CAS-ual Fridays Redo

Back again...  I just had to redo my card for the CAS-ual Fridays "Over The Edge" Challenge!  My original card HERE just seemed TOO BUSY to be CAS, and the monkey got lost in the background paper.

Ahhhh, so much better!!

The orange twine is a RAK from my friend Char, and the cloud paper and polka dot paper are both from my friend Lisa.  Thank you, girlies!!  :)

I feel much better now.  :)  Thanks for visiting today!

CAS-ual Fridays

Hello!  I have a card to share that I made for the CAS-ual Fridays "Over The Edge" Challenge.

I chose a big balloon as my element to go "over the edge".  The balloon is from the George Cricut cartridge.   I thought the background paper from October Afternoon's Campfire line was just perfect for this card.  I wanted it to look like the monkey was being carried away by the balloon!

 The monkey is from the fun Changito Birthday set by Stampendous.

Clouds were made using cloud die from Papertrey Ink.  Sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

Hello!  I am sharing a card that I made for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.  I've been wanting to play along with this challenge, and managed to get my card done just in time!  The Paper Smooches images are just so cute...  they make me happy!  :)

Here is my card:

This was our inspiration photo:

I used the colors orange, brown and green, and made my card in the shape of a tree.  The tree top was cut with a nestie die.  The tree trunk was cut free handed.  I used dies to cut the balloons and the clouds.  The bird was stamped with Stazon ink and colored with a blender pen and ink.

The baker's twine is the twine that the Paper Smooches stamps come packaged in!!!  How cool is that?  :)

October’s Technique Tuesday Stamping Tech Blog Hop!

Hello!

Welcome to October’s Technique Tuesday Stamping Tech Blog Hop!

It’s the time of year to give thanks to the important people in our lives. So this month, the Stamping Techs want to share with you some fabulous thank you cards.

I made a set of Thank You cards:

I have a few  Distressed Inks that I have not used.  And I also just got the Technique Tuesday Two Steppin' Mini.  (Only $2.99!!!)  So these cards started by just inking these flowers to see how they looked and to try the ink.  That is how I decided on the color scheme.  I found papers to match from the older Basic Grey line called Mellow.  Lots of fussy cutting...  but I'm weird and love doing that!  :)  Flowers were finished off with some brown pearl paint in the centers.  

Also used This Life by Ali Edwards and A Million and One by Ali Edwards.
