Create Along With Us: May 2017

I hoard strips of cardstock....

 

(stamp: Papertrey Ink Movers & Shakers Sentiments  die:Papertrey Ink Winter Woods)

So when I saw Wanda's creation for Papertrey's newest release...

 I was inspired~from the sectioned sentiment down to the colorful dots.

I washi-blocked a sentiment from Movers & Shakers and stamped each phrase on a delicious strip.

 Create Along With Us: May 2017

Hope your day is floating along smoothly friends~

 

Faith Card

I assembled a card with bright cutouts that were laying on my desk.

 I'd rather get a card done than stash them away~

This time I stamped the dots~

 

Simon Says (Wednesday): Going Dotty

 Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

Because You Make My Heart Happy

(stamps: My Favorite Things Because You  dies: My Favorite Things Because You/Wonky Stitched Circle,Sweet 'n Sassy New Beginnings butterfly)

A water colored circle sitting on my desk needed a card to sit on.

This BRIGHT pack of paper seemed to play well with it.

I die-cut a dotty butterfly and dotty circle for

Simon Says (Wednesday): Going Dotty.

Hey guys, IT. IS. FRIDAY.

Hey Sweet Thing!

Hey sweet thing!!!

Hope you are having a fine Monday~

I have a card to share, it's for the

Ellen Hutson May Mix It Up Challenge with Reverse Confetti.

 

 I pulled out my Reverse Confetti Fright Night dp for the stitched oval panel~

I fussy cut around the sentiment~this font and placement has just the right dips and placement for such a technique.


Thanks for stopping in~

Watercolor Wash Background

This is probably the best watercolor experience I've had ~thanks to the latest Make it Monday.

I need a card for a party next month...it's for a traveling friend.

 

 

She's been all over the world and back and there's a celebration to hear all her deets!

I need to leave this card where I can find it in a month....

Take care friends, and thanks for stopping by~

 

Mom's Colorful Card

I got mom's Mother's Day card done, because she lives quite a ways away and I need to mail her box.

The Mother's Day stamp set I bought months ago had wandered off, but I found it!

Check out the pops of color here at Card Concept!

 

I couldn't decide on one color~wanted to represent allllll of them on this clean and layered card ;).

 

 The card base came from a pack of polka dot card bases~it represents the boot.

I used the Tree-mendous die for the "egg" the birds are set on.

Hope you have a good one~

Lifts Your Spirits

I've wanted to try out palm prints~

(stamps:Papertrey Ink Palm Prints,free sentiment panel with Verve order-thankyou!  dies:Papertrey Ink Palm Prints)

These colors were perfect~

I can't even wrap my brain around how quickly Monday got here again.

So far, I'm surviving~hope you are too!
