Concord & 9th | Hurray and Hello Lovely

 Hello lovelies, I am here with my Butterfly Reflections Friday Inspiration for this last Friday of July. Sure seems Summer just got started and all I see around me is the back to school sales and advertisements.

To keep my mind off it, I am thinking of all those upcoming fall weddings and birthdays. Shades of Gray seems to be the perfect fit for both...To make this card I am using two of my favorite items from Concord & 9th, Hurray stamp set, and Hello Lovely stamp set.

To make this card, I began with my gray cardstock as a base, then stamped in Altenew Industrial Diamond & Dark Graphite the pattern from the Hurray stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Dark Graphite.

Next, I stamped the floral from Hello Lovely and fuzzy cut that. Adhered to the card with foam adhesive. Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins were added and a touch of white gold watercolor from Gansai Tambi Starry was the finishing touch.

I love the minimalist look of this card. Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Pretty Pink Posh | Smile

Hi, friends! Hope all is well on your corner of the world, today I have a very fun shaker made with Pretty Pink Posh Smile die.  

I love the critters from the newest release, but I wanted to create something more "adult". As most of my cards will be going to my church to be sold at donation and proceeds to the missionaries, I wanted to make a variety of cards to suit my future "customers".

This card is made using the following Pretty Pink Posh products:
-Smile Die
-Everyday Greetings Stamp Set
-Sparkling Clear Mix
-Stitched Notes Dies
-Scalloped Frames Dies

 To make this I die cut from a patterned paper the frame from Scalloped Frame Dies, then created the shaker with the Smile Shaker Die in black card stock. The Sparkling Clear Mix was added, finished off with the sentiment "you did it", heat embossed in black. The note pocket is from Stitched Notes Die set.

It turned out very sweet, and it will be something that I think will be picked up fairly quickly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh | Always In My Heart

Hi, friends! Today I have a simple card using Pretty Pink Posh Bold Bloom set and Thoughtful Greetings. 

Recently, I have been obsessed with everything gray. Perhaps it was the long gray winter here in the Pacific Northwest. Anyways, orange and gray was the theme for this card. To make this I trimmed a gray card stock to be my card base. Next, I stamped the Bold Bloom set in two different orange tones, on a white card stock then trimmed it be placed off centered.

The sentiment from Thoughtful Greetings is stamped in the darker orange ink. Then I placed silver washi tape on the edges.

Once that was all set,  I wanted more dimension on it. So with the leafy stems of Bold Blooms, I Copic colored and placed Glossy Accents. Of course, it wouldn't be done without some Silver Sequins. 

I liked the different colors of this card, it is happy yet not overly bright.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
