Elizabeth Craft Designs Day

I am continuing on with the new Everyday Elements Release cards.  Since Easter is right around the corner, I used the Everyday Elements Picnic Basket & Bunny die set.  This bunny is so fun!

The Happy Easter is from the Everyday Elements Playful Sentiments.


See you next Monday~

CutCardStock Day


Hi All - it's time again for another CCS day here on the blog and over on Instagram.  For today, I went with a fun basic card, that I believe, looks awesome.

As par, I used the 130# Bright White card stock as my base.  [I love that this makes such a sturdy card.] I went and pulled out the following card stocks to finish off my card;

130# Bright White

Pearlized Jet Stream Blue

Scottish Highlands Green

Granny Smith Apple Green

Yellow Jacket

Aqua

Using an embossing folder, some dies, and gems from my stash, this card came together pretty easily.

I hope you liked my card for today~

He's just a sweet bunny!  Perfect for my grandson Easter card.

Just Us Girls Challenge #769 - Die Week

Yep, I can do this!
 
I just got this Colorado Craft Company stamp set, Citrus Berry Cupcake and matching dies.  I had no idea this was such a large cupcake, but seriously, I love this image!  [It was easy to color too!]

I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this mixed font HB with matching dies!  [This has become a favorite.]

No flowers on this fun die card~

Your turn!  I'm hoping you play along over at JUGS #769.  Sure is an easy challenge~

The Male Room Challenge #197 - Geometric

I do adore making geometric cards!

I also adore Pinterest for finding inspiration!  I must say, I love my card.

I used papers from CutCardStock, and love this color combo.  Works perfectly for a masculine card! I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Birthday using SS products.

The sentiment strip is from Simon Says. 

Your turn!  You have all month to join in over at The Male Room Challenge and show us your geometrical card.

AAA Birthday Challenge #72 - Mythical

So fun!
 
Well, Rupert was really happy to pose for this challenge!  The owner [me] spent 2 hours putting him together.  Rupert doesn't come out very often, but he's a fun dragon when he does!

There are lots of very small parts for Rupert - hence the time it takes [me] to get him to pose!  

I felt he needed something in the background so I did some ink swiping in purples, and stenciling in blacj.  I like the end result.  He will work well for my great nephew!

Your turn - just upload your mythical birthday card over at AAA Birthday.  This should be a fun gallery.

Poppy Stamps Challenge Guestie!


How fun!  I was invited to play along over at the Poppy Stamps Challenge for April!  The theme is make a splash - [basically use water somehow].  So.many.choices.!

I decided to use the freebie that came with my order - the Whittle Tree Border Die.  That in turn had me making a fun outside water scene.  (For the shadows in the water, I flipped the negative die cut from cutting out the trees, and used it as a stencil!  Gotta love a dual freebie 😉.)

I also used one of the Happy Birthdays from Birthday Banners Stamp Set(How fabulous that this set has matching dies!)  For this card, I didn't use them, but you can be sure I will be in the future.

Okay, it's your turn! The challenge runs all month, and there is a prize for a random drawn winner.  You do need to use at least one stamp or die from Poppy Stamp. Tell them you saw it here~  Have fun!

Thanks Poppy Stamps for the invite!  I had a blast playing along~
