Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #459

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  I know some places around Ontario had snow earlier this week.  Thankfully we did not though it's cold and damp!  I kinda feel like winter might be coming a little bit earlier this year than we're used to!  I also realized that this weekend is the time change.  I kinda think that the pandemic started the weekend of the time change so maybe it will disappear this weekend?!  One can dream right?

We have a new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  I am this week's hostess!  I'm so excited and hope you guys like the sketch and will play along!  It's definitely not my usual kind of sketch.  I stretched myself with this one and it's totally out of my comfort zone!

Shockingly enough though this was the first edition of this card!  I saw the poppy paper and knew it would work!  Crazy right!  I think I fall in love with this paper more and more when I use it!  I wish I had hoarded a bit more of it!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Mossy Meadow, Basic Black, Granny Apple Green,  Cucumber Crush

DSP: Painted Poppies

Stamps: You're So (Reverse Confetti)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Other: You're So Confetti Cuts, Poppy Moments Dies, Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the girls have created!  I hope you'll join us this week and create your own card using my sketch!!   

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #421

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!

We have a fantastic new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazingly talented and absolute Queen of Clean, Jen Mitchell!  Jen's cards are always beautiful and she can create such gorgeous, clean cards!  I am always in awe!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I kinda knew what I wanted to do with Jen's sketch when I saw it.  I love my poppy stamps.  You guys already know that.  I decided I wanted to try out the "bunch" of poppies this time!  I had to try some gold embossed on black and then I wanted to do some where I coloured them!  I decided the plain white background was a little to sparse so I used the pinewood planks embossing folder to add in some texture.

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Gold Foil
Stamps: Painted Poppy, Honey Bee
Ink: Versamark
Other: Gold Embossing Powder, Double Stitched Squares (Lil Inkers), Square Dies (Spellbinders), Double Stitched Circle Dies (Lil Inkers), Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, Sequins, Dimensionals.

More Poppies!

Hello!
Happy Tuesday!  Another random card post!  I know, it's shocking!  I'm shocked myself but it's the poppies.  I cannot help playing with the poppies!  I just love them and the paper!!!  There is a fun and slightly challenging sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch this week!  I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I just started playing around with my card and voila!

This isn't the first sentiment I put on and I had to peel the other one off and change things up a bit because it just didn't look right.  This photo does not do the card justice either.  The paper is just so pretty!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Gold Foil
DSP: Peaceful Poppies
Other: Poppy Moments Dies, Celebrate Script (Taylored Expressions), Celebrate Backer (Taylored Expressions), Peaceful Poppies Sequins, Dimensionals

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!

I hope you have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #419

 

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  Here we are coasting into the end of the week already!  At least I'm looking at it that way!  We're expecting some warmer weather the rest of the week which will be good to help melt the glare ice on my front step.  I may have slipped on it today and went sailing down and onto my driveway.  Miraculously I remained upright the entire time!  Needless to say we need the ice to melt!!!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the lovely Lee Ann Barrett!  Lee Ann's cards are always beautifully coloured!  I'm always amazed by her stunning creations!  You should head over to her blog and check them out!

I can't stop playing with my new poppy stamps and dies!  I absolutely love them and can't wait to use them again.  You will probably see them ALL the time now.  But I'm not really sorry!!  The Peaceful Poppies DSP might also be something I just LOVE!!!  I can't even get over how gorgeous it is!  Put them together and I'm in love!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Whisper White
DSP: Peaceful Poppies
Stamps: Honey Bee, Painted Poppies
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Peaceful Poppies Sequins, Stampin Blends,

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the Design Team has created.  You will be glad you did!

CAS(E) This Sketch Poppy

Hello!
Happy Sunday!  Some of you might be shocked seeing a notification that I made another card!  It shocked me too!  I decided to take some time this weekend and work on a card that wasn't for a Design Team!  I also wanted to play with some of the goodies that I received for Christmas and haven't really had a chance to open yet!

I opened the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch and just loved it!  I knew exactly how I would play this one out!!!

I love my new Stampin Up poppy stamps and dies and knew they would work perfectly for this card.  I also incorporated my Honey Bee stamps as well!  I also have a thing for black, white and red so I was excited to give this a try!  That poppy though.  I just can't get enough of the poppies!

Supplies
Cardstock: Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Basic Black
Stamps: Painted Poppies, Honey Bee (SU)
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Poppy Moments Dies, Peaceful Poppy Sequins, Stitched Rectangles (Lil Inkers), Stitched Banner (no idea where this came from), Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have an amazing day!!!
