Birthday Card for Mom

This card is a birthday card for my mother and not related to a sketch of any kind.  Her birthday is the 28th of this month and I wanted to do something different.  I do like the way it came out.  It got mailed a little late, but I think she will love it when she gets it. 💕

I stamped all around a piece of white cardstock using Sweet Ginkgo, a stamp set by Altenew.  I used two different types of green ink to stamp the leaves.  New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves, both by Memento.  Then I die cut Ginko leaves from a die set by Paper Rose rightly called Ginko Leaves using two different colors of green cardstock and attached them onto the white cardstock.  I backed that up with a piece of light green cardstock.

The greeting on the front is from two different Waffle Flower stamp sets.  The Happy Birthday to you is from Birthday Wishes and the word Mom is from Feather More.

                                                    

 

The inside greeting is again from two different stamp sets.  The word Mom is from an Altenew stamp set called Best Mom. The other two sentiments are from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Inside Sentiments Birthday 2.

I stamped a few Ginkgo leaves from the same Altenew stamp set onto the bottom and attached it to another piece of light green cardstock.

Loving Flamingos

Here is my take on FMS #737.

I used the background stamp by Picket Fence Studios again: Flamingo Boogie.  After I stamped it, I embossed it with Bubble Wrapping embossing folder by Sizzix.

The flamingos are from the stamp set Flirty Flamingos by PhotoPlay.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Dancing Flamingos

My daughter and her husband's wedding anniversary is coming up in June, so I'm working on some card ideas and this is one of them.  

I used the sketch by TSOT #695 for this one.

I created the background with the stamp set Flamingo Boogie by Picket Fence Studios.  I stamped in teal and grape jelly by Memento.

The two flamingos and the stereo are from the stamp set by Heffy Doodle called Flock Star.

Sentiment is from Stampendous called Greetings Galore.

Blending Together

Wow! Was it hot and muggy here on Tuesday!  And it's going to be that way again on today!

I'm not ready for all this humid weather!

Nonetheless, here is a card I made for The Paper Players.  This is for challenge PP786: Food.

I created this card from an older Waffle Flower stamp set called We Blend.  I stamped, colored and die cut the images.  

I had a hard time picking out the right background paper because of the different color fruit and vegetables.  I ended up going with a beige base color and then added the borders from an Altenew paper pack called A Love For Stripes Set D.

Birthday Bows

 I decided to post another card using the FMS #736 Sketch.  This time I went with bows.

The bows are from a die set by Picket Fence Studios called A Bow for Any Reason.

The circles are Deckled Frames 2 by Waffle Flower.

Sentiment is Sweet Lattice Sentiments also by Waffle Flower.

Trio of Umbrellas

 Happy Sunday!

This is my card for FMS #736.  This is a really cute sketch.  You can replace the circles with any shape.  I went with umbrellas.

These umbrellas are from a die set by Dress My Craft called Umbrellas.

I used Rainy Backdrop die by Lawn Fawn and Bubbles on the Border die by Technique Tuesday.

The sentiment is from a Picket Fence Studios stamp set called This Rain Will Pass.

Beautiful Tulips

This card is for The Paper Players Theme Challenge PP784.

The tulips are from a stamp set by Waffle Flower just called Tulips. I colored them with colored pencils and die cut them out.

I placed them onto yellow cardstock that I embossed with the Wicker Texture 3D embossing folder by Altenew, added a fence die cut by Impression Obsession and Thinking of you sentiment from Waffle Flower stamp set Sweet Lattice Sentiments.

Mother's Day Pansy

 Happy Sunday!

Showing another Mother's Day card. I used the card sketch FMS #734.  I didn't want to use a square card base, so I went with my regular A6 size.

The background paper is called Homemade by Carta Bella.

The two labels are from a Spellbinders die set called Labels Ten.

I used a stamp set by Technique Tuesday for the flower called Pansy Flower. I added a tiny bee.

The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps called Queen Bee.
