Celebrate Spring

Happy Tuesday!  It's a beautiful Spring Day, temperatures in the 70's.

I'm sharing a card I created for Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge SC1108.

Items Used:

Sunflower Market Paper pad by Carta Bella

Stitched Rounded Square die set by Cottage Cutz

Flower Cart die set by Impression Obsession

Blooming Trike die set by A Pocket Full of Happiness

Tiny Flowers die set by Trinity Stamps

Sentiment: Simply Celebrate Spring stamp set by Lawn Fawn.

Scribble Posies

It's amazing how fast time goes by.  Here we are almost at the end of April and it's time for another Double Trouble Challenge.  

I am again presenting a card as a Crazy Cousin Guest Designer.  

This is for Double Trouble Challenge #215.

For this card, I started off embossing a piece of greenish/yellow cardstock with Daisy Tiles 3D embossing folder by Altenew.  I used Fossilized Amber Distress Ink on the center of each daisy to make it pop.

I used Scribble Posies Background and Outline dies my Memory Box and adhered them on top of the embossed cardstock.

The sentiment is from Happy Year Around die set by Technique Tuesday.

                                                                          

                        

                                    

I'm also joining in with the Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #694.

Spring Chicken

I decided to finally play along with Splitcoast Stampers.  I've been neglecting their sketches, so I'm playing catchup.  This is SC1110.

The paper I used is from a 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella called Sunflower Summer.  It had the little chickens that I wanted to use.

The chickens are from a stamp set by Simon Hurley called Spring Chicken.  The sentiment is also.

Shell-ebrating

 Here's another take on Freshly Made Sketches FMS #732.

The background paper is from a 6x6 paper pad by Reminisce called Hello Sunshine.

The sand dollar, conch shell and moon shell are all dies from Cottage Cutz.

The sentiment is from a Pink & Main stamp set called Shell-ebrate.

Breakfast Time

Can you believe it's Friday already??  We are more than halfway through this month of April.

And it was so hot yesterday, up to 80 degrees and today it was close to it.

Anyway, this card is for FMS #732.

The paper I used is from Coffee Shop by Newton's Nook.

The coffee pot, coffee cup, spoon and toaster with bread are all part of a die set by Cottage Cutz called Coffee Pot & Toaster.

The sentiment is from a stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps called Life's Sweet Moments.

Ovals and Foliage

 Here's another Mother's Day card that I made using TGIF Challenge TGIFC #572.

For this card I used paper from Coffee Shop by Carta Bella.

The ovals are from Cottage Cutz: Nested Scallop Ovals.

The little leaves are from Alex Syberia: Classic Foliage Set.

Sentiment: For The Ladies by Waffle Flower.

The butterflies and the flight loop are from an old Jolee's Boutique dimensional sticker set called Colorful Butterflies.

Happy Spring

 Happy Spring! Happy Tuesday!

The beautiful yellow tulips on this card makes one want to take a sniff to smell the aroma of spring.

It all came together using a sketch by TSOT #693.

I think it might also qualify for Double Trouble Challenge #214 because of the butterflies and the 3-2-1 recipe.

This card was made with:

Spring Vibes Paper Pad by Echo Park
Layered Tulips Die by Waffle Flower
Little Etched Butterflies by Paper Rose
Sentiment from Crocus Stamp Set by Waffle Flower

Blocks and Foliage

Here is another Mother's Day Card that I made using FMS #731.  I used some foliage die cuts that I cut out before and used on another card.

I don't remember where the paper came from. I was looking through my stash of paper pads and I just couldn't find it.  But I like the way it all fit. 

The foliage is by Alex Syberia: Classic Foliage Set.

The sentiment is by Colorado Craft: For Mom.

Dance in the Rain

Hello All!

 

I was chosen as a Crazy Cousin Guest Designer for the month of April for the Double Trouble Challenge #214.  

        This is both an honor and a challenge.  

The paper used on this card is from a paper pad by Echo Park called My Favorite Spring.

My image is from a stamp set by Colorado Craft called Never Far Behind. He is just so cute with his little umbrella.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set

Little Bees

Today I'm finishing up a card for Try A Sketch On Tuesday.  This is for TSOT #692.

Since it is Spring, I decided to go with bees (that are soon to come) and a beehive.

I'm also entering this card into Double Trouble Challenge #213.

The paper that was used for this card comes from Bee Happy by Echo Park.

The beehive and bees are all part of the stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps called Bee Hive.

The sentiment is also from a Honey Bee Stamps set called Queen Bee.

I decided to also add my card to The Paper Players Color Challenge.

Colorful Foliage

I know I posted this card already but, I could not get it to show up on Freshly Made Sketches blog with my first posting.  This again is FMS #730

Altenew, Waffle Flower and Alex Syberia dies were used to create this card.

 

Foliage Frames

It's Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday.  I'm just finishing up a card for FMS #730.

I made two cards and decided to post them both.  

This is the first one I made.

The paper I used is from a Paper Rose paper pack called Maya's Garden.

For the side border I used Fluffy Clouds die set by Sunny Studio.  

The frames are from Pinking Squares Frames by Waffle Flower.

The foliage is Dry Flowers by Waffle Flower. I colored them with Catherine Pooler inks.

Greeting is from Colorado Craft: For Mom.

This is the second card.

For the side border I used Piped Waffle die by Altenew.  

I used the same Pinking Square Frames from Waffle Flower.

The foliage is Classic Foliage Set by Alex Syberia.  I die cut them out with different decorative cardstock.

The sentiment is again from Colorado Craft: For Mom.
