Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #32

Amy's Challenge @ Papertrey Paper Dolls 

1.  Embossing

2.  Use any floral image from PTI

3.  Spring colors

Easy and fun challenge!  I loved Amy's card, it must have stuck in my mind more than I thought.... I honestly had this challenge written down from weeks ago, made the card yesterday and was surprised when I saw how similar my colors/theme were to Amy.   I used PTI Delightful Dalia stamped in Versamark and embossed with white powder.  Rhinestones in the centers, PTI die cut, DeNami Mom stamp, a pinch of glitter around the label.  Perfect card for my mom --- just because!!

Card Aisle Inspiration --- Laurie's Challenge

Laurie has a fun challenge for us on her blog.  I chose to use a Thank-You card that I purchased from Michael's.  I found a pack of 8 of these for $1.  My sister loves yellow, so I bought them to give to her. 

I used Stampin Up textured yellow paper that I received as a gift from a SU stampin buddy in CA.  Thanks again friend! Embossed the DeNami Cherry Blossom Garland  using versamark and white powder. Grey scrap mounted onto a white piece of cardstock with the contempo thank you stamp.  It's Monday, and my MOJO is lagging, so my card looks almost exactly the same as the inspirational card..  No creativity needed on this one.  Thanks again to Laurie for hosting this fun challenge, it inspired me to make a card this afternoon!

My 6 year old son playing baseball... combined with misc. tidbits found in my craft stash made for an easy and quick page..... thanks to the below sketch!

My layout came straight from this Sketchy Thursdays Sketch. 

Off The Wall Craftiness #49 Color Challenge

 I love Off The Wall Craftiness Color Challenges.  Normally I can take the colors and create a quick card in NO time.  This combination was SUPER challenging for me.  My cards kept looking like something Ronald McDonald would like.  I am posting both of my cards, even though I don't "love" either of them.... enjoy!  Next week will be Challenge #50 --- I'm ready for some new colors. ;-)

Both cards use Wilson Design Stamps.  I am so excited to finally own some of them!!! I used Simply Silhouettes and Everything's Owlright.  DeNami Red and Lime Green Grosgrain Ribbon.

Lilacs for PDCC74

  

Play Date Cafe Challenge #74 Turquoise and Purple.... Gorgeous!!! I was instantly inspired by the color combo, and loved the potted plants hanging on the wall. 

 

I used the Lilacs in Pitcher stamp from  Lockhart Stamp Co. Colored in real quick with my copics.  I used Lovely Lilac Cardstock... I've had it for 12 years or so, it's about time to use it up!  Broke into some new patterned paper from My Minds Eye - Stella Rose, Hazel Paper Pad. DeNami purple button, twinery twine. Fun ribbon, and of a doily. Are you sick of purple and doilies yet?  Seems to be my thing lately!  Happy Friday! Hope you have something FUN planned!

DeNami Product Spotlight: Chickie Easter Basket

 

Product Spotlight Time~ We are showcasing the sweet chickie easter basket today on the DeNami Blog.   1st off, I must give full credit to Laurie for inspiring me with her beautiful card.   I used the same layout, it was perfect for the easter basket stamp...  thanks Laurie!

  I used lavender cardstock and stamped the polka dot background with versamark.  The Easter Basket is stamped in Versafine Smoky Grey, and Happy Easter is Purple Brilliance. I scored lines above and below the basket, hard to see in the picture.  The fabulous pink grosgrain ribbon was tied doing Paulina's Fancy Bow - she has a video if you need to see it.   Tombow markers, rhinestones, and DeNami Extra Fine Glitter added the finishing touches.

Make sure you visit the DeNami Blog to see the other cards the Design Team came up with.  Also, there is an Easter Card Kit and stamp bundle you can purchase if you love this stamp!

CR84FN Color Challenge #20

CR84FN Color Challenge #20 - I had to play along.... I LOVE purple!  I dug out my DeNami Lilac stamp and colored away with my copics.   Turned out a bit bluer than the plum colors in the PTI Guidelines Paper, but close enough for me.  I even did some machine stitching around the smaller panel, I need to use a darker thread next time so it shows better.  OH, and this stamps is less than $10, I just noticed it is being retired.
