Spring Note Card Set

I was determined to get all of these challenges in...lol....I settled on a Note Card Set. I wanted to use the colors from The Color Throwdown #76, melon, so safron, and old olive. I adore these fun spring colors together. I was also so inspired by Kristin's note card set shown here. I used several sketches Taylor's Sketch Challenge, TESC98 from last Friday. Card Patterns Sketch #47, Stamps and Smiles Sketch, SASSC49, and Clean & Simple Sketch, FTL75. I also used today's IC216 to help me complete my note card set. I chose the pillow shown here, that's when I reached for the round puffy flowers from the Verve set Budding Blossoms. I used several punches, buttons, silver beads, stitching and a glitter pen to accent each note card. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, all of this cold weather has given me cabin fever. I am ready for the sunshine....enjoy!

My Love For You

Good morning. I must say this every weekend, but where do they go? Can you believe that today is Jan. 17, this month is more than half over. You know we will be making vacation plans soon, that is fun. Speaking of vacation, check out these cupcakes, they are beach ready...lol. These are so fun, today's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge is keyword CIC42. I used the fun paper pack from Basicgrey called Sugar Rush and the flower is Basicgrey and it is called Bloomers, isn't that a fun name? The sentiment is from Verve the set is called Hundred Hearts. The LOVE tag is Basicgrey stamp Valentines Day, it is so darling. The row of tiny hearts under the sentiment are from this same set and it is only a $1.99 for five stamps, so worth it! I added a sequin to the little tag and then added a Crystal by Zva Creative to the center. I also used Stamps and Smiles Sketch, SASSC48. I hope you can make time to play with us, be sure to check out the other Hope Stamps Eternal Sweeties creations.

Good morning, this is the last day of my Christmas break, it is back to work for me tomorrow. You know what that means less stamping, creating, and blogging...I will miss visiting your blogs. I will still do all three of these things with every little minute that I have free.
I have created for you today a more pastel card, I thought the little cupcake was sooooo cute. What better way to be inspired but than with cupcakes...yummy...remember the Hope Stamps Eternal Design Team Call...go check it out! I used some sweet designer papers from Basicgrey. The yellow one is from the Nook and Pantry collection and the other one is the Basicgrey new paper pack called Sugar Rush, I luv this pack so fun and cheery. I used two different stamps to make a bouquet of flowers, the first one is called Blossoms by Imaginisce and the other is called Thank You. I colored the flowers with copics and then added a sweet little Zva Crystal to the centers, they are so sparkly and pretty. I used a notebook punch for the one panel and a corner rounder for the tab with the sentiment grateful on it. I added distressing and ribbon tied with a button and twine. I used the Stamps and Smiles Sketch, SASSC46.
Be sure to check out the other sweeties creations.

A Warm Hello

I created this quick card for today's CC232 to use close to cocoa, vanilla, and taken with teal, I used Prism colors that match these colors. This is also for the sketch over at Stamps & Smiles.

I used the new SU medallion and heat embossed it with versamagic ink and clear embossing powder. I added a Kasier craft pearl to the center and the tag tied with satin vanilla ribbon.
