Just Us Girls #724 ~ Cherish Every Kindness

 

 

It's stencil week at Just Us Girls! 
Anything goes as long as you use a stencil. 

 

I've used the pretty Altenew Golden Days stencil set for today's card. It's a big flower that fills a card panel beautifully. After stenciling, I cut the panel with the Pinkfresh Folk Edge die. This was layered onto a light pink panel then the white card base. I thought this lovely Poppystamps sentiment paired well with this fine flower!

We hope you'll pull out some of your stencils and whip up a card for our gallery!

That's it from me today. We're off to Sweet P's third grade concert this evening. I'm told there will be singing and playing of the recorders!

Poppystamps

Oh the  joy I had when seeing this darling Corner Shoppe Wooden Cart die from Poppystamps! It's part of the new release and I'm in love. The floral designer in me was in overdrive! Head over to the Poppystamps blog to see what I did with it and a few other new dies from the Corner Shoppe release.

Just Us Girls #723 ~ Just Because

Check out the fun Mood Board Vicki has for us this week at Just Us Girls!

Here's a close up for you.

I picked a few things to put on my card and I hope you can see my inspiration! The colors, flowers and waves are obvious. My trio of tags? Well, they came from the gray and striped swimsuits and the sky behind them! Do you see it? Let me just add that this wavy stencil is a booger to use ~ OY!!

Alrighty, it's your turn now. How will Vicki's Mood Board inspire you? There are so many possibilities. Maybe you can make more that one card to enter!

Happy Birthday

These rainy days sure do make good crafting days. A quick run to the mailbox, dodging raindrops, made the day even better. I had a package from Simon Says Stamp! I was the lucky recipient of a gift certificate a couple of weeks ago and put it to good use. The pretty Magnolia die by Honey Bee Stamps was one of my new toys. It seemed a good fit for a few challenges. This will be heading to the Freshly Made Sketches, Seize the Birthday and  Tic, Tac Toe galleries. 

Using the sketch, I made a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square card. The birthday topping option this week is green plus one color. Mine is pale pink ink blended lightly onto some of the magnolia petals. The Tic, Tac Toe options of square card, die cut and embossing gave me what I needed to finish the card. The embossed panel was gifted to me by sweet Michele! A simple foiled sentiment tab from Memory Box was the finishing touch.

 

 

And there you have it, friends. 

Thanks for taking a minute to stop by today!

Love You

Hey there, I'm popping in again today with another card! This one is for The Paper Players challenge.

With the rainy day we're having, I thought a bright and happy rainbow was in order. The Poppystamps Hearts Shining Arch is a cute one! I Copic colored the paper added behind the cutouts, (made with the Rainbow Arch die), then framed it with the Double Scallop Frame. I picked the bright green from the rainbow as my card base color. A simple sentiment was all it needed. I'm thinking this is a Sweet P card, hence the blue heart, her favorite color!

Thanks for taking a peek, I appreciate it!
