Strawberry Fields

 What a delightful new bundle the Sweet Strawberry is! I had a great time using it, including the Sale-a-Bration DSP, for this card, in response to Freshly Made Sketches' challenge #473 and #TGIFC304. 

The card:

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up! card (Night of Navy, Whisper White, Soft Seafoam, Granny Apple Green), ink (Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy, Soft Seafoam) Sweet Strawberry stampset, Strawberry punch.

Hooray!

 Hi!

Today I'm inspired by three challenges: Less is More #435, CAS(E) this Sketch #405 and CAS Colours and Sketches #405. 

I figured that, with the world in the state it's in, I'd invite you to find some little moment of celebration!

Here's the card: 

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up card (Pacific Point, Whisper White, Brass), ink (Just Jade, Poppy Parade, Pacific Point), stamps (Nothing's Better Than, Sip Sip Hooray), Dies (Love you more than). 

Hubby's Valentine

 It's that time of year again - time to make a Valentine's card that I like, but that is masculine enough to give my husband. I've chucked some flowers in here - but he's a gardener, so I reckon I can get away with it. Thanks to Sunday Stamps Challenge 249 and As You See It Challenge 242 for getting me started! 

There's quite a bit going on in this card that I'm not sure will photograph well - I hope it doesn't just looked like I slapped some Very Vanilla together! 😀 I embossed the heart and the card front with different folders, and also cut one sentiment frame into another. 

Here's the card: 

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up! ink (Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Cider), card (Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler), stamps (Awesomely Artistic, Petal Palette), dies (Tasteful Labels), embossing folders (Hammered Metal, Subtle) Hearts punches, Cherry Cobbler watercolour pencil. 

Other products: francheville rhinestones. 

Paper Players and CAS Colours and Sketches

 With this card, I used two challenges as starting points: Paper Players 523 and CAS Colours and Sketches 402. These are not colours I'd naturally turn to, so it was fun to move out of my comfort zone. Similarly, I'm taking a while to get my head around the hydrangea suite - but having fun doing so. 

The card:

Ingredients: Stampin' Up! card (Whisper White, Misty Moonlight, Blackberry Bliss), ink (Misty Moonlight, Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Memento Tuxedo Black, Stazon Black), Stamps (Hydrangea Haven, Needle and Thread for sentiment), Hydrangea dies, Textile Texture embossing folder, In Colour enamel dots, Bumblebee pen. 

Minimalist flowers

 A very simple card for Retro Rubber's Challenge 146. In fact, embarrassingly simple! Ah well. Varied Vases is from a 2017 Stampin' Up catalogue. 

Ingredients: Stampin' Up!: card (Whisper White, Thick Whisper White, Black Foil), Varied Vases stamps, Varied Vases punch. 

Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

Silver Christmas

 I  love the lacy, gossamer effect of Stampin' Up's Metallic Mesh Ribbon, and so enjoyed using it in CAS(E) this Sketch's challenge #395. I've ensured this is a 'CAS' card by keeping to silver and white - a challenge for someone who loves colour!

Ingredients: Stampin' Up card (Whisper White, Thick Whisper White, Silver), Beauty and Joy stamp (sentiment), dies, (Pointsettia, Painted Labels, Stitched Shapes) Quilt Top embossing folder, Metallic Mesh ribbon.

Other: Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Ingredients: Stampin' Up! card, (Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Rainbow Glimmer Paper), dies, (Happy Birthday thinlits, Layering Circles), adn Basket Weave embossing folder.
