CAS Birthday Card

Stamplorations is sponsoring a challenge at AAA Cards.  CAS is a challenge for me, but I like to practice and hope to one day master the artistry of a clean and simple card.  The theme is rainbow, and my card includes all the hues except purple.  It was fun to arrange scraps from this fun stack and to add a shimmery heart as a nod to mythical pot of gold at rainbow's end.


Thanks so much for visiting, and have a marvelous day,
Christine

Reverse Confetti Stock your Stash--Baby Girl

I NEED some baby cards, but I don't have many stamps in that category, and none of them are from Reverse Confetti.  In my opinion, Reverse Confetti Wreath and Edger dies make such pretty cards, and I love Banners in Bloom.  All it took was searching for a sentiment that would fit the banner, and I found one!   Very happy with how the card turned out.  :)

Thanks so much for taking a peek,
Christine

Inspired By....Beach Day

I love the soothing colors in the Inspired By photo. In fact, I recently did some redecorating and told the lady at the furniture store I was searching for shades of sand and beach glass. We found warm beiges and icy blues and greens, and the room is so soothing!

The stamps included in this project are MFT's Pressed Flowers and Verve's Poppy Birthday (so sadly retired!).

Thanks for taking a look,

Tickled Pink It's Your Birthday!

A panel of cheerful confetti printed paper set the scene for this card featuring MFT's Flamingo Die Namics and Tickled Pink Stamp Set.  There is a little Distress Oxide ink behind the flamingo, a splattering of Wink of Stella glitter pen, and the sentiment is embossed in gold.  A fun, happy card!


Thanks so much for taking a look!

Squeal---It's Your Day!

The MFT Birthday Challenge theme is confetti.  I love the Hog Heaven stamp set and it contains two tiny flowers and a cupcake, and I decided to use them as the "confetti" in a tulle shaker card.  This is my first attempt at a shaker, and the elements tend to clump together.  Does anyone have a solution?

Congratulations on your graduation!

I chose to interpret the paned element on the sketch as a Stitched Mini Scalloped Square and intended adorn one corner with Pressed Flowers, but the bouquet grew. The flowers are so much fun to stamp!   The horizontal element is a scalloped die from Verve.

Wedding Wishes

This is another card created for an upcoming family celebration.  The coming year promises several happy events.  The stamps are MFT's Pressed Flowers with matching dies, and the Verve sentiment (retired)  is stamped on a Reverse Confetti tag from the Tall Tags Trio.
