Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge 175

My card is for a very dear friend's birthday.  She is only two weeks younger than I, but we've shared lots of life's ups and downs.  My card is for the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch challenge 175.



I replaced the bow on the sketch with a popped up butterfly to keep the card flat for mailing purposes.  It's a bright and cheery card, just like BJ.  Here's my version:


Stamp Sets: Flower Shop and Papillon Potpourri
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White and Gingham Garden dsp
Ink: Island Indigo and Melon Mambo
Accessories:  Blossom punch, Elegant Butterfly punch, Pansy punch, 3/8" Melon Mambo striped organdy ribbon, and dimensionals

Welcome Baby! Hannah Lee has arrived

Yesterday, my niece welcomed a new baby girl into our family.  Little Hannah Lee arrived on her Aunt Katie's birthday (just missed mine).  She joins her parents and older brother and sister.  When I hear Morgan was having a baby girl, I knew the Something for Baby set would be perfect for the card.  Of course, I had to decorate the inside just a little.



Stamp Sets:  Something for Baby and Itty Bitty Banners
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Silver Foil sheet, and Candy Vellum
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink, and Tangelo Twist marker
Accessories: Big Shot, magnetic platform, Baby's First framelits, Bitty Banners framelits, 5/8" Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, and glue dots

Fab Fri 45 and PPA 210

I'm still working on Thank You cards for the Idaho trip.  Today I'm combining the sketch challenge from Fab Fri 45 and the color challenge from Paper Pal Arts 210.


PPA210 Basic Gray Lost Lagoon Pool Party

I needed to make my card mailable; so no major embellishments.  Here's my version:


Stamp Sets: By the Tide and Lots of Thanks
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Pool Party, and Moonlight designer series paper stack
Ink: Basic Grey
Accessories: 2-1/2" circle punch, 1/4" Pool Party (Sycamore Street) ribbon, paper snips, dimensionals

I really liked the wavy pattern of the Lost Lagoon color in the Moonlight paper pack.  When I saw it, I knew I had to make a swimming fish card.  The ribbon I used is from last year's Sell-A-Bration freebie: Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack.  Yes, I hoard everything and then I scramble to use them later.  I couldn't find my Pool Party seam binding which is what I wanted to used on this card.

Patriotic Pinwheels

I've got to say that the June Paper Pumpkin kit is awesome!  It was geared for 4th of July celebration items.  I created a pinwheel bouquet from part of my kit.  It's it patriotic!  Everything I needed to make my project was included in this month's kit.  


Do you want to join in the fun?  Go to my Paper Pumpkin, click on the tab to join, enter your information and select me, Karen Christensen, as your demonstrator.  

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July!
