Challenge 319


Color challenge:  Flirty Flamingo, Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron




I used the Sunshine Wishes Thinlit for the heart in Flirty Flamingo.  The flowers were punched out with the Petit Petals punch. The word thanks was from the Crazy About You set on the retired Word Window Punch with Mint Macaron ink.  The base and the ribbon is Emerald Envy and the paper is Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.


I like to finish the inside of my cards.  I really like that it this set has a sentiment for the inside of the card too.

This card turned out really cute.

Thanks for coming by and come back soon.

Jar of Haunts

I could not resist this mummy in the jar!  So I bought the Jar of Haunts stamp set and the Everyday Jar Thinlits.


I had to let my mummy have friends so I add a Jack-O-Lantern jar and what I call a Grinch jar because the eyes remind me of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.   The Happy Halloween came from another random set that I had.  Not sure who made it.  Then I stamped the candy corn, colored them in and cut them apart to sprinkle across the card.
I love my Haunted Jars.

Thanks for coming by.  Come back again soon.

Sweet Cupcakes


I made these for the swap in my monthly Stars (stampers) meeting. They turned out really cute.  It's hard to see the sweet in the photos, but they are glittery and sparkly in person..  I made the first pink one for my Granddaughter and liked it so well I decided to make it for my swap.

When I saw this set Sweet Cupcakes in the Stampin' Up catalog, I thought "I don't really need another cupcake stamp."  But I am glad I changed my mind.  This is a 3-step stamp and it really turns out nicely and the sayings are really nice.


I like stamp sets that have sentiments for the inside also!

Thanks for coming by for a visit.  Come back again soon..

Thoughtful Branches

I ordered the Thoughtful Branches bundle at almost the last minute!  But I am so glad I did.  I really love the cards that I have made with it so far and I am just getting started!





I absolutely adore the Hydrangea stamp and thinlit (it can also be a tree top in this set).  Could you tell.  It's beautiful in any color


 .

This bottom card is also a tree top turned into a flower.  The color is Rich Razzleberry which looks almost black in the photo.  I stamped it full color and then a one off a couple of times to get the color variation.  The ribbon is Sweet Sugarplum because I didn't have any Rich Razzleberry ribbon but I think the two colors coordinate quite nicely.

Thanks for coming by,

Flourish Thinlits Yet Again

I don't think that I will ever get tired of this bundle.  I really love this card made with the Flourish Thinlit dies.  I had cut a couple of the flowers earlier and they were just hanging around until I decided to do something with them.



I used Sweet Sugarplum for the purple flowers.  The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Sky is the Limit stamp set.

After I took the picture, I noticed one of my pearls had gotten out of place, but I'll make sure it is back in place before passing this card along.

Fun with Flourishing Phrases

Another card from Flourishing Phrases.  This is such a great set.  I really love the stamps and the thinlits.

This time I used the stamp and was very happy with the results.


This was done with Strawberry Slush.
This next one I made last night for a Sympathy card.  Simple and elegant. I used the thinlit and cut it out in silver glitter paper.
