     Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes 

     Darnell's NBUS Challenge #6

The weekend is finally here. Enjoy!

Miss You

Hello. Today I have a quick card to add to the CAS on Sunday Challenge #77 - One Layer Wonder.

This card is very CAS. I inked up Uniko English Country Garden Butterflies in pink and 2 blues and added them to a card base as if they are fluttering away. Hence the sentiment, which is from the Sweet 'n Sassy Keep in Touch, Too stamp set.

Edited: I will also be adding this to the Uniko Challenge #29 , which is a color challenge

That's all for me right now. I have a busy Friday ahead of me. Hope yours is great. Enjoy!

It's March!

Wow! It's March already! I don't know where the time is going, do you? I've been retired for a little over 2 months and still haven't found time to unpack what I brought home from school. I think I need to do that soon.

This card is for the Less is More challenge and this week was add some wire. I used some distress inks over a Dreamweaver stencil and added blue around it. For the tail I adhered a twisted piece of wire. The SSS sentiment was embossed in black. I'm only a bit ok with this card, although I do love the butterfly. I'll play with that again soon.

I am also entering this into CAS(E) this Sketch #161. 

That's all for today. I hope your week is going well. Enjoy!
