Baby Shower Card

Hello again,
I'm so excited for my friend. She's expecting her first child, a boy, in July. I attended her baby shower yesterday and today's post shows the card I made for her shower. For the sketch I went to Friday Mashup #60. The challenge is to mashup the sketch and to make a card/ project for the special man in your life. Well, I used the sketch and while this card isn't for a man, isn't definitely for a boy.

Here's the sketch:













Here's my card:

Here are the details for the card:

CS: Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White
DSP: Nursery Nest
Stamp Set: Packed for Baby
Ink: Stampin' Write Markers (Bashful Blue, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy, Peach Parfait, Pretty in Pink, River Rock, Sahara Sand, So Saffron)
Embellishments: 1/8" Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon

Sweet Cake Birthday Card

Happy Saturday!

Today's birthday card is for my fellow blogger, Heather. Her birthday was last week and I gave her this card.

For the card design I went to Pals Paper Arts for PPA135 - A Sketch Challenge.

Here's the sketch:













And here's my card:

The details are:

CS: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Whisper White
DSP: Sweet Shop
Stamp Set: Sweet Cake

Enjoy the weekend,

Heather's back (FINALLY) with ... Stampin' Royalty Challenge #121

So I've been MIA but with the end of school approaching I promise to post more often!
The Stampin' Royalty Challenge this week is to create a project using monochromatic colours. So today, I'm sharing a monochormatic card that uses Blushing Bride and Whisper White.

Enjoy your weekend!

Enchanted

Hello,
I'm back for another post. I enjoy checking out the various card blogs that are out there and I recently discovered a new one. It's Sketch Frenzy Friday and for this post I'm participating in the SFF041312 sketch challenge. I really like this layout and right away I knew I wanted to use the Everyday Enchantment DSP. I wanted to coordinate it with the Fresh Vintage stamp set, but I had to turn the layout on its side to accomodate the stamp image. I decided not to include a sentiment on the outside. I like having several blank cards on hand.

Here's the sketch:



Here's my card:

Here are the details:

CS: Lucky Limeade
DSP: Everyday Enchantment (Sale-A-Bration)
Stamp Set: Fresh Vintage (Sale-A-Bration)

Happy Easter

Happy Tuesday,
I'm glad to be back again for another post. March has been great for me for card making. I've had a bit more time to get into my supplies to create some cards and now my stash of ready made cards is getting bigger. For today's post I created an Easter card. I wanted to use the retired Delicate Dots DSP that I've had for quite a while. I really like these soft colours for spring and for Easter. I'm participating in two challenges this time. I went to Hand Stamped Sentiments for HSS Challenge #111 - Easter and then I went to SU -Only Challenges #41 - Think Spring or Autumn.









Here's my card:

The details are:

CS: Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Whisper White
DSP: Delicate Dots
Stamp Sets: Create a Cupcake, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Certainly Celery
Embellishments: 5/8" So Saffron grosgrain ribbon (retired)
Tools: Cupcake Builder Punch

Have a great day!

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

Happy Saturday,
Yesterday was my parents' 49th wedding anniversary. I can't believe that they've been married as long as 49 years. Of course I made a card for them. I used the Valentine Defined stamp set for the image. I know Valentine's Day is over, but I love the kissing flamingoes for an anniversary card. For the sketch of the card I went to Freshly Made Sketches #24. I am also participating in another card challenge. This challenge is Stampin Royalty's #113 Dressing Down (No Embellishments) challenge.



Here's my card:

Here are the details:

CS: Basic Gray, Real Red, Whisper White
DSP: Love Impressions
Stamp Set: Valentine Defined, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Real Red
Tools: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Scallop Trim Border Punch

Have a great weekend,
Ana

Blossoming Flowers

Hi,
I'm happy to be back for another post. For today's post I challenged myself to only use colours in the Regals Collection. I find that I don't usually create cards using these colours. I'm glad that I did because I really like this colour combination. For the design layout of the card I went to Clean and Simple Stamping's Fall to Layout 178. I really like this clean and simple design. I decided to not add a sentiment because like to have some blank cards on hand.

Here's the sketch:



















Here's my card:

Here are the details:

CS: More Mustard, Elegant Eggplant, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Stamp Set: Bold Blossom
Ink: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler
