Mother's Day Card Making Challenge with Paper Garden

May 7, 2018

You all know I love a great challenge. I'm participating the Mother's Day Card Making Challenge with Paper Garden. This challenge is all about cards fro mom and is unique as there are prizes for the winning card.

My card features handmade 3D flowers in shades of purples. I used a scallop circle punch to created these flowers. The greeting is hand stamped using the Make A Difference alphabet stamp set from Stampin' Up! (available in a bundle now!).

Are you ready to see all the entires and vote? See cards below - the entries close on May 10th. I would love if you would consider casting a VOTE for my card (number 15). THANK YOU! - Charlet

March Madness- Anything Goes - TGIF Challenges 101 #TGIFC101

March 31, 2017

Welcome to another TGIF Challenge. This week we were asked to let loose! We had no theme, no direction, and we've given free reign to create whatever we wanted. I decided to continue to play with the Oh, So Succulent bundle. I love these products.

YOUR challenge is to choose a TGIF project to CASE! Doesn't this sounds like so much fun? You can see all of the projects options over on the TGIF blog.

If you decided to case my project I've provided a simple template and/or color combo for you to reference. Can't wait to see what everyone creates. HAPPY STAMPING!

Supplies listed below.

Oh, So Succulent - Stamp Review Crew

March 19, 2017

Hello and welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Oh, So Succulent edition blog hop. If you are traveling in order you've just arrived from Betty Traciak and will move onto Kelly Kent after this. There are so many talented stampers in this hop, inspiration abound!

At first I struggled coming up with a card using this set. Stampers block I guess. To push through I stamped multiples of all of the succulents, colored them, and then die cut them out. I had a pretty large handful of paper succulents that I could play with and arrange.

I created a flower box on this first card using a small portion of the Hardwood background stamp. I added a couple of screw embellishments from the Urban Underground to finish it off.

Having these succulent pieces at the ready made it easier for me to create. It was like a little flower shop appeared in my craft room. If you like to arrange flowers this set is seriously for you.

This next Mother's Day card uses the basket from the basket builder framelits to create the container for the succulents. The paper doily was stained with Blushing Bride ink by pressing the doily directly into the ink pad and then letting dry. To soften the Mint Macaroon card stock I layered a small piece of Sending Love glassine sheet on top.
