OTWC #48 Congratulations

Pink - Blue - Yellow OTWC Colors this week are SO pretty.  I say this every week, but I think Kim ALWAYS has great color combos!   I originally wanted to do a springy/floral card, but I needed to make a baby card, so these colors worked perfectly.  I have several pregnant friends, so this card will go to one of them.  That reminds me, I need to start making some simple Thank-You cards for them.  I kept it simple, adding just a few touches to fancy it up a bit.  I added 2 score lines to hold up the elephants, but it doesn't show in the picture.   PTI polka dot ribbon matched perfectly with the Bitty Dots paper I used.  Both stamps are from DeNami: Elephant and Congratulations.  

DeNami Blog Hop: Floral Frenzy

 Welcome to the DeNami Blog Hop -- FLORAL FRENZY is the theme this month!  Hopefully you hopped from Ayana's Blog, if not you can start at the beginning of the hop HERE.
I have SO many pretty floral DeNami stamps, it was honestly challenging to choose! I settled on using this big and bold large hibiscus stamp.  I stamped it twice and cut it out, stuck some foam tape in between the layers to give it some dimension.  The leaves were cut out and stuck behind the flower, so easy and so pretty! 

Your next stop is the super sweet and talented Michele at Studio MSG.

Wee Memories Challenge: Spring is near, Green in here!

 Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge --- Spring is near, Green is here!

 

  

Sponsored by AnnaBelle Stamps. 

I don't plan on sending out St. Patricks Day cards this year.... so I thought cup cake toppers were the perfect way to go for this challenge.  I pulled out my DeNami St. Patricks Day stamps, stamped in black, punched out with 7/8 circle punch, matted with 3 other sized circles.  Colored in with my tombow markers.  I bought bamboo forks at Walmart to adhere the circles onto.  I just used my trusty ATG tape gun to hold them together.  I made a sentiment banner for the front one.  NO glitter, I didn't want my kids eating any.  Next time I'm making vanilla cupcakes or something I don't like, I managed to sneak and eat 2 of these yesterday!  I did share the remainder with my sweet neighbors though.  My FAVORITE color is Green and I love Spring, so I can't wait to see what you make this week!  You have until Friday the 18th to participate.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Shamrock Chickie, Happy St. Patricks Day, Curly Shamrock, Lucky Irish Stamp Set
Cardstock: Lime, Emerald, White, Black
Misc: Circle, Scallop Punches, Black Versafine Pad, Tombow Markers, ATG tape, Bamboo Forks.

DeNami Product Spotlight - Spring Chicks

 

The DeNami Blog has a whole collection of pretty cards using these sweet little Spring Chicks...... so get check it out!!! 

  I chose pretty pastel colors for a spring feel.  Stamped the little chick set in Versafine Sepia Ink onto Cream Cardstock.  I matted the squares onto the Strawberry Freeze paper, but it lacked something.  I threw some rhinestones on and it just seemed to work.  Gotta love the grosgrain ribbon, so easy to tie, I use it on almost every card I make.   Hey, look... no purple on this one!!!

Supplies:

Stamps: Spring Chicks Set, Polka Dot Background

Cardstock: Sky Blue, Celery, Cream, Strawberry Freeze

Ink: Versafine Sepia,  Versamark

Misc: 5/8 Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, Rhinestones, Tombow Markers, Foam Tape.

DeNami Sketch Challenge #7 - Michele

I love sketch challenges, even more so when they are on the DeNami Blog.  This is the sketch that Michele came up with, I just flipped it up side down, it's just what my brain thought to do with it!  I used the polka dot background stamp with versamark to make polka dot paper, and the Happy Bird-day Chicks.  Added 3 rows of ribbon, and a bow tied with some Twinery twine and a button.   Hope you get a chance to play along!
Supplies:
Stamps: Happy Bird-Day Chicks, Polka dot background
Ink: Versamark and Versafine Black
Cardstock: Amethyst, White, Tangerine.
Misc: 5/8 Hot Pink Ribbon, 3/8 Lime Ribbon, 3/8 Robin Egg Blue Ribbon, Aqua Button, Twinery Twine, Spellbinders Die, Tombow Markers.

Wee Memories Challenge: Woodland Friends

Wee Memories Challenge this week is "Woodland Friends" - animals you would see in the woods.  Our sponsor this week is Serendipity Stamps. I made a tall and skinny notebook for This & That, just for fun. I used the Papertrey Ink notebooks and downloaded a template for the cardstock cover.

Such a fun theme, and with my large collection of cute DeNami animals it was hard to narrow it down.  I chose to use the owl trio stamp  and the owls stamp set.  I love this Decorative Paper from Crate Paper, I've been hoarding... so proud I finally used some of it!  I decorated the front of the notebook and tied a ribbon around it to keep it closed tightly.  Small rhinestones, felt die cut, stamped circle, SU and PTI ribbon, just goodies from my stash that seemed to match the patterned paper. My 6 year old found the notebook on my desk and has claimed it as her own, so glad she liked it!
 

Tuesday Trigger

Tuesday Trigger Time.  I love the yellow door in the photos, so I tried to re-create some of the lattice work using this SU die.  I took this hot pink flower off of a swimsuit a few summers ago, I knew I'd use it on a project sooner or later.  Simple, no stamping, but thoughtful none the less!
