Baby Hedgehog Congratulation




Hi All,

Hope you are staying well.  Just wanted to show you another card that I had been working on.  This one is a cute little baby hedgehog card perfect for welcoming in a little one.

I used a neutral color so it can be used for a girl or a boy. 





Here are the supplies that I used in creating the card:

Close to my Heart " Congratulations" Stamp set called "For Every Occasion" D1187.


DCWV Polka Dot Embossed green dot paper


Lime Green card stock


Nuvo Glitter Drops  White Blizzard


Organdy ribbon, in my stash probably from JoAnn's.

I entered this card into these challenges:

1.  Penny Black Challenge.  Challenge is "Anything Goes".  Must use a Penny Black image.

2.  Avenue 613 Challenge.  Challenge is Anything Goes, with an optional twist of geometric shapes.

3.  Craft Rocket Challenge.  Challenge is Furry Friends.

4. Cute Card Thursday Challenge.  Challenge is Ribbons.

2 Kissing Fish


Hi All,

Hope this day finds you well and safe in these trying times.

Today's creation is a cute Anniversary card that I made.  The image is a digital image of a fish giving another fish a smack.   I am not sure where I picked this one up, it is an older digital stamp that I picked up.  If anyone knows who the maker of the digital stamp is, please let me know.  I would live to give them credit.


Here is a list of items that I used in making the card:
Blue Bunny Brilliant Blue dot Paper



To stamp the Happy Anniversary, I used Archival black Close to My Heart Ink and the stamp set Kaisercraft Mini Occasions.  This one looks to be out of stock most places.  I was able to find it on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Organza ribbon in blue, from JoAnn's in my stash.
Orange cardstock in my stash.
Topped the bubbles and the water off with Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard.



I entered the fish card into the following challenges:

1.  Avenue 613 Challenge.  Challenge is Anything with an optional twist of using a Geometric Shape.  In this card, I used dots. 


3.  Crafter's Castle Challenge.  Challenge is Anything Goes.

4.  Colour Crazy Challenge.  Challenge is anything hand colored goes. 

5.  Cardz for Galz Challenge.  Challenge is Cute Animals. 


Hope you like the creation and think that the fish are as cute as I do.   Anyways, take care and be safe out there.

Black and White and Pink all over

Hi all,

I spent another day working in the creative yesterday.  I was able to create 4 cards, 1 mixed media canvas and a few jewelry items which I will be sharing with you through out the week.  It was nice to be inspired and to be able to have the time to create.

Here is the first card that I wanted to share with you.  It's a simple black and white card with a splash of pink:



The items I used in creating this card are:

Hero Arts Stamp and Cut DC150, where I stamped birthday on the pink scalloped card stock and die cut "Happy" with black card stock to add above the stamped birthday greeting.

Cuttlebug Swirl Emboss Folder.  This one is super old and well loved.  I could only find the Darice brand to link to which would work perfectly as well.

The Swirl stamp set is also a super old one and well loved.  It is not in the original packaging so I am not sure what brand it it anymore.  I found one from Inkadinkado that would work perfectly.



Gina K stamp set Hello Sunshine.  I used the flowers to create the flowers that were stamped in the pink scalloped die cut.


Spellbinders Scalloped die cut. 



Nuvo Glitter Drops in Sherbert Shimmer.


I added a tiny little plaid pink and white bow which I had in my stash to finish it off.

Hope you liked the card that I created.  I added the card to the following challenges:

1. CAS on Friday Challenge.  Challenge is black and white with one color (my color is pink).

2.  Creative Finger Challenge.  Challenge is anything goes.

3.  PolkaDoodle Challenge.  Challenge is Anything goes.

4.  Challenge up your life Challenge.  Challenge is Flowers.

Thank you for looking,  stay safe.
Best,
Julie

Botanical Gardens

Hi All,

Worked on another card yesterday.  I needed a Birthday card for a co workers Birthday.  She loves plants and flowers so it seemed fitting to do a floral themed card.
Here is the card I created:


I used a pretty teal base card stock to pull in the teal color in the patterned paper.  Then die cut a large scalloped edge on a mustard yellow card stock.  The scalloped edge is from Spellbinders.  I then cut the same scalloped edge into the floral patterned paper (My Minds Eye)  to match the mustard yellow card  stock.  I added a yellow flower from my stock and added a brad in the middle of the flower.  I stamped "Happy Birthday" using the Kaisercraft mini stamp "Occasions".

I submitted the card to the following challenges:
1.  Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge.  The challenge is a color challenge HSS#336



2. A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge.  The Challenge is "Anything Goes".

3. A Perfect Time to Craft Challenge.  The Challenge is "Anything Goes".

Thank you, I hope you like what you see.
Best, stay safe out there.
Julie
