World Card Making Day #2

Continuing with World Card Making Day, I challenge YOU to mail out at least one card this weekend to someone in need of a hug. I KNOW you know someone, and now that they've come to mind, you're really gonna want to send that off.... 

This card used the inspiration from The Card Concept.

I used the suggested colors, the wood background, the sunflowers and foliage and the gingham ribbon for my card. And let me tell you, it took some time!! haha.... Not only die cutting (22 flower bits, and a bunch of "grass") but then gluing it all down and making it all fit! And then the fluffing! haha! But! I am really happy with it. I think it is a very cheerful card and I'm excited to mail it out! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Garden Wishes 
Ink: Garden Green
Paper: Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Garden Green & Early Espresso card stocks, In Good Taste DP
Accessories: Gingham Ribbon, Dandy Wishes dies

Tell you what - if you send off a card this week, and comment here that you did so, I'll enter you for a drawing and I'll send the winner some little surprise. Really really. Now mail it off! 

Flowers or weeds?

I think that depends on your age, haha....
Today I have a card using a dandelion image I didn't expect to use, haha, but here's my second time! (my mom bought the set) This will be a birthday card for someone who loooves dandelions. I used the soft color combo from Global Design Project, and the theme from SUO Challenges, which is "plant life". I think the dandelions turned out awfully pretty! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Wishes
Ink: Pale Papaya, Pear Pizazz
Paper: Whisper White, Balmy Blue
Accessories: Pale Papaya Woven Ribbon

T is for...

The current SUO Challenge is to use your first initial as the start of your project.
I was totally stuck. I don't own any stamp sets that start with T, there are no current colors that start with T.... HMMMMMM......
I finally decided T is for "tools", so I picked a set of dies and did the block stamping again. (same block in fact). Then I decided T was for "template" so I picked a sketch, (from Sunday Stamps) which is my favorite starting point anyway... And then I wanted to make a "matching" card with stamps instead of dies so you get a "two-fer"!
annnd as soon as I was done, my smart daughter said "Why didn't you just do "thinking of you"?
snort.
or "thank" you....
Well becaaaause, *I was overthinking! Obviously. haha! 
But since I made two of these, you get to see them! 

First the one with the dies....

Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Wishes
Ink: Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow
Paper: Crumb Cake, Pear Pizazz, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Block H, Dandy Wishes dies, Big Shot (retired)

And then the stamped version...

Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Wishes

And a side by side-

Well, they're cute anyway, even if everything was an unnecessary stretch. ha! What are you making today? Or struggling with...? That's okay too! 

A Dandelion in New Colors!

I got a little stamping time today so I'm finally posting this.
I used the color combo from Global Design Project, which features three of the new In Colors I haven't even played with yet! ...I don't think... haha....!
Anyway, I used the markers because I hadn't decided which ink pads I was going to get. And markers sometimes give a not-entirely clear image. Thanks for pushing me over the edge guys...I need Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent for sure! haha! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Garden Wishes

Ink: Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen

Paper: Basic White, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen

Accessories: Flowers For Every Season, Linen Thread

One of these days I'm going to need to make cards for my display board, but in the meantime, I know who to send this one to. 

You should mail a pretty card too! People love getting them! I promise!

Today, the sun is shining and the forecast is spring weather this week. So I chose to play with a sweet new-to-me stamp set from the Mini Catalog. Our theme today is "Cut It Out", featuring either die cuts or punches and I used both! I also used the sketch from The Paper Players.

Accessories: Linen Thread, Wink of Stella, Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, Dandy Wishes Dies, Dimensionals, Big Shot
