I Like to Cut & Paste: 4th of July Cards

I've used the free digi from ADFD and then I decided to make teeny tiny pinwheels out of patterned paper.  This is the first time I've ever done it--and it was way easier than I thought it would be!  I LOVE the way this turned out--I think it's darling! And we may be making this card at my July workshop, I think!

Stampin' Sisters in Christ: A Bit of Heaven

The Pink Elephant: Vibrant Colors

Simon Says Stamp & Show: Some Texture

Okay, this might sound silly, but I've had some washi tape for quite some time and haven't used it.  Because I was worried that I wouldn't use it RIGHT.  How do you use a craft supply WRONG? was my husband's question.  OKAY, he's right!  And this is what I came up with!  A washi tape sunrise!  Some strategically placed bling on top of the monochrome crumpled image with some pearly glimmer mist to finish it off!

Wow...

PERSONAL INFO SHARE TIME: Okay, so anyone who knows me knows that I am seriously organized about my blogging.  I make my DT cards and blog about them all in a few days.  I just got done today doing this and I feel SO RELIEVED!  Whew! ;) 

Also, you still have 2 days to play along with Technique Tuesday and make a Velveteen Stamping creation!  I'd really LOVE to see a lot more players--I really want to give out prizes!!!

Now, back to the main reason for this post--I have 2 cards to share with you!!!  And these two cards are in totally different styles...we'll see if you like them!

Here's the first card~

Sugar Creek Hollow: Vintage Fashion

Moving Along With The Times: Celebration--BUT NO BIRTHDAY

Dutch Dare: Sketch

I used a digital image found at The Graphic's Fairy and a K&Co. sticker for the sentiment.  I plan to send this to a friend who's gone through a rough year and needs a reminder to celebrate--she's awesome! :)

Here's the second card~

For Your Inspiration: Photo Inspiration

Pals Paper Arts: Sketch

This one is way more CAS and to my true liking.  Lots of dry embossing and minimum bling!  Doesn't this just look like summer?!  I was inspired by the summery scene and colors in the photo--such a happy picture! :)

Thanks for stopping by!  I really appreciate all of your comments--they make my day!  Now I'm off to see what other people have created!  Happy stamping!!! :)

They call me mellow yellow....

...not really today.  I've been in a very much LESS THAN sunshiny happy mood today.  Very tired, very grumpy, and very ready for the school year to be over.  And I lost my temper at work with a coworker.  Which literally takes a lot of effort, because I try really hard to brush stuff off and go with the flow as much as possible.  So now I feel like a failure after coming home feeling justified and then taking a nap.  I just want to quit--dealing with the same issues every single day seems pointless to me.  Not sure WHY I'm telling you this, but I needed to get it out!

Okay, let's go onto the actual reason of the post.  One of my absolute favorite colors--YELLOW!!!  I do NOT use this color as much as I should, especially since it really is one of my favorites.  Second only to purple!  So imagine my great delight when I saw that the challenge over at Less Is More was to make a CAS card using yellow!!!  I decided to keep it really simple, and so a one layer card...with some bling and glitter. ;)

Here's my card~

Details~

I was so happy to get to use yellow that I made another card using yellow, too!  This one is for the Do You Stack Up Circles challenge and the Moving Along With The Times Summer Sunshine challenge!  The song "You Are My Sunshine" inspired this card--the sentiment reminds me of the lyrics, "You make me happy when skies are gray." :)  I also used a little used embellishment--buttons!!!  I have quite a few, and NEVER use them.  So, new goal!

Here's the card~

Here's the cool inspiration from DYSU~

I'm so glad you came to visit tonight/today/whenever you're here!  I hope you like what you see and that you come play along with the fabulous challenges!  And thank you for not judging me.  I just needed to vent a bit there at the beginning!  Happy stamping, friends! :)

A Free Digi Frame

Well. You know that I don't use a bunch of digi images, but the one I've used tonight is really fun! It's a flowery frame from Bird House Stamps. And all of the images on this site are FREE!!! You should check them out--they're amazing! :)

Here's the card~

Details~

Isn't it a fun frame?! And perfect for a clean and simple card! I love the pop of bright colors along with the black! :) I heat embossed a bunch of butterflies at the bottom with clear embossing powder. I created a faux digi butterfly by stamping a butterfly from a stamp set, using a blender pen to make it look colored in instead of stamped, and outlining it with a fine black pen. Added some glitter a few rhinestones for some glimmer! :)

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Prairie Fairy Fridays~Spring Fling
Moving Along With the Times~Easter Wishes
Less is More~Take Three Challenges (I chose Week 3: Spring, Week 16: Butterflies, and Week 43: Bit of Bling)

Thanks for stopping by--happy stamping! :)

Pinkalicious...AGAIN!

Well, it seems like pink is the color of choice lately! ;) I have a VERY pink card for you--and, of course, it's a Valentine!!! I got to use some new papers to make this, and some stamps I haven't used in a while or EVER, and so I'm really excited about it!!! :)

Here's the card~

Details~

Is it pink enough?! I hope so! That's what they're asking for over at Charizma Cardz! I've also used this week's Mojo Monday sketch, flowers for the Moving Along With The Times this week, and lots of bling and gems for this week's Cute Card Thursday challenge. :) I hope you come and join in the fun with us! Happy stamping!!! :)
