Beautiful Ride

 Playing along with Paper Players Challenge 747 "Things With Wheels".  I have a few different bicycle dies and I chose Ladies Bike by Paper Rose.  I die cut it out with pink polka dot paper then I added another dotted embossed layer to the basket, seat and handlebars.  And on the spokes, I used some pink Nuvo glitter drops.  The sentiment I used is from a stamp set by Catherine Pooler called "Beautiful Ride".  The background paper is from Doodlebug Design called Enjoy the Ride from My Happy Place collection.

The bike looks like its floating, but it's really going up an "invisible hill". 😄

Sweet Treat

 This was a great sketch by Freshly Made Sketches.  It was pretty easy to follow too.

I used the die and stencil set by Trinity Stamps called "Layered Ice Cream Cone".  I used the stencil on the die cut ice cream cone with Catherine Pooler inks.  It came with a sentiment to die cut out so I used that.

The background paper of ice cream cones is from Pebbles by American Crafts: Sun & Fun.

Blooming Hope

This was a great sketch by Freshly Made Sketches.

There are so many different shapes, images and dies you can use.

I used the stamp set by Brutus Monroe called "Lovely Lilies".  I colored the stamped images with colored pencils and then die cut them out.  The sentiment is from a stamp set by Waffle Flower called "Full Bloom Sentiments".

I also added a few Yellow Bird Nuvo Glitter Drops.

Coffee Helps

Happy Saturday!  Can you believe that the month of June is almost over!  Only two more days left!  Hello July!!

Freshly Made Sketches 692 was fun to work with.  I used coffee cups as my focal point. Most everybody needs a cup of coffee in the morning.  I know that I do. 😆

The coffee cups are from the stamp set by Heffy Doodle called "Perfect Blend".  The paper I used is "But First, Coffee" by Reminisce.  Sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps called "Perfect Blend".

Thankful Hedgehog

 This challenge, Sketch Challenge: PP743, was a bit hard for me.  I have gotten so used to creating layered cards and I had to stop myself from using a die cut or fussy cutting out the stamped image.

Anyway, I did it.  My stamped image is "Hedgehog with Sign" by Gerda Steiner Designs.  I put him on some rocks and grass so he wouldn't be floating around and then I used the stencil "Inner Glow" by Picket Fence Studios to give a little background and make him look even more THANKFUL. 😊

Fruity Drink

I decided to take a stab at one of the Paper Players Challenge.  

This is PP742-Feeling Fresh & Fruity.

For this card, I used Trinity Stamps "Island Cocktail" stamp and die set.  I added a slice of pineapple, a strawberry and a few ice cubes to the refreshing drink.  The sentiment is a die cut from Altenew called "Fancy Celebrate".  This looks like a drink that I would take a sip of!

Flying High

 I see a lot of possibilities with this Freshly Made Sketches #690.  I plan on using it often.  

This particular card will eventually turn into a birthday card.  I just have to add the "Happy Birthday" sentiment and then Voila!

The hot air balloon is from the stamp set by Altenew called "Up & Away".
