Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm sharing a "no stamping" card with the current Allsorts challenge to use shades of blue.  It's very rare for me to make cards completely with dies.  The papers are an older Stampin' Up! In-Color combo.  This is my first time using the Bella Bouquet die by Memory Box.  The Kaleidoscope Butterfly die is also Memory Box and the sentiment is from docrafts.  A few coordinating gems finish the card.  I would like to share my card with the following: Allsorts Challenge:  #817 Shades of Blue  PIP Challenge #2507 Anything Goes Lil Patch of Crafty Friends:  #248 Anything Goes Polkadoodles Challenge:  #3 Anything Goes  

  I hope everyone is having a great weekend and sneaking in a little craft time!   In case you hadn't heard, My Favorite Things has begun their weekly challenges again.  Woo-Hoo!  Every Wednesday they will be posting either a sketch or color inspired challenge.  Hope you will come join the fun! My card features the retired MFT Birth-yay stamp by Birdie Brown.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto various MFT designer papers.  Twine and gems finish the card.   The card design was inspired by MFT designer Zoe.  You can check out her adorable card HERE .

I'm playing along with the current challenge at House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge .  They also offer an option with their Anything Goes theme.  This week we were asked to use some design paper. I recently purchased Berry Good cling rubber set from the House Mouse Designs Spring Collection.  The image was stamped onto X-Press It card stock with VersaFine Clair ink.  I colored and die cut a portion of the full image for my card. The image was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  It was layered onto designer paper from Basic Grey Indie Bloom paper pad (sadly no longer available).  A few enamel dots and a gingham bow finish the card.

  Are you a thrift store, garage sale, flea market shopper?  I LOVE to find a good treasure.  I was so excited to come across this adorable House Mouse woodblock stamp recently at my local thrift store.  I Give You My Heart (2003) was produced under the Stampabilities brand.  I couldn't wait to ink it up! The image was colored with alcohol markers.  A lightly sponged sky and Wink of Stella highlights on the flowers complete the scene.  I layered the image onto several scrap pieces of designer paper from Echo Park and Pebbles Garden Party paper pads.  Bakers twine and pearls complete the card.

  I have been on a short crafty break while spending time with visiting family.  Lots of food, memories and laughs! I'm playing along today with the current challenge at Di's to Add a Sentiment with her adorable Cute Parade digital image.  The image was colored with alcohol markers and layered onto colorful papers from Doodlebug Designs Take Note paper pad. If you have not visited Di's shop before NOW is the time!  She's having a great summer sale with 50% off.  Just use the code below. This sweet card will be going into my birthday stash.  The inside sentiment reads: Hip-Hip-Hooray It's Your Birthday Today!
