Happy Hedgehogs ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today's card is carrying a theme I started a couple of years ago with the now retired stamp set Happy Hedgehogs. I decided to continue the theme using another sketch by Try a Sketch on Tuesday  - #646. 

Everlasting Beauty ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today I have another floral card to share with you that was inspired by Try a Sketch on Tuesday #645.

Happy Hedgehog ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

I'm posting a cute card made with the stamp set Happy Hedgehogs. I made a card using these colors and this stamp set a while back and thought I'd carry something similar into another card.

Forever Blossoms ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today's lovely card is inspired by another sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday (#454).

Happy Pink Poppies

Boy has it been snowy and cold in Michigan for the past couple of days.  I definitely wanted to make something with flowers for today's Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge instead of  a wintery scene!  I love the new set Happy Watercolor, so I thought I would use the poppy along with the flower garden embossing folder.  Since there are pink poppies I thought I would make the card with pink instead of the more common poppy that is orange.  As I'm sitting here typing this I'm imagining that color would be pretty too.  Hmm...maybe a second card is in order.  We'll see...

Don't forget to check out what the other designers made HERE using this sketch.  Why not play along too if you get the chance. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Faith in Nature

If you need to whip out a card quickly, today's card is the one to do.   I quickly made these up at our church's all day craft day a couple of weeks ago.  I wanted to use the new hostess set and my blender pens that I had just bought (and couldn't find anywhere!).  A friend let me borrow hers before I went crazy looking for mine! ;)  Thanks, Anne.  

The pears were so easy to fill in using a bit of ink and a blender pen.

I do wish the "Happy Birthday" turned out a little darker, but I think that can easily be fixed.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge 1

Today I am very excited because I am entering my card into Stampin' Queens first Sketch Challenge that heard about from my upline Glenda.  She is a member of the design team...congrats, Glenda!  I'm also excited because I finally bought some blender pens and have been wanting to use them with this stamp set.  When I saw the SQSC design, I knew I had the perfect opportunity to give them a try.

I must admit, it is a little bit of work coloring it in, but once you get the hang of it it goes pretty fast.  I will definitely be using this technique more...but only if I'm doing a few cards at a time. ;)

I had to put something on the inside after making the outside so colorful.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
