PDCC83+WMSC49

Happy Memorial Day!!!  I am super excited that my family (Mom, Dad and younger sister) will arrive on Wednesday morning and they will stay with us for 2 months. YA~~ Can't wait to see them. (I plan to take 2 months off crafting (SAD) because I won't have much time after the baby gets here but hopefully I can find sometime to have some craft fun.) Today I have a card to share.

This one is made for  PDCC83 + WMSC49.  It's color splash week on PDCC, black + white + hint of green. I also use sketch from WMSC49.

I try to keep it simple and clean. All stamps from Waltzing Mouse. I use the snowflake from Season's of love-Tag set and repeat stamping to create the background.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

PDCC82. WMSC47, CR84FN28, Card Patterns115

Happy Friday , the weather is so nice this week in Seattle and I try to soak up as much Vitamin D as I can. The sunshine makes all the flowers look so much prettier. Have a good news to share : I am Fab 4 of PDCC81, There is a fun color combo this week and hope you play along.

I have two cards to share today. First is for PDCC82 and WMSC47
(Miss the deadline for few minutes. I thought it closed midnight. bummer) 

Here is my card. I want to jump out of my comfort zone and play with some shabby color so I apply Tea Dye distress ink on all the elements, paper, ribbon, rose. Still keep it simple as I always like. What do you think?
I got the inspiration from Jean Martin again to stamp the borders on punch out border. You can see her beautiful  creation Here. What a genius idea and I just have to give it a try.

The border on punched out cardstick is from Waltzing Mouse stamp Very Vintage labels No. 10 , sentiment from Papertrey Ink Big and Bold Wishes.

Second card made for CR84FN28 (Color) and Card Patterns Sketch115 (sketch)

Here is my card. I need a birthday card for a sweet little girl. She is a happy kid and always smiling. You can find sunshine through her smile. This weeks CR84FN color is bright and bold, just perfect for her.

I create the bottom pattern using PTI Background Basics: Retro and marker. Sentiment from PTI Tag-Its#1 and flower from Flower Fusion#1. I also die cut a butterfly out of yellow felt from Spellbinder dies.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

2 cards for few challenges

Happy Friday, sorry for not posting for so long. The fatigue definitely revisit again. My goal keeps the same that I want to make as many cards as I can before the baby arrives. I put myself together this afternoon to make two cards.

First one is for Card Patterns Sketch#114, PDCC#81 and PTI MIM#14: Selective Inking.

I use the sentiment from Make a Wish set from PTI. I stamp the [Happy] twice on top and the [Birthday] in the bottom.  

I die-cut the butterflies 4 time out of a gray pearly pattern paper, stack them and adhere.

 

Second one id for CR847FN27 using bright pink, gray and cream.

I stamp the doily from Delightful Doilies from PTI in light gray ink. Die cut a Lacey Circle from bright pink cardstock. Also I add the cream lace and ribbon to fit the color combo. Hope you like it. 

Have a great weekend.

PDCC79

2nd post today. I have to admit that I was struggle with this week's color combo from PDCC79 : Red, Lime and Grey. Since Hero Arts is the sponsor this week, I just have to play along. I clear my mind and try to go through my storage baskets and hope to find some inspiration. Well, I find my way back to my all time favorite, Clean and simple style. Here is my card.

I use Vine label Emboss folder and flourish die from Life Style Crafts. Flower from CG251 Small Solid Flower set, sentiment from CL129 Anytime Messages both from Hero Arts. I stamp the flower with Barn Door Distress ink, cut out and adhere on embossed card base with foam tape. Oh~ it's so pretty. (I got it at Joann with 40%off coupon.)

Have a wonderful day.
