Happy Spring!

Hi scrappers! Well, it's finally here...the weekend! I hope you all are enjoying whatever it is that you're doing. I created a card for a couple of challenges and of course, I had to share it with you.

This card is a little unusual for me because...it's cricut-less! This card is 4 by 9.25-inches and will fit into a business size envelope. The floral layer is cut at 3.75 by 9-inches and the yellow layer is 3.25 by 8.25-inches. I embossed the yellow layer with a background stamp by Stampendous. I absolutely love how it turned out! The flowers were cut using a die from Papertrey Ink, it comes with 3 different sizes, but I just used the two smaller sizes.


The patterned paper is from Echo Park and the solid cardstock is of course, Papertrey Ink. I used the Wide Eyes Face Assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps. I'll tell ya, of all the peachy stamps I have, I think this is my favorite. The sweet faces are just too cute!


I popped up one layer of each flower and then adhered them flat to my card, except for the flower with the sentiment. I actually double popped-up that one. I hope that makes sense, lol!


To finish off my card I added buttons from PTI (the sentiment is from there as well) and used embroidery thread to each button. Oh and the white ribbon is PTI too.

I am going to enter this card in Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge as well as Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. If you get a chance please check out both of these blogs, they are wonderful!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and I always love reading your comments. And if you have any questions please let me know. I'll see you back here soon.

3 Birds With One Stone

It's almost Valentine's Day... and this week I managed to design one card that I'm going to submit to 3 different challenges! I'm pretty excited about it.

Challenge #1-Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time

• Emma challenged us to create a project using the 'Wild Card Cartridge'- the card base and layers can both be found on that cartridge.

Challenge #2-Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge

• For this challenge we were asked to create a project using 'Simply Charmed'-the "LoveBug" and all her layers are from this cartridge.

Challenge #3-Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge 45

• Here's the sketch we were given to work with, which I used to design my card.
  

On the inside of my card I used a $1 stamp from Michael's and a second heart that I cut out from the 'Simply Charmed' cartridge.

I almost forgot to mention that my adorable love bug is on an Action Wobble. She's too cute when she's shaking her "thang"!


Details:

• Bazzil textured cardstock for the base of the card, cut at 5-inches
  
• Pattern Paper-Bo Bunny 'Crush Collection'
• Solid Cardstock-Papertrey Ink
• Love Bug-'Simply Charmed' Cricut cartridge, cut at 2.75-inches
• Circular layers cut at 5.82-inches (sized on my Gypsy)
• "Love"-stamp from Papertrey Ink and embossed in red
• Vintage Crinkle Ribbon in Scarlet Red from My Craft Spot
• Peachy Keen Stamps-Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment
  

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog. I'll see you back here tomorrow with a couple of Valentine's Day projects.
