Favorite Hello

The Stamp Market Paw Print die, Whimsy Stamps Irreplaceable Friend, Riley and Company Brick Wall

 Here's a sympathy card I created for someone who lost a precious furbaby.

I did a bright sunny monochromatic color (memories are always playful).

Thank you for your sweet visit today~

Happy Birthday Van

The Greetery Happy Hippie Van die, stickers

I finally cracked open this Happy Hippie Van and used it to make a Birthday van for my daughter's special day, so I'm linking to Darnell's NBUS!

Up top is a miniature (doll?) easel set I picked up at a craft store.

I glued all the little pieces down so that her pets wouldn't snack on them. ;)

 

I filled this interactive 3D "not a card" with multiple sentiments for the birthday girl.

Bold Birthday

 Simon Says Stamp Birthday Mail, Reverse Confetti (no longer in business) Layered Mom Confetti Cuts frame, The Stamp Market Ribbon Plaid Cover die

Simon Says (Wednesday): Happy Birthday!

Every birthday, I take advantage of the amazing birthday set at Simon Says Stamp (email subscriber).

I've got three now and I love them so much!

The backdrop was created with the remnants of The Stamp Market Ribbon Plaid Cover Die.

I flipped the coverplate over (after die cutting) and dotted glue before placing on the backdrop.

Have a blessed day~

Monochromatic Boardwalk Thank You

Concord & 9th Boardwalk Stacks, My Favorite Things Cloud Stencil

I tried a monochromatic vibe with Concord & 9th's Boardwalk Stacks on a flat card (vs pop up).

I like it too!

Simon Says (Wednesday): Anything Goes

I've stenciled the clouds in the backdrop, for a little bit of depth.

 Thank you for your sweet visit today~

DT INk Clean & Simple

Kindred Stamps Emotional Roller Coaster, Copics

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time it's the word prompt Clean & Simple with an Optional Twist E.

Optional Twist: E is for...Easter, evening, engagement...

Lots of masking for this one!

I've added this inside:

My optional "E" is for the name of the stamp set from Kindred Stamps: Emotional Roller Coaster.

Please join us with your unique take!

I'm also submitting my card to 

*We’d love to see your clean and simple creations shine in more than one place!  If you’re playing along with our Inkspirational challenge, why not also link up your card at the AAA Card Challenge?

 Their new theme of “E stands for…” pairs perfectly with our optional twist (think Easter, eggs, envelopes, engagement, etc!). Their challenge begins on Sunday!*

 Sharing in both challenges is a wonderful way to share your creativity with an even wider community. Happy crafting!

Celebrate Pop Up Boardwalks

Concord & 9th Boardwalk Stacks/Pop-Out Stacks Base

 

My eldest turned 30 ya'll!

I wanted to make a BIG card celebration which challenged me to give Concord & 9th Boardwalk Stacks (and Pop-Out Stacks) a try.

I did some homework and double checked the site multiple times to see what layers on what.  I printed it out too, because then I could lay it beside my project as I went.

SO FUN.

My husband and daughter both said "I can't believe you made this!".

YAY!!

I think every creator wants that reaction. ;)
